what fun is that?

oh, I thought that you meant that we had cut Faith for some reason.

???? What did I miss?

nope no thanks.

Not sure what this means. Like are we talking Troy Stoudermire long here?

I had heard that the Toronto Pride people got into a tough spot as the BLM movement hi-jacked the event and didn't allow the Toronto Police to even have a float in the parade. Caused a lot of ill feelings that had nothing to do with the spirit or intent of the actual parade. Sad to see. Not sure if Winnipeg had the same issues with BLM.

so then what happens if Streveler craps the bed against BC and Bennett lights it up?? We are a pretty fickle bunch here.

I'm not against any of these things. I just don't like pumping billions every year into something that is never going to be self-sustaining.

ha ha that's awesome. After a day on the tractor and constant Zote ingestion I probably could have heated a barn for a week.

Has anyone doubted him? Does Flanders have a chance of making this team? I am thinking the possibilities are remote, just because of his passport. With Augustine and LaFrance around, we have good Canadian depth at RB now. Not sure there is room for an import RB. But maybe I'm wrong.

Ontario has the most expensive electricity in North America The result of subsidized, over-priced wind power that Ontario doesn’t need. 2010 to October, 2015: Electricity rates increased 60-88%. November 1, 2015: Rates increase another by 8.7%. January 1, 2016: Rates increase by another 10%. May 1, 2016: Rates increase by another 2.5 cents per kWh because “Ontario didn’t sell enough power over the winter”: January 1, 2017: PST removed, decreasing bills by 8%. January 1, 2017: Rate increases due to hidden Cap & Trade. May, 2017: Hydro bills are reduced by 17%. The reduction will be charged to taxpayers because “everyone benefits from electricity infrastructure, not just rate payers”. May, 2017: Subsidies are offered to those with a low income. Subsidies will be charged to taxpayers. June, 2017: Hydro One announces annual increase of $171 to cover infrastructure upgrades. http://www.windontario.ca/

what about the CO2 emissions from building all of those solar panels? Do those just not count? How long do those solar panels have to sit on your roof before you are net zero on emissions?

this will be true when storage is built that can handle the power from wind farms. The problem in Ontario and elsewhere is that wind power gets generated mostly when no one needs it. And so causes more pain than it is worth. It's not lessening the burden, it's creating an even bigger burden.

define "successful" though. Texas loves wind power, but also spends billions of dollars subsidizing it, with no real end in sight. I don't call that success. I call that welfare.

you also weren't going to develop anybody with that O-Line we had. They were too busy getting killed to develop.

Glutton for punishment.

Obscure reference - I like it!

hear hear comrade!!

Yes we are having a blast here in BC watching Horgan/Weaver steer the BC 747 straight into a mountain.

yeah. It's unfortunate that the PC's let their party get usurped by Doug Ford. That was a major political boner.

where is the accountability? These farms keep getting set up and horribly under-producing, and yet no one ever reports this, or if they do, it's dismissed as "Sun News? WTF?!"

LOL - ok fine, shoot the messenger. I get the feeling that no matter what I link I show you it will be poo-pooed. I wish the mainstream media wasn't so married to the narrative about wind farms being a good thing, without ever talking about the down-side, which is extreme, and well documented. Wind farms are really awful. http://business.financialpost.com/opinion/the-untold-ontario-green-energy-scandal-is-that-its-devastating-our-rural-areas

Thanks Mark. I just get a paywall unfortunately.

have to agree. Very optimistic about our defence this year. Offense, not so much until I see our O-Line giving our QB's the time they need.
