  1. My understanding is it only goes back to consumers if the province they live in doesn't have a carbon pricing plan in place Yes, there are tree planting grants available that you can apply for. I just think there should be publicly funded tree nurseries, similar to the way the PFRA program worked
  2. Call me cynical if you like, but why is the money being rebated and/or sent back to the provinces? Maybe someone who lives in a province that is meeting the federal requirements, could provide some information about their initiatives? Taxes should be used to provide services - in this case, the service of combatting climate change In this case, tree planting programs would be a good start. It currently costs around $50 to purchase a quality sapling from a nursery Not many people are going to plant a significant number of trees with their own money
  3. Take in a couple billion in carbon tax revenue, earn some interest on it, then return it to the tax payer.
  4. Winnipeg has played Ottawa twice... ...exits quickly, get smacked by the door on the way out.
  5. Geez - the more you read about this - the deeper it slides into absolute stupidity.
  6. Had to prune this thread a bit. Let's keep it classy and not drag ourselves down to their level.
  7. LOCKED. There is already ample discussion on this topic. Let's keep it respectful here, even when CFL people don't.
  8. We wouldn't be the first large mammal to run out of resources.
  9. Booch hyperbole...you can't unread it.
  10. Yep, he used to drop in deep balls with the best of them.
  11. 1 million people projected at the stampede - sounds like it's over for more than just the government.
  12. Sometimes you take a shot at an unlikely winner. If it works, you leapfrog the standings
  13. His knees are just barely off the turf, and the ball is clearly below his knees. It could be that it never touched the ground, but the odds are more likely that it did. And I guess the second question is: did Banks wrestle ball out after Houston was down?
  14. Ok, fair enough. The ball might touch the ground there (yes, I meant 1:05) but it's not conclusive. But keep watching at that point, you can see Banks grab it from between his knees, and it sure appears to touch the ground.
  15. Time to generate some hyperbolized press clippings
  16. The spot on third down was an incorrect call So was the touchdown. The angle where you see Houston from behind, you can see the ball touch the ground, right before his jersey covers the sight angle.
  17. Yeah, there is no available body part, to keep the ball off the ground, Houston is lying on his side.
  18. A consistent deep threat forces a D to commit more players to downfield coverage. Net result is fewer guys applying pressure up front.
  19. Just not working for me this year... Nathan Rourke
  20. The ball is on the turf underneath Houston, before Banks takes it away.
  21. It was either a pick or an incomplete pass. It's impossible for that ball to be a TD. There is no argument.
  22. TOP was almost even. The D was on the sidelines for quite a while, before that last drive. MBT, for whatever reason, plays like that against the Bombers But even so, without that ridiculous TD call, the game is not even close.
  23. Oh I agree. But at the same time, he engineers some freakishly good drives, especially the TD at the end.
  24. MBT has always done well, moving ball against our D. He seems to zip it all over the place, then next he'll struggle again.
