    Canada Post pauses deliveries in 2 blocks of Downtown Eastside due to 'health and safety concerns'

    Canada Post stopped delivering to our apartment building for a week because there was a puddle of water in the mail room. The mail carriers are lazy ass pussies and it doesn't take much for them to stop service. I am surprised they deliver at all to some 'downtown' neighbourhoods in any major city.

    Personally, I have never understood the effectiveness of hunger strikes. If you wait long enough the protester either abandons it or dies. Either way your problem is solved.

    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    TTC still runs trollys (streetcars) in Toronto. They had an electric bus in the 80s and 90s too. Ran up and down bay street. It had 2 wires above and ran on rubber wheels like a regular bus (no tracks). It never went beyond one or 2 routes and was killed in early y2k. They also have some...

    The "Fair Catch" is the NFL answer. I do think works pretty well.

    I hope they don't do no yards. It's a horrible concept and usually mangled by the officials. I like the NFL punting rules better.

    It's rare than the single point in the NFL (which is actually possible).

    I think the Riders are the better team. But they are also theoretically the home team as the western representative. In the NFL being home team with all else being equal is usually good for a 3 point favourite. CFL likely similar. So the real odds are just SK by 0.5.

    Defund CBC

    Yes, and CTV regains that expense and more by selling advertising time on the show when they air it on CTV. They don't get that money from Joe Taxpayer.

    I don't see why Eurovision requires taxpayer money. If it is so good, it should be paid for by advertizing.

    Hardy Cup

    Hamilton is closer to Toronto than Saskatoon is to Regina. This breeds rivalry. The issue would be the drain from the Roughriders on the other 9 home games without fans from Saskatoon to draw on. Also a new CFL franchise needs to be in the east to balance out the teams and avoid this crossover...

    They are getting the trailing edge now. I think I heard somewhere that that is worse than the leading edge.

    There is nothing about that monstrosity that looks right regardless what it is doing.

    I would hope they learned from the Argos mistake of 2023 when they clinched early and rested everybody and with last week bye and bye into final made them very very very rusty and they lost.

    If Winnipeg loses, they are the crossover. They have 1 less win than Calgary or BC. The only way Calgary would crossover is if Calgary winds up third team in a 3 way tie (BC loss + Calgary loss + Winnipeg win). Hamilton has tiebreaker over Montreal. They beat them twice. If Hamilton wins...

    Winnipeg is not guaranteed crossover. They own tiebeaker over BC. If BC loses and Winnipeg and Calgary wins, BC is crossover. If Calgary and BC lose and Winnipeg wins, not sure how 3 way tie scenario works in CFL. If BC wins, BC hosts Calgary in final regardless what Calgary or Winnipeg do. If...

    Looks like Winnipeg will be the crossover. No crossover has ever won the east. Saskatchewan came close in 2017.
