No way. His smile is contagious. It just seems odd because its so rare to see a politician with a genuine smile and not a carefully crafted one.

I would honestly love to see Wab Kinew take a run at the federal leadership.

For the same reason that two boring white dudes can star in two different movies in the same year about the White House being taken over by terrorists

Because similar isn't the same. As long as they can argue that specifics are different enough, that's all that matters.

By no means do I think she did it better than Joplin. But Pink's AOL Sessions performance of Me and Bobby McGee has stuck in my head for decades now. (And for what it's worth, both are better than the original from Kristofferson)

Second choice, and another one that I legitimately think is better than the original, *Tweeter and the Monkey Man" by The Headstones.

Edited: Honourable Mention, because no one ever actually tops The Clash. But Captain Tractor did a version of London Calling that is one of my favourites.

Edited: Okay...one last one. Specifically for the Saskies. Captain Tractor's version of the Arrogant Worm's "Last Saskatchewan Pirate".

For a bit of context, back in the 90s, my then girlfriend and I were decent friends with the band. Enough so that whenever they would come to Saskatoon they'd crash at our place and we'd go hang out backstage at their shows. Weird because the reason we knew them in the first place was because the drummer was my girlfriends ex....but hey...it was the 90s.

Just an all around bar-band all about drinking songs. Something young people don't do anymore. Was talking to a buddy of mine the other day about how every bar we used to go to in the 90s has been demolished.

I haven't even met her and I already love her.

Since when is that allowed!? /s

I'm fine with that. My bigger question was simply why am I seeing it in sports news instead of entertainment news all of a sudden? It's not a sport. it's a variety show sponsored by the makers of steroids.

I don't disagree. My larger point was that the Greens and the NDP can spend their time checking off promises for every niche issue that only affects a few people. They can literally have thousands of little promises to small groups because there's no expectation that they'll ever win the leadership and actually have to come through on them.

I'm not going to say I "love" them now, but I appreciate onions' use in cooking and flavour profiles now. Whereas when I was younger, anything I ate had to have no onion in it whatsoever.

It's easy to make every promise to everybody when you know you literally have zero chance of ever needing to fulfil them.

First thought that came to me as well. Thank You Captain Picard...

Does he want to lose literally everywhere except the prairies?

US: "You guys need to be more responsible for your own security."

Europe: Takes a stronger stance on Ukraine.

US: "No...not like that..."

Pharmacy got robbed with a crossbow back when I was managing a Shoppers Drug Mart in the bad part of town back in the day.

I mean...sure Google. Knock yourself out. But I still prefer Jenga.

The Long Dark still remains one of my favourite experiences of all time. If you haven't tried it yet, do so.

And Rimworld is...well....Rimworld; a fun war-crime simulator with cute characters.

GIMP for example is nowhere near feature parity with Photoshop

Yeah. That's exactly my point....maybe I wasn't clear.

The problem is that no one specific FOSS tool has feature parity. To get the same abilities as Photoshop, you have to use a workflow that is a combination of GIMP, Inkscape, Krita and Scribus instead of having it in the one package, which is why Adobe is the industry standard.
