@TSN1200 He's a gifted player but perhaps not as good a fit with where the team wants to go. Trading him was the right thing to do, though the return on investment will take years to show. Draft picks only matter if you can draft quality players.

@chriswarkentin But if he stayed home when so much is happening around the world that directly affects Canadians, you'd be in a hurry to label him lazy and ignorant.

@Victoria59L Right. The "Liberal govt" is behind the decision by Rogers to move the Saturday night hockey broadcast on to paid platforms. I'm upset about this too, but look carefully before pointing fingers.

@Concern70732755 I should think that Concerned Conservative Canadians would much rather a petition calling for the resignation of their party leader. Carney's education, professional accomplishments and strategic thinking are quickly rendering Poilievre irrelevant.

@JakeLandauTO I wouldn't rule them out just yet. They're pretty much where they were at this time last season. One bad game does not a season make.

@AntonioTweets2 Really? Or are you exaggerating on both the access to drugs and gender surgery to prove your point? I'm not a fan of either but I also don't appreciate debate the simplifies a complex situation.

[Bernard Gauthier, PhD @bgauthierpr]

@VinnysCorner1 True. Go Jays, go!

@acoyne I'm not so sure the "we are the most European" is really the important point here. The fact that the PM says we have chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe is perhaps the more important statement.

@Michael7ucci You fell for Trump's negotiation strategy hook, line and sinker. Of course he's playing disinterested. Of course, he's trying to build a sense of panic in Canada. He will likely let it lapse and then offer a chance for a new deal.

[Bernard Gauthier, PhD @bgauthierpr]

@nspector4 @MatinaStevis It's classic Trump "deal-making." Pretend you're disinterested, make the other side desperate for a deal, and leverage your new-found power to negotiate a better deal. Of course, it's BS; that's why underreacting to this is the best approach.

@BladeoftheS How is it that FIFA allowed this to happen? They should have responded before the start of the first game and simply moved Artan to games in Canada or Mexico.

@Ducnghia16 In my books, this song is the very best cover of any song ever performed or recorded. Cocker took a classic and added an entirely new and perfect dimension to it. He respected the original and improved on it. Wow!

@kinsellawarren The current rail lines are owned by the freight rail lines. That's why the passenger trains need to move off and let the others go by. Still, I agree we need to look at options; there are existing rail lines and old highways that might serve us well.

[Bernard Gauthier, PhD @bgauthierpr]

@FoodProfessor You have fallen for Trump's plan, hook, line and sinker. Of course he says he doesn't want to renew it. Of course he says he doesn't need what Canada has. He's been saying these things since taking office. If we appear desperate, then he will begin negotiating.

[Bernard Gauthier, PhD @bgauthierpr]

@mario4thenorth I completely understand your fear and frustration. What I don't understand is how you point your finger at Carney. That's simplistic and misses the point entirely. Trump is attempting to "obliterate Canada." It's part of his negotiating strategy. He's said the same thing before.

@VinnysCorner1 Warren Cromartie of the Montreal expos!

@MelissaLMRogers Look more carefully before you write. The EU is an association of independent countries. American states are not at all like independent countries.

@khnh80044 Given the dozens of incredibly iconic and gifted musicians, the fact that Freddie Mercury and Queen absolutely stole the show says it all. Brilliant.
