Good morning to Habs fans and Habs fans only 🌞

Has there been any substantial commentary from the bayesian libertarian types who were arguing that prediction markets would lead to a utopian epistemological paradise if implemented on how it's turned out in practice?

Locking in my prediction: Avi Lewis gets clobbered

American liberals love to Quebec bash because they don’t realize how chud coded that is in Canada.

This is Quebec bashing unfortunately

I’m pro this. Hard to imagine the turn towards radical politics present in some sections of Gen Z occurs without social media.

Do people really expect me to believe that crazy people on the TTC aren’t common? I do actually take the subway lmfao

Protesters call on MP Marilyn Gladu to speak out against Gaza crisis Community members gathered outside Marilyn Gladu’s Sarnia office to demand action on Gaza and call attention to the MP’s past statements and silence.

6) In 2019, she said that “Palestine does not have any documented rights,” described Palestinians as “squatting on [Israeli] land,” also stated that “the Jews are God’s people.” www.thesarniajournal.ca/news/protest...

I guess Carney has zero standards.
A list of Gladu's greatest hits:
1) opposing cannabis legalization, she read a poem in the House urging MPs to "keep our great country safe from all the weed."
2) in 2020, she suggested using the military to end pipeline protests...

Why Montreal isn't hosting the World Cup — and FIFA's strict conditions for Toronto, Vancouver | CBC News Thousands of documents obtained by Radio-Canada's investigative program Enquête shed light on why Montreal isn't among the host cities, how much the event will cost Canadian taxpayers — about $1 billi...

In light of all the things in Vancouver that are cancelled or curtailed this year in exchange for hosting the equivalent of, to quote the mayor, "30 or 40 Super Bowls", this story by our colleagues in Montreal is worth reading

THE ROOKIE WINS IT IN THE SHOOTOUT!!! 🤩

The winning streak is 8. The magic number is one single point to make the playoffs.

The Canadiens moved into a tie for second with Buffalo. The Sabres own the tie breaker on regulation wins.

Project Overview: Timeline 2019 - 2022: Environmental Assessment (EA) Study • Recommended design concept • Public consultation and Report to Council 2022 - 2024: Data Collection • Data collection • Develop design scope 2024 - 2028: Design • Preliminary and detailed design • Operational Plan • Public consultation and Report to Council 2030+: Construction* • Tender & construction • Field ambassador *Pending design process and Ontario Line Queen Station construction.

Fastest Toronto project timeline:

Let’s do 15 years of consultations and studies to throw out the one thing that time and time again residents asked for. Hilarious and a great encapsulation of the “City of Toronto.” You will never get a pedestrianized street, but you will get millions spent in the process to not get there.

Is it going to be like this all season?

The Habs 1st line of Cole Caufield - Nick Suzuki - Juraj Slafkovsky during the 7 game winning streak:

• On the ice for 11 even-strength goals scored

• On the ice for 0 even-strength goals against

Think how many raccoons you could stomp to death with that money!

Sublime one-touch pass from Juraj Slafkovsky to Cole Caufield, and that's 48 on the year for The Cock.

2-0 #Habs

Unpleasantly common irl interaction

Student debt grievance is a bit weird to me. I know the US has some schools that are insanely expensive, but I think they also have ones that cost normal amounts? So are the student debt types all grads from expensive private universities? Fairly unsympathetic if so.

Taylor Lorenz on Twitter: “As for social media 'addiction' there literally is no such thing. No diagnosis for that. Social media is not remotely the same as alcohol, nicotine, or heroin. There is no such thing as 'dopamine hits' which is merely pseudo-science sounding garnish on a load of served-up crap"
