  1. Take it for what it's worth, but it's expected that Boeser will sit Game 7.
  2. I'm just glad the fucking zebras actually finally called McFuckface for his Tim "Dr. Hook" McCracken antics.
  3. Not to mention - as is the M.O. appears to be from that poster - the burial industry is regulated under Provincial jurisdiction and not federal, as the poster would have us believe. Those Ontarians and Quebeckers and Albertans (oh my!) really should have a talk with their right-of-centre provincial governments.
  4. Canucks win 6-4, Podkolzin GWG, assists to Silovs, Irbe, and Skriko.
  5. The drawback of that approach though is that due to the sudden slowing down of information transmission (flawed and tinted - and in some cases, perverted or intentionally mis-told - as it was), people would also be overly insulated and presumably ignorant about the current happenings of the world (bad or negative as they were). We'd be less inclined to make decisions that would benefit society and other members of our species, because perspective would be both narrowed to only what we can see, hear, or encounter locally, and those decisions we'd make would be poorly informed due to the lack of bigger-picture details. I think what's missing (or what's being lost over time) is the ability to discern between fact and opinion, and the ability to separate objective from bias. Critical thinking is perhaps what's becoming lacking as time goes on, and I'm not sure that removing the primary conduits of information transmission would necessarily fix that.
  6. Problem is, a lot of people view the NDP as one step removed from communism.
  7. Which puts them in the 3rd category - inexpensive abundant expertise. You're kind of right though, I should have qualified the statement with an additional word: the former two are historically the domain of plunderers/colonialism.
  8. I think the reports that came out was that it was his knee, the same one that had issues, but it was a "different" issue this time. Whatever that means.
  9. Not gonna happen, man. The NHLOA would raise a hissy fit if you were to reduce the on-ice officiating by 25% and have their members correspondingly reduced in number on the active roster (owing to lack of officiating spots to be filled for games). If anything, they'd be pushing for four linesmen and three refs. Because membership counts. $$$
  10. The other part of that equation (at least from my layman/non-expert perspective) is the point @Boudrias made about capital leaving. Capital is likely to get invested when one or more of three things exist: inexpensive abundant resources, inexpensive abundant labour, or inexpensive abundant expertise. The former two are the domain of plunderers/colonialism, while the latter can sometimes be a bit of a unicorn. Not really sure I have a point to make here, but just my observation by the untrained eye.
  11. You actually sound supportive of the NDP in this post! Who are you and what have you done to Jimmy?!
  12. Some bedtime reading, should you feel so inclined... https://time.com/5175704/andrew-wakefield-vaccine-autism/
