"Gang Clearing Snow From Roads,” Montreal Star. November 3, 1932. Page 11. ---- 2000 Men at Work on Highways in Quebec Area ---- QUEBEC, Nov. 3— (Star Special) -Two thousand men were at work yesterday as wall as numerous tractors, and as a result of their efforts the Murray Bay road was reopened last night, as well as several other highways which were affected by Tuesday's snowstorm. 

The Murray Bay road, providing an opening to Chicoutimi, was reported open last night while the 40 mile stretch on the Perron Boulevard, between Ste. Agathe and Val Brillant in the Matapedia Valley, will probably be opened during the course of today.

Twelve inches of snow in the Laurentides National Park, falling on top of snow that occurred during the last three weeks, has closed this road to traffic of all kinds and fears were expressed by J. L. Boulanger, deputy Minister of Highways, last night that the road would remain closed. 

The north shore of the St Lawrence seems to have been hardest hit by the storm, for it was reported last night that all South Shore roads were open.

Not to make fun of my parent, but when you name your child after saint "had her breast cut off and is often shown holding a plate with her own boobies" you CANNOT be surprised when said child come out as transgender and want to cut his breast.

Like, if you didn't want me to have top surgery, maybe don't name me after saint top surgery.

I know for her it was to torture and not very transgender, but that's why i'm doing it, to redo the error of the past, and i'm sure she's very supportive

"ST. JOVITE BANK THUGS ESCAPE FROM POSSE," Montreal Star. June 2, 1933. Page 11. ---- Flight by Train Regarded As Probable ---- STE AGATHE, June 2 - (Star Special) - The whereabouts of the two men who on Monday held up and robbed the St. Jovite branch of the Bank of Montreal and have been pursued through the bush by a posse ever since are still a complete mystery. Even the use of keen-scented dogs by provincial police detectives working on the case has proved futile. The theory that the men have boarded train and thus escaped is held by most local people. They believe that otherwise it would have been impossible for the fugitives to elude constant hunting by the detectives and posse of mountain inhabitants. Sergeant-Detective Lasnier, who headed the hunt, returned to Montreal yesterday. Six other detectives are in charge.

The Chaussée de Gand in Molenbeek, Belgium.

This is an example of demographic jihad in the middle of Europe. The Chaussée is a very long road starting at Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, along the canal (Porte de Flandres), briefly running along the municipal border of Koekelberg, crossing the territory of Berchem-Sainte-Agathe and ending at the regional border. This had become Europe's Jihadi base, with a mosque on every block. Jihadis feel safe in the disorganized Kashba of Molenbeek. The highway and the city’s busiest international railroad station are a stone’s throw away. It’s the perfect logistical base.

Victor Announces Change to Succession...

...invoking rage from citizens of Windenburg.

(Official portrait of Emperor Victor)

In a press release shared from Winden Palace this morning, Emperor Victor announced a change to the order of succession for the New Windenburgian Imperial Throne. Previous to this morning the line was fairly straightforward for anyone familiar with the concept of primogeniture- inheritance is passed from parent to eldest child and then the eldest child's eldest child, etc. The heir to Windenburg had been thet late Crown Princess Martha, and following her sudden passing, it passed to her eldest child, Prince Eugene.

(Left- Official portrait of Prince Eugene. Right- Prince Eugene's marriage to Lady Mathilda Schmidt-Bauer)

The line of succession would then follow down to any children Prince Eugene may have had in the future with his new wife, Princess Mathilda, then through his sisters- Princess Emma and Princess Edaline- and their children, before going on to his uncle, Prince Jonas, and his children.

(Top left- Official portrait of Princess Emma. Top right- Official portrait of Prince Jonas. Bottom- Crown Princess Martha and Albert, Duke of Windslar, welcome Princess Edaline)

That however is no longer the case as of this morning. Emperor Victor has decided to throw tradition and reverence to the wind with the following statement:

"The new Order of Succession shall be as follows: The Imperial Throne shall pass to the sons of HIM Emperor Victor and his second wife, now to be known as Empress Adelheid, first and before all others. The claim shall then pass to the men who previously held it, the decendants of HIM's first wife, now to be known as Queen Agathe, and the heirs male of their body. That is- Prince Eugene, King Governor of Sulani, and the heirs male of his body, then Prince Jonas, King Governor of Tartosa, and the heirs male of his body. Heirs female are henceforth barred from the line of succession, as are all children they may bear (excepting the lineage of the aforementioned Prince Eugene)."

(Official portrait of Empress Agathe)

An uproar of anger has errupted in Windenburg in the wake of the press release for three main reasons; The biggest is the demotion of Empress Agathe to Queen Agathe, and the elevation of Queen Adelheid to Empress. There are huge swathes of support for Empress Agathe in Windenburg for her loyalty, dedication to her children, and her piousness. Many call her a saint, and are furious at the Emperor's treatment of her. They were already upset at Victor for taking a second wife, and abandoning Agathe in Sulani. But now this blatent demotion? And the usurpation of her children and grandchildren from their places in the succession? The Emperor may be about to have mass rioting on his hands.

(Emperor Victor and new wife Adelheid, expecting their first child)

The second reason is what the people see as the theft of a righteous son of Windenburg and the bestowing of honors on a bastard. The people are angry with Prince Eugene's loss as head of the line of succession. He has always been a darling of the people, a shy and studious child grown into a kind and loyal young man, and especially after the sudden death of his mother- another beloved of the people- he's grown even more precious in public opinion. To have him displaced in the line of succession by an unborn potential son by a woman who many see as just another mistress is a huge indignation to the citizens of Windenburg.

(Windslar family welcomes Princess Edaline- Prince Eugene, Albert, Duke of Windslar, Crown Princess Martha, and Princess Emma)

The final straw was the last part of the press release- that women and their offspring are barred from the succession. Windenburg has always followed the tradition of Absolute Promgeniture- meaning the eldest child inherits the throne, regardless of their gender. And that has led to Windenburg having many strong, powerful, and wise Queens in her history. For the Emperor to retract this now, especially so recently after the loss of his heir and daughter, has led to dozens of e-petitions and protests being organized online in just a mere matter of hours since the release of the statement.

(Emperor Victor marries second wife- Lady Adelheid von Hollebein)

It looks like things are not looking all too hot for the Windenburgian Emperor right now. Here's to (hopefully) all his castles crumbling soon.

If you were on the bachelorette what hockey boys would you want to be able to date and choose from? And who do you give your final rose to?

Hey Nonnie! This question has to be the most fun question I have ever received in my ask box. I have put too much thought into my list and the reasons why certain players would not be the recipient of my rose from night one to the final rose. So buckle up dashboard, you’re about to watch an entire season of my Bachelorette season in one post. Disclosure: I have not watched the Bachelor/Bachelorette in a very very long time. This is based on faded memories and quick google searches.

The First Night

At the end of the first night, the 25 contestants would become 15, with 10 NHL hotties failing to receive my affection in the form of a rose: 

Timo Meir - we know his reputation. This man is a womanizer, and it’s clear when he tried to go in for a kiss during our first conversation. But we’re here for love. For commitment. So he had to go. 

Pierre-Luc Dubois - speaking of commitment. This man doesn’t know the definition of that. He can’t commit to a team, he can’t commit to me. Au revoir.

Leon Draisaitl - this man is so intimidating to me. I wouldn’t have the confidence to pursue anything of any nature.  

Pat Maroon - his energy would be too much for me. Confident, successful, and ready to party. I wouldn’t be able to keep up. 

Luke Scheen - is a sweet guy, but wouldn’t do much to set himself apart from the rest. 

Josh Anderson - would have flashed his abs at least once during the night - and I would have noticed but it wouldn't be enough to set him apart from the rest of the guys who go the extra mile to set themselves apart. 

Nico Hischier - a sweet guy. Very gentlemanly. But he’s a little young for me so he doesn’t receive a rose. 

Auston Matthews - Auston would come in so confident he would come off as cocky. Would brag about his friendship with Justin Beiber and would come dressed in an expensive sweatsuit instead of a suit like the other contestant. Would not be a vibe. 

Brendan Lemieux - during the first night. Brendan Lemieux and Matthew Tkachuk got into a physical altercation regarding the biting incident with Brady Tkachuk. Production wanted to kick them both off the show, but instead, they were allowed to stay until the end of the night where Tkachuk was the only one of the two to receive the rose. 

Pytor Kochetkov - my sweet sweet Pytor. He would have needed Svechnikov to translate for him all night. So kind and sweet, but the language barrier was strong and Svechnikov would have needed to be a constant third wheel to make it work - plus he’s kind I can’t decide if he is baby brother vibes or not. He would not receive the final rose of the evening. 

Season Highlights

Andrei Svechnikov secured the first kiss on the first night with his charm, maturity and his kindness in helping Pytor through the night when he could have been selfish 

Andrei also received the first rose of the season before the first rose ceremony was held

Vince Dunn would be a quick fan favorite but not without controversy - there would be a call to action from fans that wanted him to be sent home but he would remain on the show after making a public apology at the rose ceremony

Anthony Beauvillier and Mat Barzal would go on a 2 on 1 date with me, some kind of outdoorsy thing with paddleboarding and it would have been a great time BUT they would both go home that same night after Beauvillier refuses the rose on the date. Their friendship ultimately gets in the way of their pursuit of love

Ross Colton would fail to receive a rose after a group date that involved an extensive hike in the wilderness

Tkachuk would continue to be an instigator for the season starting conflicts and pushing the buttons of other contenders. It would lead to Tom Wilson and Matt Martin not receiving roses but he would be the one not to receive a rose when a conflict with Lowry would arise. Lowry would receive the final rose that night, sending Tkachuk home. 

Chris Kreider would try to propose midseason and his eagerness and willingness to commit so early would be a red flag, he would not receive a rose at the following ceremony

After regret and complications, Ross Colton would be welcomed back onto the show as I would feel like failing to give him a rose was a mistake

With the welcoming back of Ross to the show, William Nylander would be sent home as a result

On a 1 on 1 date with Brady Skeji things would look to become more intimate than it actually was and viewers would be shocked when he would not receive a rose later than night

During what would be the rose ceremony that would bring it down to the final 4 it is revealed that it would be a final 5 with only 7 contenders remaining: Ross Colton, Anthony Cirelli, Adam Lowry, Andrei Svechnikov, Brayden Point, Jeremy Swayman and Vince Dunn

Viewers would be shocked when Anthony Cirelli would receive the final rose before the final four over Brayden Point who had been a front-runner for your heart since night one

The Final Five

Usually the final four, but would be changed last minute as I struggled to make the decision, it would be time to travel and meet the families of the final 5 contestants. 

Ross Colton - the trip would take me to New Jersey where I would meet his parents and his brother Rob. They would be welcoming, and kind, but it would be very clear how many worlds apart we are and it would plant some insecurities of just how well I would be able to fit into their lifestyle and expectations. 

Anthony Cirelli - back in Canada, I would meet his family, and very importantly Grandma Cirelli who is known for her tomato sauce. We would cook a meal together in their family kitchen - and she would approve of my cooking. 

Vince Dunn - A mere hour away from where we visited Tony’s family, I would meet Dunn’s. It’s a smaller city and feels familiar to what I’ve grown up in BUT everyone seems to know him there. It’s weird being there with a local celebrity because there is no just blending into a big city here. His family would be as kind and welcoming as the others, and I’d get to see more of his emotional side that we would have seen glimmer off throughout the season.

Adam Lowry - in Calgary we would meet his family, a very strong hockey family, with his dad having played and coached and his brother having played as well. It’s their lives, and will always be a part of it. We would see just how good he is with his nieces and nephews and go to see the mountains in Banff. 

Andrei Svechnikov - the final trip would take me to Russia where I would meet his parents, his brother and his brother’s family. It would be a breathtaking trip, one like any other seen on the show but it would be conflicting as his mother would show her concerns. I would not be what his mother imagined for her sweet boy, and her approval is very important to him. And the larger age gap would be revisited. 

After the trips, it would come to the rose ceremony that would bring the final 5 down to the final two. That night, Andrei would fail to receive a rose, the age gap and the pressure of his mother being too much. Ross, while an obvious favourite for the majority of the season would not receive a rose, the high maintenance feel of his family too much and too intimidating to commit to at that moment - and the goodbye is one not without tears. The viewers would be shocked again when Tony would receive the final rose, sending Lowry back to the off-season. His familiar pressure of their legacy all too much even though seeing him with his nephews would given me absolute baby fever. 

Then only two remained: Anthony Cirelli and Vince Dunn. 

The Final Rose

The final rose would be one of great controversy with lots of viewers seeming to think I was making a mistake moving forward with my final two. That I had greater chemistry with other players that I had sent walking and that whoever I chose would be a decision made in regret. But I was left to make the choice between the two final contenders. Anthony Cirelli. The sweet, respectable boy from Vaughn. Who maybe wasn’t as traditionally handsome as the other contestants - but I’m a sucker for those curls. Who loves Kygo and partying in Miami but will always value his family and their traditions above all else. 

And then there was Vince. The mildly problematic, handsome man - who also has those oh-so-dangerous curls and those bright eyes. He can be wild, but also sweet - and always so intense with emotions that you can see so clearly written across his face. A man who can enjoy the outdoors as much as a night at the club. 

And while Tony and Ross both very clearly have a piece of my heart I need a man who is going to be able to go out there and enjoy nature with me. Someone who won’t care that I don’t spend an hour in front of the mirror to do my hair and my makeup every day. Someone who will love my cooking, and isn’t afraid of his emotions or to have tough conversations. 

And for those reasons, I would have to give my final rose to… Vince.
