  1. It started in appreciation of bringing the Jets back. Something that meant a lot to many people in the city. Alternatively, if people don't want to pay for Jets tickets, then the team will leave again. The mediocre part comes and goes. I suppose long term we will find out if Winnipeg can field a competitive team given the challenges of a smaller market team. Probably need to give a GM a chance outside of Chevy to really find the answer though. I do pay for Jets tickets (mini pack). I don't participate in the True North chant. Don't begrudge those that do.
  2. Picks this week need to be in by Friday @ 8:30PM Standings below:
  3. I have no love for the monarchy, and wouldn't care if they got rid of them, but they really aren't all that different then the love and adulation that actors, rock stars, and athletes get in todays day and age. I mean the UK still votes for their parliament, so the royal family is just a figurehead.
  4. No, it is tradition to have the monarch on our currency, not a law or requirement.
  5. Time for Canada to move away from the monarchs on our currency IMO. If we have to change them all anyway, think we should move to something more representative of Canada.
  6. That article mentions this weekend is the 18th annual Banjo Bowl? Man, that makes me feel old.
  7. Picks this week need to be in by Friday @ 6:30 Standings are below:
  8. NFL is also the only of the major 4 sports leagues to not have guaranteed contracts. Weaker union? Too many college players who could slip into game action as opposed to other leagues? Not sure why football is behind the other leagues in some of these areas.
  9. NHL seems more generous than the NFL. https://winnipegfinancialplanning.com/nhl-pension/
  10. Time for Labour Day weekend! Picks this week need to be in by Friday @ 6:30PM. Current standings are below:
  11. I would wager it has more to do with how poorly the team has done over the last couple of seasons than a name change. Winning solves a lot of those things.
  12. This weeks picks need to be in by Thursday @ 7:30PM. Current standings below:
  13. All of these streaming services won't survive and there will likely be some amalgamation at that point. People will pick and choose or may even alternate throughout a year to watch different shows. Netflix will be experimenting with a lower price point if you are willing to watch commercials. If that sees high adoption, look to other streaming services to follow suit. Then we'll basically be back to where we started. Paying an internet bill, paying a high cable bill (in terms of subscription services), and having to suffer through commercials. The losers in that scenario (besides the consumer) will be the cable providers like Shaw and Rogers. So also look for you internet costs to go up to make up for the revenue they lose on providing cable tv.
