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.

though I suppose we all saw it coming as soon as Kent State hired a football coach named Mark Carney.
the Sickos Committee RTing Paris Marx is the level of "worlds colliding" in my social media feeds that I never thought I'd see ever.
Our Canadian hosts our Eurovision show and then Canada joins Eurovision. That's the Sickos Committee Bump, baybee.
get ready, europe: canada is coming to eurovision! lmao
TV market? that would add Fredericton since all 3 have the same stations.
i ate so much shloske as a kid.
mmmm my favorite mcdonald’s food, Dore, Caprer, and a side of Cchinges
still think the one thing that could possibly have stopped a Poilievre majority happened, and it didn't even happen in Canada.
It's still bonkers to think that less than a year ago the Liberals were dead in the water and Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives were headed towards the biggest electoral landslide in Canadian history.

Cut to today and Alberta Conservative MPs are rumoured to be defecting to the Liberal Party.
Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today.

If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means.

That's right.

Elizabeth May is Kingmaker.
there is some sort of Wu-Tang joke in here somewhere that I can't get to, at least without using that ferry (that has always been free).
A lot of people probably won't get how finely crafted this joke is and how many layers it has, applause to Jane
how much does Postmedia get in federal subsidies again?
This might be the most unhinged thing you read this morning about last night.
I'm sorry, I can't get past how they snuck a line into the budget on the possibility of getting Canada into Eurovision.
if someone talks about what the betting markets say about a candidate's chances of winning, I ignore everything else they have to say.
Obviously political misinformation is just the world we live in now but a relatively new one to me is online betting apps spreading misinformation because they want people to bet on political races and lose
saw someone put forth the idea that the bomb threats in Freddy today have to do with the elections in the US.

There were a bunch of other threats in New Jersey (which is voting for governor today) and some Russian bot may have gotten their New Brunswicks mixed up.
let's face it, Sportsnet+ jumped the shark when they took over the NHL package and then didn't allow access to both feeds of every game.

If they thought I'd pay $30/month for the privilege of listening to Jack Edwards call a Caps game, they were crazy.
this still explains everything.
well this explains everything.

The jays having one good inning and then spending three hours holding everyone hostage while they waste any and all goodwill is the energy Toronto brings to this nation, I just want Americans to know this

this is why I've been watching Fox.
dan and buck i love you with all my heart and soul and i understand you work for the team but i can take only so many minute long monologues of "these are the strongest and nicest and most resilient baseball players in all of baseball" before i go "k can we tone it down 5%"
90% of the world's problems come down to the fact that many people are selfish assholes.
the reality is that a minimum of 50% of republicans would be overjoyed to let 1/5 of the american population starve if it meant they’d pay $20 less on their annual taxes
If you want to know how it's going in Texas, a GOP county chair just said this.

This is not for a rural county, it's Fort Worth.
i still think of SNB as the old Zellers building. Zellers closed when I was....8?
did you know Rogers owns the Blue Jays? The Sportsnet broadcast hasn't made that very clear.
