Why does every platform think I want a 2025 review? I want a 2025 brain scrub.

The #oilers goaltending duo, for the foreseeable future, will be Calvin Pickard and Connor Ingram (AHL). A lot of people don't think this will turn out very well. The Christmas roster freeze is from today until the 27th so not much more they can do.
The Oilers IR room is getting a little crowded.

This plus the data centres that Dani announced. Where's the water?
"The world’s largest carbon capture and storage complex planned for northern Alberta could use most of the surplus water in the giant Cold Lake-Beaver River basin, potentially forcing water rationing in the province. "

“These threats to our communities are highly concerning on their own; however, our concerns are intensified by the absence of any real regulatory review of these areas. We cannot be expected to live on top of this carbon storage project forever without a fair regulatory assessment.”

Seems to be the first case of a felony conviction against a US judge for supposedly obstructing ICE.
I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case.
The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant.
Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.

They need to stop allowing directors to incorporate a new thing if they leave behind debts and environmental problems. It's a routine business plan now. Pump and dump.

TAPPER: Earlier today - this isn't the first time - Trump appeared to be struggling to keep eyes open. Does that worry you?
REINER: It's jarring to see him go from basically asleep in the Oval to this rapid fire pace during a 30-minute speech he gave in 18. There's been a lot of health issues.

Heartbreakingly, despite our best efforts, today the Government of Alberta was able to bring an end to the injunction against Bill 26 on the basis of its use of the notwithstanding clause.
This is a cruel and dangerous move by a government that will harm vulnerable young people.

Canada has the authority to enforce environmental laws, yet is choosing not to as climate targets fade into the distance.
Former environment minister Steven Guilbeault says it's time for the federal government to tell provinces: "Actually, you can't break the law."
