The Yorkton Terriers have treated us to the best Junior ‘A’ hockey we’ve seen in this city in five years. The games, in a lot of ways, have been more exciting to watch than when the team went all the way in 2014. And, I hate to be the bah-humbug of it all, but why do we need that ear piercing horn to help our team succeed? I really like Darrin Campbell. He is great for the Terriers, he’s great for our community, and he’s a great guy to hang out with and talk hockey. But, there’s got to be another way to show how enthusiastic we are without the crazy horn. I guess it wouldn’t be nearly as bad if I only heard it after a goal or as they come out of the dressing room. However, it’s reached the point where I feel like we are out to prove our horn is louder than their horns. Mission accomplished. It’s the loudest horn in the SJHL to be sure.
I am not sure if Humboldt still have their fans that bring a really loud rattle type device to the games or not. Back when they were winning championships about ten years ago, there was a fan who had the most annoying noise maker I’ve ever heard and they sat right behind the visitor’s bench. It was so bad, I remember Larry Wintoneak, when he was coach of Kindersley, spilled coffee on himself early in the first period and then turned around and tried to climb into the stands in an effort to convince the officials to evict the fan. If that rattle (and rattle isn’t really the right word to use here, but I don’t know what else to call it) is still being brought to the games, that would be the only thing I can think of that would out-do the horn at Yorkton games.
All in all, I realize it’s in good fun and it’s great to see this kind of passion for the Terriers. The horn isn’t going to prevent me from going to future games at all. I’d just prefer we be more selective when it gets blown and try to remember I’m not young anymore so my ears aren’t as tough haha.
Donald Trump has been exonerated of Russia collusion in the last US federal election. In fact, the report says that Trump isn’t only not guilty of collusion, but he turned down numerous offers from Russian officials. Think of all the times media people appeared on your television set promoting Trump and Russia collusion. Media is, truly, broken.
One of the reasons Trump is despised by some folks is because he’s so rich and people are jealous. You know there will be something else that media will attach themselves to in hopes of having him removed from office. Maybe it’ll be the tax returns. The one thing I’d say to that is maybe we shouldn’t worry about how rich Trump is, but instead look at how rich other politicians got after they were in office. Trump amassed his wealth before he became President. Many others left that office with a lot more in the bank than when they arrived. I question those people more than Trump.
Here in Canada, we need to start asking ourselves what will happen if the incompetent and corrupt Liberals survive the SNC Lavalin scandal and win the October 21st election. What will Justin Trudeau think he can’t do in terms of political corruption and extending political favours to their rich friends? I fear the answer to that is ‘nothing’. And, in fact, I wouldn’t be shocked if federal elections become a thing of the past and Trudeau passes a law that says since the Liberals know what’s best for us all, they just get to stay in power forever. That’s how he has done everything else, through lecturing and fake kindness.
Apparently, Trudeau couldn’t even abide by the rules in the House of Commons that say no food is allowed as he was accused of eating a bagel. He admitted to chomping on a chocolate bar and apologized, but Catherine McKenna could be seen chewing something while seated behind him as he apologized. They are that smug.
The Conservatives forced an all-night session of voting last week with the intent being that in the event not enough Liberals are sitting in the House at the time of a vote, it would be considered a non-confidence vote and an election would be triggered. According to Pierre Polievre, the Liberals did have an instance were 52 of them were late arriving for a vote on a particular issue and the government should have been overthrown; but since the Speaker Of The House is also Liberal, he claimed to not really know if they made it in on time and couldn’t determine if some of them voted when they shouldn’t have. So, the entire exercise is pointless and we don’t enforce the current rules on the books.
Nice person mentions this week: April Brazeau, Kelsey Forgeron, Robert Gosselin, Darryl Wolski, and Donna Harpauer.
