Le Roi de cœur.

Safety of all participants is hugely important. But the sportswashing component is crucial, IMO. Do FIFA and the IOC really want to stamp their imprimatur on Trump’s white supremacist Fascist dictatorship? Yanking the World Cup and Summer Olympics would send a clear message of disapproval.

Beau Dommage, Harmonium, Offenbach, on and on. Oodles of talent - soundtrack of my college years and beyond. I sure appreciated them. Not to mention Diane Dufresne. youtu.be/S6FFO5Ky0OA

President of the United States — messenger boy for a homocidal dictator.

Could be. It’s still irrelevant. The data is the issue, not the alleged voting patterns of CBO staff. This is pure Trump. Judge Curiel, remember, must recuse (Trump U fraud case) because he’s Mexican (not) and Trump’s building a wall. Projection, baby. Ron Johnson and Rand Paul are Republicans.

OK. Stop. No more clues needed.

If these ICE thugs themselves break the law, I assume being clad in shapeless clothing from head to toe, as well as concealing their faces would make it hard for them to identified in court.

Well-written piece about an enraging situation. Legault’s Bill 21 leaves such an ugly stain on Quebec society.

Busman’s holiday, Guillaume?

Not particular. No kidding. He doesn’t care a whit about actual peace, either. Just tons of unearned recognition.

Or after, say, 45. A ban might be too draconian, but severely rationing those dastardly screens is a smart move, IMO. Live in the three-dimensional world. Oh, baby.

The IOC should move the 2028 Games from Los Angeles. Not because of ticket issues, but for the security of all visitors, with ICE goons on the boil. Doubt the corrupt IOC has it in them. Given Trump and FIFA honcho Gianni Infantino are pals, the soccer championship is also locked in. Disgraceful.

Always weird to be scolded by the bully for not going along with the bullying. I remember then-ambassador Paul Celluci ripping Canada for not supporting Bush’s invasion of Iraq. I forgave Celluci (R.I.P.) after chatting with him at an Oilers game in Edmonton. New Englander, big hockey fan.
