  1. Well it's not disguising, it's an actual designation American beef can get... just that the industry down there isn't as regulated so you need to have the thing as opposed to up here where it's all hormone free anyway.
  2. I don't think I'd trade our kicking game for any teams. Medlock just does too many things too well.
  3. This is the most uninspiring and uninteresting election I think I have ever seen. No one seems to be offering anything of substance, just a bunch of self serving empty suits.
  4. See nothing Fajardo does is impressive to me. Even a couple of those deep shots he completed against the Als, with better awareness from the db they could easily have been picked. Guy relies on quick hitters and escaping the pocket. His arm isn't good enough for me to really worry about that guy as a passer. Figure he's a one hit wonder for this season and nothing more.
  5. oh yeah end of the season gonna be a doozy. Was looking at the schedule a bit and while the Esks appear behind the 8-ball right now they have a chance coming up to make up ground. Bombers gotta take care of their own business and put the Riders and Stamps in there place. Do that I don't think we gotta worry too much about anyone.
  6. Next month will be very I interesting for quite a few teams.
  7. And I've yet to see him drywall anything.
  8. Hey if the Riders can get all kinds of love for beating shitty teams why not BC too? The biggest question is how I gods name did Ottawa ever beat Calgary?
  9. Bottom line, to hell with anyone who isn't us.
  10. He couldn't go back if he wanted ! Have you looked at the rig counts lately?
  11. Really the problem isn't the price of oil, you can make money on the current price of oil even with the discount we sell at, the problem is that no one is interested in investing money in Canada because you never know if the government is going to sit by and let your projects die in court. That's the only reason the Liberals bought the damned TransMountain pipeline, because if they didn't there would have been even less of a climate to entice people to invest in our country. It's not just an Alberta thing either, the only people who want to invest in Canada right now are money laundering Chinese buying up real estate.
  12. I would suggest you don't know enough about the oil sands to be honest. Projects have long lead up times, they were already invested in, we could be selling what is produced. In addition to that a lot of stuff there now isn't even mined, there is lots of SAGD which is much cheaper. Bottom line they can still make money with low prices, but there needs to be market access. In addition, there is more to Alberta than JUST oil sands. I have never worked in the oil sands for example. There's lots of oil and gas to be done here otherwise that no one is investing in. So like I said, pipelines are about selling our product to markets that would buy it if they had access to it. As it stands now our only market access is to the US who are hell bent on sucking every drop of their own oil out of the ground.
  13. because we're not *******.
  14. You can invest in renewables AND make some money off of our fossil fuel resources at the same time. The world isn't using any less oil and it won't in the foreseeable future, all we are doing it letting other countries profit from it rather than profiting ourselves. IN addition to that oil and gas companies, aka ENERGY companies are fleeing this country so their investment in renewables is leaving the country yet again leaving us in the dust. An economy still needs primary industries, if not oil and gas and energy then what pray tell shall we make money off of?
  15. I don't believe that to be the case at all. Mike O'Shea every time he talks about Streveler brings up his leadership and how much he believe that the guy has "it". If he has the team rolling when Nichols is healthy I am not convinced that the change is made. Why take that risk when winning is the most important thing?
  16. Tell the rest of the world that. All we are doing in that scenario is harming ourselves out of stubborn pride. The world isn't getting off oil, all that happens when we don't produce is other countries make that money instead. Now speaking as someone who worked in oil and gas I can tell you it's not the big oil companies that are having problems, they're still making gobs of money, but people like me haven't had a well to work on in a year now, my boss who employed at the peak had 20-25 people working consistently now even questions why he bothers going downtown anymore. And that's just one geological consulting company. The story is the same for everyone right now. There are lots of jobs out there, but they're all minimum wage jobs and if you do see something decent posted you get 600+ applications. Even trying to pivot into a somewhat related area you can't get any traction for a lot of reasons. Too many highly skilled and qualified people looking for work and hiring managers think because of that they can get the perfect candidate who is willing to work for poor wages. All because the governments in this country both federally and provincial and from all different parties can't get their **** together and build any projects in the best interests of the country. Honestly I don't want to vote for anyone in this coming federal election because no one is offering any solutions to the problems we are facing as a country.
  17. I was mostly just thinking 2 games left to come against the Stamps which is always a tough matchup and also very key to post season success for this team, nothing more. Sask isn't even a consideration as a threat.
  18. well it did take Jefferson a few games to really get going, remember we all left the first couple weeks thinking yeah he was OK, but we should get more, well now safe to say he's got it down and is flat out dominating.
  19. older star runningback taken a lot of work load the last few years gets an extended midseason break... yeah that's gonna be nothing but good going into the stretch run with some games against good teams on the schedule.
  20. The problem in this country with regards to oil isn't the money from foreign groups trying to stop pipelines, the problem is that there isn't a single big picture thinking political party in our country right now. They're all focused on the small petty crap and no one has a vision or plan to take the country forward. Too risky and too long term so no one worries about long term good of the country, they just focus on what ever little boutique tax cut or program they can give to get themselves more votes in the next election.
  21. It's Kyle Walters, he taking a lineman of some type with his first pick guaranteed.
  22. Teams are quick to give up the run against the Bombers too so more reasons why the linebackers don't have big tackle numbers. Easier to complete a short pass against this team.
  23. Yeah that falls on pretty deaf ears cause we got some guys who have been here long term and want to stay here long term... Maybe Hervey shouldn't contribute to the problem and build a team the way Kyle Walters did... drafting drafting drafting and more drafting.
  24. Why don't we just return a couple kicks for touchdowns each time? seems like a solid game plan.
