Canada is trying to impose an onerous tax on U.S. technology firms, which is not acceptable: https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/tariff-deals-could-wrapped-labor-172757235.html

This is mostly true, although a few comments are in order. (1) this history was all before Amazon took over the franchise, and it is not clear whether they will pay attention to and respect it; and (2) although Sean Connery was mostly a bit player before he got cast in Dr. No, his career was on...

I am still trying to process why Martin Kove bit Alicia Hannah-Kim, and why she declined to press charges, despite her apparent anger in that video and her mocking of Kove's explanation that it was a "playful" bite. My conclusion is that this is part of the flighty, free spirited behavior that...

NHL Discusses Potential 84 Game Season: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/45585302/nhl-nhlpa-negotiating-84-game-season-new-cba-sources-say

HM, Can you imagine what would have happened if you had similarly bitten an SP at one of Iggy's parties? Apart from Iggy banning you from future parties apology or not?

It cannot be a PR stunt if the show wrapped. In any event I didn't interpret this as a PR stunt being acted out and it would make no sense for Kove to have agreed to severely damage his own reputation like this. What is funny is she calls him an 80 year old man and Kove is actually 78. That was...
