    I don't see a real market for Tyler Myers at $6 million he will be asking...  but who knows - so without free agents...

    Morrissey-Niku

    Beaulieu-Buff

    Kulikov-Morrow

    Poolman

    That's some pretty slim depth...

     

    That's a disgusting d-core.

    Morrow and Beaulieu are hardly replacement level guys and Niku is still unproven defensively.

    Signing Myers is an absolute necessity at this point. Hoping he doesn't bend us over the barrel and show us the 50 states

    Geeze. Rough looking teams league wide this year.

    BC sucks this year

     Riders aren't even a CFL team.

    Montreal, Toronto are likely going to be awful.

    Hamilton and Ottawa will be okay out east, but both teams hardly seem like world beaters.

    Edmonton, Winnipeg and Calgary are the only legitimately good teams this year?

    If you go into the exchange any old day of the week his perception of it being relatively devoid of the 40+ age category is pretty correct.... although I would probably push the number a little higher (maybe 45+)

    The fact is that if you were a young adult or older in the 90's Winnipeg's downtown was simultaneously not nice AND had almost nothing worth going to.  The core has made a SIGNIFICANT turnaround in the last 20 years and people who had strong opinions about it from the 90's are only recently starting to realize that things have changed.

    Bingo. Also EVERY public opinion poll of over 40 has a 35%-45% negative perception of downtown, where EVERY poll of under 40 has a 20ish% negative perception of downtown.

    Things change. Especially in the last 8 years when one company (true north) has single handedly has a multi-BILLION dollar injection/influence to the economy 

    People struggle to change. Especially 40+ year olds

    As a tourism pro, I bet some of your success (if you have any) relies on the business of your out of touch, "self loathing" 40 + year olds. What a ridiculous statement to make.

    Lol.

    Over 40 and under 40 have MASSIVELY different travel styles. Women over 40 drive 75% of tourism/souvenir dollars. Does that mean their opinion of downtown carries more weight?

    Of course not. They're not the ones watching shows and drinking 16 beers a night.

    Sorry if you're offended as an obvious 40+er, but, know what? I'm ALSO over 40. *GASP*

    Downtown has a bad rap from the 90s but it's nothing like it used to be. The kids don't have nearly the same perception people 40+ years old do because generally older people are out of touch. A lot of the bad rap that Downtown HAS is from older people that are self loathing and think it's 1996.

    The bars/restaurants et al are awesome.

    The exchange district is as nice as anywhere in Canada. There'll be free outdoor shows at the cube.

    The forks gets 4 million tourists a year now. Pretty safe bet that you'll enjoy it.

    (I'm in the tourism business. I do this all day)
