    I have a personal agenda against Investors group, so I'm fine that they won't be keeping the name. 

    For what it's worth Princess Auto has a lot of roots in Wpg. The family members I know seem pretty solid. And they own TCB so expect more availability!!

    I just noticed that Princess Auto came in 27th from a survey for Canada's best employers. Thats the best showing for a retail company by a large margin (number 2 retailer is Apple at 75).

    Would this kicker be considered a global?... I know it says he's from Venezuela but if he played in the NFL and XFL would he be an import?

    I asked John Hodge that question when the signing was annouced. This was his take:

    I haven't checked with the league but if he has American citizenship, I believe he has the choice of being American or Global.

    As an American, he can sign a two-year contract without having to go through a draft. Globals have to sign for three.

    Ford is already under contract, so I guess we won't hear anything about him until he shows up at TC....or not.

    He was released from his contract to sign in the NFL so he is not on the Bomber's roster.

    The Bombers do hold his CFL rights for another year though. 

    @TBURGESS would Ford need to sign a new contract with the Bombers or would he be on the last year of his original contract?

    I doubt it because of the university but I’d love to see blue endzones again

    I cant see it happening since they are installing FIFA sanctioned turf.

    That would be similar to how the Mosiac Field has their football lines stiched in the turf so the cant host FIFA matches.

    Nice to see Loudermilk is currently one of the most watched shows on Netflix. It seems that the show was a bit under the radar when it was just on Prime.

    Hopefully with this renewed interest in the show is the catalyst for them to finally get a 4th season off the ground.

    Anyone watching The Tourist? The first season is on Prime and the second was released by BBC.

    The show is fantastic and sorta has a Fargo vibe to it. I think there's going to be lots of buzz about it once the second season is available in North America.
