sounds like you would have made a good candidate for the NDP in the last provincial election in Alberta. Except for the part about making $67/hr. My brother in law was complaining to me that his MLA is now a 24 year old kid who worked at Starbucks and lived in his mom's basement. He didn't have a driver's licence either so mom had to drive him to work and around the riding to campaign. He's going from $11/hr to $140K a year in salary. Gotta love politics.

yeah the Alouettes have a chance tonight....sure...

game starts at 4:00 pm here, which is the regular "cocktail hour" in Kelowna anyway so no big deal for me....

Just like Friesen's previous article said what you wanted to hear, because it was negative.

Please shut the F up. http://youtu.be/fdsCGm4bP3E

It is the dawning of the age of Adarius...the age of Adarius....Ad...ar..ius...

Is that allowed? I thought if you have junior eligibility left you have to go back to junior.

Dude - you want to live in Maui. Honolulu is for the tourists!

I wouldn't mind seeing Armia, Petan, Morrissey and De Leo all called up during the season to see what they can do. Lemieux is still eligible for another year of junior no? Same with Ehlers?

he did list "Planet Krypton" as his place of birth.

Looking like a repeat of 1998 and 1999 again. Calgary wins the first match, Hamilton wins the second. Hamilton is looking pretty dominant right now.

I agree, less poles, more Ukrainians!

Yeah, he shouldn't be playing because some here want to argue for the sake of arguing. Kind of like complaining because the Bombers wait until the actual cut-down deadline to announce their cuts.

I saw one guy doing that. And he was extremely funny doing it. Try dumping the eeyore routine once in awhile and try laughing at situations instead of crapping on others who do. You might live longer.

all right, but quite frankly you don't have to be a whiny child about my response either. Your comments mimicked a lot of idiots I see on other forums I post on, who constantly immediately jump on the "ban everything" bandwagon as soon as a few individuals deem something offensive, and the group-think and pressure and guilt being exerted are extreme. I see now you aren't one of those idiots, so I apologize. One of the dumbest "1984" like events took place when a bunch of female celebrities wanted to ban the word "bossy". Just so stupid. And I don't think Mike Bossy liked it too much either. It wasn't received well, thankfully. What scared me about this campaign though was that people somehow think they can just start banning words in our society, because they decide that they are bad. That's not how a free society works, and it's an extremely slippery slope. http://nymag.com/thecut/2014/03/problem-with-the-ban-bossy-campaign.html

I haven't seen the Montreal depth chart yet.

^^^^^^^^^ i own a competing warehouse and I want that guy's warehouse to fail. I think that he should sit out the next five weeks and the warehouse to close down "just in case" he has Lupus, even if the qualified doctors say that he doesn't.

Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming Can confirm #Bombers rookie safety Demetrius Wright was released yesterday. Wright started Week 1 in Sask for the then-injured Moe Leggett.

Well let's hope that Richie Hall has studied the game film and has found a way to de-Cato that Montreal offense. That was quite the offensive show he put on.

To me, "this issue" isn't just about the Confederate flag. It's about the whole concept that because a flag/symbol is basically overnight declared offensive, by someone, that all existence of it suddenly must be wiped out. I don't agree with that. That's just "1984" stuff to me. It's the Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn debate all over again. Do you ban those books because they contain the N word, or do you want people, especially children, to read them, so that they can see how far we've come as a society since those times in terms of treatment of minorities. Especially since the essence of those books is to show how ignorant and stupid the attitudes towards black people were in that era.

Sigh. No. That's not what I am suggesting. I said I don't give a crap about that. What I am suggesting is that people not over-react and just leap on board every single stupid suggestion that suddenly everything is "bad" and must be banned, purely to show how enlightened they are. Banning Dukes is an example of such over-reaction.

Well, aren't we enlightened, so enlightened that you willingly jump on the Groupthink bandwagon whenever it's decided, somewhere, by someone, that something is offensive. I would hope others aren't just as willing to unquestioningly abandon everything they have seen and heard and believed growing up because someone tells us it is suddenly "bad". Always question authority, especially the authority of people telling you how you should think. Your comment about how we as a society need to learn to change things instead of clinging to traditions seems to be right out of Animal Farm. I agree with TUP that I don't really care about the Confederate flag or what it means to Southerners. I am from Winnipeg, so until someone starts telling me the Bison on our flag is some kind of racist symbol it really doesn't matter to me. What I don't get is the hysterical over-reaction including banning shows like the Dukes of Hazzard from TV, because someone might see the Confederate flag on the General Lee for 4.5 seconds per show. Who cares. It's ridiculous. That's just throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Dukes was a favorite show of an entire generation. I still remember that show being the highlight of my TV week (and that just goes to show what dreck was on in that era). The Dukes taught good morals, and right from wrong. Boss Hogg was the greedy bad guy, and the Dukes always out-smarted him, and made sure justice was served, despite the corrupt and crooked cops they had to deal with. We were taught greed was bad, and good always triumphs over evil. It's not like Uncle Jesse and Roscoe sat around the kitchen table dropping N-bombs and telling racist jokes. Far from it. Here's how I sum up political correctness: Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of fecal matter by the clean end.

The thing I hate about statements like the ones you're making, is you make it seem like they WANT to lose. Like they aren't trying as hard as they can to win, and doing everything they can to win. You don't think these guys are desperate to win?? What more can they do than everything possible...?? If that's what we get when they're trying their best, we're in trouble. You could see we were done in the 2nd quarter. And in pro sports, 'doing your best' isn't goof enough. This isn't kindergarten http://youtu.be/w3UQwyKrTtI
