Mark Carney, a good Canadian boy goalie. Canadian debate: underscored the sensibility that drummers and goalies are all kinda different in their own way. Goalies are more invested in saves than scoring points. They know the best offense starts with a solid defense. It’s the way winners win.

I hope everyone realizes that the GOP refuses to negotiate because they do NOT want to to supplement healthcare costs anymore. If you have a catastrophic health crisis they want you to open a GoFundMe. They said it, I heard them.

Buckingham Palace has announced that it is removing all remaining styles, titles and honours of Prince Andrew:

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."

He is also being evicted from his accommodation at Royal Lodge.

Correct action, but it should never have taken this long.

Trump shakes Xi’s hand for 27 seconds and reduces tariffs (taxes on Americans) from 57% to 47% in exchange for China “promising to work hard on fentanyl,” & reverting their limits on rare earths to where they were before a Trump screwed everything up.
In other words the meeting was a flop. #cdnpoli
