Honestly I'm not getting it. Why is it so special? Aren't there a million similar games out there? What does this one do different?
That said it did end up on my wishlist somehow.

There's a lot of westerners being paid to be shills for China's state media right now. Cyrus Jansen, et al.

Wearing a jersey that doesn't belong to one of the two teams playing is generally viewed as tool-like behaviour.  If it's from another sport altogether but matches the colours or city of one of the teams (IE wearing a red Stampeders shirt to a Flames game or wearing a Broncos jersey to a Nuggets game) that gets a pass.

"We are writing a rule for the ages." -- Neil Gorsuch

That one line encapsulates everything that has wrong with the Supreme Court, and how much the judicial right has betrayed its own supposed conservative principles.

They said they don't want activist judges that write laws.  No one said anything about rules.

At least the Rangers are putting me out my misery quickly.

Lawyer beaten and left in an alley, News at 11

See that's the last thing I'd worry about.  I've worn a Jets jersey to Rogers Place lots of time - when the Jets are the visiting team.  It's actually fun - never really been hassled, I'm definitely not the only one (lots of us Toban expats out in Alberta).

Just more wondering about wearing it when the Jets aren't even playing - but then again it's only a watch party to begin with.

It's only a match party, but it's an Oilers match party.

Get your Slayer jersey instead, you'll look badass in it.

I agree that is the most likely scenario.  The wildcard is that I doubt Carney would want to wait till the following election given his age and stage.  It would be much better for him if Trudeau stepped down now.  And we have already discussed the grumbling within the party that many want that to happen.

Obviously.

But does he have enough support to make it happen?

The Libs are this point because theu collectively failed.  Some might fear a purge.

I agree Squeeze.  Let's define anti-Semitism.
