@CandiceMalcolm You guys are fucking hilarious! Essentially accusing media of committing an act lifted verbatim from the CPC playbook and too stupid to see the irony.

@walsha The NHL manages to find new ways to embarrass itself every day. Moronic flex.

@FoodProfessor And thus giving them nothing instead of something. There goes the baby with the bathwater. Say what you want - nothing but petty partisan gamesmanship on the backs of a suffering country.

@spittinchiclets Oh, fucking puhleeeeaaase! Typical Toronto-centric bullshit.

@KFowlerTV Never worn figure skates, but the picks look dangerous, especially with uneven ice conditions on the canal. Plus, hockey skates just look sturdier.

Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

@SarahFischer__ My god, this is the Tory braintrust? Fundamental lack of understanding of monetary policy, but fully embracing YouTube economic hucksterism around crypto. Hate the current government but would be equally fucked with these idiots in power.

[GeoffTakesOn 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 @GeoffTakesOn]

@MLFOREVER99 @Sportsnet @SUBWAYCanada @MapleLeafs I’m guessing because the League sold them the regional rights for the game and therefore contractually they can only air the game locally.

@acoyne OMFG this idiot just shouldn’t be allowed to speak about international affairs. Let his capable Minister of Global Affairs speak for the government 😂😂🤣🤣

@McNevan79 @WhiskeyNick95 And Deej and Capuano have shown that just because you’re NHL coaches doesn’t mean you can coach the solutions either.

@popunkprettyboy A smart, engaging and entertaining analyst. In general, I find TSN’s panels (Garrioch notwithstanding) and colour commentators (at least the ones that do Sens games) WAY better than SportsNet’s. Gord is the best PxP guy in the biz (Abbott needs work).

@CBeataE Line drive to right field.

@walsha The NHL couldn’t care less about what fans or broadcasters want. They’ve shown that over and over and over and over and over and over again.

@Senators Does Hainsey work for the team? Used to enjoy his interviews during intermissions 😂. Didn’t pull his punches.

@red__onions Hell yes! Still am. A vastly under-rates third line centre. Heart and soul guy.

@JulioHashem Wait, he didn’t actually say that, right?
