They've already changed their highly editorialized headline - it originally read,

Manitoba budget banks on federal transfers to promise steep deficit cut, tax-free soda, chips

You get double coverage that way.

I would never disrespect Bill Watterson like that.

Ooh divisive!

I had a lot of fun with this one. It's definitely light and breezy, but I connected with it in a way that I did not with Godzilla '14.

Well, he's certainly in a better position to know than any of us in the peanut gallery.

Let's hope they get it over with and make an announcement sooner, rather than later.

No doubt - I'd rather have a law like this on the books than not.

But I hate under-enforced laws that are so troublesome to seek justice for that most people don't bother.

I'm not a soccer fan, so maybe I'm part of the problem, but I was pretty disappointed when Valour folded last year. I hope we haven't reached maximum pro sports saturation.

What are the odds this will also come with enough support to enforce it properly?

This is a pleasant surprise - I had no idea if the first season was considered successful, but it was an unexpected delight.

Hmm, that is a very interesting data point.

It does seem like Paramount+ has a problem with drawing younger people - stuff aimed at younger demographics doesn't seem to last long (with the exception of Spongebob). I always thought SFA's success was a bit of a long shot for that reason.

And ironically, merging with HBO Max might actually help with that, but it won't come soon enough.

Well, damn.

There's inevitably (and understandably) going to be a lot of speculation about what, exactly, led to this decision, but...in the absence of any further information, I'm just going to be bummed about it.
