I’ve been in Niagara Falls, NY for 2 days and here are my thoughts:
1. Every entry level job is filled by an American - young and old, black and white.
2. Young college aged men are cashiers and servers.
3. Older white men are security guards.
In Canada the bulk of our service and low level jobs are filled by foreign workers and foreign students. I rarely see security guards who are not recent immigrants/TFWs
When you see things the way they used to be the difference is stunning.
They have no problem filling their jobs with Americans, and tons of serving/cashier jobs are young people.
What have we done??
Last week I was asking a journalist (who works for a major Canadian media outlet) about this.
This journalist agreed that Media in Canada had largely quit covering any opposing viewpoints to the government.
This journalist speculated that it happed during Covid. They had become stenographers for the government, believing that they had a moral duty to get the “government’s” information out…..and they never quit.
Maybe that’s true. Maybe it’s as simple as that (as horrifying as that is)….but I suspect it’s even worse. There are vested interests that don’t want the Liberals to ever lose power.
In an free and democratic society the media has a responsibility to question the government and hold them accountable.
Canadians deserve no less.
🚨Regarding Mitchell Griddy Marner:
What’s the biggest difference from this year and years prior in the playoffs? He has played against far less physical top 6 forward cores in Utah and Anaheim vs years prior (Florida, Tampa, Boston). And it’s giving him confidence to make the plays he’s making. Griddy is a world class player no doubt, but the match ups have been way more favorable and tailored to his style of game. A leopard doesn’t change its spots. He’s just been reaping the benefits of less physical hockey against Utah and Anaheim. Not having to play against a bunch of dogs you’d find in Mike Vick’s backyard has made the world of difference for Mitchie. And that’s the truth.

This is worth repeating:
I never cared that you were gay until you started shoving it down my throat, and I never cared what color you were until you started blaming me for your problems.
I never cared about your political affiliation until you started condemning me for mine.
I really never even cared where you were born until you wanted to erase my history and blame my ancestors for your problems.
I never even cared if your beliefs were different from mine until you said my beliefs were wrong.
But now I care. My patience and tolerance are gone, and I am not alone in feeling like this. There are millions of us who feel like this.
Jason Spezza who had no previous suspension history got 6 games for a Knee on Pionk. Gudas a repeat offender who has 4 previous suspensions totalling 21 games only receives 5 games for a blatant knee that ended Matthews season
Make it make sense

It was all an illusion: The “MOUs,” the big announcements, the new Major Projects Agency, the speeches about urgent action.
At this moment, the world is crying out for our oil, the price is rocketing, and one of our biggest oil companies slams the brakes on its investments, citing Carney’s carbon tax and regulations.
We need to move from rhetoric to results.
Now.
BREAKING
The Liberals, NDP and Bloc Québécois have voted against our Conservative motion to cancel taxpayer-funded, premium health benefits for REJECTED asylum claimants.
That means failed asylum seekers, who the government's own Refugee Board rejected, will continue to get premium health benefits until they leave Canada (whenever that may be).
According to the government, these free, premium health benefits include:
Vision care, counselling, assistive devices, home visits, nursing homes, transportation, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and interpretation services.
Canadians who have paid into a healthcare system their entire lives don't even receive these benefits.
What other country gives premium health benefits to people it tells to leave?
No wonder the Parliamentary Budget Officer revealed the Interim Federal Health Program will cost taxpayers over $1.5 BILLION every year.
I’m Canadian and I love being Canadian. I take pride in it.
But the amount of absolute bullshit some of you are spewing about Americans and the weird self-hating Americans turning a hockey game into some woke political war is embarrassing.
It’s painfully obvious a lot of you live in a bubble and haven’t stepped outside your basements in years.
And I promise you this the NHL players I know (check my IG and creep who follows me if you don’t believe me) think you’re absolute losers for making it this deep.
Im so sick of seeing dickless men with long hair claiming to be women.
Youre a mentally ill man.. Stay the fuck out of women's sports, bathrooms and locker rooms.
People fighting for this deserve hate...
