One minute you have Ron “the Snake” MacLean rambling on about his sister’s kid in Oakville marrying a deli owner who used to be an Olympic-level curler, who makes the best pancakes he’s ever had.
The next minute you have Jennifer Botterill campaigning to make face washes a suspendible offense and crying about violent actions performed in an inherently violent sport in which everyone who plays does so by their own volition.
Finally, no Social Justice Night in Canada would be complete without Kelly Hrudey trying to score some leftist points by going on and on about his or a player’s “mental health”.
HNIC was an institution—something Canadians once considered a highlight of their week. It introduced a lot of Americans to Canadian hockey culture from afar. It had a captive audience during the first intermission, when one of the most entertaining figures in NHL history, Don “Grapes” Cherry, would shoot straight from the hip with amazing and insightful hockey analysis that has not since been matched.
Today, that same program stands as a source of embarrassment for the same fans that once made it the institution it was.
The worst part is that it doesn’t have to be this way. HNIC could be resurrected by simply hiring the correct analysts for their audience—a task so easy that a child could do it.

Hey Albertans, whether you support independence or not, you should read this document.
Summary: Albertans would be far better off and pay less taxes as an independent nation.

Toronto police officers came to this woman’s house to speak to her about a post she made online about our Prime Minister Mark Carney. They let her know the next time she will be charged and taken to jail… meanwhile people in Toronto are urinating on public transit or in corners by storefronts.. not to mention the violence that is climbing.. but no worries.. money well spent, right?

@Martyupnorth Hi, Marty. I’m a proud Albertan, and like many others I’m sick of Ottawa’s corruption—so I wrote this song late last night about Alberta Independence. Thought I’d share with you. Hope you like it (and +18 only for the song 😉)
Canada said we don’t need or want Alberta
Canada said Alberta what you do and how you do it isn’t Canadian
Albertans agree we aren’t Canadian
I am an Albertan
Retweet if you Agree

I’m disappointed that ATA members have rejected the settlement offered, and that union leadership says teachers will likely go on strike October 6, less than one week away.
Students and families need to know we are supporting them during this time of uncertainty, so we released our plan today to provide payments directly to families and to support at-home student learning.
Alberta’s government has developed a responsible plan to support kids and keep them learning while paying parents back for unexpected education expenses.
Learn more about our new at-home learning toolkit, including an instructional video for students and parents, along with our parent payment program here: https://t.co/7rwiSwRQbs
It’s illegal under international law for NATO countries — including Canada — to landlock another nation.
If Alberta became its own country, it would be illegal for other provinces to block a pipeline from Alberta to tidewater.
BOOM!
