Canada will win as I just put pants on, which did the trick in the Canada-Finland game

Mitch Marner has been excellent in this game. Such a cerebral player.

I’m all in on the Gretzky hate. He’s been dead to me since he shilled for Harper.

He also looks as unhealthy as his buddy Trump.

Missing so many chances in one game does not bode well for Canada. It pains me to say it

Congrats to Phil Noble of Reuters for this incredible perp photo of Andrew.

Czechia had 6 skaters on the ice from at least 7:49 until they scored the 3-2 goal at 7:42, and the 6th player to jump on the ice appears to be none other than goalscorer Ondrej Palat.

Incredible that the officials and the Canadian video coaches didn't notice this.

I’ve got an honours degree in political science and a degree from the London School of Economics but I’m unclear on the definition of communism.

I did find these three posted online that look similar. One was posted in 2009 is the same except it has no hole in it.

The second looks the same except the metal is a silver colour.

Any help solving this mystery would be appreciated.

Also most MB tokens were for smaller denominations including one Made-Beaver, one-half, one-quarter, and one-eighth.

I did find a 20 M B token, but it's from the H.B.C. St. Lawrence Labrador District in 1923.

Hudson's Bay Company made beaver tokens.

Hudson's Bay Company made beaver tokens.

The date says 1784 but I have my doubts that it is that old. I also don't know what it's made out of (maybe brass)?

I did some internet searching, but it sounds like most HBC tokens weren't minted until the early 1800s and many of them were stamped with N B not M B.

My partner gave me this gift many Xmases ago and I found it the other day when I was rummaging through my treasures drawer.

My understanding is that it is a 10 MB (Made Beaver) token from the Hudson’s Bay Company, but I’m not sure if it’s authentic?

People who care about climate change are nostalgic for the past or deeply concerned about the future?
