  1. You can retire from you fifth company at 50. That leaves you only 35 years to go until you can retire from work altogether. A tip: Have lots of kids. It may hurt the pocket book now but it will provide many places to live in the future. One of them is bound to appreciate your hard work and provide you a room in the basement.
  2. You're not special, millennial, despite what your ribbon says.
  3. Was it ever. And, Trouba showed good patience to move the puck to a better shooting angle.
  4. "Don't label me... blah, blah, blah..." Such a millennial thing to say!!😉
  5. 1981-1996, which is a HUGE, probably too long, range of time. Post-millennials are the real drain! 😉
  6. Yes, there was zero physical evidence just a very dodgy confession, that did not provide a reasonable explanation. The whole thing was crazy.
  7. As season 1 developed, I felt that we were not getting a full picture and that the documentarians (is that a word?) were steering the narrative. I never felt we saw a balanced view. Now, what we did see, seemed to be enough to throw the whole case and conviction into question. Also, now that this is a high profile case, it obviously sees a lot more attention and the outcomes are playing out in the national media. Not as many surprises. But, I still look forward to watching it. Thanks for the write up. I'll touch base when I get into it. (I'm still finishing the Ken Burns doc - Vietnam and Hip Hop Revolution just released season 2). I guess I just watch docs!
  8. Going to start very soon. Is it good? Am I going to be outraged and shake my fist at the TV?
  9. That's what I've been hearing too. Loki will be cool (I hope).
  10. It is different. It's kind of good but did get stale near the end of the first season. There's a few twists and turns and they carry like an ongoing narrative (and yet some things are kept in bottle episodes, which is weird). That being said, I flew through season one in less than a week, so I must have enjoyed it.
  11. Well, I said it to trigger TUP but he didn't take the bait. I wish we could find a better way to help sectors without direct bailouts, like to Bombardier. I see the need to invest when some industries are struggling or during bad economic situations but there must be a better way.
  12. It looks bad on the league. Really, the team relies on the police informing them of the arrests. I'm not sure that if Hughes was an Argo and this happened in TO, if anything different would have happened. Team still would have needed to suspend him. The schadenfreude would have been lower though. 😉 And, we're going to beat Calgary for us. Not for you. Riders can kiss my butt. I want you to get no joy in us beating the Stamps, cause we're coming for you soon!
  13. More people are moving downtown and, besides the new communities in the south end, it's the quickest growing neighbourhood in Winnipeg (or was in 2016). No one thing will make downtown appealing. It's a combination of new investment into housing and retail, along with entertainment, that will drive growth.
  14. Harper certainly screwed this one up. Too bad we're holding the bag.
  15. Good points. I would like to see league implement a strong policy against impaired driving. Every team deals with these issues.
  16. But he can't do the AAFL because he'll still be under contract until their season starts, correct?
  17. What do tickets need to run for the WHL? And average attendance? AHL kind of hits the sweet spot with pricing and young pro players. The direct link to the Jets is a huge bonus. As much fun as having an WHL team here, I wonder how they could make it work.
  18. I swear I heard someone on the local TSN radio station talking about how this may be the end of BLM in the CFL and he may head down south. Was I dreaming this? Is there a chance BLM leaves the CFL to go down south this offseason?
  19. Spoiler alert - these are Republicans. Have been for over 50 years.
  20. Iron Fist was bad and Luke Cage was not much better. They gave them a run and it didn't work out. I suspect there's also a bit of over-saturation, and there will be a bit of a vacuum after the Infinity Wars 2.
  21. You had one job. One! Now, we have to beat you this Friday and it's going to hurt you. You better not lose in BC.
