He's Hedy Fry's son? Jesus, why did I not know this or put it together? Probably because he doesn't come across as having an "advantageous" background. Where is Neem to talk about privilege?

Anyway, I may not have always agreed with Hedy Fry but she at least seemed to have intelligence.

It did not pass on to her offspring.

Yup. The guy’s a bit of a fraud. He was a dedicated pothead back in the day. Now he’s Mr. Concerned Citizen. Makes me laugh.

it's funny in a disheartening way that the biggest frauds are the ones that generally succeed in politics.

No surprises there.

RC I'm really busy with work these days but I get to vote for the Green's new leader in a week or so.

Mind researching all of them and giving me a breakdown?

When the longshoremen at the port of Montreal went on strike they began diverting traffic through Halifax. As of this morning there was 200K feet of traffic sitting at the docks. ( 18 extra trains) with another 60K to arrive today.

We've also landed 2 contracts out of the deal until at least Christmas and possibly permanently, nearly doubling our pre-existing intermodal commitments. I'll be busy until the new year.

I think we could all use a short break and come back in the fall for a fresh start to a new season.

I've been doing the same. There's some great posters there, yourself included. I went in after the game last night and thought better on chiming into the conversation.

They've never been subtle but they sure have picked up this year. .

Morning hate used to be a funny inside joke. Morning hate has been replaced by. 24/7 vitriol.

(It's kinda weird in a way how the lines got broken down by loose socioeconomic lines. The pandemic just put a spotlight to them.)

Anyway, any of you schmucks doing fantasy football?

Anyone do research for a draft and have a cheat sheet/ tier breakdown?

Some of my friends and I from back home started a poker night on Sundays using an app. With $20 buy ins i've managed to win $330 in the first 4 sessions.

Now that's boasting.

Next week i'll regale you with you all with tales of my powerful backhand.
