The idea that corporate owners (read: MLSE) don't care about winning because they're already profitable does not stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever. There is SO MUCH more money to be made owning a winning team compared to a losing one. Ticket prices, TV revenue, merchandise sales, and the ability to attract marquee players to sell even more tickets and merchandise.

A team that goes to the Stanley Cup final can potentially play up to 16 additional home games, almost 40% more than a non-playoff team.

Year over year over year the Leafs have amongst the highest payrolls in the NHL - which is not something you would do if you are concerned strictly with the bottom line.

Just got back from a work trip. My hotel room mini-bar literally had multiple bottles of alcohol with a big "Drink me! I'm free!" ribbon on them. A year ago I would have chugged them immediately and then tried to figure out how to hide the boozy breath smell from my colleagues. I didn't even give them a second thought this year. IWNDWYT.

I think the equipment Shu confiscated was from the fraudster company.

Bitter, angry, jaded Leafs fan here. Let's go Oilers.

One suggestion - leave your health challenges out of this. If you are not being granted appropriate academic credit for the work you have done, laser focus on that aspect. The University will take this seriously. Lumping in the impact this may have had on your health detracts from your core argument.

Totally. Norway this isn't a scam.

I have had many many great nights at this place and am sad to see it go.

Not to mention Martin Streak/102.1's live to air Saturday nights on the radio that many of us old people might remember.

They can't charge it, which makes the fact that they stole an expensive ebike even stupider and more infuriating to honest people.

Jamie xx has finally announced his highly anticipated second solo album. In Waves arrives September 20 via, Young, and boasts guest features from a variety of artists, including Robyn, Panda Bear, Kelsey Lu, the Avalanches, xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim, and more. The DJ and producer’s upcoming LP also features the new single “Treat Each Other Right,” released today alongside a music video made in collaboration with photographer and filmmaker Rosie Marks and featuring a neon-streaked wedding party gone awry. Check out the video below.

I mean these Cherry beach parties have literally been happening for decades. Surely the cops know exactly what's causing a noise complaint coming from that area?

Part of me wants to say that "lying" isn't the right word here. The cops clearly just accepted that the father's description was accurate, which it was not. But the cops surely also appreciate that every minute of the encampment protest is being filmed by protesters, and the police have surveillance equipment themselves. They couldn't spend 10 minutes investigating?

Yeah the overlap between what real estate listings call 'Moss Park' vs. 'St Lawrence' can be big. The area surrounding St James Park (south of Richmond) can be labelled part of Moss Park and is lovely.

Just walked by the site - this is definitely the wildest streetcar crash I've ever seen. I am dying to see the accident reconstruction of this. This definitely happened at high speed.

Car trying to turn left onto Frederick north of King cuts into the path of the westbound King car?

I'm always curious how these traffic stops go so badly when they've got a car full of contraband. These geniuses can't lie their way through a traffic stop?

And municipal taxes are paid by everyone, whereas this proposal is only targeting people who take public transit. I'd be much happier seeing folks who don't need public transit paying more.

Tell him you went to a Blue Jays game, presuming there's a home game that overlaps. Mention all of the new renovations to the Rogers Centre.

Do not taunt Ballie.

"The rules of the road don't apply to me"

But they don't have zero leverage. They are currently occupying a space that the University is contemplating using the police to forcibly clear. That's the definition of leverage.

No. People experiencing mental health challenges are not exempt from noise bylaws or condo rules about disturbing neighbours.
