  1. I have no troubles getting to the stadium for games, even going through the south entrance (where I need to enter to use my pass). Getting out, whole other story.
  2. Rapid transit will help a lot, provided access is granted to the buses used by Bombers. They'll have a clear corridor to move quickly from north to south and back. That will help those that park at the university, by removing loads of buses all trying to share the roads.
  3. Do school divisions have bus fleets or is that tendered out? I thought everything was being tendered out but maybe my assumption was incorrect?
  4. This seems correct. However, I think they hire Transit to provide logistics and on the ground support. There are some transit buses used as charters. I'm not sure what I would pay. $10 doesn't seem crazy but it's getting to my limit. My son rides for free. I have parking at the University if I choose; however, each time I've used it, it has taken me much longer to get home than the Park & Ride. MPI - Gotcha. Yes, it's another debate. But any sponsorship funds you add, likely pulls dollars from someplace else.
  5. Why? Every other league in the world is going. The IIHF is not going to cut it off just for juniors. Let the pros play.
  6. They want people in seats. If they make it more complicated to get people there, people will just stop going. They're doing what they can, with the resources they have, to help people get to the stadium. Why would the city want to rearrange their entire schedule just accommodate a bunch of Bomber fans? How much would that cost the city? I don't see what MPI has to do with this argument.
  7. There are no events that need to move that many people, in that timeframe, at late hours, that I can think of. I don't think there's anything comparable.
  8. I think it's more than $5 on Transit. $2.65 each way? You can't move that many people on the regular Transit in that time frame. Transit itself of subsidized. So when you're paying to get to the another event, the subsidy is built in.
  9. If Lawless says he starts, then I bet he dresses and doesn't start. He wasn't going to start tonight for the Moose, anyhow.
  10. Proof is just a collection of evidence. If there was no evidence, there would be no investigation led by the GOP.
  11. Bruins are in the playoffs now, with Stafford. Stafford is not the reason the Jets are not in the playoffs. He certainly was not going to help this team get into the playoffs but he wasn't anywhere near the biggest problem.
  12. I wonder if Comrie will dress for either game? I doubt he starts either.
  13. You said that there is no proof. You don't know that. I would imagine that election hacking would be considered a highly classified item and not generally released to the public.
  14. There isn't? You've seen the files? Please, let us know more. Or, is it that YOU have not seen any evidence, which is a far cry from "there's no proof"?
  15. They don't need anything from the players, that's my point. The NHL wants money, pure and simple. Go to the bank, the IOC.
  16. Kind of, I just went to save your picture and his name is in the file. However, I did this a long time ago. I've seen pictures of Feynman but always younger and always black and white. I didn't recognize him in your pic.
  17. That's a drop in the bucket. It's the IOC that makes the money, so the NHL should be negotiating with them. IIHF is paying the insurance, as they should.
  18. How? (I'm actually curious how the players benefit financially)
  19. Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Sin'ichirō Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965.
  20. They're not seeing a financial benefit from playing in the Olympics. I wasn't debating whether or not the CBA is fair. That's another argument.
  21. I'm not sure how they fix the CBA. I doubt they'll get more either. But they have more power than they think.
  22. How many players are getting 8x50 million dollar contracts. And really, they should all be paid $200,000 and be happy they play hockey for a living. Am I right? They signed an agreement and are living by it. They have the right to renegotiate once that deal expires.
  23. You're right. I made an overreaching statement. I edited my comments and pulled back but forgot this one. My apologizes. I would like to see some analysis done.
