Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Hon. Ken Dryden, a Canadian hockey legend and hall of famer, public servant and inspiration. He was a 6-time Stanley Cup Champion, 5-time Vezina trophy winner, Minister of Social Development, and dedicated Parliamentarian.
Ken Dryden was the reason I became a goalie, although I never mastered his ability to lean on his stick let alone keep the puck out of the net.
His return to university at the height of his playing career taught the importance of balance in life. His post-hockey career demonstrated the value of public service.
Few Canadians have given more, or stood taller, for our country.
Ken Dryden was Big Canada. And he was Best Canada. Rest in peace.

Sometimes, what’s most important isn’t what a witness has to say, but what the DA doesn’t want them to say. As @JeffWolf5280 explained on @CourtTV earlier this week; in the #KarenReadTrial, Defense lawyer Alan Jackson expertly highlighted that the DA was trying to hide something
Spoiler alert: the "Dem sources" are Senator Whitehouse back for a third try. Saved you a click.
Scoop: Dem sources are quietly concerned that Dick Durbin, 79, isn’t up to the task of fighting Trump judicial nominees.
Dems jaded by having Dianne Feinstein as the top Dem on the judiciary committee under first Trump WH.

Here's JCN accidentally making the case for the ethics reform they oppose because they think it's about conservative vs liberal justices. Pretty sure the bill would apply to all nine...
Will this story receive the same coverage?

RIP Gordon Lightfoot, a musician who, more than any other singer-songwriter, personified Canada, writes biographer @nicojennings.
Mr. Lightfoot's robust songs about winter nights, morning rain, being bound for Alberta and sailing on Ontario’s Georgian Bay came closest to expressing for many Canadians the essence of life in the Great White North.
He leaves six children – Fred, Ingrid, Eric, Galen, Miles and Meredith – from different relationships, as well as several grandchildren.

Police killed at least 881 people through September 30, 2022. Police killed more people over the past 9 months than at any other point in the past decade. There have only been 10 days this year where police did not kill someone. mappingpoliceviolence.us

The same people who spent all last month insisting that life must be protected above any other consideration will now explain to you how children being massacred in their classrooms is just the sunk cost of protecting a single sentence written in 1789.
