@David_Moscrop That FIFA made up a ‘peace’ award to give to said corrupt govt might have been a foreshadowing of who really was going to run the corrupt show 🤷🏻‍♂️
I suspect the IOC will have to follow.. probably a bigger award prior to LA 28.. hard to know which ‘sports’ org is more corrupt.

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@Devin_Heroux The Canadians especially the women were cheated out of a few more medals & some them likely gold except for the East German systematic drug regime that was revealed years later. The IOC seemed to have little interest in revisiting that travesty & the tainted results remain.

@Nyanni237 @glblathletichub Too many other comps now. There used to be far fewer opportunities for intnl comp. besides Olympics, World champs only started in 1983 & were every 4 years initially & now every 2. Now diamond league etc.

@twinetime14 Dunstone is going to have to play better in the semi. They were very lucky to win the game this morning. But you have to wonder how much is left in the tank of the team.

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@Devin_Heroux Note that it’s possible neither the men’s (Mouat) nor women’s (Homan) current world champions make the semi finals. Who would have thought that would be the case with 1 round left?

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@FullLaneFemme I’m sure it’s been published in the same ‘journal’ that proves Covid is only spread by droplets (that travel a max of 6 feet) and is best prevented by washing hands and multiple surface cleaning per day & that curtains between hosp beds are sufficient to prevent spread 🙃

@Devin_Heroux According to olympics official web site women’s slopestyle final is postponed.

@BevSmithWrites He also had the second Canadian team (LaLa)at 17th by far their lowest ranking. So he seems to have a bias against Canadians.. perhaps he had a bad batch of maple syrup once & has never forgiven us 🤷🏻‍♂️

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@rockerskating The British judge would still try to rank them 6th / yes I know there are only 5 teams - sarcasm or perhaps reality when it comes to the current dance judges?

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@BenSteiner00 High expectations for short track. They account of 1/3 of the total predicted medals including 4 of the 10 gold . 1-2 finishes in mens 500 & 1000.

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@twinetime14 What a fun opportunity 🥌🥌🥌🥌

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@_OwenM_ Mens 4x1. USA not medaling.. are you presuming a dropped baton ? Canada gold is very very optimistic Andre de grasse just recovering from injury. But I hope you are correct.

@OttSensNetwork You must be new here… It’s known as Autowa for a reason.

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@TDotResident Well he deleted the vehicle registration fee .. technically not a tax.. of course that only benefits auto owners.. his favourite group of disadvantaged people. .. i mean aside from his donors 🤷🏻‍♂️

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@OccTranspo Hard to not to feel this is symbolic of current situation of Oc Trans poo. ( not a typo 😉).

& also symbolic of a significant minority of all drivers in Ottawa - the signs are for everyone else !

Are we sure our Mayor wasn’t the driver?

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@Devin_Heroux Wonder if he will get the nod for the back stroke leg on men’s medley relay. Which looks to have a good chance to get to the final and possible a high placing if Dawson can replicate or improve on the relay legs he did for the mixed relay. With Kharun on bf & liendo on free.

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@emjsachs Given Dawson’s times in the mixed medley perhaps likely he will be asked to swim the men’s medley? Knox seems to be a bit off his best this competition.

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@vibrantdad Also they are making machines bigger but often not much more capacity. (so more materials required). There is no middle size.. either compact or large size. Unfortunately we had to replace our 25 yo maytag. Even maytag didn’t make same physical size as we had.

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@SjamieIt @OttawaCitizen Problem is politicians are mostly attracted to shiny new stuff not reparations. Also i believe the majority of our wards are suburban / ex urban. + our subburb proponent mayor.

[glenn robb @glennrobb8]

@buildwithbob @OccTranspo It seems to me that not that long ago our current mayor was shrilling for the ‘poor’ parking lot owners downtown. So perhaps this is his way to make them less poor.
