Battle of the Saints! St. Thomas women's hockey defeated Saint Mary's in Halifax in OT, to win the series in two-straight. STU advances to play StFX in semi-finals.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Trump is the Mongolian candidate. The devil You know is a challenge. The devil You don't know is a problem. ~Chairforce1

UNB Men's Hockey: Emmet Sproule finished with most points & Peter Reynolds ended with 30% shooting percentage. Sproule and Ben Corbeil led the team with 1.5 points per game. Justin Nolet with 28 assists and no goals is of note. Kale McCallum with most shots on net, followed closely by Cole MacKay.

Book people: Has anyone ever seen an English translation of "Do Oxen Low when Mangers are Full?" by Panas Myrnyĭ (Dnipro Publishers, 1990) for sale? My language-buddy in Lviv sent me a PDF of this really important and influential Ukrainian work, and I would love to get a copy to read and share.

When you watch Trump and Musk destroy government services with Republicans' collusion, and Democrats flail helplessly to resist while the people affected are ignored, you begin to understand why in some countries the military decide they have to take over to restore order.

OT solves nuthin'. 1-1. X and UNB are tied for 1st place, so whoever wins the shootout will be all alone in 1st place.

UNB Women's Hockey Mel Drost snipes with seconds left in the game to force OT in Antigonish.

Doing my part for the Canadian economy!

1st World Problem: Building cafeteria ran out of oat cakes this morning. 😐

UNB women's hockey F/D 'mighty mouse' Marisa Valla has special fans at Seniors Night.

Watching austv.ca, UNB men's hockey dominating the first period territorially in Antigonish, but no score. Shots favoured the Reds 14-4 over StFX.

So Trump has caved and given Canada a 30-day reprieve on tariffs, just like Mexico. This isn't over. Don't trust him. Keep up your US boycotts. Nobody holds grudges like Canadians, right?

Warned my boss this morning that I was beyond angry; still seething from the stupidity of Trump's Tariff War. Good thing I rarely interact wth Americans in my work, as I would probably tear them a new one.

Don't kid youself because it sounds so ridiculous. Trump has initiated Economic Warfare against Canada with these tariffs. He is doing what a bully does. He wants to hurt us, and then we're to beg him on bended knees to take whatever he wants to end the madness.

Canada should put a 15% tax on 'energy' exports to the US. This would nullify Trump's tariff carve out (10% tariff instead of 25%) and ensure US consumers feel the shock for heating and at the pumps. Even better, the revenue from the extra 15% would stay in Canada.
