I was not complaining about salary. There is inequality in terms of how cuts are being made in Ontario - which is why I cited the Highschool example. And quite Honestly, introducing so much tech at the elementary level was unnecessary in my opinion - kids can learn how to use it when they’re older without any difficulties.

No higher than anyone else with two - three degrees.

When you average everything out and include teacher librarians, resource teachers, principals, counsellors et. al. you have approx. 13 - 14 students per teacher in Manitoba. However, there are many Highschool classes with 30+ students. Teaching highschool has had a stigma attached to it for decades - we are seen as having far easier jobs than the other positions.

Absolutely - they froze the basic personal exemption, which made no sense at all. Gouge low income folks to generate pennies for the government. A far as I know, a point on the PST is pocket change compared to the other cuts that were made. It is definitely pocket change compared to the increase in transfer payments the Palister government has received from Ottawa.

Until that crutch breaks too. Funny - how Winnipeg had to solve its own financial problems.

Jets v Blues playoff who wins and why.
Does not compute - That was an era when the Leafs didn't make the playoff for 8 consecutive years

IDK that was a poorly managed Leafs team from 2005 to 2012 - debating whether or not to rebuild & overpaying for talent. It's pretty hard to judge any coach they employed in that era.

As strange it may sound to some - the Manitoba NDP under Doer / Selinger did actually cut $ 1 billion in taxes, mostly income tax.

THIS. The Esks’ entire LB corps was a liability last year - Konar in particular.

US Politics
Oh yes, it does. Trudeau (for example) happened to have an AG with integrity who didn't go along with the status quo. But most of the time, that is exactly how the real world works.

That means absolutely nothing. Planes fly at 500 - 600 km/h, jet fuel is explosive, steel does not need to melt in order to collapse, office supplies and furniture burn fast and hot.

You are seriously using 911 to make a point? A conspiracy theory that is easily disproved by the most basic physics...

The Environment Thread
No. Climate change is inevitable and fossil fuels have contributed to it in a big way. Thus, the rationale for compensating the third world. I was merely under the impression - that you disagreed with that rationale.

I don't usually bother, but you said they were "gassing one line" when the fact is all other teams are managing their forwards' TOI exactly the same way I'm out - just wanted to make that clear.
-

If you check some stats - most (if not all) teams play their best forwards about 20 minutes per game, give or take. The Jets are really not any different.

Actually, total goals scored in the regular season are almost identical.
