^^ Imagine expending all those resources...to build a grave

Met this guy once...who got better at ping pong after every beer.

I mean, they claim to be about balanced budgets, but there is always some reason for why that doesn't happen With all those federal transfers, a balanced provincial budget was gift wrapped for them But no...taxes must be cut.

That's mind-numbing...I can't even begin to wrap my brain around it.

Even news reporters don't get that right

For the record, only 4 provinces have Canadian History as a compulsory subject in Highschool: Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Nova Scotia

Some provinces have CH as a compulsory subject in grade 11 Others say you satisfy the requirements - as long as you take some type of grade 11 Social Studies course Manitoba: Grade 4: a unit on the History of Manitoba Grade 5: First Nations - Confederation Grade 6: Confederation up to the Current era (Including an extensive government unit, which is really annoying to teach to 11 and 12 year olds) Grade 9: Contemporary Canada Grade 11: a full Canadian History course

I mean...if you can have Kevin Costner play Robin Hood...

CH has always been mandatory in MB - I can't speak for other provinces, though

Yeah well, I never went beyond being a goalie at recess ball hockey games. But I had a hockey stick in my bedroom - used pretend I was Jean Beliveau - winning all the faceoffs.

It's compulsory in MB, I teach it every year. I also teach Canadian Law and get pretty solid enrollment each time. #dowhatyoucan It is what it is, it's not going to change. AB politicians need to lobby for more seats. Instead of chanting "triple, triple, triple" in question period.

It's a historic agreement that was made in 1873 - when they joined Confederation - enticement tactics from Old John A. Estoppel and long - term legal precedence would make changing that number very difficult, if not impossbile

Off topic politics discussion has been moved

Ontario has 10.5 times the population of MB., with 121 seats in parliament Alberta has 4.7 times the population of MB, with 34 seats in parliament Use the population increase factors (ON = 10.5, AB = 4.7) Take the MB. federal seats and multiply: ON: 4 X 10.5 = 147 AB: 14 x 4.7 = 66 ON is 26 seats short, while AB is 32 seats short Bottom Line: it's close, and MB is getting a more than fair shake

Alberta has a legitimate beef about federal representation: Alberta population: 4.37 million Alberta seats in Parliament: 34 Manitoba population: 1.37 million Manitoba seats in Parliament: 14 AB has 4 times the population of MB, but only 2.5 times the number of seats

Because Trump never did that?

They might not put it in a TV show, but kind of thinking still very much exists.

That's assuming they have the pieces and/or the will to make a run. Earlier in the season, they were winning in spite of giving up too many quality scoring chances That bubble always bursts...and now it has

You got this.

I'm putting mine on the beaver currency - put those HBC back stabbers in their place!

The same feds who have added billions to social transfers.

I'm not sure if you know this or not. Melissa is in Ukraine/Poland - she's a good follow on Instagram

I noticed that - did a booking without submitting it.

Thanks, that's good info to have. I'll probably have just a carry on bag.

Question: has anyone flown with Flair? I'm looking to fly to Calgary this summer - flights start at $49 - seems almost too good to be true
