I remember when you could smoke on planes.

Well, poop.

I should have voted early. Wait will likely be 2+ hours after work, which means I probably just go home.

- Leafs43


I showed up 20 minutes early and was about 40th in line. Went pretty fast though, only took about 20 minutes after the polls opened at 9:30.

No politics talk.

You’ve already been warned about this.

Shoppers Drug Mart rapid test?

And if so, was it hard to book?

Wife and I are toying with the idea of taking a quick weekend trip - so we will have to get that done.

Shop around, rates for the antigen test (if you are travelling to the U.S.) vary. The best I have found was in Kitchener for 30; obviously not feasible for you.

Advance polling for me for the last 10 and I'll never wait to vote on election day because of the summabytch Murphy and his stupid laws that would prevent me from being able to do so.

Sucks that you can't vote Joel, hopefully your right and it doesn't make a difference.

I will await the actual % of eligible voters who voted and be disappointed with the voter apathy as I am every election.

The question was addressed this morning on CP24 and unfortunately the answer was that you are basically SOL; just bad timing and not much can be done at this point.

Standing in line to vote, a small fox just walked through the adjacent park/playground. Kinda cool.

Do we have some stats of Nylander playing on his off-wing? I'd like to see if he's as effective there or if it makes any significant difference in his scoring.
- mjones242


I had to go vote (which was a pain and took over an hour because they moved our voting station (when we got there, they had workers in the parking lot to tell you it had been moved) to a section of town that is closed due to construction so you had to drive 15-20 minutes around the construction and then along a closed road to get to the church! When we did there was a massive line of other poor suckers who had likewise been directed there! Anyway, mission accomplished.

I had extracted some line data for the past 3 years. Nylander has been a LW with 4 different lines in the past 2 years only:

Nylander-Tavares-Mikheyev (73 minutes)
Nylander-Tavares-Simmonds (35 minutes)
Nylander-Matthews-Kapanen (60 minutes)
Nylander-Tavares-Kapanen (14 minutes)

The numbers are not flattering. The xGF - xGA for those 4 lines respectively are: -1.7, 1.1, -.5 and .3. The actual goals, respectively, were -1, +2, +3 and -1.

There was moderate success with Kapanen centred by Matthews, and also some success with Simmonds on the right side centred by Tavares.

The best they can do - *IF* they really feel it would be helpful - is try it with Kase and see if there's any comfort level. I know Nylander played the left side with the Marlies and he also played LW on Team Sweden a couple of times.

I did a quick googling yesterday - $40 seems to be the best I'm going to get around here.

We live on a fairly busy street but near a ravine and golf course so lots of foxes, coyotes. Weirdest thing I saw was a coyote and fox trotting down together (not really together but maybe 8 feet apart) moving in the same direction along front lawns, both turning off the street onto a side street. I see this fox in this area a lot. He was certainly aware of the coyote but not freaked.

Long line, because they only have one person checking the ID.

Then six people operating the actual voting booths - so of course there's no lineup there.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the ID desk was going to be the bottleneck.

Frustrating.
