“God bless the Weston family,” says Ford, when asked to explain why he won’t introduce legislation to stop surveillance pricing, the latest scam being used to gouge consumers. There you have it folks: conservative politicians rule for billionaires, not ordinary working people.

He has economics degrees from Harvard and Oxford and has led two G7 central banks. Two.

"I'm angry, I'm really angry. I'm at looking some lowest paid public sector employees we have in this province & Ford just took out the biggest baseball bat he could find (with Lecce's Bill 28) & went to town & acted like none of us are going to notice!"

I don’t think the Season 2 is going to entice players back and if future Seasons are modelled in the same way, they won’t make a dent either:

- Not enough new maps
- 2 maps split 1 month apart, lapsing players between drops
- Gas mask is a gimmick, NVGs look like one too based on b-roll
- Little Bird should have been there at launch
- Dirt Bike should be live now, not Phase 2
- IGLA should have been there at launch
- No weapon progression fixes, current system doesn’t respect player’s time
- Vehicle “glass cannon” balance not fixed yet new heli has been added using current unsatisfying balance model
- Netcode still very fragile, lots of work needed to resolve this
- TTK needs sorting out, somewhat tied to netcode perhaps (one frame deaths, dying behind cover etc.)
- Operations being limited time is baffling, beloved BF1 mode being used as a FOMO mechanic
- Portal experiences still hidden in the worst UI ever made for a Battlefield game
- No server browser to allow communities to form and congregate in certain servers on specific days/times
- No persistent, official servers to allow players to choose what they want to play

The new Contaminated map is actually good fun. It’s just a shame people are going to fatigue on it so fast because there’s no other maps dropping with it to keep things fresh. That’s why 4-map DLCs worked so well for BF3 and BF4; you rotated through several maps, keeping each more interesting and entertaining for longer.

The entire focus of Battlefield 6’s live service is wrong for the audience that plays Battlefield games. Stop making “experiences” and instead a base game where players make their own. You know, the whole “sandbox” element that Battlefield is known for: give players the tools, they’ll make the experience.

If they feel emboldened and safe enough to fly their flags on our streets, there is a problem. This is in Kitchener, today, in 2024.

If we, as a society, as a community, or as a collective, refuse to confront acts of hatred and the cancer of fascist ideology head-on,

Canadian gem Ismael Kone is set to join Watford, here we go — it will be record transfer fee for Montreal 🚨🟡⚫️🇨🇦 #transfers

Pozzo’s project includes Watford and Udinese for near future — it’s the most attractive one for Kone despite offers from Italian, German, Dutch clubs.

In a recent CBC Sports article, the question of whether Alphonso Davies' celebrity is a problem for Team Canada arose.

While Canada Soccer has directed players and staff to give back the Team Canada sweat tops, pants and polo shirts they have been provided for training sessions, the federation this summer spent $11,074 on new custom suits for board members.
