Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

  • They're riding high in the polls, so it makes strategic sense to get it done ASAP.

  • I think both things can be true to be honest.

  • It's a shame, but I can also understand why - council meetings and other open events are increasingly security risks, full of wingnut conspiracy theorists.

  • 30.5 Million Canadians watched the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, with Record-Breaking Digital Audiences

    Jump

  • Even though I mostly watched the main CBC feed, I really enjoy the Olympics being handled by the broadcast consortium.

    There was a small moment at the end of the hockey tournament where Elliotte Friedman turned to his fellow panelists and thanked them, acknowledging that they may never actually work together again, since they were a hodgepodge of Sportsnet people and TSN people, amongst others. Kind of a unique* thing.

    *okay, probably not unique, but somewhat unusual.

  • The Brits seemed to be in full control going into the ninth, and it was theirs to lose.

    And they did, with some critical errors that completely changed the momentum of the game.

  • PM Carney says Conservative MP Jeneroux crossing the floor to the Liberals

    Jump

  • I don't have a real issue with floor-crossing, since it's true to the principle that you're supposed to vote for the principle, not the party.

    But it's pretty tough to deny that that's simply not the way most people vote.

  • PM Carney says Conservative MP Jeneroux crossing the floor to the Liberals

    Jump

  • "Those conversations [with his family over the holidays] have been honest, difficult and deeply personal at times. But they also led me to reflect on the gravity of the moment that our country is living through — which our prime minister addressed head on in his speech at Davos. For Canada, this is a moment that demands steady leadership, constructive collaboration between all parliamentarians."

    "After further reflection with my family, and conversations with colleagues and constituents, I will be continuing to serve in Parliament — and I will be working with Prime Minister Mark Carney as a part of his new government to help build our country’s strength as we face the challenges ahead."

  • Apparently Canadians are notorius cheaters in the sport of Curling

    Jump

  • Having been the one to originally use the word "accident," I should probably amend that to "habitual." A bad habit that people generally don't call, that the Swedish team doesn't appreciate (and is technically correct about).

  • Apparently Canadians are notorius cheaters in the sport of Curling

    Jump

  • Check out the article I shared - many high-level curlers don't consider it an infraction at all, let alone a major one. Even Oskar Eriksson, who made the original accusation, doesn't seem to think it's exclusive to Team Canada:

    For us, it’s been a problem the last couple of years, so we think it’s good that everyone can play with the same rules. Hopefully it’s just getting better from this.”

    It's a dumb thing to do, though, and I'd be happy if people cleaned up their acts across the board.

  • Apparently Canadians are notorius cheaters in the sport of Curling

    Jump

  • Yeah, as the article I linked indicated, a lot of players simply don't consider it an infraction, and therefore don't give a damn whether they do it.

    And for probably the fifth time, I have no problem with the rule being enforced.

  • Apparently Canadians are notorius cheaters in the sport of Curling

    Jump

  • I would love to see someone go to a curling rink and demonstrate this this is remotely possible.

    There is no reason to be pointing a finger on release.

    I completely agree. There is absolutely no reason to do it, because there is no chance it will do anything.
