@gtj1247 Been saying this for years....why do we have this stupid rule? If a ball curves "out" but lands within the field of play...play on. Lighter balls... different footwear....players that can bend the ball....keep the game going and drop this stupid rule.
'To Jewish families, more than 1000 years of history is bleak evidence that they are right to fear they will once again be on their own.'

@saskatchewan_in@KarlDHarrison 100% accurate....if only we had leadership in this country and a media who held OUR leaders accountable for broken promises...we get what we deserve.

🏥 Canada’s Trump Derangement Disorder
There is a peculiar illness sweeping the Canadian political psyche.
It is loud, emotional, self righteous and completely disconnected from reality.
Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Everywhere you look, Canadians are running around shrieking that the sky is falling because Donald Trump is president of the United States.
Not Canada. The United States. A foreign country whose voters exercised their democratic right and chose the candidate they wanted.
And that is the part that seems to enrage so many Canadians the most.
Donald Trump may not be a likable man. He is brash, blunt and unapologetic. But he was duly elected by the American people, and unlike most modern politicians, he is actually doing what he told his voters he would do. During Trump's campaign:
▪︎ He promised an immigration crackdown.
That is happening.
▪︎ He promised to rein in unchecked government spending.
That is happening.
▪︎ He promised to put American industry first.
That is happening.
▪︎ He promised to challenge global trade arrangements that hollowed out US manufacturing.
That is happening.
▪︎ He promised border enforcement, regulatory rollbacks, and a harder line on crime and foreign entanglements.
That is happening.
Like him or not, his record of following through is remarkably consistent with what he campaigned on.
Now contrast that with our own situation.
@MarkJCarney campaigned on economic stability, affordability, unity, restoring confidence, protecting Canadian workers and strengthening our domestic economy.
What Canadians got instead was stagnant growth, rising household stress, collapsing productivity, worsening manufacturing output, worsening affordability, deepening regional resentment and a government that seems more interested in global applause than domestic performance.
Yet somehow Canadians are far more emotionally invested in America’s president than in their own government’s failures.
Some Canadians have cancelled trips to the US.
Some refuse to buy American products.
Some march in Canadian streets protesting American policy.
Some spend their days rage posting about Trump while their own grocery bills explode, their own jobs vanish and their own economy drifts.
The irony is painful.
There is no other foreign leader in living memory that Canadians obsess over this way. Not China’s leadership. Not Russia’s. Not Iran’s. Not Saudi Arabia’s. Not Venezuela’s. Only the United States. Only Trump. Because hating Trump has become a social identity for a certain segment of Canada’s political class and media.
And our media happily feeds it.
Columnists like Andrew Coyne churn out moral outrage about Trump while downplaying or outright ignoring the wreckage at home. It is easier to sneer at Americans than confront the uncomfortable reality of Canada’s own decline.
What makes this even more absurd is the moral superiority complex.
- Canadians lecture Americans about democracy while refusing to respect the outcome of their democratic process.
- Canadians talk endlessly about tolerance while expressing open contempt for tens of millions of American voters.
- Canadians demand accountability abroad while excusing broken promises and dysfunction at home.
At the end of the day, Trump is accountable to Americans.
Carney is accountable to Canadians.
One of those leaders is delivering what he promised.
The other is not.
If Canadians devoted even a fraction of their Trump rage to demanding competence from their own government, this country would be in far better shape.
Instead, we get endless noise, endless outrage and endless distraction while the real problems in Canada grow larger by the day.
I am fed up.
Sick and tired of the hysteria.
Sick and tired of the media’s complicity.
Sick and tired of Canadians screaming about America while their own house is burning.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is not patriotism.
It is avoidance.
And Canada can no longer afford it.
I was born in 1961.
Nobody had food allergies.
There were no TRANS kids.
I could ride public transportation without being set on fire.
I could go to school without getting jumped.
We played outside until the streetlights came on.
Cartoons didnt try to turn us gay.
Movies and TV shows didn't try to depress us about our lives.
Families didn't break up over politics.
You could say "Merry Christmas" without starting a war.
A man was a man, a woman was a woman, and nobody pretended otherwise.
Nobody lost their job or their home for merely stating biological facts.
We respected cops, teachers, and the flag.
Nobody was "offended" by EVERYTHING.
And if anybody WAS offended by anything, it was THEIR PERSONAL PROBLEM, not a national crisis.
Call me old-fashioned and outdated - but I really miss those days.
I'd give anything to go back to BEFORE 24/7 cable news, social media doom-scrolling, and algorithm rage machines.
Because tech turned families into enemies, politics into war, and every keyboard warrior into a lie-spreading narcissist.
So Santa, if you're following me:
All I want for Christmas is a global time machine.
So we can get back to the glorious days of real community, actual news, personal responsibility - AND SANITY.
@RitaPanahi@PierrePoilievre As a Canadian suffering under our current clown of a PM...we deserve Pierre......just need that election for a brighter future.
