You can’t argue with Jim Hiller’s assessment. You can’t keep giving the puck away. @MapleLeafs coughed up 18 pucks. Yes, McKenna had 4. But so did Matthews and Sissons vs @CanadiensMTL. Vets getting off easier than the rookie?!

Some sobering analysis from @TheEconomist on Trump’s final years in office. “it is…possible that his impetuous nature will put the world at risk in a crisis, a black swan that tests a president’s wisdom and patience. 1/2”

2/2 “Consider an AI-enabled cyber crisis or a Chinese blockade of Taiwan, or something worse. For two years, the world will be holding its breath.”

So far, chemistry in game one for the @MapleLeafs is interesting. A little loose on the ice but pretty good in the #BowensBooth between @ToddCrocker and @Jim_Ralph!

Wonder if @POTUS sees any irony in acting as a champion for Balogun, who only is eligible to play for the U.S. because of birthright citizenship. He was born in Brooklyn, and not Britain where he was raised, because his mother gave birth to him prematurely while visiting the U.S. He's surely an asset to America right now!
Trump on Balogun: "I saw the play, and I'm a person that loves sports ... that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction ... this referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past. He made a call that nobody could believe ... he's our best player, or one of our best players. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant ... yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."

He weaponized SCOTUS and has monetized the White House. The end of the American Century.

Somebody got slapped.
NEW: Education Minister Paul Calandra is clarifying his comments on student absences after advising parents to "keep them in school" “As part of the new absenteeism policy, which is intended to stop students from skipping out on school, parents will continue to have the ability to request that their child be excused from school for activities that are part of a well-rounded education, including sports, music, debate and other school-organized activities.” Here's what the minister said yesterday: #onpoli #onted

For all the angst and handwringing over the CBC losing NHL hockey, the CBC reports “HNIC viewership on CBC had reached a 12-year low this past season, down 70 per cent from 2014, while the audience on Sportsnet's platforms has doubled in that time.”
