Don't these losers have jobs or hobbies they should be doing instead of holding up traffic and causing a scene?

The majority of the "protestors" in Winnipeg aren't even truckers, they're fucking farmers from Manitoba's Bible Belt. So yeah they have nothing to do right now.

It makes no sense that they wouldn't include Arkham Origins when there was literally a Wii U release they can just port (which is basically what Ubisoft did with the AC games that released on the Wii U).

Guess I won't go out of my way then and only pick up a copy to flip to Gamestop if there's still any available tomorrow >_>

As in $10 CAD so the game's almost 90% off.

Premierships collapse in Westminster systems and snap elections can be called on a whim, thats not advocating a coup.

That has nothing to do with what they're calling for.

What about the military?

They've already said that bringing in the military is absolutely the last thing they want to do.

Like not even from an optics standpoint, it kind of just guarantees things would turn violent.

but seems mostly harmless to me.

Just because it seems harmless from a violence standpoint doesn't mean it actually *is* harmless.

The huge mall (CF Rideau Centre) in the area of Ottawa that these people are in is still closed. That's *a lot* of people being put out of work right now.

This has to be one of the most slam-dunk hate crime incidents I've ever read

It's "Patriotic" to donate to causes in other countries now?

Where are you? I found the game to be far less hand-holdy than previous games, especially after the tutorial in the first area. And even during said tutorial, nothing stops you from going off the beaten path to explore a little.

I just finished the part where you finally get to hand in Pokedex data and get your first star.

Like yeah you can run around a lot in that area (I almost got wrecked by the Luxio lmao) but it still feels kinda hand-holdly >_>

This shit is sooooooooooooooooooooo slow

For as mediocre a movie as Raya and the Last Dragon was to begin with, she and her "accent" were easily the worst part of it.

No

Also if Eddie Redmayne hadn't had The Theory of Everything come out a couple months earlier I wonder if this movie would've destroyed his career

Calling that movie a huge disappointment may be an understatement

Oh yeah I agree but the creepy sexual stuff is a good starting point.

They also wanted an "advantage" as if it means anything when 99% of your players have never played in anything like this either.

Uh its not that cold there

It's literally like 1-2 F right now with something like a -13 windchill, and only supposed to get colder.

E: and I'm saying this as someone who lives somewhere where it's currently colder. Playing this game is downright dangerous to the players, especially the Honduran ones.

Literally makes zero sense to play in these temperatures and if anything is actually downright dangerous

A majority of Conservative MPs today voted to remove Erin O'Toole as party leader, paving the way for another leadership race only 18 months after the party finished the last one.

The result wasn't particularly close: 73 of the 118 MPs on hand the party's caucus chair, Scott Reid, did not cast a ballot voted to replace O'Toole with someone else.

O'Toole, a four-term Ontario MP who has fought only one federal election campaign as the party's leader, will be replaced by an interim leader later today after another caucus vote.

New Brunswick MP John Williamson, who was a senior staffer in former prime minister Stephen Harper's office, immediately put his name forward for that interim role, promising to ensure the party elects a permanent leader in a "fair and efficient contest."

O'Toole, who represents the riding of Durham in suburban Toronto, faced a barrage of criticism from his colleagues for shifting the party's positions on carbon taxation, balanced budgets and "assault-style" firearms during the election campaign.

Anti-O'Toole MPs were also frustrated that the Ontario Tory ran as a "true blue" Conservative in the party's leadership race only to shift the party to the centre when in the top job. In the end, enough MPs decided it was grounds for his dismissal.

O'Toole's warning that a vote against him and his more moderate vision of Canadian conservatism would put the party on the wrong path failed to rally enough MPs to his side.

In a statement after the vote, Matt Jeneroux, an Edmonton-area MP who backed the movement to fire O'Toole, said the party needs a leader who "clearly reflects our values."

"We must rebuild trust amongst Canadians and show them that we are strong and stable leaders who are rooted in our values while also understanding that we can evolve, learn and modernize our party to reflect all," he said. "This is an opportunity for the party."

Social conservative and anti-abortion activists celebrated O'Toole's decisive defeat. O'Toole's efforts to drag the party to the centre on social issues the party suppressed debate on abortion during the last Conservative policy convention, for example alienated some Conservative ground troops.

"O'Toole has time and again betrayed the party's socially conservative base with his support for abortion, LGBT ideology, oppressive lockdowns, and liberty-destroying passports for abortion-tainted vaccines," said Jeff Gunnarson, the president of the Campaign Life Coalition. "It's about time this fake conservative was given the boot."

Conservative MP Eric Duncan, an O'Toole ally and caucus secretary to the party, thanked the outgoing leader for his service while urging members to "unite" and "focus on defeating the Liberals in the next election."

"Leadership races can be a uniting process. We can be united. We need to get on the same page and we need to move in the same direction and I'm very confident there's a strong willingness to do that," he said.

This development will force the party brass to immediately begin organizing a leadership race on a very tight timeline. An election could be called at any time in this minority Parliament.

The Reform Act, the federal legislation that empowers Conservative MPs to remove their leader, does not specify how the next permanent leader will be elected, leaving that decision to the party itself.

The party's national council will meet as soon as possible to start planning for that race, a spokesperson for the party said. The first step for the council is to appoint a leadership election organizing committee to plan this contest.

These shitfucks are literally destroying themselves to own the Libs

The former wouldn't have been so bad, I understand the latter; any tech acquisitions in this day and age should be considered suspect at best.

Eh I'm actually of the mind that if this "new" FTC stance had been in place a few years ago that the Bass Pro-Cabela's buyout wouldn't have been able to go through either.

Bass Pro being allowed to buy any more of its competition at this point would be pretty bad.

Examples? I posted this topic as kind of an lol to be honest since we know the outcome but if they're actually being serious again that's cool.

They blocked Bass Pro buying Sportsman's Wearhouse and it looks like they're going to successfully prevent Nvidia from buying ARM.

I thought we knew this? Or is something changing with it?
Doesn't the government usually review these types of purchases?

Nah the FTC has been pretty hands-off since the mid-90s. Since Biden has been re-elected they've finally decided to start doing their job properly, and some mergers have been turned down.

Why even have a juvenile system, if we can choose to ignore it when we're pissed off enough?

Apparently the plea deal shouldn't have been allowed to happen because it's meant for a different age group for the victim (13-16) than the girl actually was (12).

https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/01/31/ex-nhl-player-reid-boucher-sentenced-sex-assault-case-closed-court/9288226002/

Reid Boucher, a former NHL player who has most recently been playing in the international Kontinental Hockey League, was sentenced in a closed Washtenaw County court hearing Monday in his 2011 sexual assault case involving a 12-year-old.

Boucher, of the Okemos area, who was 17 at the time of the offense but is now 28, will serve four years of probation, with one year of jail time suspended if he successfully completes the probation, his attorney and the now-23-year-old Ypsilanti woman at the center of the case both confirmed to the Free Press.

Boucher, who was originally charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, pleaded guilty in December to the lesser charge of third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving penetration with someone between the ages of 13 and 16 years old.

The first-degree charge carries a penalty of 25 years to life in prison, and the third-degree charge normally carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison, including sex offender registration.

However, Boucher was sentenced under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, or HYTA, which means he will keep a clean public record if he successfully completes his sentence.

The 23-year-old, speaking after the hearing under anonymity due to the circumstances of the case, said she was grateful for "some semblance of closure."

Meanwhile, Boucher's attorney, Pamella Szydlak, in an email referred to "revisionist history" in the case and said Boucher was prepared to go to trial but made the best choice for his family.

The 23-year-old woman came forward in 2021 to report that Boucher, as a 17-year-old, on two occasions pressured her into the use of her mouth for oral sexual assault in 2011 when she was 12 years old. She had been his so-called "billet sister" in USA Hockey National Team Development Program.

Washtenaw County Circuit Judge Patrick Conlin, in the open court hearing in December, agreed to the youthful trainee designation, citing "unusual circumstances, the time that has passed since the assault and Boucher's age of 17 back then.

On a public court livestream on YouTube on Monday, before going into a private video conference for the virtual sentencing, Conlin said he had received three media requests for access to the hearing but said under the county guidelines surrounding HYTA, the court closes such sentencings.

The Free Press had requested access to the hearing Monday and was denied.

The 23-year-old had been upset with the court closure stifling her voice. Speaking after the hearing, she said she was glad she at least got to read her victim impact statement in the closed hearing.

She's been clear with her displeasure at the deal that allowed Boucher to avoid incarceration and get HYTA a deal an advocacy group and the lead Larry Nassar prosecutor have questioned on a legal basis.

But Conlin, she said, explained in the hearing Monday that he hadn't meant to cause her more harm and that he called her case "unusual" not because of how long it took her to come forward as can happen with sex assault survivors but just because it was an older case. She appreciated that.

She also appreciated the jail sentence, though suspended. And she appreciated learning the prosecutor's office has some training planned with the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence.

Before coming forward, the woman suffered self-harm, an eating disorder, and from substance use disorder. And the criminal justice process made her feel revictimized, she said.

But she's proud of herself for coming forward and getting through this, she said.

"I'm so glad that even if this wasn't the outcome that I was hoping for, that it worked out in the end, in some capacity," she said.

Meanwhile, Szydlak issued the following statements via email:

"Everyone is quick to judge without knowing all the facts. Eleven years have passed and there most certainly appears to be revisionist history by the complainant in this case. That is evident by the inconsistent and embellished statements made by her.

"Reid Boucher is a genuine, caring and hard working young man.

"We were prepared to go to trial, but the prosecution presented a fair deal and Reid chose what was best for his family."

In a follow-up email, she added: "I want to compliment Judge Conlin, the Prosecutor's Office, and the Probation Department for recognizing that this was the proper disposition in this case. It does not happen often, and it should be respected when it occurs."

The Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office declined to comment, citing the nonpublic nature of the case.

Doesn't even have to register as a sex offender lmfao

RIP Sony sales.

And this is why whatever Sony comes up with as a "competitor" to Game Pass will never actually be a real threat. They literally could not afford to put this game on it Day 1.

Why are they releasing a game for a season that's not going to happen

Yeah, this is only on the PS5 console. On the app, storage specs is the only thing excluded for some reason. Probably a lazy afterthought.

Nah they actively took it away in this instance. I remember using it to compare the file sizes of PS3 games and their PS4 remasters.
