Losing in six games to a Las Vegas team that tamed the NHL’s most potent offense in the previous round wasn’t necessarily sinful. Late in the season, Robertson referenced the Stars’ “sloppy” play at AAC, especially in the first period. In the Stars’ first playoff series against the Wild, the first team that scored won every game. Whatever the problem was, the deeper the Stars went in the playoffs, the worse Oettinger played. Do the Stars need to consider giving Oettinger more time off next season to make him at his best for the playoffs?

Colonization and its Impact:The heritage of settler colonization has had a profound impact on Indigenous peoples, disrupting their traditional ways of life. Each area represents distinct traditions and ways of life, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the diversity and shared heritage among Indigenous communities. Efforts to reclaim traditional names and promote Indigenous place names are underway, challenging the anglicization of the continent’s name and honoring Indigenous perspectives. In recent years, there has been a growing movement among Indigenous activists and communities to reclaim traditional names and revitalize Indigenous place names. Efforts such as the Ogimaa Mikana project have been instrumental in reintroducing Indigenous names for various locations across the continent.

The barrage included RBI singles by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Matt Chapman along with a two-run double by Whit Merrifield. After their second trip through the batting order, the Jays had 10 hits — nine singles — and had made only seven outs. Rowdy returnsThe Jays traded Rowdy Tellez to Milwaukee in July of 2021, getting back reliever Trevor Richards and minor-league pitcher Bowden Francis. Guerrero connectionVlad’s uncle Wilton Guerrero, who played parts of four seasons with the Montreal Expos, came to town to help his nephew work out of a slump that saw him go just 1-for-12 in the weekend series in Minnesota. They talked a lot about timing, and whatever uncle Wilton said seemed to work in a hurry.

Leading candidates for Toronto mayor will lock horns Wednesday night in a debate that comes as the race enters a crucial phase. “The stakes are really, really high for everyone on that stage,” said Myer Siemiatycki, professor emeritus of politics at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). Moderated by Star city hall columnist Edward Keenan and taking place at TMU’s Ted Rogers School of Management, the event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and will be livestreamed at thestar.com and broadcast on CP24. Bozinoff predicted Wednesday’s debate could be the last best chance for mayoral hopefuls hoping to overtake Chow to put forward a grand idea that will capture voters’ imagination. Ben Spurr is a Toronto-based reporter covering city hall and municipal politics for the Star.

Senators in Minnesota passed a bill Saturday, May 20, 2023, that would legalize recreational marijuana for people over the age of 21, making it the 23rd state to legalize adult-use cannabis. Tim Walz signed a bill Tuesday to legalize recreational marijuana for people over the age of 21 starting in August, making Minnesota the 23rd state to legalize the substance for adults. Among them was one of the first governors in the U.S. to openly support marijuana legalization. In 2021, the Democratic-controlled House passed a legalization bill with several Republicans voting yes, but the GOP-controlled Senate never gave it a vote. Last year, the Legislature passed a bill legalizing THC in edible or drinkable form if it’s derived from hemp.

Other notable unrestricted free agents for the Stars include Joel Kiviranta, Luke Glendening, Joel Hanley and Fredrik Olofsson, who played well in Games 4 and 5 for Dallas. Here’s a list of free agents, per Spotrac, so the Stars can make their wish list. Just keep this in mind: money is tight, so don’t start envisioning Patrick Kane in Dallas Stars green. Depending on free agency, the Stars could be forced into using Bourque, the team’s 2020 first round pick, to start next season. Another cost-saving maneuver could be more time for Nils Lundkvist, who played in 60 regular season games this season, but didn’t appear in the postseason.

The email referenced costumes related to Indigenous people, but not blackface, which Surlan says he wasn’t familiar with at the time. Before students arrived, he put a blue medical mask on beneath the black mask. When class started he found it tough to breathe, so he removed the black mask and left the blue one. She told him students were upset that he was in blackface and Surlan appeared shocked and confused. That day, photos of Surlan in blackface began circulating on social media, parents started complaining and media made inquiries.

One would hope that books and literature would be free from attack but, alas, that’s simply not the case. Most of the condemned books dealt with LGBTQIA issues, or the origins and problems of racism. Perhaps Canadian national leaders don’t support all this but they know their electoral base, and they empower all sorts of unsavoury ideas and actions. If anything should be banned, it’s ignorance, fear, and hatred. Perhaps that’ll be next on the list of prohibited books, unless read with reactionary and dangerous blinkers.

Thankfully, there are tools that can help track down sources of methane emissions. Other researchers have already been using satellites to monitor methane emissions around the world. Using the Tropomi, or Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument, on the craft, researchers identified broad areas of interest that could be a source of higher methane emissions. The data revealed gas leaks from wells in the US, as well as emissions from pipelines feeding gas from Russia to Europe. The First StepSatellites are a great tool to hunt for methane emissions.

The Clean Energy Alliance, the community energy program based in North County, is looking for a new chief executive officer. By the time the expansion is complete, the Clean Energy Alliance will be the 10th largest community energy program in California. With that growth, Boswell said the alliance needs a CEO based in the San Diego region. Known as CEA for short, the Clean Energy Alliance began serving 60,000 customer accounts in Carlsbad, Del Mar and Solana Beach in May 2021. The firm also recruited the CEO for San Diego Community Power, the community choice energy program that encompasses San Diego, Chula Vista, Encinitas, La Mesa, Imperial Beach and on April 1 added National City and unincorporated areas of San Diego County.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling on the Liberal government to replace David Johnston as the special rapporteur into foreign interference, but he won’t withdraw his support for the government if they fail to listen. “We believe a public inquiry, the rigour and the scrutiny of a public inquiry, is the only path to re-instill confidence in our electoral system,” he said. Johnston recommended against a public inquiry, citing the secret nature of the information, which he argued would force any public inquiry to operate largely behind closed doors. He said the media reports about interference lacked key information and he suggested opposition leaders should get classified briefings so they can see the same intelligence he saw. “I’m not able to disclose the details of how that foreign interference applies to me specifically for national security reasons,” she said.
