There needs to be some protocol real quick on making a “no drone zone” when emergency response is happening. Some day a life will be lost (arguably that already happened as a result of a fire that still burns because of taking this plane out of service).

I can just see the GQP strategy meeting:
Anderson: “What say that I pose with kids who aren’t mine.”
Strategist: “It’s an old trick… but it just might work!

As long as Skippy (facing the dread already) doesn’t interfere with StatsCan like President Steve did.

Biggest Russian goalie pull since Myshkin for Tretiak in the 1980 olympics.

I disagree. A monopoly has no market forces but plenty of profit motive.

When McDavid starts to advance in the neutral zone then circles back to his own slot then calmly carries the puck to the other team’s end reminds me of Kharlamov back in ‘72.

A sad day as the second-best hockey announcer ever (after Foster Hewitt), the beloved Bob Cole has passed away.
: (
My favourite Cole-ism, apart from estimating shots with incredible accuracy (“Gilmour finds the corner from 48 feet out”) was, after another fake injury by Claude Lemieux: “He spends more time on the ice than the Zamboni!”
Honourable mention for a particularly busy goalie: “He’s seeing more rubber than the Michelin Man!”

In 1986 she ran for the BC Social Credit Crooked party leadership (the one that Bill Vander Zalm won). She lost on the first ballot.
Her convention speech, though, had a remarkable line, directed at Vander Sham but seems to apply to a lot of rabid right leaders before and after:
'It is fashionable to speak of political leaders in terms of their charisma. But charisma without substance is a dangerous thing. It creates expectations that cannot be satisfied. Then comes bitterness and disillusionment that destroy not only the leader but the party.'
Epilogue:
Within five years of Vander Sham’s 1986 election victory, he resigned after a set of scandals. In the subsequent BC election with a new leader, Social Credit, which had run BC for all but three years between 1952 and 1991, was reduced to a rump of 7 seats and never won a seat after that.

On a drug plan, he invited people to go to Toronto, someplaceelse, and … Moscow to fill their prescriptions at 40% cost.

She crossed over in an era when shock therapy and brain modification surgery was being done to “cure” us.
So not only courage but good judgment and maybe a bit of good fortune in finding Dr. Christian Hamburger, rather than, say, some M.Deity from Johns Hopkins.

Next change to ban the rainbow colours will be in physics class, where the seven prism colours will be relabeled as different shades of white.
