After the departure of Kawhi Leonard in free agency, there were speculations about whether or not Siakam would be up to the task of delivering as Toronto’s franchise player.
The longer the game went on, the more comfortable Siakam appeared in asserting himself as he poured in 14 points in the fourth quarter before the ill-timed charge for his 6th and final foul with just under a minute left.

NORTH WEST PUBLIC INDEPENDENT CONCILIATOR

The PIC while addressing local masses in Wum Council area, Mr. Tamfu Fai, appealed to the government to create divisional representations.   In the Anglo-Saxon tradition, it is customary to set up independent authorities responsible for settling disputes between users and regional and council administration.

The office holder is by no means a legal authority or a judge, as the competences and powers entrusted to him are not of a legal nature.

Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room.   Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore.
