I am going to repeat this pt many times because it is VERY important. Bell took 122 million in pandemic relief that wasn’t designed for them (meant more for small businesses). They then paid dividends to shareholders and then got rid of a massive amnt of jobs. Cruel company.

Oilers are down 1-0 and Kelly Sutherland gets the call. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. He is the NHL’s Scott Foster (the league’s ref). League wants McDavid to win and I would bet anything oilers get a lot of calls tonight.

Kuzmenko deserves smoke. He is required to be more than a player. Part of being a Canuck is taking forth important BC values. I take pride in being from BC because it’s an area that champions equality more than most of world (look at race of our pop). It’s 1 of most imp values.
