It’s not too difficult. Each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer’s right, who gets seven.

Even a broken clock…

ohhhh now i get it

There are probably a lot of lessons that could be learned from Portage & Main.

For the vast majority of the city’s population, it was a place to pass through, not a place to exist, and it was absurd to have a city-wide referendum on it (I’m against referendums in general, but that’s another discussion). Regional polling consistently showed that the people who actually live in the area supported re-opening the intersection to pedestrians.

The fears surrounding re-opening the intersection were stoked by former mayor Sam Katz for years, in the interest of cheap political points.

Sprinkle in some NIMBY businesses in the concourse below the interesection, and you have a recipe for inaction. Things only changed when they received a $74 million estimate to maintain the underground concourse.

I think it was probably an accident (I believe Global has since pulled it?), but a happy one.

Incumbent offensive coordinator Jason Hogan is being retained as Winnipeg’s running backs coach, a role he previously held from 2022 to 2024.

Awkward…

I’m not super comfortable with a lot of what he’s saying, but it would be pretty tough to make the case that “not enough action” isn’t an accurate statement.

According to new data released from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the country will fall well short of its 2030 climate goal — just halfway to its target of a 40 to 45 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels.

I’m deeply skeptical that his approach is going to do any better, but I support the idea of boosting investment in clean(er) alternatives. And he did get Alberta to agree to increase their industrial carbon price.

Also, it looks like these jets will be for operations like medevac and disaster relief, with VIP transport continuing to be gravely by the Airbus CC-330.

This article muddies that a bit by delving into the past controversies with the use of the Challengers as VIP transport.

It looks like the Global 6500 is a new/in-development plane, but it’s a business jet, which is one of the few things Bombardier seems to do well. Hopefully they won’t make a mess of it.

I agree, but also this was a 2700 km trip, as the crow flies.

The boos came later when she asked if they were more comfortable in Canada than they were a few days ago.

And the pipeline deal is why she was asking, so what’s the difference, exactly?

What are the chances that Alberta just agreed to an increased industrial carbon tax in exchange for a pipeline that never gets built?

Well, euthanizing 1/3 of the population would certainly help alleviate the housing crisis…

Congratulations to the Riders - this team deserved it, and their fanbase certainly does.

This was a very entertaining game, lots of fun to watch. The Riders were the better team for the vast majority - nearly flawless, outside of a handful of penalties.

The Als brought the fight, and even after Alexander re-aggravated his hamstring injury, there was still a sense that they could pull something off.

That is so 90s it hurts.

Yeah, it’s a difficult topic, but I think it’s important to re-examine it from time to time.

Agreed - it’s pretty unlikely that you’d be able to prove something like that.

I suppose you could try to apply precedents surrounding HIV disclosure, but I think it’d be a tough sell.

Edit: And to be clear, even in that situation, we’re talking about disclosure, not actual treatment-related choices.

Are the Als still at McGill

They are indeed!

is their ownership situation stable

As far as I know, but it’s not exactly my neighborhood.

what kind of weird run did they go on to make the Grey Cup at barely over .500?

When their starting QB is healthy, they’re possibly the best team in the league. For a lot of the season…he was not healthy.

All that said, there’s no doubt a degree of disappointment in the Bombers failure to make it to a hometown Grey Cup, which was undoubtedly imagined locally as a coronation for one of the greatest eras of Bomber football there’s ever been.

“Coronation” is an overstatement, but there were certainly high expectations.

TSN reported Monday that the Argos have received permission to speak to O’Shea and those conversations have begun.

Mmhmm…

The commissioner’s annual state-of-the-league address is always a barometer of sorts about where the league sits and where it is going. Johnston’s first time at the podium this week will be closely studied for clues about what may be on the way.

I look forward to The Discourse.

The Als do seem like they might have momentum on their side (Alexander’s injury notwithstanding). The Riders…maybe it’s wishful thinking, but it seems like they might have peaked a little early?
