    Indeed. Not so long ago Stu Cowan, with a couple of sports sociologists, wrote “Skating on Thin Ice.” The book was occasioned by the Habs signing a young man who been convicted of sexual misconduct. It describes a situation wherein sexual misconduct is “normal” in Canada’s hockey system. From boys to adult men. Hockey is a place where sexual misconduct is groomed.

    Not a safe place for our sisters, daughters, granddaughters, or women friends to be hanging out. This is a men’s health issue.

    WTF are coaches and parents thinking, creating and condoning this?

  6. 🏒🥅 It sure looks that way.
    My respect for team’s leadership diminished as I watched McDrai stop listening to coach, stop playing 200-ft hockey, and w they blamed goalies and coaches for poor season. Add the McD “hire” of a reputed bully as new coach, the signing of a sexual predator, and Drai lauding the bully-coach as a “man.”
    WTF is this telling the boys and girls who love hockey?

    I returned to hockey fandom after 40+ years
    because it was exciting to watch McDrai.

    In the coming days I’ll do a ritual purging of Oilers jerseys etc. I’m sad about this. But, I can’t support this team anymore.

    I feel for the people of Oilerville who’ve been let down by these leadership fails. But I’m moving on. This season, and henceforth, I’ll be rooting for the Habs. They appear to be building something with good team culture. Habs Cup before an Oilers Cup? We shall see.

    The HuGo rebuild, in hockey’s sacred city, is a marvellous thing to behold. Young. Talented. Fast. Exciting!

    Will they compete for Stanley in 2027? 🤞 🏆

  16. NOT so harmless...

    Excerpt: "Introducing #KareniaMikimotoi

    "The species responsible for recent events in #SouthAustralia beaches, #KMikimotoi, causes harmful #algal blooms in #Asia, #Europe, #SouthAfrica and #SouthAmerica, as well as #Australia and #NewZealand. These blooms all caused fish deaths, and some also caused #breathing difficulties among local #beachgoers.

    "The most drastic of these K. mikimotoi blooms have occurred in China over the past two decades. In 2012, more than 300 square kilometres of abalone farms were affected, causing about A$525 million in lost production.

    Explaining the toxic effects

    "Microalgae can damage the gills of fish and shellfish, preventing them from breathing. This is the main cause of death. But some studies have also found damage to the gastrointestinal tracts and livers of fish.

    "Tests using fish gill cells clearly show the dramatic toxic effect of K. mikimotoi. When the fish gill cells were exposed to intact K. mikimotoi cells, after 3.5 hours more than 80% of the fish cells had died.

    "Fortunately, the toxin does not persist in the environment after the K. mikimotoi cells are dead. So once the bloom is over, the marine environment can recover relatively quickly.

    "Its toxicity is partly due to the algae’s production of 'reactive oxygen species', reactive forms of oxygen molecules which can cause the deaths of cells in high doses. K. mikimotoi cells may also produce lipid (fat) molecules that cause some toxic effects.

    "Finally, a very dense bloom of microalgae can sometimes reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water column, which means there is less oxygen for other marine life.

    "The human health effects are not very well known but probably relate to the reactive oxygen species being an irritant.

    "K. mikimitoi cells can also produce 'mucilage', a type of thick, gluey substance made of complex sugars, which can accumulate #bacteria inside it. This can cause 'sea foam', which was evident on beaches last week.

    "A question for many people is whether increasing water temperatures make blooms of K. mikimotoi more likely.

    "Another concern is whether nutrient runoff from farms, cities and #aquaculture could cause more harmful algal blooms.

    "Unfortunately, for Australia at least, the answer to these questions is we don’t know yet. While we know some harmful algal blooms do increase when nutrient runoff is higher, others actually prefer fewer nutrients or colder temperatures.

    "We do know warmer water species seem to be moving further south along the Australian coastline, changing #phytoplankton species abundance and distribution.

    "While some microalgal blooms can cause bioluminescence that is beautiful to watch, others such as K. mikimotoi can cause skin and respiratory irritations.

    If you notice discoloured water, fish deaths or excessive sea foam along the coast or in an estuary, avoid fishing or swimming in the area and notify local primary industry or environmental authorities in your state."

  17. How media covers death and destruction in nature
    Explicit content warnings needed for ecological disasters?

    "Disasters that affect our ecosystems can generate anxiety, grief and a sense of helplessness, which media reporting can amplify."

    "SA’s experience with the algal bloom suggests it’s time to extend the logic of existing media guidelines into the environmental domain. A dedicated framework for reporting on environmental disasters would not censor or dilute journalism. It would strengthen it." >>

  18. #Algal #Toxins emerge as a new concern in #Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea

    Locals who depend on the sea for food and culture are trying to understand the risks to traditional foods and wildlife populations in a region undergoing myriad changes

    by Yereth Rosen, Alaska Beacon, May 31, 2026 via #ICTNews

    Excerpt: "For countless generations, people of the #BeringStrait region have relied on the food they harvest from the sea without worrying about #HarmfulAlgalBlooms [#HABs] that threaten seafood eaters in warmer and more southern latitudes.

    "Now, as the Northern Bering Sea undergoes cascading effects of a warming climate, algal risks pose a new challenge.

    "The change has been dramatic.

    "And it has prompted a change in the way #Nome youth grow up learning about collecting food from the waters around their home. In early April, Nome high school students traveled to Bethel with their science teacher, where they presented their research at the Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference held by Alaska Sea Grant.

    "Algal toxins were present, at very low but detectable levels, in fish they eat.

    "Sophomore Audrey Bruner-Alvanna was among the group of student researchers. She said young people are concerned about algal blooms, which proliferate in warmer conditions, and their potential effects on wild food resources.

    " 'Because, you know, as the climate changes, as the world gets warmer and stuff, there’s going to be more of these toxins and stuff during summer,' she said. 'I feel like a lot of people that I’ve talked to have been wondering about how our subsistence is going to change in the future based on all of that.'

    "The student research came about after one of the nation’s densest and biggest concentrations of toxin-producing Alexandrium algae ever documented burst forth in the waters of the Bering Strait region in 2022.

    "Until the appearance of the 'massive bloom, the most toxic bloom, the longest-persisting bloom in the U.S.,' local people barely knew what harmful algal blooms or #Alexandrium are, said Emma Pate, president of the Nome Eskimo Community, the local tribal government.

    " 'So we had to figure things out and learn really fast,' Pate said during an October 'Strait Science' presentation hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Nome campus."

  20. 🇨🇦 I get it that Ottawa Senators fans get the anti-Canada sentiment oozing from the Orange Lord, w commensurate booos during US anthem. I’m wondering if Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, Winnipeg fans are so patriotically expressive? I’m esp curious about Edmonton & Calgary fans. Their Premier bows to the Orange One. Will they boo or cheer, hearing the Star Spangled Banner?

  21. @hnom And no Kevin Bieksa, this isn’t “what you get when you stop fighting” in the NHL. Because fighting in the NHL hasn’t stopped. I see a fight in a lot of games.
    This is what we get when a fast, dynamic, and aggressive sport isn’t properly officiated.
    Players do fight. That isn’t the issue. The issue is “game management” rather than rules-based officiating.

  22. 🏒🥅 NHL Jets, obviously. And Oilers. Leafs, yup. Hoping for the Habs (fingers crossed). But Sens? Calgary Flames? Canucks?
    How many Canadian clubs make the playoffs in 2025? See the #HNOMpoll at the top of the thread to add your hopes and dreams (drop your opinions in the comments here, s'il vous plaît )

    Is there a pattern viz a clubs’ “hitting percentage” and its success measured as points? It certainly isn’t the obvious one…
