As seen above, Toronto flooded pretty badly just two days ago but this is what the mayor’s office is busy with lol.

Can’t believe he couldn’t get a two-way deal.
Some in Columbus wanted to give him at least a 3 year deal based on one good month playing about 4 lines higher up the depth chart than he should have been. He was decent, and I would have given him a league minimum one year 2 way deal to see how he played when everyone else was healthy.

That is insane and the only GM who would have done it was probably Hextall. :L

Didnt get a video of it, but on our way through Toronto (401) last week just east of town, a guy passed us on the left shoulder.

Gotta say, that was a first for me. Told the wife "wow, I have been gone longer than I realized. apparently driving norms have changed"

After a week in Florida, I am not at all surprised by anything I see someone doing in a motor vehicle.

North America really 1) needs to strengthen its drivers license standards and toughen testing needed to get a license, and 2) stop automatically giving full licenses to foreign drivers who immigrate - in Ontario, for example, if you bring a signed letter from the government of issue stating how long the driver's been driving etc. and they can pass their "G1" test (which is a written learner's permit) they're automatically given their G2 class license (basically full privileges).

There's usually a dozen awful driving videos posted somewhere online from the GTA every day and it's getting worse. Same is likely true pretty much everywhere. This is how people die.

first time i went to Europe, you could buy a drivers license at any gas station in Belgium.
which, of course, is recognized internationally.

Was it an international drivers license or a legit Belgian one? The former I could see but it's only valid with a legit domestic license, if the latter that's pretty fucked up lol

If you ever go to Antigua you can just buy a temporary license. they dont even check if you have a legit one.

I was in Antigua last year but I spent the entire time on a private island off the coast of it with just a bicycle.

But this was also the case in the Caymans IIRC.
