Collective goal differential of the top-3 teams in each division (by points %):
Central: +170
Atlantic: +98
Metro: +68
...
Pacific: -26 (MINUS twenty six)
The Pacific is not a real division and I am thankful my team plays in it 🙏
Nicolas Cage's Wickerman becomes a comedy with the right mindset.
make stuff.
make stuff that's ugly and imperfect and messy.
make stuff that will never in a million years sell.
make stuff that's just for you.
make stuff that has been done a million times before but do it in your way, and who gives a fuck if someone else did it better?
just make stuff.
I tried combining the #Oilers and #Canucks rosters to make the best cap compliant team possible. The results:
"Pluralists should avoid treating these votes as a normal exercise in democracy... It is a referendum on an approach to governance — a way to manufacture legitimacy while dodging the institutions that test ideas, protect rights and force compromise."

Next headline:
Premier announces funding for Loch Ness Monster taskforce after hearing that Nessie has taken up residence in Sylvan Lake.
As of now, using points %, Oil are currently a hair outside of a playoff spot.
ANA .589
VGK .581
SEA .549
Wild Card:
UTA .565
SJS .542
EDM .540
LA .525
Mike Grier might be the only thing that stops the #Sharks from overtaking the #Oilers the next few years. God bless him.
Her party already screwed up the last daylight savings referendum. Very frustrating.
To honor those Dutch paintings we have lost... we pin a tulip to our jackets... on this, Rembrandt Day.
"Look at how horrible our provincial budget is with record-breaking resource revenues. We need to give this provincial government control over everything to fix things."
Have a wonderful Friday, everyone ❤️
Around 50 seconds in, it sounds like someone says "close the northern border." I hate this timeline.
None of Smith's referendum questions are likely to result in actual policy change.
Because they require constitutional amendments (federal veto) or are plainly unconstitutional.
Assuming "yes" votes carry, what then?
Kenney's equalization referendum didn't soothe separatists. It emboldened them.
To prebunk what we can expect to hear tomorrow:
🔴 Immigrants pay provincial taxes.
🔴 Many non-immigrants don't.
Cutting off immigrants' access to public services isn't about protecting taxpayers.
It's about picking and choosing who is worthy of healthcare and education.
Marner, Suzuki and McDavid. Pretty iconic for 3 of Canada's heroes to be from Canada's 3 biggest NHL clubs 👀

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

These are not smart people.
1) Independence makes you *more* dependent on federal policy, since they get to decide whether or not you can access TMX. Forget about ever building another pipeline west.
2) You need the goods (food, etc.) that cross "our land". Blocking their passage is self-injury.
Hug your people tonight.
A neat follow up article idea would be, which NHL team could make the strongest starting lineup with their non-Olympic leftovers 🤔
If Josh Samanski centers a line with Dominik Kahun and Tobias Reider, that automatically becomes Germany's #Oilers Legends line right? Right??
Trying to rehab his reputation after ushering in the alt right clowns that are governing Alberta now.
Idk, the threat of China terminating the Stanley Cup seems like a rational argument from a sane and balanced individual.
In October, if you told me 2/3rds into the season that Ottawa would be just behind TOR, EDM and FLA in the standings, I would've been happy for Sens fans.
If you would've told me that the 5 teams right ahead of THEM would be NYI, CBJ, SEA, ANA and UTA, I would've been terrified for everyone.
In terms of points %, the 5th best team in the NHL (the #Wild) currently has only 1 more regulation win than the 5th worst team in the league (the #Jets).
Bettman points are alive and well.
This is a monumentally irresponsible move. Whoever advised the premier should resign or be fired.
Smith shouldn't just withdraw the threat. She should apologize for threatening to cut off Albertans' access to their own justice system.
Tomorrow.

More buyout money than Ken Holland was responsible for (don't fact check that)
The only conclusion you could reasonably make from Danielle Smith’s governance is that she actively wants to destroy Alberta.
