    The thinking goes - if we had fires and floods in the past, there's no way they could be caused by humans in any way. We see this logic in "the earth has always gone through periods of warming and cooling - this isn't caused by humans" Unfortunately people in power use this to prevent efforts to help with climate change. Really low-level thinking that I'm pretty sure is intentionally blinding at times (people cling to beliefs when reality means they have personal responsibility and their way of life needs to change) and is definitely used as propaganda.

    When we were living just south of Alberta, High River experienced its fourth catastrophic flood since 1950, each one worse than the last, with the last one creating horrendous property damage and taking the lives of three people immediately and many more later. Apparently each of the preceding floods was met with the identical response from the provincial government. First, politicians toured the area, wringing their hands and making promises to ensure this would never happen again. A committee was struck and disappeared from public view shortly thereafter. Months later, a report was issued detailing the causes and costs to correct them. The government made somber statements that the report would be given full consideration, and more months passed. Eventually, the minister responsible declared that this was a once-in-a-lifetime event , was terribly expensive to prevent it happening again but would be watched closely. Then the government shelved the report and retreated into a comatose state, refusing to answer any further questions as the whole thing was ancient history. We humans seem constitutionally incapable of learning from past mistakes.

    Of course they did. Remember what the "T" in "TSN" stands for...

  9. If true, weak lazy thinking not good enough, put some effort into it if you really want to strengthen the CFL.

    I don't wanna curb creative play, necessarily, but you absolutely have to make a guy think twice about embarrassing you like that. Someone to keep them honest. If you're gonna do something like that stupid lacrosse goal, you deserve to at least take a good hit.

    Most of society is a long way from being prepared for these changes. We are all clinging to those beliefs, to some extent. No one is exempt from this, it is the fabric of our current society.

  12. We just need a few more Buffs in the league. He actually rarely fought but highly entertaining and gave players something to think about while he was on the ice or chirping from the bench.

  14. I think its somewhere more in the middle that's needed. I've said before what I'm hoping to see when guys like Zegras doing those skilled lacrosse moves on ice and defensemen getting better at reading it to nicely catch the player cleanly under the chin with his shoulder sending him barreling backwards right before he tries to deposit the puck into the net. Then hearing Howie Meeker say, 'Now that's hockey'. Need that element of fear on the ice when a player tries these trick plays so he isn't 100% percent sure someone will not knock his block off.

    The earth certainly does and has gone through warming and cooling periods, many greater than what we are seeing or expecting. The thing that is ignored is that those fluctuations often wipe out species, civilizations, populations....... On top of that is most previous fluctuations have caused more local carnage. Because we are so dependent on other parts of the world , local damage in one part will have an effect thousands of miles away.The fact that humans are causing not only climate change but damage to fragile systems that will have domino effects is science. We are also vacuuming up resources at an insane pace. I don't agree with all of Jared Diamond 's writings but he is correct in his belief that civilization collapses are often triggered by issues in their environment. What the world has never seen is when that is world wide.

    I hear what you’re saying but I can’t stand some of players as well. They definitely read the press briefings as their heads get bigger and bigger and bigger.

    Did you hear about the new "Auston Matthews" cocktail? It's really good but no one has ever had more than one round. 😜

    Clear everyone out. This continues to be a mediocre team, led by mediocre players/management/ownership.

    I have no problem with the Leafs per se.... It's the fans I have an issue with. Social media, especially, has ruined the Leafs organization for me, which is sad because my father is one of those old school Leafs fans from the 60s/70s and I grew up at least partly a Leafs fan. But Christ... You go on Twitter, FB or any message board and the Leafs fans just ruin it for everyone. The worst.

    More scary than sad. It has been said that we get the government we deserve, so if the GOP gains power once again, America will be unrecognizable in a few months, and America will deserve it.

    Saw a recent interview on the news where an infectious disease specialist reminded that while a decent number of Canadians have had up to three doses (with a fourth being considered for some high risk groups), there are some parts of the world where people have not yet received any.

    I am a witness, I live on the edge of the massive wildfire and flooding disasters that hit BC within the last year, when I try to explain how terrifying this experience is to friends and family living in AB. and MB. they absolutely do not believe how serious the threat is. If you can't see the damage or choose to look away, it probably isn't real.
