Why the need to be resource producing when Trudeau can tax Canadians to death. Literally & figuratively.

If they can't get government support or afford to build a proper stadium then why bother? I think what's happened now is Randy Ambrosie is in this so deep & has taken the CFL along with him that to back off now would be a major black eye to both him & the CFL. So, they'll just forge ahead & damn the torpedos. They'll handle a financial crisis when it occurs so no sense worrying about it now. I just can't see this team competing for free agents or for them to ever sell out consistently. We'll be seeing crowds of 16,000 at their home games & the team will be another burden to the other 8 teams. I didn't include Toronto as they're already a burden to everyone else. Ambrosie is talking about a LDW Coast Bowl with the Lions. They must be thrilled knowing they'll be forced to fly 2/3 of the way to London over 5 time zones to play that game against an opponent who'll never be a serious rival.

In the meantime, a pretty decent discussion.

There will be hell to pay if it isn't.

Funny how Frosty says that no one wants higher oil prices at the pump when the federal carbon tax is set to take effect tomorrow. We're all paying more thanks to progressives like Trudeau & Notley & if Frosty thinks it's bad now just wait until 2022. The only ones I see not upset & happy to pay a carbon tax are mostly single, young Millennial progressives that drink the orange or red kool aid of the NDP & Liberals. The low income, the fixed income seniors on CPP or the disabled, young families will all suffer. Governments are all taking their piece of our wallets & don't even apologize for it. While Trudeau flies around the world on private jets taking expensive holidays, going to unnecessary global UN conferences or hanging out with his friends the political elites in Europe & New York. We pay & pay & pay more.

I didn't think there was any more ways to do a stadium on the cheap but they sure found it. We'll fund it for 12,000 seats & you guys do the rest. Just add another 14,000 seats. Four thousand of those temporary. Ambrosie will give them a Grey Cup as well. A 26,000 seat Grey Cup. The smallest since the mid 1950's.

What are you talking about?

Absolutely. Trudeau is hell bent on shutting down the energy industry.

It's not the saving but a lack of caring. When 2,500 jobs were lost in Oshawa by GM closing the plant down, there's Andrew Scheer playing to the voters in Ontario demanding & getting an emergency sitting of the H of C. Even though there's nothing any politician could have done as GM's corporate mind was already made up. That emergency sitting has never occurred for the energy workers & others in subsidiary industries where people lost their jobs in BC, Alberta & Saskatchewan. Why because the Conservatives know they still have the votes in Western Canada & Trudeau doesn't care as he knows The West is a wilderness for the federal Liberals.

Manziel is so ******.

Forget the 100,000 jobs lost in Alberta but Trudeau is an MP from Quebec FIRST & the 9,000 SNC Lavalin jobs are sacred & MUST BE SAVED so his re-electon will be guaranteed. Nothing else matters. No one else matters. Quebec is such a repugnant & corrupt province.

No doubt she gets back in. If she's kicked out of caucus it'll be interesting to see what happens to Trudeau.

Willard Reaves was a great back. Absolutely dominated his position in the CFL & was feared as he could deliver some punishing hits as a back & was strong enough to run over tacklers. On the next play he could finesse, dangle a tackler & then explode by him. He also had the advantage of a great OL blocking for him. Loved watching guys like Reaves, Miller & others play as they were all deserving of the praise heaped on them. However, I was fortunate enough to see Dave Raimey play. He played on a very bad football team. He didn't have the luxury of a great OL opening holes for him. Matter of fact, the OL that played in front of him was the worst in the CFL from 1967 thru the 1969 season. There wasn't a great qb calling the plays as Ken Ploen had retired to be replaced by the inept rookie John Schneider. There was no genius coordinator calling the plays just the hapless Joe Zaleski. Raimey had just one teammate who could be a threat as a receiver in flanker Ken Nielsen. That was it for the Bomber offense as far as personnel went. Raimey had to virtually do it all on his own. The result was he didn't have better stats than a number of other backs on this list. Yet between 1965 & the first 2 games of the 1969 season he rushed for almost 4,000 yards & was elected into the CFL HOF in 1989. That speaks volumes for a player stuck on not just a bad team at the time but a dreadful team! He was a CFL All Canadian in 1966 as well as a Western Conference All Star in 1965, 1966, 1967 & 1968 for Winnipeg. He was the CFL leading rusher in 1966. He was a dangerous kick returner as well with 3,234 KO yards for the Bombers. I know that this may sound like a cliche but he did put the Bombers on his back multiple times & carried that team as there was literally no one else that could do it. I don't see the nominees listed yet but once they are, he & Lewis will be my 2 choices. And no, Raimey was not an obscure player nor am I trying to impress anyone here with my knowledge. I'm trying to contribute & partake of that knowledge as I saw most of these players play. I known how good some of them were against their contemporaries. I too, am frustrated that a current player in Bryant won as a tackle over some other of the greats but it is what it is, I guess.

I was there in Oct 2014. There were people climbing out onto outcrops of rock at the North Face & taking huge risks. The bottom is 5,000 feet straight down in places. In others, if you fell maybe a rock sticking out would break your fall 1,200 feet down. Be interesting to see what the racial breakdown would be for deaths as the majority of the people being stupid on that day were Asian males.

The temp in the room must drop by a hundred degrees when she & Philpott enter. She's out to get Trudeau. Maybe have him removed as leader.

Noeller would like this story... In 1996, I got a part time job as an usher at the Saddledome. Not for hockey as I've never been a Flames fan but because I wanted to see the musical acts perform there. I saw Metallica, Kiss, Hootie & The Blowfish as well as the Hip, 54-40, Def Leppard & the Smashing Pumpkins. However, the main reason I wanted to work at The Saddledome was to see the Brier. So, I worked every event that year including the Brier. I actually walked down to the ice surface after the Thursday evening draw & it was awesome. I said hello to Eddie Werenich who also was down there. The championship game was Alberta vs Manitoba. Kevin Martin vs Vic Peters. During the second end I had to go down to pick something up in the Ushers Locker Room where we changed. There was a blackboard & no one was around so I quickly scribbled "Go Manitoba!!" as I was leaving & thought nothing of it. Just scribbled it for fun. Well.... No one saw me do it but an over exuberant supervisor's head exploded & he began looking for the culprit (me) by actually interrogating every usher as they stood at their stations throughout the Dome threatening to fire whoever did it. One of the ushers close by came over quickly & warned me that this idiot was out to find out whoever dared say "Go Manitoba!!" If he found out then it would mean instant termination. We're supposed to cheer for Alberta, doncha know??? Well, **** him. When he came to talk to me I just said I knew nothing of what happened. He said to me if he ever found out who did then they're gone. Just shook my head at the stupidity & bullying by some 23 year old punk. Anyway, Manitoba lost but it still was worth it seeing this guy going crazy. He never did find out that it was me. For the rest of the year, I'd just smile at him behind his back & chuckle.

Now some in the media & on social media are focusing on JWR taping conversations. That Wernick was unaware & that as a lawyer she knew it was wrong. Trying to twist it in Trudeau's favour. How does she stay in the Liberal caucus? She must be hated.

Whoa.

If Taylor is that good then why are stuck with the gawd awful Rod Black? Why can't TSN get rid of him & bring in new blood? Get that fricking fracking dinosaur off sucking the life out of me on my 50 inch tv screen.

No. Saying thanks for the donation was the wrong thing to say. Then talking about his government's reconciliation success while being heckled & two protestors were being dragged out was arrogant. Trudeau was trying to be condescending & snotty. It backfired.

Long time.

When was the last time a team from Manitoba won the Brier? I could care less if Koe wins or not.

LOL

I laughed every time he got squashed. I was very concerned for the well being of Frankie. Not Koko Beware.
