@habforhumanity @xwleblancx Here are the rules:

If an arbitrator awards the player a one-year contract, the team cannot trade that player without the player’s consent until January 15 of that season.

If the arbitration results in a two-year award, the player can generally be traded immediately

Dear @liberal_party government,

I heard your announcement about topping up the GST rebate to help with food inflation, and I want you to understand something right away.

It did not make me feel helped. It made me feel dismissed.

Because this is the pattern now. Every time your poll numbers slip, every time the Prime Minister embarrasses himself, every time the public starts asking uncomfortable questions, out comes the same solution. More cheques. It is like you believe Canadians are toddlers who stop crying when you shake loose change at them.

But groceries are not expensive because Canadians forgot how to budget. They are expensive because of policy. And that is the part you refuse to talk about.

Food inflation in Canada is not just “global forces.” It is also built into our system. We have carbon taxes on fuel, transport, fertilizer and processing. We have fuel regulations that quietly raise costs every year. We have a dairy supply management system that legally forces Canadians to overpay for milk, butter and cheese so a protected industry mostly in Ontario and Quebec can stay profitable. We have trade barriers that limit competition. We have massive regulatory costs on farmers and food processors. We have a government that keeps adding cost, then pretends to be shocked when prices go up.

And instead of fixing any of that, you send out a rebate and call it compassion. Do you see how insulting that feels? It is like you broke my window, then handed me a towel to weather the rainstorm.

If you were serious about food affordability, you would do the hard things.
* You would reform supply management.
*You would stop layering climate policy onto food production without considering the price impact.
* You would reduce regulatory costs instead of pretending they are invisible.
* You would actually measure whether your policies are making food more expensive.
But that would require admitting that government can be part of the problem. So instead, you throw money at the symptom and protect the cause.

And let us talk about trust for a second. You say no oversight is needed because this is urgent. You say no transparency is needed because this is compassionate. You say no accountability is needed because this is about helping people.

But Canadians have watched what happens when you spend without oversight. SDTC. ArriveCan. Billions lost, misused, or handed to friends. No consequences. No claw-backs. No real answers. So now you want us to believe this time will be different. This time the money will fix the problem. This time it will not be wasted. This time it will not disappear. This time it will not be used to buy political loyalty.

But here is the truth. Money is not a solution when government policy is the cause. It is just a distraction. You are asking taxpayers to fund the damage done by your own decisions, instead of changing those decisions. That is not leadership. That is political damage control. And Canadians are tired of being treated like a PR problem instead of a policy problem.

We do not need another rebate. We need a government that stops making food more expensive in the first place. Respectfully, stop tossing cheques at the mess you created and calling it help. Fix the system.

Heads up: Trudeau's tax hikes on gas, heat, groceries, beer & wine are coming on April 1st.

Only Conservatives are fighting to cut taxes for ALL Canadians.

Sign to say NO to Trudeau's tax hikes:

If this decision doesn’t make you question everything, we’re not sure what will.
@BulfordDaniel aptly pointed out the discrepancies in crime and punishments

@snizzzzbone @woumaxx Wrong. A push, or drop the gloves would have been ok… no player (other than Leafs) agreed that a stick to the neck/face was the right answer.

I literally cannot believe I have to post this, but yes, Leafs fans out there are saying that Morgan Reilly aimed for his shoulder, but Ridly “ragdolling” caused the crosscheck to be higher. Lets check it out:

Ridly Greig / Morgan Rielly:

Greig scored a legal goal. There is no “code.” The “code” is an excuse and part of hockey’s toxic culture. You’re defending this as a cheap shot on an empty net? Rather than a cheap shot against a human? Suspend Reilly, move on.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's high time we take a hard look at the spectacle that's unfolding before our very eyes. I've just wrapped up watching the full, uncut Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin on X, and let me tell you, it was an eye-opener. For two hours, Putin laid bare the mechanics of global politics, a narrative far removed from the bombast we're accustomed to. He proposed a vision of a world where the strings are pulled not by elected leaders, but by the so-called deep state. And whether we like it or not, the man made sense, offering a perspective that, while undoubtedly serving his interests, cannot be dismissed out of hand.

But as a Canadian, I'm not just disappointed, I'm downright embarrassed. Putin seized this opportunity to lecture us on the 'Nazification' of the West, singling out Canada in the process. He pointed to Yaroslav Hunka, a controversial figure who received not just an ovation in our Parliament but also an invitation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to a rally in Toronto. This, my friends, is where the embarrassment deepens. Our Prime Minister, a man who has elevated virtue signaling to an art form, stood and applauded a figure whose past aligns with the very antithesis of the values we hold dear.

Taking a step back to digest the political landscape, it's clear this isn't just a one-off mistake; it's symptomatic of a larger issue at the heart of Trudeau's administration. The failure to vet Hunka properly before giving him such a platform isn't just an oversight; it's a catastrophic blunder with far-reaching implications. It undermines not only Canada's standing but also that of our allies, lending credence to Putin's narrative and casting Zelenskyy in an unfairly malign light.

And who's at the helm of this debacle? Not Anthony Rota, not Pierre Poilievre, not Zelenskyy, but Justin Trudeau. The responsibility for inviting a former S.S. Nazi into the halls of our Parliament, thus sparking an international incident, lies squarely with the Prime Minister's Office. Rota's resignation as Speaker is just the tip of the iceberg; the real issue lies with the leadership—or lack thereof—provided by Trudeau.

My fellow Canadians, it's hard to stomach the theatrics we're subjected to by Trudeau and his press galleries. The absurdity of his remarks, like accusing conservatives of wanting to "make Canada great again," as if longing for a stronger, more unified country were some form of political blasphemy, is beyond parody. "COME ON, JUSTIN," I find myself saying, expecting such juvenile tactics from the likes of Mark Gerretson, but not from the Prime Minister of Canada. Frankly, at this juncture, Gerretson would likely offer a more principled leadership than we've seen thus far.

But here's the crux of the matter, my fellow Canadians. As we look toward 2024 or 2025, it's clear that a monumental shift is needed. The political landscape is ripe for change—a red wedding looms on the horizon for Trudeau's Liberals if projections by 338 Canada are anything to go by. They're not just poised to lose; they're on track for a decisive, potentially historic defeat.

So, what does this mean for us? It means we have a choice. A choice to continue down this path of virtue signaling, empty rhetoric, and international embarrassment, or a choice to pivot towards a future where Canada reclaims its dignity on the world stage. A future where our leadership is guided by principle, integrity, and genuine respect for the values that have long defined us.

As Canadians, our resolve has never been tested quite like this. But I have faith. Faith in the strength of our convictions, the depth of our resilience, and our collective desire for a Canada that stands tall—united in purpose, unwavering in its commitment to greatness, not just on the domestic front but globally. The next election presents an opportunity for renewal, for rebirth. Let's grasp it with both hands. Let's ensure that come the next election, the red wedding Trudeau faces is not just a political metaphor but a resounding call to action from a people ready to embrace a new chapter. Canada deserves nothing less.

Question: The CBC sued the Conservative Party in the middle of an election they were covering. They lost the lawsuit - and taxpayers are on the hook for those costs too. Why would anyone trust them to be impartial or fair?

Answer: The CBC president says $1.4 billion of taxpayer money is not enough.
