TIL, the Blu Jays foundation gave 120k$ to my home city for a new baseball field.
Damn, I'd never have thought about that.  Some creative people in my city

There are minor baseball leagues as well as amateur leagues and some ad-hoc softball gaming too (people gather at a predetermined time, teams are assembled on the spot).  It's also used by the schools.

Yeah, that's pretty cool. Must really suck to only have 1 field. Laval must have ~30 & the scheduling is insane.

This is parody, right?

[Sheilbh]

If only:

Anthony Scaramucci
@Scaramucci
Truly an honor to introduce and welcome former President @BillClinton and former Prime Minister Tony Blair to @CryptoBahamas to cap off an incredible Day 3.

I figure most people here would agree that Schroeder has disgraced himself far more than those two, but you've asked the question in a way that those two are the only possible answer.

Schroeder's also a third way leader. He's the other big example of those leaders/generation and probably the worst.

Although the modern leader who's most obviously taken inspiration from them is Renzi who is spending his career after being PM giving speeches praising Saudi as the home of the "neo-renaissance" so, give it time
