The darkest parts are the Winnipeg offense.

The mushy middle is a tough place to hang out.

Also, it looks like these jets will be for operations like medevac and disaster relief, with VIP transport continuing to be gravely by the Airbus CC-330.

This article muddies that a bit by delving into the past controversies with the use of the Challengers as VIP transport.

That’s the vibe I’ve seen as someone who doesn’t really follow the Canucks - they were in the classic position of, “move him now and get something in return or let him walk for free later.”

It looks like the Global 6500 is a new/in-development plane, but it’s a business jet, which is one of the few things Bombardier seems to do well. Hopefully they won’t make a mess of it.

Okay, okay.

Suboptimal.

There may not be snow (snow by Halloween is neither unusual nor a given), but the temperatures should be comfortably around 0 - good enough to maintain the ice, and be comfortable for spectators.

That said, Winnipeg hit 16 degrees on October 25 this year, which is not ideal.

I agree, but also this was a 2700 km trip, as the crow flies.

On the Canadian side, it’s still technically up in the air, but you’ve got your sure-thing players like Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid.

But there are a lot of players who would love a spot - it’s a once-or-twice in a lifetime opportunity, so it’s a bit of a subplot around the league as players are hoping to impress their respective Olympic Committees.

It’s worth noting that it’s an Olympic year, which is always a nationalistic good time.

What are the chances that Alberta just agreed to an increased industrial carbon tax in exchange for a pipeline that never gets built?

Well, euthanizing 1/3 of the population would certainly help alleviate the housing crisis…

Agreed - it’s pretty unlikely that you’d be able to prove something like that.

I suppose you could try to apply precedents surrounding HIV disclosure, but I think it’d be a tough sell.

Edit: And to be clear, even in that situation, we’re talking about disclosure, not actual treatment-related choices.

Not a big shock - there have been allegations surrounding the guy for years.

It was certainly the case when I was in school, and that was decades ago.

I think that’s pretty universal, and it’s been the case for decades.

It’s the perfect crime! The feds create a problem with a solution that’s under provincial jurisdiction…

Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I’m definitely going to keep an eye on it!

I don’t really follow baseball at all, and haven’t watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.
