@USWPColby @mattgurney In the Americas, Canada has the 2nd highest defence spending and is the 6th most populous country. Notice no other country in the Western Hemisphere is taken to task over this.

@CollinRugg How far would a trained assassin get compared to this amateur guy?

@KevinVuongxMP @CBC @CBCNews It took me less than a minute to find this CBC video that contradicts your statement. It specifically points out residents flying the flag.

@Reuters Comments like this from Carney and the ongoing rhetoric from the Trump administration are all part of the negotiations. They both know it.

@nationalpost He could check with Jelly Roll on how to enter Canada with a criminal record.

@CTVAtlantic Now compare cost per capita for MLA salaries by province

@CTVAtlantic Will New Brunswick be next?

About a year ago Jordan Peterson asked Pierre Poilievre who some key people on his team were. His response was Andrew Scheer, Leslyn Lewis, Jamil Jivani and Melissa Lantsman. What would his answer be today?

@tmb30000 @TSNCurling Please explain

[Dave Cogswell @davcogs]

@writerbengt @MatsGus13559155 @TSNCurling I believe everyone is following that rule.

[Dave Cogswell @davcogs]

@Staino93 I highlighted the World Curling interpretation of the rules. I also highlighted the actual rule. Nothing in the rules mentions granite except the definition of a stone.

[Dave Cogswell @davcogs]

@cullenoncurling That’s a good decision. Now they will have to justify their interpretation of the rules ,regarding the retouch, that disrupted the event more than a little swearing did. I suspect new rules next season.

[Dave Cogswell @davcogs]

@HYDRZeon @EvanDykstra @cullenoncurling That is the ruling that World Curling made in the middle of the Olympics, not before. It is not stated anywhere in the rules that touching the granite should be treated differently than touching the handle. If you can find it please post it. Suggest they misinterpret rules.

[Dave Cogswell @davcogs]

@EvanDykstra @cullenoncurling The ruling says retouching the handle is ok but not the granite. The actual rule does not say that. It says ok to touch stone which is basically granite. They have made a new interpretation of the rules in the middle of the Olympics and it has ruined and discredited the event.

[Dave Cogswell @davcogs]

@cullenoncurling World Curling should revisit their rule interpretation of the “ retouch”. It’s not even in the rules that the granite cannot be retouched upon release.

[Dave Cogswell @davcogs]

@Devin_Heroux It’s bogus. Where in the rules does it say ok to retouch handle but not granite before hogline? Granite is mentioned in rules only once to define the stone. Rules say ok to retouch stone. This interpretation is destroying the event.
