Cromwell sent a memo to Hockey Canada’s Board of Directors on Oct. 10, one day prior to the mass resignation of the board and CEO Scott Smith. “While I acknowledge the dedication and tireless work of the current members of the Board, my view is that the best interests of Hockey Canada would be served if all directors retired from office when their current terms expire at the Dec. 17 annual meeting of Members and not put their name forward for re-election,” he wrote.

After the game, Anderson spoke with reporters and shared that his actions stemmed from a disagreement he had with the coaching staff about subbing out of the game on third down. He also explained that he wanted to speak with the media because he didn’t want anybody to “have a misconception about me.”

Ironic that the Moms for Liberty don’t want the school boards telling them what their children should read, but the fucking fascists jerks at Moms for Liberty want to tell the other parents what their kids can read.
Maybe we should ban fascist organizations.
Religion has caused more harm than any other idea since the beginning of time. There’s nothing good I can say about it. People use it as a crutch.
