A lot of you do not understand that a not guilty verdict simply means that the burden of proof was not met. It does not mean someone was found innocent. Also anyone who has survived sexual violence or been in the justice system knows what an uphill battle it is. What EM went through is well documented and even if it didn’t meet the burden of proof for rape, it was wrong and egregious behaviour, enough for Hockey Canada to try to cover it up, enough for those men to film not one but two “consent” videos, if you think any of that behaviour is ok or defensible I do not know what to say to you .
@jo44527486@TheBlueGem3 Syphay downtown is the best in yeg hands down for Thai. Pad Thai is excellent. Vietnamese; co do hue in the NW. Ate at many Vietnamese places and none really stand out that much.
@PrimetimeSamWoo@LetsGoDevilsPOD Flawed post and poor analysis. Depends on the nationality of the players on each team. Does not matter where the team plays out of. What percentage of Canadians born players are on the canes and golden knights? That is the comparison to make.
@JackieBee_16 Our mini barks at everything; air, moving trees, people, birds, other dogs, broom, vacuum cleaner, runners, cats on our fence, thunder and rain. Overwhelming at times.

@TheBlueGem3 Lux downtown is good! Chop is usually good too. Good deviation from the keg. Joeys is good. Cactus club is good. I prefer Korean bbq, Thai Vietnamese and Mexican foods these days though

Also - “we’re going to have to get those girls making more babies”
Gross. 1. Women have babies, not girls. 2. Women aren’t here just to bear children.
Mitch Sylvestre and his separatist cronies can eat a full bag of dicks.
@JackieBee_16 When I broke four toes after taking a slapshot off the side of my foot in a cold Saskatchewan arena playing rep hockey, I had no idea what happened until I finished the game and took off my skate. All my toes were not straight, hurt like hell and needed resetting.

The latest artist that has pulled out of the Great American State Fair is reported to be Nick Cannon. Organizers were surprised by the move saying "this is the first time Nick Cannon has pulled out of anything."
@JackieBee_16 Seek and destroy is classic!! Forgot about that one. St Anger was a bad album and experiment. You are right; most Metallica songs are better than most artists. So many good hard rock and metal bands that I like and listen to past homage to the might Metallica
Carter Hart is about to play in the Stanley Cup Final. He was acquitted of sexual assault charges this past summer, but there is a lot more to the story. With the brightest lights now shining on him, it is important to understand the nuance of the controversial case.
“We Believe E.M” does not mean we believe every detail of her testimony. It does not mean we believe she did not make any mistakes that night. It simply means we believe she was sexually assaulted. And the evidence supports that belief.
I will leave you with some facts. This is all available if you research (tw // sa):
- There is ZERO evidence or testimony that EM ever asked Michael McLeod to invite additional men to that hotel room. McLeod never testified, and all we have is a video interview with police where he never made that claim, meanwhile LYING when he denied sending a text invite to ALL his teammates. On the otherhand, there is text evidence the following day of EM telling McLeod she did not expect more partners, and it was not disputed by McLeod.
- There is ZERO evidence or testimony that EM ever asked (or was asked) for Cal Foote to do the splits over her. Even if you believe the men’s story that she was saying “have sex with me”, she never said “teabag me”. The judge actually agreed in her report there was no consent, instead she dismissed it saying it was non-sexual based on Carter Hart’s testimony that Foote was not naked.
- In 2022, Alex Formenton & Dillon Dube BOTH CONFESSED to Hockey Canada that Cal Foote was naked during the splits. This was ruled inadmissible on a technicality. Other than Hart, no other witness dared to say Foote was clothed; they all pretended to not remember.
With this information, at the very least, McLeod and Foote are guilty:
- Foote performed a sexual act without consent. It does not make him a rapist, but it is a crime
- McLeod is an accessory to that sexual assault
If these two men were given the guilty verdict I strongly believe they deserved (even if it was a proverbial slap on the wrist; i.e. a 6-month house arrest), it would have been an amazing teaching moment for our nation while setting a modern standard for consent.
The conduct of the others, including Hart, may not have been illegal. There was certainly not enough evidence to prove it was. But that does not mean what they did wasn’t morally reprehensible. The NHL and Hockey Canada both agreed.
The NHL kept the players out of the league for months PAST the ruling, citing their own private investigation. Hockey Canada stood in the House of Commons and said “harm was caused” after paying out a civil settlement.
But what Hart did was more than morally wrong. He lied under oath to protect his teammates. This is actually perjury. The judge by law is not privy to those 2022 confessions, but we as a public are. We are allowed to pass judgement in the court of public opinion.
Hart is not a conquering hero who overcame adversity. He is a liar who abused his privilege and legal protection to obstruct justice. He is allowed to continue his career, and we are allowed to remind him of his abhorrent behaviour.
