Friday Fun Link – Stanley Cup Winning Goals (1933-2019)

This video isn’t as relevant tonight as I’d hoped it would be.  But oh well, the Avs will hopefully add their own contribution to this montage on Sunday!

Friday Fun Link – Saskatchewan Political Contribution Search Tool

Not sure how long this has existed but recently came across a tool that lets you search political donations to various parties in Saskatchewan (I think the cut-off for public disclosure is amounts $250 or over.  So if you’re a manager and want to donate to the NDP or a union member who wants to […]

Friday Fun Link – Stanley Cupple
