Gotta give a shoutout to my pal and former colleague Edward Fraser for nailing the SC finalists in @TheHockeyNews 2022 Pool Guide. The predictions are from last summer. Give this man a raise @TheHockeyNews!
Now we know what Trump meant when he said he was tough on China.

A truck is not a speech. A horn is not a voice. An occupation is not a protest. A blockade is not freedom, it blocks the liberty of all. A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue. The expression of hatred is not a difference of opinion. A lie is not the truth.

Fox is portraying people opposed to the Canada protests as out-of-touch elites. In fact, poll after poll has shown that a strong majority of Canadians opposes the protests — and rejects both the protesters’ tactics and policy demands.
A look at the data: cnn.com/2022/02/15/politics/…
Some will claim the protests worked, which is fine if it expedites the end of the occupations and convoys. But anyone following closely knows we were already headed in this direction -- and that some restrictions may return. Explained very well here:
This story reminds me of the "All in the Family" episode when Archie is docked his Christmas bonus for sending a package to London, England instead of London, Ontario. @robreiner

This viral stuff is fiction.
Ottawa police say there have been 0 resignations.
The Canadian military hasn't made any dramatic statements.
The 50%-of-Ottawa-cops-quit claim came from a Facebook stream last night by convoy man Pat King, who has a history of ridiculous claims.

When ‘The Masked Singer’ revealed that Rudy Giuliani was one of the contestants, judges Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong walked off stage in protest. bit.ly/3L7vakI
I wonder how the Trump supporters and sympathizers at the Parliament Hill gathering feel about their guy's opposition to protests? Or at least how he felt in the moment, when it suited him.
In the past, Trump has suggested protests, even peaceful ones like @Kaepernick7’s, should be permitted & went so far as to encourage violence against protestors at his rallies. When someone tells you who they are…washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Today 250,000 Canadians of all ages & backgrounds will receive a COVID vaccine.
Tomorrow, the same thing will happen. And again on Monday.
The small but loud group of protesters on Parliament Hill are not the story of this pandemic - the bigger story is one of remarkable unity.
I think we should petition to get Blender Toss introduced as a new Olympic sport. Canada a shoo-in for gold.
