makes sense rudolph went at fourth overall. it's not very often you can add a red-nosed talent to light the way at night.

If a rounding error difference in taxes (after accounting) is so important to these superstars, maybe they should try acting like superstars to promote the league instead of aspiring to be depth players in quiet markets that they want to stay quiet

Happy NHL Draft Day. Some thoughts…

a good middle manager looks like a guy who just drinks coffee and forwards emails, but his actual job is secretly absorbing insane executive requests so the team can just do their work

After a long day of driving we’ve finally had the time to explore a bit and it was WORTH it. This is somewhere in the Watkins Glen State Park in New York.

For a moment I felt like I was deep in the jungle searching for an ancient lost city.

Happy Dominion Day, everyone!

It rules that most of the quotes on my tweet were along the lines of "this is just Canadians hating on southern markets out of jealousy, their teams should work harder" etc and then Matthew Tkachuk comes along and is just like "yeah, everything Jeff said" https://t.co/iJn0hfM3AJ

@RomulusNotNuma It's the kiss of death when that columnist approves it 😬

@dstaples All I've seen is fans who pushed back on anyone who questioned his loyalty or commitment. And the Sens podcast I listened to said he cooled off on the team well before the Olympics (Coming in Hot). Imo, he wanted to be n5 on a team, not #1. It doesn't fit the vicitim narrative.

This is gonna sound green but: I loved every part of reporting this story.

There is much more to growing World Cup grass than I thought there was. And in a time of strained Canada-US relations, the pride that a local family farm took in growing grass for #CANMNT was palpable.

@JackieBee_16 This is the last coach I wanted here, but if they can make it work, then I will cheer for the team (as I always have).

It's time to cut through the bullshit about the Cowboys tent. Stampede succeeds because Calgarians welcome millions of people into our city. That goodwill matters. A few operators do not get to treat neighbours like garbage and damage the reputation of an event that belongs to all of us.

By now you've seen the coordinated smear campaign from out-of-town politicians. They think you're stupid and want you to believe that we're somehow cancelling Stampede by asking the big tents to use the same rules in place at Coachella, Lollapooloza and all the other world class festivals.

That's the first piece of bullshit. We're not talking about Stampede at all. We're talking about a few off-site tents that have been treating their neighbors like garbage.

Here's the truth. In the last few years, the tents were given a special exemption way above and beyond what was in place up until about 2019. People living near these tents were told to call 311 and wait. Their windows shook and broke. Their shelves rattled. Music ran on weeknights until 2 or 3 a.m. They dealt with property damage, public disorder, and excessive intoxication outside their homes.

Thousands of Calgarians raised their concerns. And just like when we repealed blanket rezoning, the city chose to listen to the people rather than answer to the money.

The second piece of bullshit is that Calgary's rules suck compared to everywhere else. In fact, the changes are modest. There's no change on weekends. But on weeknights, concerts now need to wrap up by 1230am. Even with this change, it means that Calgary still allows outdoor music later than anywhere else in North America.

The third piece of bullshit is that this was done last minute. This wasn't a last minute change. The big tents knew in February that their exemption was under review. Cowboys was told again in May. Their exemption depended on managing noise, safety, and impacts on nearby residents. They did not meet that standard.

But what isn't bullshit is that as your mayor I'm fighting for you. I want you to know that a permit is not a licence to bully a neighbourhood. It is not a profit guarantee. I was elected to stand up for Calgarians, not to take orders from wealthy donors, lobbyists, or politicians protecting their friends.

I am more than happy to seek compromise and work with operators who respect Calgarians. But I answer to the nurse on an early shift, the parent getting kids ready for school, and the worker who needs sleep.

So no. We are not cancelling Stampede. We are protecting it. Stampede succeeds because Calgarians welcome millions of people into our city. That goodwill matters. A few operators do not get to damage the reputation of an event that belongs to all of us.

If you want to do business in Calgary, respect the people who live next door.
