I still much prefer the way NFL determines playoff teams.
There is a set of criteria as to who gets in.
They don't gather together in some boardroom and pick playoff teams.
"Yeah, the AFC North champion sucks. Let's just replace them with the Chiefs"

Have some holiday cheer - my video of the CPKC Holiday Train passing through Leaside this evening.
As this train raises donations for food banks, I will be donating all earnings from this video as of Christmas Day to a local food bank.

I scanned for any mention of vaccines and nope… no masking, no vaccines, just “be clean” and hope for the best.

It's a bit weird that Canadians are all like 'elbows up, screw the US' but Canadian retailers are still hitching their wagons to a US holiday that has no relevance to Canada

bingo... what's more American than shooting someone?
The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Doug Ford has blood on his hands after only 13 days
Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.
