NHL Best Bets & Player Props (1/5/23): Brent Burns, Mika Zibanejad & More! NHL Player Props To TargetI’ve explained my philosophy on how I bet player props a few times now, but if you are new to my articles, it goes something like this. First, using our daily player projections, we can see this projects Burns for three shots on goal. I see this playing out well for Mika and would look at his anytime goal props as well, now I see a +146 on Fanduel as the best odds for that in my home state. Arrturi Lehkonen over 2.5 shots on goal at +110, at VancouverThis prop really should not be plus money right now.

Canadian agrifood infrastructure needs shock proofingOttawa—The country’s food supply chain has been designated as critical infrastructure but little has been done by governments to shockproof it from external pressures, says Kathleen Sullivan, CEO of Food and Beverage Canada. The result is that “maintaining Canada’s food infrastructure and supply chains falls largely to industry itself, a challenge that is complicated by the size and scope of industry,” she said. The recommendations of the National Supply Chain report should be implemented by the federal government to ensure a consistent and coordinated approach to support supply chain resilience for Canada’s food system. More automation, digitization and use of robotics would the industry although “we’re not going to see the equivalent of the self-driving car. The Supply Chain Report “repeats recommendations made by the agrifood economic strategy table back in 2018.

‘A disaster’: Speaker fight exposes GOP leadership vacuumNEW YORK (AP) — With House Republicans riven by infighting, unable to coalesce around a pick for speaker, former President Donald Trump had an emphatic message for the new GOP majority. Until a speaker is chosen, the elected representatives to the House cannot be sworn in, leaving Congress’ lower chamber in a suspended state of dysfunction. As one of the failed Republican House votes unfolded Wednesday, Biden appeared alongside Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell at a Kentucky event designed to highlight the bipartisan infrastructure package the Democratic president signed into law in 2021. By late spring, the Republican presidential nomination fight will begin in earnest, pitting ambitious candidates across the political spectrum against Trump in a fight for party supremacy. Christie suggested the new presidential primary season — set to play out over the next year and a half — is designed to determine the next generation of Republican leadership.

Saudi Arabia-financed LIV Golf and its feud with the PGA Tour has divided fans, tested players’ allegiances and sparked legal battles. The upstart has countered that the PGA Tour is secretly running a “smear campaign” to take it down. At the heart of the matter is the PGA Tour’s public-relations firm, Clout Public Affairs. LIV last month sued to enforce the subpoena, arguing that the PGA Tour had hired Clout in part to arrange for 9/11 families to protest at LIV events. LIV has said the PGA turned over evidence in the antitrust case demonstrating that it “organized and likely funded” the 9/11 families’ protests.

Independent investigationsThe OIPRD has been in charge of handling public complaints against the police since it was established in 2007. The Tulloch report found that only about a third of complaints investigations were conducted by the police watchdog. It highlighted this issue “as a major impediment to a good faith and impartial investigation.”A key recommendation was that complaints investigations should no longer be handled by police forces.
