The Bruins won.
What does it mean to get “hailed on?” Or should I even ask?
My condolences, Leaffan.
Hailstones falling from the skies? that’s what I took it to mean.
Yes. Of course. Hailstones. My brain is numbed by the hockey results.
Yay, they landed safely!
Yay indeed! What an awesome guy.
I just got this from Twitter - Don Cherry’s Piano Desk. I don’t know why that’s so funny. 
thanks!
Too bad about the Leafs, but glad to hear that Commander Chris has made it back to Earth safely.
The Ottawa Senators: Canada’s team. 
I go to school with a bunch of Leafs, Habs, and Nucks fans. I shall let the taunting on Facebook commence!
It’s going to be a sad day when William Shatner dies.
At 82, he’s as busy as he’s ever been. I love his early-days quote about taking whatever roles he could: “Work equals work.”
I stumbled across his latest endeavour, brownbagwinetasting.com. I checked out a couple of the short videos, and Shatner is actually a pretty good interviewer.
Is he a Canadian Treasure? I think so.
It is difficult being a Leafs fan.
Read somewhere one saying yesterday that, when he dies, his wish is that members of the team act as his pallbearers and lower him into the grave … as he wants to be let down by the Leafs one last time! 
Shatner is unquestionably a national treasure. I worship Him like a God. 
On an unrelated note, the day every year when the Leafs get eliminated from Stanley Cup contention is always the day the sun shines brightest and reminds me that all is right with the world.
So the pollsters lost in BC. Christie Clarke gets a majority govenment here, when a month ago no one thought the Liberals had a chance. (BC liberal does not equal Liberal Party of Canada). Adrian Dix, the NDP leader won his seat, but lost the election and Premier Christie Clarke has lost her own seat. Interesting. So we get to pay for a bi-election so she can sit in the Legislature?
But the best quote of the night? " Dix’ caucus is shrinking."
Dix had the charisma of a wet noodle. Plus, he decided to run a “high road” campaign, while the BC Liberals pulled out all the stops, calling the NDP “marxist communist socialists” who were going to shut down every resource company in the province, put your children in commie re-education camps and sell your grandmother to the bug-blatter beast of Trall.
Apparently the electorate (in the rural middle of the province anyway) bought the fear and smear.
The electorate also seems to have forgotten about the 6 million given to the BC rail criminals for their silence, making BC “the best place on earth for pharmaceutical companies to sell dangerous or useless drugs”, permission to sell forestry land by cabinet ministers with a conflict of interest (brother in law), Premier’s aids working on political campaigns on the taxpayer dime, etc. etc.
This will just embolden the BC Liberals to continue business as usual. Watch for a fire sale of assets to pay off BC’s structural deficit - sort of like paying off your VISA by selling the furniture. Watch for these assets to be bought for very good prices by folks with connections to the party - coincidence of course.
Watch for further cuts to advanced education and training, followed by an increase in foreign workers in the province to do jobs (at lower salaries) than Canadians who (golly) don’t seem to have the training.
Watch for the “conditions” for a pipeline across sensitive northern BC habitat to magically be fulfilled, and for ads paid for by the BC taxpayer to convince us that Enbridge is our bestest friend who would NEVER put profit ahead of safety.
Watch for our debt to increase, while taxes from corporations go down.
Yes, I"m freaking thrilled, can you tell?
What strikes me the most from your post, Euphonius Polemic, is that you could substitute “Alberta Conservatives” for “BC Liberals” and not significantly change the things you’re saying. Isn’t that interesting?
Interesting but not surprising, since the BC Liberals are essentially the Conservative Party here. The BC Conservatives are more like the Wild Rose party.
Stockwell day was on TV last night, congratulating Christy Clark. Harper advisers were all over her campaign.
Well slide over and pour me a BC wine, I am with you on all of it. I live at the boundary between Vancouver-Fairview and Vancouver-Point Grey. I would have LOVED to vote against Misty Christie but instead I got to vote against her cabinet minister.
A week ago I was posting on Facebook from my phone and I mentioned that since the woman didn’t know how to vote correctly I could hardly trust her to run the province. But I typed “rum” the province. I got a bunch of teasing for that, but I threatened I would need enough rum to give myself a 4 year black out if she was re elected. Gulp.
I will be in rehab by 2017, I hope.
Where do you live Euphonius Polemic?
No. It Couldn’t.
Don’t spread that shit.
