@jimmy_19821793@Banx_Leaf The Mecca of hockey wouldn’t have needed several miracles to barely squeak past a nation that’s a tenth of the size of them. Enjoy the gold though, they only come once ever 46 years or so (for the US anyway)
@thingsKTtweets@liltaterhockey Mainly higher violent/property crime stats in certain Canadian markets lately, plus general family safety considerations like schools, neighborhoods, etc. Also, more attention usually causes more issues. Mitch Marner went from death threats in TOR to not being recognized in VGK
@liltaterhockey Players like big markets in other sports because that’s where the money and success is. Nothing to do with their ‘love for the game’ or anything beyond money. Not the case in the NHL. No need to complicate or overthink it
@liltaterhockey The real answer is that it’s not a single reason. Nothing ever is. It’s a combo of taxes, harsher markets, safety, proximity to other things, and a list of other factors that require players to put in more effort for less reward.
@AquamarineMeth @_Zojka He wasn’t ’verbally abusing’ anyone, he was a robbery victim. Even if he was, there are no words that justify murder. Anyone who thinks that it’s reasonable to take someone’s life over a combination of words is unfit to participate in society.
@hardyrenos It’s misleading to frame it like that. 4 years of importing East Indians has not made the economy less stagnant. There is no reason to believe that continued mass immigration will have any per capita economic benefits to incumbent Canadians.
