Every time I read that statement it makes me angry for a different reason. I know this shouldn't be what bothers me but I hate his belief that Canadians would elect someone as monstrously unqualified to run any level of government just because they're famous like Americans do.

And there's the CBC again trying to make Trumper's and their counterparts up here seem "reasonable"

annedf.bsky.social•91 days ago

And it's "Trumpers" not "Trumper's' I need an edit button. Trumpers and MAGA have made me loathe errors like this one.

Inexcusable. That bloody arrogant Ian Hanomansing is a piece of work.

annedf.bsky.social•91 days ago

They are the last 100% Canadian owned media outlet and should act like it. Trying to compete with the American RW outlets Harper allowed in here is the must UNCanadian thing they could do. Stay the course.

If this kind of programming continues, we demand that Ian Hanomansing be removed from his position at CBC. We expect our public broadcaster to defend Canada’s interests, not pander to American perspectives.

Sign this petition to demand accountability from CBC!

Gretzky whined to the clown. For 🤡 to post a half assed message re 🇨🇦 not being happy with him. What? He can’t use his own voice? Is he mute? He had no problem wearing a MAGA hat and celebrating the 🤡 at Mar-A-Lago and inauguration. Great and proud Canadian my ass. Him, Subban and O’Leary 🙄

He's dead to me.

ricekins.bsky.social•91 days ago

Give him some wine and his lips'll loosen...🍷🫧

Is it me, or does he look creepy now?

jacktodd.bsky.social•91 days ago

Very.

moeman61.bsky.social•91 days ago

His American wife looks even creepier. Her choice to get that work done on her but one would think she could afford better surgeries.

Just another dumb hockey player.

I’m trying to think of one that has used their position and influence to be a genuine role model and take a risk to stand up for the greater good or the little guy, beyond the staged Chidren’s Hospital visit PR stunts.

Very true

Ken Dryden.

How quickly we forgot Monsieur Jean Beliveau.

philmccracken69.bsky.social•91 days ago

A true role model.

Crosby and Koivu both did a lot behind the scenes. Unannounced hospital visits without the fanfare and cameras, quiet donations, things like that.

philmccracken69.bsky.social•91 days ago

I forgot about Koivu buying the CAT Scan machine for the hospital. That was genuine.

I’ve always been sceptical of PK’s fundraising at the Children’s tho - I know he donates some money, but it feels like he simply cannabilizes the fundraising machine to raise money with his name on it.

edoreilly.bsky.social•91 days ago

So did Guy LaFleur. I have personal experience of an unannounced Lafleur hospital visit here in Saint John,NB

If Trompe says it, it must be true! We can fish our Gretzky jerseys out of the garbage! The GREAT ONCE is great once again!

canadjen.bsky.social•91 days ago

He’s probably waiting for McSorley to step up

jacktodd.bsky.social•91 days ago

Ha!

My childhood hero is a true coward, sad.
To think that Jesse Marsch, an American at that, would have so much more courage than our Canadian icon.

cactusjackpine.bsky.social•91 days ago

While still a Maga POS, Gretzky apparently did tell OrangePutin that he was against annexation. Going contrary to the orange Fuhrer's ambitions is no small thing.
