some people know me as the @506sports.bsky.social guy. Others know me as the @electionatlasca.bsky.social guy. Others just know me as the guy who walks around downtown Fredericton rocking jerseys and Jordans all the time.

reminded that the NDP once held this riding, and Gunn only got in because enough low-info NDPers switched to the Liberals that they split the vote.

I tried once and it wouldn't even play. Might have been cause I had an ad blocker.

what? you think trying to out-charisma Trudeau with no real policies isn't working?

I for one can't wait for all the European tourists coming to see the World Cup matches in a city that has literally zero public transit.

when I was in Cayman last week I realized I forgot to pay my power bill for the month. Tried to go on the NBP site and it was geo-blocked.

it seems all 4 Atlantic provinces now or in the recent past elected PC governments thinking "oh, they're not *those* type of conservatives", only to find out they actually are.

Carney says Canada will 'stand by our allies when it makes sense' in Middle East conflict | CBC

the only thing stopping Carney from getting the full Keir Starmer treatment from the left is the utter incompetence of the NDP and Greens.

Ben Mulroney didn't even do a good job trying to be the Canadian Ryan Seacrest.

This is so bad.

Support independent journalists, folks. They're all that's left.

on vacation in the Cayman Islands this week. Went into a grocery store and saw apple and pumpkin pies are CI$9.49 each.

Must be the pie rates of the Caribbean.

The last US presidential election took place at the same time as provincial elections in BC and NB. All 3 had debates the same week. Guess which the only one CBC news network showed nationally was.

My 2030 platform:
a tram on Regent St
a summer ferry to the northside
a music venue that actually schedules hip hop shows
Convert all houses in the city into 4 unit apartments by force

at one point this was damn close to a Caps playoff special. Outplay them, outshoot them by a 3-to-1 margin, lose 2-1.

betweeen this and the Panthers, it's time we just admit that hoping for good things coming out of hockey is a lost cause.

score more goals than the Americans and they should be fine.

everything I have learned about any term ending in "-maxxing" or "-mogging" has been against my will.

Just think, this will never happen again if China bans our ice hockey.

I'm not sure, but I think Steven Dubois misses his dog Charlie.

this has annoyed the hell out of me for years. Especially that one time in the 90s (Barcelona?) CTV had the Olympics and they used it as their theme music.

at this point I'd settle for anyone who isn't a boomer white guy from the suburbs.

with the NHLers back, Canada is back to treating the entire Winter Olympics as a glorified hockey tournament. #othersportsexist

....so the first event Canada won gold at these games was in telling people to fuck off?

I’m kinda ashamed to admit how old I was when realized garlic fingers weren’t a thing outside the maritimes.

this ends with the NFL getting some country singer next year, right?
