Regular Season Bomber News & Discussion
Based on a quote from O'Shea, he asked for his release because he wanted to go home. If he had asked for his release and said he wanted to go sign with an opponent we are likely playing in the playoffs, I'm not sure the team would have been so quick to grant it.

Season Finale At Edmonton
I believe he is still not practicing. For sure won’t play this week. They are expecting him back for the playoffs

Season Finale At Edmonton
A win in a meaningless game won't mean anything. This game changer moniker also only really matters to some fans. The coaches will do what they think is best to win in the playoffs. It would be foolish to play Nichols this whole game and risk injury in a meaningless game for the playoffs.

Around The NHL 2018/2019
Except, with this story breaking, his girlfriend would now know. So he would have to pay up AND face the music, which if all of this is true, he deserves.

Around The NHL 2018/2019
A side girl. The article and claims basically said Kane pushed for the abortions and eventually offered the payout because he didn't want his actual girlfriend to find out.

Around The NHL 2018/2019
According to TMZ, Evander Kane is being sued for $3 Million. http://www.tmz.com/2018/10/31/woman-sues-nhls-evander-kane-claims-he-owes-her-3-million-for-aborting-his-baby/ So far this is only being reported by TMZ, so take that into account when reading this article. Quite the story if the allegations turn out to be true.

Canadian Politics
Reminder that the former Stats Can CEO resigned in 2016 after the Liberals took power over concerns about the autonomy of the department. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/statscan-wayne-smith-resigns-1.3765765 Granted this article and his resignation was about IT infrastructure at the time, but if Stats Can is going to be collecting this level of detail of data and be put on servers that are not entirely in their control, every Canadian should have huge concerns over this. Even if Stats Can had a valid reason to collect this banking information (I don't believe the data they will be able to provide from it justifies the need to do this), there is no reason for them to collect SIN, address, and identifiable information along with it. Having this information anonymized at source and reconciled to Postal Code should be more then sufficient for what they need. Have to ask what the real motivation is here. This is absolutely ridiculous and an invasion of citizen privacy that is usually reserved for Communist or Dictatorship regimes.

Depends how this similar credit they are giving to the east side of the country. At the very least, SK and MB should split the credit.

https://www.chrisd.ca/2018/10/15/bell-mts-wireless-service-ending/#.W8SgWBNKhTY Predict all references to MTS to be gone within about 5 years? Article goes on to say that Bell often ranks lowest in customer satisfaction amongst the big cellular companies and that Telus ranks first and was found to have the fastest network in Winnipeg. Interesting.

Streveler development
Man are you spinning to fit your narrative, and this post just shows how biased you are on Nichols. It was a great play. When a QB and receiver hook up to make a play like that, let them celebrate however they want. Was a great play, was great to see the team and Nichols pumped to do it.
