110% this. Compared to the shit that goes down in Junior A hockey arenas, this wasn’t even that ugly. 

We’re not good people. Canadian politeness is actually just passive aggressiveness, which is really just aggressive aggressiveness we’re waiting to take out on someone we deem “not nice enough.” 

I was at The Boat in Toronto in, maybe 2008, and the DJ dropped “Northern Touch.” As happens, everyone started yelling and stampeding the dance floor and grabbing and shaking each other. In the middle of the dancefloor was one American girl, who had been sent to Toronto for a few weeks to train at my work, who looked…

This is why she needs to run as early as she legally can.

Dude, YOU’VE BEEN IN CHARGE. YOU’VE BEEN IN CHARGE SINCE THE FUCKING ‘80S! It got you the War on Drugs, the modern carceral state, brutal welfare reform that put families on the street, the biggest economic meltdown since the 1930s, the current urban housing crisis, two wars in Iraq, busted unions, six years of Obama…

What strategies are those? Always fighting on the terms dictated by your opponent, tying one hand behind your back and begging a bunch of amoral dicks to like you? That’s what Democratic mainstream has been doing for 40 years and now we’re here.

I just Googled. They’re all in Southern Ontario. There’s one near Rattlesnake Point (why not just camp there?), one near Cookstown (if you really want to get to the outlet mall first thing?), one near Barrie (trash), and one in Niagara Falls (basically just the US.)

Oh without question that is what happened. 

Also, 10 years for insurance fraud is FUCKING INSANE.

The rest of Canada wants Toronto to fall into a hole. Raptors fandom stops about an hour outside city limits, for the most part. Also, most of the rest of Canada doesn’t care about basketball, and if they do, they’re fans of American teams. (Boston, Lakers, Pistons all have big fanbases.)

Russia.

Corrections Officers are almost certainly worse than cops. They’re fail cops. I’ve heard from a few cops that no one wants to work with ex-COs, because they’re all nuts and super horny to fuck someone up. And that’s coming from cops. 

The Finns have everyone in public schools. 

Then they’re idiots. 

I come from a place that has a long history of voting for/as idiots. I empathize. 

Bam. This is it. 

The people who have been doing it for years have been fucking up and getting their asses handed to them for years.

Can cities in California enact rent control or rent stabilization laws?

You know who the Raptors need? Nazem Kadri as the third point guard. Magic get too cute? Go Kadri on ‘em. He’s available.

Aren’t most of the white guys in the NBA from the Balkans at this point?
