  1. Ah, but using your logic, provided I don't believe in retirement, it doesn't exist and thus you'd never be able to retire.
  2. What? The information I provided for male/female dentists explicitly states that it only includes dentists that work full-time hours.
  3. Alright, I'm done - there's obviously no convincing you, respectfully I think we should just agree to disagree.
  4. Alright then, lets' remove even more factors. The NHS tables provide the wages by work category and can be split by gender: https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/dp-pd/dt-td/Rp-eng.cfm?TABID=2&LANG=E&APATH=3&DETAIL=0&DIM=0&FL=A&FREE=0&GC=0&GK=0&GRP=0&PID=106738&PRID=0&PTYPE=105277&S=0&SHOWALL=0&SUB=0&Temporal=2013&THEME=98&VID=0&VNAMEE=&VNAMEF= Using your example, if you look at dentists, the average male dentist, working full-time, not on maternity leave, earned $133,062 back in 2011. The average female dentist, also working full-time, not on maternity leave, earned $81,962. Note that dental hygienists have their own cohort, which even there males earn higher wages ($67,885 vs $55,816).
  5. Average earnings by gender, per Statistics Canada: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1110014301
  6. Of course there is a gender pay gap - the difficulty lies not in establishing and acknowledging its' existence... but in implementing proper economic policy to help close the gap.
  7. Guys... lets start Professional Organized New Zany International League and pitch it to Dundon see if he'll invest. We'll call it the PONZI League for short, I'm sure Dundon has another $250 million kicking around....
  8. The cracks in this league from inadequate talent are starting to show like a late night infomercial for a totally useless product that's been on the air for just a liiiiitle too long...
  9. I like how in the Riders' signing announcement proclaims he's a former Grey Cup champ. Yeah, from 2017 as a bench warmer playing in only five games...talk about grasping at straws.
  10. I understand your stance - but a business has to maintain some level of self-control, over-expansion can be just as dangerous as lack of brand recognition in markets. I would argue the US expansion diluted the CFL brand detrimentally, and pushed it further into the realm of "bush league" by American viewership..
  11. I'd like to present the court with Exhibit A: CFL's 1993 USA expansion.
  12. The Argos and Lions this FA:
  13. Yeah, he's been fantastic for the organization both on and off the field, as for free agency... I wonder how the recent flashy QB signings will affect the available cash remaining for other players...
  14. This sounds like an obscure new rule requirement from the AAF.
  15. I don't know about that, I think we were 0-0 this time last February as well...
  16. ...are we 2019 Grey Cup champions due to FA yet?
  17. If that was me I'd go with neither .... Jennings is a turnover machine and I doubt Ray would consider playing again without some serious coin. Try and find a diamond in the rough I guess?
  18. Highly recommended perusing of RiderFans,com to be had tonight gentlemen.
  19. With all this talk about WR... I'm just saying Chris Williams is a pending FA too
  20. Lmao Watford starts as QB by default.
  21. Yeah I'll concede Nichols gets a longer leash than warranted for sure... still stands though I can't see our head office chasing after either of BLM or MR. That's not to say they shouldn't, just that I don't think they will...
