[Citron] No Kings! (Unless They're Progressive)

Human beings have spent the better part of history attempting to break free from the yoke of hereditary rule. The majority of revolutions in history have been focused on taking power away from a few royal families. Emperors, dictators, and kings. Progressivism has been at the forefront of this fight.

The irony abounds then, when it comes to former Toronto city councillor Mike Layton. When asked about running for the federal NDP just 17 days ago, Mike Layton said: “My family and my work…remain my focus right now.”

Well, in a sense, today Layton put his money where his mouth was and backed that statement up: he’s looking to spend more time with his stepmother at City Hall come October 26th.

Picking The Worst Game on the Leafs Schedule for a "Real Fans" Game

Hey Leafs Nation. I have been hoping for many years to try something out - essentially a "die hard only" fan game. It will be like the Kids game, but fan made and made by adults.

The idea is pretty simple - find the crappiest home game on the Leafs schedule and try and get as many "real" fans as possible in there.

Your uncle has seasons tickets? He's probably trying to get rid of the Wednesday night vs Columbus game in February.

Your company has seasons? Well, if you were ever going to put in an ask it would be a Monday vs New Jersey.

Splurge once a year for a Christmas gift for your husband? Well, a weekday against Seattle is probably going to be the most affordable...

Anyway - with the schedule out. Would love to try this out. Can call it the "reddit" game or something.

Am I crazy?

I just want the boys to understand that 90% + of Leafs nation aren't corporate suits working for Loblaws. They're predominantly every day people who just want to support the team.

So, I will put it to you all here. Can we try and do this?

I think if we do, the absolute worst game on the schedule is Wednesday March 3rd against the Seattle Kraken. Seattle is terrible, an expansion franchise, and has no ties to Toronto (Bobby McMann revenge game aside..) - March is far enough into the season that this could be a lot of Christmas gifts too.

Ideally we get all the Leafs "influencers" in on this. The r/leafs reddit mods, Steve Dangle and crew, Hockey Illuminati, Sam and JD from Leafs talk. Can we send out the bat signal.

Who's with me on this?

One night only - real fans in the building. Wednesday March 3rd.

What version do I play?

I am sure you get this question all the time - but I want to play some WoW classic. What version should I play? Played a little in BC back in the day but never got to end game or anything.

Regular Classic?
Season of Discovery?
I don't think Hardcore is for me

Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere- can't find a straight answer

How would USMNT supporters feel about an annual competition with Canada?

Hey America, Canadian here. I floated an idea in some Canada Soccer circles about an annual competition across the border.

Maybe we can have it on thanksgiving weekend (the real one) every year - we can call it “The Dinde” 🦃(French for Turkey).

Could make it a double header with the women’s teams actually 🤔

I feel like it’s a rivalry worth building up now that Canada has an actual program. Is this something Americans would enjoy or are we too small time?

Maybe you’d prefer something with Mexico. Could be a mad men “I don’t think about you at all scenario”

Would love your thoughts - see you in October! 💪🇨🇦🇺🇸

What are you looking for in your next city councillor?

Wondering what people are looking for in their wards. I'm in St. Paul's so Matlow is a lock.

How's it shaping up in your ward?
