It’s funny listening to players talk politics…it’s funny.
Time line:
Player makes a decision to disrespect the flag and anthem. Drags along a small amount of players.
Angers people during a political year. Ratings drop, but blamed on election.
Protests continue during the new season. Angers more people and ratings continue falling.
Politician does polling. Calls them sons of bitches for disrespect.
World erupts. Polling holds up, politician benefits.
Smoother politician makes a point.
Ratings drop a bunch, pocketbooks hurt.
League hoists white flag.
The high-school politicians went up against the pros and are getting their asses handed to them 99-0. #Winning.

If Junior’s ship of fools were smart, they would enlist his aid instead of fretting about conflicting schedules.

‘The war on coal is over’: Environmental Protection Agency to repeal Clean Power Plan
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt told coal miners in Kentucky on Monday that he will move to repeal a rule limiting greenhouse-gas emissions from existing power plants, assuring them, “The war against coal is over.”
Meanwhile in Canada….
See, Putin is European.
The crushing hand of the state is as European as it gets. Spain ready to arrest Catalan president if he declares independence, sources say
Well, that makes me feel so good.
NATO is there to protect Canada if North Korea poses a threat
Toronto and Vancouver would be french-fried by the time NATO rolled out of bed.
Racists, Haters
Nenshi, feeling the heat, drops the race card on the same citizens that voted for him twice, the last time with 74%.
So it’s obviously racism as opposed to performance and property taxes….
The Katrina-ization of Trump hits a road block.
“We filtered out the mayor a long time ago. We don’t have time for the political noise,” Long said. “The bottom line is, is that we are making progress every day in conjunction with the governor.”

The Liberal attack on small business
A recent tax “folio” by the CRA indicates employee discounts on items like shoes and lunches would now be considered taxable benefits, and therefore part of their income.
Nothing like forcing more small business owners to account for every small benefit their employees take advantage of, cause lo-behold you get caught not accounting for it.
Which, as Bonokoski points out, means they will be eliminated.

Q. How many conversations over the Thanksgiving table will involve politics?

Fortunately, the Liberals have released their talking points for the true believers:

The Vain And Malevolent Left, Part 376
According to Canadian professors Sal Renshaw and Renee Valiquette, being dishonest about course content, and about the subsequent likelihood of getting a job, is “a pathway to social justice education” and therefore, they insist, “the ruse is justified.” The lecturers in question admit that for many students “social justice” claptrap has a poor reputation and is actively avoided, which prompts the professors to sidestep that reputational challenge by simply lying to students about what it is they’re paying for.
