BC has got the right to challenge this. They might legally be in the wrong according to most but they can still take it to court and the Supreme Court is the last stop. Horgan's not gonna say as long as he got the votes behind him.
Heck Sask is doing same thing with the federal carbon tax. Where are thou on that one Speedy?
Everybody has the right but it's a waste of taxpayer's money. Money that could be directed into social programs, health, infrastructure & education in BC is being thrown away to pay lawyers. You okay with that? Horgan has an unlimited amount of $$$ he can use but it isn't his. It's the taxpayers money not that it ever stopped politicians before. As far as Scott Moe goes in SK regarding his carbon tax fight with the feds, he'll lose as well. The difference is one is a national infrastructure program that got federal approval by the NEB to build a pipeline. The other is a province wanting to not have a carbon tax imposed on them by Ottawa. You can't compare the two. No province in Canadian history has ever opposed a federally approved infrastructure program before.

The only good thing about this mess... Les Quebecois are helping to pay for it.
Watch, SNC Lavalin will run this project for the Libs & money will go back to Quebec. They killed Energy East & Quebec will still get it's share & more. Trudeau & Morneau will see to that.

Not crazy about this. Still got to pay someone to build it.
but how did the Feds blow it? BC has a right to say no and take it to the Supreme Court. What the Feds should be doing is front lining this to the SC. AB/BC/Feds all want that.
Frosty, you really need to be a lot more informed before you say something like this. BC does not have the right. The pipeline is federal jurisdiction not provincial. It has been approved. There have been 17 separate court cases trying to assert aboriginal as well as provincial rights to stop the pipeline & they have lost every one.

Federal jurisdiction, pipeline has been approved, BC really doesn't have the right to say no. What BC has done is added to the burden of all Canadian taxpayers and they've sent out another sign that Canada is a poor place to invest.
Horgan dragged the rest of the country in & now we are on the hook for a minimum of $4.5 billion & probably a lot more. This was approved by the NEB & it went through a vigorous regulatory process. And the guy says he'll continue to waste BC taxpayers money with more ridiculous court cases. I'd love it if he & his province were faced with the spectre of having to pay back the $4.5 billion or more if they lost another court case. Then, you'd see him back off real fast. But things don't happen like that, I guess.

The biggest problem TSN has is that they try to be the entertainment rather than letting the game be the entertainment. They pick a player or a story of the night and never deviate from the script. It's awful broadcasting. They would be better off just calling the game as it is and letting the game tell the story.
Agree.

Things to agree on, or not, on Sunday:
👁🗨Mark Chapman, 1st round CFL draft pick, has not signed with the Ticats. Interesting decision to miss his first pro camp with Hamilton...
👁🗨Former NFL QB Josh Freeman is indeed that, having been both fired and retired. Another oopsie at recruiting for Montreal..
👁🗨 Nice to see and hear Chandler Fenner’s “kid-walks-into-a-candy-store-for-the first-time” attitude and excitement.. I liked the signing then, I like it even more now. Adding to this D’s versatility..
Don Landry reports on that infamous CFL Media poll: “Every team got at least one vote except for the Ottawa REDBLACKS”
CFL News - In the first pre-season game of 2018, neither Brandon Bridge nor newcomer Zach Collaros are currently in the plans at quarterback for Chris Jones and the Roughriders
👁🗨Why isn’t more being said about the questionable depth of the Ottawa RedBlacks QB stable?
William Arndt, Danny Collins, Dominique Davis and Trevor Harris.
And finally, CFL game day with Saskatchewan visiting the Eskimos.
CFL football is back!!
Regarding the qb depth of the RedBlacks behind Harris. The same could be said for the Bombers. It's alarming to think who may take the reigns if Nichols goes down. However, I'm not pointing fingers at Walters as he was blindsided by Durant 2 weeks ago. The situation we're in because of Durant wasn't our GM's fault. It certainly tells you about the character of DD, doesn't it? However, that being said... we all have to be concerned what would happen if Nichols suffered a serious injury. We're no better off than Ottawa.

I guess the Riders are starting 3 INT in the OL - LT Vaughn, RG Bond and RT Coleman
7 NAT starters will be - LG LaBatte, C Clark, RB Messam, WR Baggs, DT Evans, LB Hurl and S Brouillette
This really shows you howwellbad they drafted since Cheat Jones became their GMRider fans loved Hurl the first time. They're really going to love him now after Muamba.

TSN should broadcast the games on one of their 5 channels without any play-by-play or analysis, just the field mic. Hell if they offered that PPV I’d pay.
The average fan wants to be entertained. Only hardcore fans would appreciate it. The others don't know what is going on & would switch off after a few minutes.

I think the main appeal of Henoc was his passport.
The only problem is if he went down it would wreak havoc with ratio. Not many Canadians can play to the level of Muamba. That's why you get someone like Hurl playing Mac. With an American it's much easier to find a replacement & not mess with the ratio. So, Muamba may be a ratio breaker either way.

And theyre going to be lead by Drew Freakin' Willy. Dear lord. If they finish better than 5-13 ill eat my shoe. Enjoy Henoc!
Initially we were all upset with Muamba doing what he did but I'd take Bighill over him without question.

Don't really understand why Reed would think that he needs to go out and make sure that everyone knows that Freeman didn't quit, he was fired. Chump move but I'm sure glad that we've happy passed on the Dumpster Fire award. Now if Montreal would just pass it back to the Riders...
Reed is an asshat. He just couldn't leave it alone & let the guy walk away with what was left of his dignity. There really was no reason to do that.

Climie is more precise with his commentary.......Milt gets excited at times. I think they work good together.
Climie hates every team except Ottawa. Ask any fanbase & they'll say the same.

People can laugh or mock Johnny Manziel. The fact he is at TC training camp for far less than he made as a Cleveland Brown & is competing for not only a starting job but to reclaim his playing career has earned my respect. He seems to be saying & doing all the right things. I hope he succeeds as I don't want to wish him bad. And this is from one of the biggest Johnny Football haters out there after his dumpster fire time with the Browns.

Rome values his own opinions very highly.
I used to listen to Jim Rome regularly when I worked midnights back in the late 90's to early 2000's as his show was replayed at night. The format hasn't changed in 20 years. Very seldom listen now. What worked for me back then at 3 am doesn't work at 10 am now.

Just watched Jim Rome sorta kinda make fun of the fact that Manziel is only going to make $120K plus $10K signing bonus this year in the CFL. It is kind of funny when you think about how much football players make in the NFL I guess.
Rome knows the CFL doesn't pay its players like the NFL so I don't know what his point is. But it's Rome so carry on clones.

Hoping Muamba hits all his incentives/bonuses. Looks like the Als are going to be at the bottom again.
I kinda sad for him, he's never been to a good team in his entire CFL career
... except the 2011 Bombers, I believe.
Well, when Muamba always puts money ahead of team then playing on shitty teams should be his lot in life. the funny thing is he never actually earns all of it as teams cut him in the off season. The guy is a showboat & a mercenary with his CFL tours & always playing one organization against the other while constantly switching teams. I'm sure he'll enjoy cashing every game day cheque after every Alouette loss. Hope he never wins a playoff game.

he was an high NFL draft choice. I actually feel sorry for the guy.
He made his money. Lots of it. I doubt if he'll ever need a handout.

How well is Streveler doing?

The players are sheep. Whatever Fehr tells them to do, they know nothing about labour relations. Most of them barely have their grade 12. .

Intereating breakdown of Salary. 12 million in signing bonuses throughout the deal.. Gets paid roughly 6 million a year but theres a 3 million, guess they expect a lockout.
Of course there'll be a lockout. Do you think Bettman & Fehr care about the fans? What will that be? Lockout #3, 4??

Regatrding American Chopper's return. The Teutl's are one dysfunctional family. Paul Sr is a dictatorial asshat. Paul Jr wants a relationship with his father but Sr doesn't know how to have one. They both nearly killed one another. Mikey was a major .... up. Vinnie quit. Cody can't stand Paul Sr So, what does a family like that really need? Why, another television series to finish the job. This promises to be a major dumpster fire but it should be entertaining.

It would take a decade to build a single refinery with the regulatory process. Then there's the interveners & politicians like Horgan who would against it. The eco environmental terrorists who would wreak havoc all backed by millions of American dollars in US organizations like Tides Canada. The same thing that happened with KMX would happen with a refinery. So, Horgan can say it's not the pipeline he objects to but the heavy oil bitumen. However, he's lying. He'd be against a refinery in the Lower Mainland. He would be against anything related to oil in BC.
