Country is in far better Shape under Harper than it would have been otherwise. The blind hate for the scary Harper is laughable. Anyone but Harper? Let's hope he's PM for another five years at least.

2As we all know though, just because you belong somewhere doesn't mean you are going to be there, so with just over six months until next season kicks off, the "belonging here" work should be happening in earnest.

I used to work for Canad Inns and wasnt a big fan of certain things.  I find this very interesting and not at all surprising.
 
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/crocus-asks-court-to-sell-off-canad-inns-assets-1.2849321
 
The receiver for the failed Crocus Fund is asking a court to dissolve and liquidate the parent company of Canad Inns so it can recover a 15-year-old investment.
It is also accusing company president Leo Ledohowski of not acting honestly and in good faith and alleges that Canad Corporation assets are wrongfully being diverted for Ledohowski’s benefit.
“Leo has exercised unfettered, autocratic control over the business and affairs of Canad without regard to the Applicant’s interests as a shareholder of Canad,” Crocus says.
In an application filed in June, Crocus says it is is seeking  to recover the “fair value” of its 16 per cent stake in Canad Corporation Ltd. so that it can reimburse 34,000 Crocus Fund investors.
The fund was forced into receivership a decade ago, and its receiver has been trying to recover funds ever since.
Crocus Fund paid $5 million for the stake 1999. Canad Inns has grown significantly since that initial investment.
Province's largest food, beverage operatorCanad Inns owns about a dozen hotel complexes in Manitoba and North Dakota, as well as Tavern United, Garbonzo’s Pizza Pub and the Metropolitan Entertainment Centre. It is the province's largest food and beverage operator, with more than 37,000 seats in its restaurants and clubs.
Canad Corporation’s income before shareholder management fees and amortization went from $3.8 million in 2000 to $6.5 million in 2013, according to court filings.
According to court documents filed by the receiver, Canad Corporation Ltd.has not paid Crocus anything since 2003.
On top of the liquidation order, Crocus seeks detailed financial information from Canad and Ledohowski, including audited financial statements, monthly reports and a breakdown of Ledohowski’s expenses.
This information has never been revealed publicly, since Canad is a privately held company.
Steven Peleck, senior vice-president of Deloitte Restructuring, stated in an affidavit that Canad has “systematically refused” to pay out bonus, dividends and other payments since 2003.
He added that the profitability of the company was similar and in excess to the years when Crocus received dividends and bonuses.
“Canad has elected to wrongfully divert funds to the direct or indirect benefit of Leo [Ledohowski],” Peleck stated in his affidavit.
Peleck also pointed to multiple loans between Canad and Ledohowski’s holding company as being outside “normal commercial terms” for arm’s-length parties.
$6.3M loaned to companyCanad loaned $6.3 million interest-free to Ledohowski’s holding company while Canad owed that same holding company $800,000 bearing interest at eight per cent, according to the affidavit.
The interest on the loan was waived or deferred over the years.
Crocus also argued that Ledohowski is not entitled to more than half a million dollars in fees he was paid in 2012 and 2013.
Crocus also requested that Canad stop making any further payments to Ledohowski “in excess of the amounts to which Leo [Ledohowski] was and is properly entitled” based on the shareholder agreement signed between Crocus and Canad in 1999.
Ledohowski’s lawyer, Beth Eva, declined an interview because this matter is before the court. She said the application by Crocus will be defended.
His lawyers asked for large portions of the Peleck affidavit to be expunged because they contain “argument, legal interpretations and conclusions” which are based on “hearsay, double hearsay and speculation.”
Canad Corporation is the last investment the Crocus Fund hopes to recover on behalf of shareholders.
Crocus recently completed its third interim payment to shareholders.
The fund says it does not know when or if any more money will be provided to shareholders.
 

If you haven't seen this, you should. 
 
one of the funniest ads I've seen
 

Exactly.  Nothing good has come out of SNL in the past 10-15 years.

Interesting tidbits regarding the offensive coaches near the end of this article from Bob Irving. Also noteworthy is that Bob Wylie is expected to return...I wonder if it's full-time or part-time?
Here's the full link: http://m.cfl.ca/article/irving-oshea-etch-couldnt-reach-compromise.
Irving: O'Shea, 'Etch' couldn't reach compromise
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers' season ended on Nov. 1, 2014. 47 days later, after much agonizing and discussion, Mike O'Shea made the most difficult call of his one-year tenure as head coach of the Bombers when he fired defensive co-ordinator Gary Etcheverry.
Given the time it took, fair to say it wasn't an easy decision. Firing friends, people you respect, never is. O'Shea says he had many discussions with Etcheverry about altering his defensive philosophy but none met with his satisfaction.
"It was a long process of evaluation and lots of time spent with Etch trying to come up with a good solution going forward," said O'Shea. "In the end, the number of changes I was going to ask Etch to make, I just felt he wasn't going to be able to truly believe in the solutions I wanted."
Etcheverry runs what could best be called an unusual and unorthodox defensive scheme which features multiples of odd-looking and off-balance defensive fronts, and which doesn't include a playbook of any kind. It's the same kind of defence he has run during his decade with various CFL clubs, and for the first half of the 2014 CFL season, it was effective enough to allow the Bombers to post a 6-3 mid-season record.
But as the losses mounted in the second half, so did the yards rushing against the Winnipeg defence, and when the season ended, the Bombers were dead last in the league in points allowed and rushing yards allowed. Etcheverry's defensive philosophy had gone from being 'quirky' to 'disastrous'.
O'Shea said he hopes to hire a new defensive co-ordinator "sooner rather than later. At the same time I don't feel like we are in any rush. We do have time."
The two leading candidates are no secret to anyone. Recently fired BC head coach Mike Benevides, who has years of experience working with defences, and long-time CFL coach Richie Hall will be the first candidates O'Shea talks to (if he hasn't already!).
And Hall, who was shunted aside as Saskatchewan's defensive co-ordinator, would have to be considered the leading contender. Hall has a wealth of experience as both a player and coach, he is respected by all, and he runs the traditional type of defence that O'Shea is looking for. O'Shea said the future of the rest of the Bombers defensive coaches would be in the hands of the new co-ordinator.
Meanwhile, O'Shea removed any type of cloud that might have been hanging over Marcel Bellefeuille's head by stating that Bellefeuille would be back as the Bombers offensive co-ordinator.
Receivers coach Markus Howell and offensive line coach Bob Wylie are also expected to return, but what happens with quarterbacks coach Gene Dahlquist is uncertain. Dahlquist joined the Bombers from the U.S. college ranks in 21014 with no CFL experience.
Logic might suggest that running backs coach Buck Pierce, who retired at the end of the 2013 season after playing the quarterback position for eight CFL seasons, might be a better choice to tutor Winnipeg's young quarterbacks Drew Willy and Robert Marve.

Speaking of defending themselves... Then there's Jan Ghomeshi. Wonder if he thought 8 women & counting would speak out after he throws a $55 million lawsuit out at the CBC? Pretty evident that the lawsuit is nothing but a smokescreen to scare accusers off. Didn't work, Now back to our regular discussion. 

Im sure everyone knows the details.
 
Personally, I had no desire to see The interview but I was going to go see it until it was pulled.  I would have seen it and I would have gladly publicly said when and where.  Its too bad there was never any release because I'd love to see mass viewings of the film as a protest.  It's ludicrous that North Korea of all places is threatening companies into submission.  The fact they threatened to kill people and bring about 9/11 like attacks should be enough to get a very strong response from the US.
 
I just read this interview with George Clooney and he's 100% correct:
 
http://deadline.com/2014/12/george-clooney-sony-hollywood-cowardice-north-korea-cyberattack-petition-1201329988/
 
DEADLINE: How could this have happened, that terrorists achieved their aim of cancelling a major studio film? We watched it unfold, but how many people realized that Sony legitimately was under attack?
GEORGE CLOONEY: A good portion of the press abdicated its real duty. They played the fiddle while Rome burned. There was a real story going on. With just a little bit of work, you could have found out that it wasn’t just probably North Korea; it was North Korea. The Guardians of Peace is a phrase that Nixon used when he visited China. When asked why he was helping South Korea, he said it was because we are the Guardians of Peace. Here, we’re talking about an actual country deciding what content we’re going to have. This affects not just movies, this affects every part of business that we have. That’s the truth. What happens if a newsroom decides to go with a story, and a country or an individual or corporation decides they don’t like it? Forget the hacking part of it. You have someone threaten to blow up buildings, and all of a sudden everybody has to bow down. Sony didn’t pull the movie because they were scared; they pulled the movie because all the theaters said they were not going to run it. And they said they were not going to run it because they talked to their lawyers and those lawyers said if somebody dies in one of these, then you’re going to be responsible.
 
We have a new paradigm, a new reality, and we’re going to have to come to real terms with it all the way down the line. This was a dumb comedy that was about to come out. With the First Amendment, you’re never protecting Jefferson; it’s usually protecting some guy who’s burning a flag or doing something stupid. This is a silly comedy, but the truth is, what it now says about us is a whole lot. We have a responsibility to stand up against this. That’s not just Sony, but all of us, including my good friends in the press who have the responsibility to be asking themselves: What was important? What was the important story to be covering here? The hacking is terrible because of the damage they did to all those people. Their medical records, that is a horrible thing, their Social Security numbers. Then, to turn around and threaten to blow people up and kill people, and just by that threat alone we change what we do for a living, that’s the actual definition of terrorism.
 
DEADLINE: I’ve been chasing the story of the petition you were circulating for a week now. Where is it, and how were these terrorists able to isolate Sony from the herd and make them so vulnerable?
CLOONEY: Here’s the brilliant thing they did. You embarrass them first, so that no one gets on your side. After the Obama joke, no one was going to get on the side of Amy, and so suddenly, everyone ran for the hills. Look, I can’t make an excuse for that joke, it is what it is, a terrible mistake. Having said that, it was used as a weapon of fear, not only for everyone to disassociate themselves from Amy but also to feel the fear themselves. They know what they themselves have written in their emails, and they’re afraid.
 
DEADLINE: What happened when you sent the petition, and who did you ask to sign it?
CLOONEY: It was a large number of people. It was sent to basically the heads of every place. They told Bryan Lourd, “I can’t sign this.” What? How can you not sign this? I’m not going to name anyone, that’s not what I’m here to do, but nobody signed the letter, which I’ll read to you right now.


On November 24 of this year, Sony Pictures was notified that it was the victim of a cyber attack, the effects of which is the most chilling and devastating of any cyber attack in the history of our country. Personal information including Social Security numbers, email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers and the full texts of emails of tens of thousands of Sony employees was leaked online in an effort to scare and terrorize these workers. The hackers have made both demands and threats. The demand that Sony halt the release of its upcoming comedy The Interview, a satirical film about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Their threats vary from personal—you better behave wisely—to threatening physical harm—not only you but your family is in danger. North Korea has not claimed credit for the attack but has praised the act, calling it a righteous deed and promising merciless measures if the film is released. Meanwhile the hackers insist in their statement that what they’ve done so far is only a small part of our further plan. This is not just an attack on Sony. It involves every studio, every network, every business and every individual in this country. That is why we fully support Sony’s decision not to submit to these hackers’ demands. We know that to give in to these criminals now will open the door for any group that would threaten freedom of expression, privacy and personal liberty. We hope these hackers are brought to justice but until they are, we will not stand in fear. We will stand together.
DEADLINE: That doesn’t sound like a hard paper to sign.
CLOONEY: All that it is basically saying is, we’re not going to give in to a ransom. As we watched one group be completely vilified, nobody stood up. Nobody took that stand. Now, I say this is a situation we are going to have to come to terms with, a new paradigm and a new way of handling our business. Because this could happen to an electric company, a car company, a newsroom. It could happen to anybody.
 
DEADLINE: You said you won’t name names, but how many people were asked and refused to sign? 
CLOONEY: It was a fairly large number. Having put together telethons where you have to get all the networks on board to do the telethon at the same time, the truth is once you get one or two, then everybody gets on board. It is a natural progression. So here, you get the first couple of people to sign it and … well, nobody wanted to be the first to sign on. Now, this isn’t finger-pointing on that. This is just where we are right now, how scared this industry has been made. Quite honestly, this would happen in any industry. I don’t know what the answer is, but what happened here is part of a much larger deal. A huge deal. And people are still talking about dumb emails. Understand what is going on right now, because the world just changed on your watch, and you weren’t even paying attention.
 
DEADLINE: What kind of constraints will this put on storytellers that want to shine a critical light on a place like Russia, for instance, with something like a movie about the polonium poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, the KGB officer who left and became an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin?
CLOONEY: What’s going to happen is, you’re going to have trouble finding distribution. In general, when you’re doing films like that, the ones that are critical, those aren’t going to be studio films anyway. Most of the movies that got us in trouble, we started out by raising the money independently. But to distribute, you’ve got to go to a studio, because they’re the ones that distribute movies. The truth is, you’re going to have a much harder time finding distribution now. And that’s a chilling effect. We should be in the position right now of going on offense with this. I just talked to Amy an hour ago. She wants to put that movie out. What do I do? My partner Grant Heslov and I had the conversation with her this morning. Bryan and I had the conversation with her last night. Stick it online. Do whatever you can to get this movie out. Not because everybody has to see the movie, but because I’m not going to be told we can’t see the movie. That’s the most important part. We cannot be told we can’t see something by Kim Jong-un, of all f*cking people.
 
DEADLINE: Some have pointed fingers at the media that feasted on these tawdry emails. Were they culpable in giving the terrorists a foothold, as Aaron Sorkin has said?
CLOONEY: I do know something about the news world. I was sitting on the floors of newsrooms since I was seven years old, and I’ve been around them my whole life. I understand that someone looks at a story with famous people in it and you want to put it out. OK. It’s a drag, and it’s lame. But there’s not much you can do about it. You can’t legislate good taste. The problem is that what happened was, while all of that was going on, there was a huge news story that no one was really tracking. They were just enjoying all the salacious **** instead of saying, “Wait a minute, is this really North Korea? And if it is, are we really going to bow to that?” You could point fingers at Sony pulling the film, but they didn’t have any theaters, they all pulled out. By the way, the other studios were probably very happy because they had movies of their own going in for Christmas at the same cineplexes. There’s this constant circle, this feeding frenzy. What I’m concerned about is content. I’m concerned that content now is constantly going to be judged on a different level. And that’s a terrible thing to do. What we don’t need happening in any of our industries is censorship. The FBI guys said this could have happened to our government. That’s how good these guys were. It’s a serious moment in time that needs to be addressed seriously, as opposed to frivolously. That’s what is most important here.
 
DEADLINE: As Amy and Michael took their turn in the barrel because of these emails, some questioned why they’d approve a movie that ends with the death of a standing dictator in a hostile foreign country. Others have said she should be able to make any film she wants. It’s a satire. What do you think?
CLOONEY: The South Park guys did it. They blew up his father’s head. The truth of the matter is, of course you should be able to make any movie you want. And, you should take the ramifications for it. Meaning, people can boycott the movie and not go see your film. They can say they’ll never see a Sony movie again. That’s all fine. That’s the risk you take for the decision you make. But to say we’re going to make you pull it. We’re going to censor you. That’s a whole other game. That is playing in some serious waters and it’s a very dangerous pool.
 
DEADLINE: You mentioned Team America. Some theaters wanted to show it on Christmas after The Interview was pulled as a show of defiance and Paramount pulled it back. They too are afraid of being in the hacker cross hairs.
CLOONEY: Everybody is looking at this from self interest and they are right in this sense. I’m a movie theater and I say, “OK, there’s been a threat. Not really a credible threat, but there’s a threat, and my lawyers call and tell me, “Well, you run the movie and you could be liable.” And all the other movies around it are going to have their business hurt. I understand that, and it makes complete sense. But that’s where we really need to figure what the real response should be. I don’t know what that is yet. We should be talking about that and not pointing fingers at people right now. Right now, it’s not just our community but a lot of communities. We need to figure out, what are we going to do now — when we know the cyberattacks are real, and they’re state-sponsored.
 
DEADLINE: Knowing what we do now, what does the government owe Sony?
CLOONEY: I’ve seen statements they’ve put out and what the president said and what the response is. The truth is, it’s all new territory and nobody knows how to handle it. I don’t think anyone was prepared for it. So now we’ll be prepared for it, hopefully. Everybody was doing their jobs, but somehow, we have allowed North Korea to dictate content, and that is just insane.
DEADLINE: You said everyone acts based on self interest. What’s yours?
CLOONEY: I wanted to have the conversation because I’m worried about content. Frankly, I’m at an age where I’m not doing action films or romantic comedies. The movies we make are the ones with challenging content, and I don’t want to see it all just be superhero movies. Nothing wrong with them, but it’s nice for people to have other films out there.
 
 

The Blue Bombers have commissioned an official poll on this website to determine who the next DC will be.
Make sure you vote.
Discussion below.

Before the moment slips past, I would take the time to wish all and sundry who gather here the best of the season with peace and fulfillment in the new year.

There are some very intelligent people on here and Im curious to hear some "local" discussion.  What a sad and terrible situation down in MO.
 
These are my thoughts.
 
When I first heard of the shooting, I didnt pay much attention but I thought "wow, a cop went off on a kid, obviously very excessively".  Im no blanket supporter of the police and have had my fair share of interactions with cops, both good and bad, due to my past work. 
 
Then as I learned more, what struck me was the overwhelming outrage by people who very likely knew little about what actually happened.  It immediately became about race rather than justice.
 
Reading more today, I feel sorry for the legitimate protestors, though Im not sure I support the protestors.  A sad development was the signs some store owners have put up saying please dont loot my store, black owner.  Regardless of details surrounding this event, these things always set racial relations back, no matter what.  Emotions always come to the fore and facts get left behind.
 
CNN had a recent poll about the OJ Simpson trial.  I dont recall the exact details and numbers but it showed a huge majority of black people thought OJ was innocent at the time of the trial and now a majority believe he is guilty, in 2014.  When emotion gives way to facts, then justice can take hold.
 
Of the facts I have read, the story of the cop involved in Ferguson seems to be supported.  Its very delicate down there.  Two people were shot yesterday (I think) during protests (not by cops).  Its a powder keg.

What does everyone think the ramifications of the erosion of oil prices going to be? Like anyone, I don't mind saving a few bucks at the pump but am more concerned with the macroeconomic effects.
Everyone loved Carney but I'm not really sure why? He didn't really doing anything, let the Canadian currency jump up due to oil demand hurting manufacturing. I think that might leave us less poised to take advantage of a reduction in energy prices. Are we going to see a recession? Is this combined with an increase to interest rates going bring our housing market back to reality? I'm curious to know what everyone thinks. From what I understand, OPEC is going to try to pull a "Walmart" and price everyone else out of business before increasing prices again.

Has anyone been following the developments of this story today?
 
Goodell holds a press conference today saying all of the changes the NFL will make to correct the errors that were done in the Rice fiasco.  Shortly after that ESPN releases a story claiming that Goodell, the NFL, and the Ravens have been lying since the beginning.  That they had seen the video and worked hard to cover up the whole event.
 
It is a long read, but very interesting.   Titled Rice Case:  Purposeful Misdirection by team, scant Investigation by NFL
 
http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/11551518/how-ray-rice-scandal-unfolded-baltimore-ravens-roger-goodell-nfl
 
Apparently during his press conference, players were also tweeting out how they didn't believe Goodell, and didn't like what he was saying and ESPN was broadcasting the tweets during the press conference.
 

 

 
 
Be very interesting to see what happens to Goodell in the coming days.  Not sure he can really continue in his position.

Gord Steeves is a real brainiac.  We can debate Hobogate all we want to, but whomever advised him to wait a week to address it gave him very bad advice.  His bizarre presser at the time was another head scratcher.  He sighed heavily, looked defeated.  

When the poll came out showing him ahead of Bowman he implores Bowman to drop out so Judy has some competition.  Now that he's well behind Bowman, Steeves wont take his own advice.

His presser today with the poster that was straight out BS about Bowman's platform and his attacks on him are silly.  Steeves looks like a guy who doesnt know when to quit and whos ego wont let him do the right thing.  "If I cant win, Ill make sure Bowman doesnt either".  He seems content to try and beat Bowman rather than letting the right and left duke it out (and yeah we can debate that but whatever).
 
When Steeves abrubtly cancelled his Friday presser and all but disappeared from social media over the weekend, I thought he was going to do the right thing.  Nope.

Very disappointed in Steeves.  Not surprised, but disappointed.

Hope someone here can help.
 
I'm looking to get a new game system. Still playing the original xbox, but it's being flakey. Trouble is I only really like a few games and am stuck on what to move to.
 
About all I play on the xbox are KOTOR 1&2. But I play them a fair bit.
 
I've got an origianl Wii but don't really play it much.
 
Not really interested in online gaming as I don't play enough to not get my ass handed to me on a regular basis.
 
So wondering what is out there that is like KOTOR and what system I need to get to play it.
 
Any suggestions are welcome.
 
Thanks.

An old guy arrives at the Pearly Gates and immediately he sees two signs.
The first sign reads, MEN WHO WERE CONTROLLED BY THEIR WIVES.  The old man looks and sees that this line is, like, ten miles long.
So the old man looks at the second sign.  It read, MEN WHO WERE NOT CONTROLLED BY THEIR WIVES.  Lo and behold, there's only one guy in this line.  Slowly, the old man walks over to him.  'Tell me,' he says, 'why are you standing over here?  The guy looks at him and says, 'I don't know, my wife told me to'.

Anyone remember this?  I wasnt a basketball fan at the time or since so I only vaguely recall this.  Just insane.

Committee backed themselves into a corner moving TCU ahead of Florida State this week. Don't think there is a chance they miss the opportunity of Alabama vs FSU though if they beat G-Tech.
 
Baylor beat TCU, and they played virtually the same schedule, but the Big 12 will declare co-champions, hurting Baylor's case.
 
1. Bama
2. Oregon
3. TCU
4. FSU
5. Ohio State
6. Baylor

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah (even though it's over tonight), to all.  Hope you all have a great one tonight and tomorrow.

Did anyone else watch the game? You missed a great one if you didn't. The Bisons were down 37-18 in the second half but made some amazing plays on special teams and defence to claw their way back. It looked like Saskatchewan was going to take the lead late in the fourth quarter but an interception at our own five by Jordan Linnen was taken all the way back to the 10 yard line. On second and long the Bisons called a reverse option pass where Demski threw a touchdown to seal the deal.

A gunman has been killed in Ottawa after three separate shootings in the nation's capital that saw Parliament Hill locked down and gripped the city with fear.
Authorities confirmed shots had been fired inside Parliament, at the National War Memorial and near the Rideau Centre shopping mall. At least two people are reportedly injured.

WATCH LIVE NOW: View from the scene as it happens in Ottawa
Meanwhile, sources have confirmed to CTV News that a gunman has been killed. Ottawa police will not confirm if the three shootings are the work of a lone gunman.
Earlier Wednesday, a solider was shot at the War Memorial and a security guard was wounded at Parliament Hill, which remains under lockdown.
Video captured inside Parliament showed officers filing down the empty halls of the Hall of Honour as at least a dozen shots can be heard ringing out in the background.
Jason MacDonald, director of communications for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, tweeted that Harper is safe and has left the area.
The RCMP is advising people to stay away from the area, and people in downtown Ottawa to stay away from windows and off of roofs.
Several MPs also took to Twitter to say that they were safe. Several described what they had heard, and many said they were in hiding.
MP Tony Clement tweeted that at least 30 shots were heard from inside the building, close to where the Conservatives and the Liberals hold their weekly caucus meetings.
Police confirmed that they received a call about shots being fired just before 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning. They said a man believed to be a member of the Canadian Forces was shot at the National War Memorial.
Witnesses at the memorial told CTV News' Katie Simpson that they saw a man with long hair carrying a rifle and heard four shots fired.
One witness told her that he saw the man with the rifle then run towards Parliament Hill.
The shooting comes two days after a man attacked two Canadian soldiers in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. One of those soldiers died from his injuries. The suspect was shot and killed by police.
On Tuesday, Canada raised the domestic terror threat level from low to medium
