  1. He made me wear a bikini around the office for three months! Tripled my sales~
  2. That's an opinion. Not peer-reviewed academia. You don't understand anything. I'm done.
  3. This is just a lie you tell yourself.
  4. You don't understand academia. Your evidence is n=1. You don't want to hear anything that disagrees with your opinion. Please link a peer-reviewed academic article that supports your opinion that low wages are good. But, you won't be able to, so you'll attack real evidence and just believe whatever you want. All data is collected from the "real world".
  5. He was ten feet tall if he was a foot! His shoulders were as wide as Portage Avenue and his beard carried the entire Bomber practice roster.
  6. The pictures with the Leg in the background are awesome. When I'm sitting in traffic between the Leg and the Canada Life buildings, I try to imagine what it would be like having a modern stadium on that property. That whole area would be very different.
  7. Typical. Always "me first". You expect everyone else to make up for your not paying a living wage. But, then, will complain when the cost of social services goes up. Always downloading costs to everyone else.
  8. Except, of course, the evidence suggests that raising minimum wage has a net positive impact on the economy. I've heard the right wing talking points my entire life about lowering taxes and not being able to raise wages, yet, every time it happens, you can see a net positive impact on the economy. Pulling people out of poverty should be a goal of all levels of government. I wish gov't would raise the minimum wage significantly or just tax businesses appropriately. Perhaps you want to read some academic papers on the subject. Here's a link (and quote) from The Star's coverage of David Card. You will note that he won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work. You can dig deeper, if you choose. In awarding Canadian economist David Card the Nobel Prize in economics, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has given a huge boost to the value of empirical study in the field of labour economics. For it was Card, working alongside American economist Alan Krueger, who put real world wage increases in New Jersey under the microscope and found no support for the theory that a rise in the minimum wage reduced employment. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorials/2021/10/12/ford-government-should-dump-old-school-thinking-on-minimum-wage.html
  9. Yup. https://www.glassdoor.ca/job-listing/retail-manager-goodlocal-JV_IC2286709_KO0,14_KE15,24.htm?jl=1007895223773
  10. I thought they were revamping it? They just had a manager position posted for $13 an hour. Good Local cleaned out the pool of funds intended to help small businesses.
  11. I might have missed the evaluation on Nick Hallett but I don't think he looked particularly good Friday night, although, the game film may show something different.
  12. The players need rest too. That's a quick turnaround from Friday to Tuesday. MOS was uncertain about who they would field following the game Friday. I'm a bit surprised that Collaros won't even see a Quarter in pre-season but he must not need it. They just need to work their way back there in November.
  13. The Hawk! So sad. I'm a big fan of The Band and have a few albums when the Hawks were with him. Larger than life character from the deep south, who fell in love with Canada. Here's the Hawk performing with The Band during their legendary last concert (The Last Dance).
  14. Went to fan fest today. I totally Mourtada'd a FG kick. Boink, off the upright! I've cut myself already.
  15. It's totally not a racist thing to be obsessed with guns to "defend" yourself.
  16. Prokup looked good until he threw the ball. He looked confident under centre stepped back, moved around to create time then just completely missed open targets. But, he was our holder. Does that mean he's our QB3?
  17. They did, in fact, hand out rosters at the game. It was a godsend for trying to figure out who was who.
  18. Let's wait and see what he does with L(k)'s first. I'm not sold.
