Ring of Honour - who is next?
I definitely didn't forget... My post was more poking fun at yet another Tracker post that isn't quite up to date.😂

Ring of Honour - who is next?
I dunno, I feel like a few other people will make it before Bob. Ken Ploen, Gerry James, Milt Stegall, Dieter Brock, Leo Lewis, Bud Grant, Herb Gray, Doug Brown, Jack Jacobs, Fritz Hanson and Bob Cameron come to mind... Maybe even in that exact order!

Yep, He's born & raised in Winnipeg. I was in elementary school with his sister for a couple years and i think my brother knew Don a bit back then too.

Small clarification - they cancelled Nord stream 2. The Nord stream 1 pipeline is still fully operational (at least as of a few days ago). https://www.businessinsider.com/nord-stream-1-eon-gas-pipeline-germany-gazprom-russia-ukraine-2022-2

I've only been once for a UFC but I had a great time. I was near the ByWard Market (about a 10 minute walk to Parliament Hill), super nice, very scenic area with a number of pubs. I would go back in heartbeat.

It's happened in Winnipeg as well so it's not all that uncommon unfortunately. This hotel could definitely have handled this much better though - I've read some accounts where other hotels realized they screwed up and didn't jack the prices for Grey Cup week, so they kept the existing reservations as is but any future reservations were made at a much higher rate. Another version I've read was that a hotel cancelled all reservations but immediately rebooked the rooms at a slightly higher rate. They then contacted the affected guests and gave them the option to keep the new reservation or cancel. So same scenario but 3 different approaches... The Hampton chose the worst possible one. We booked rooms a while ago as we found decently priced rooms (for GC week anyhow), but now this story has us checking to make sure our reservations are still in place! 😂

Belarus is allowing the Russian forces to attack/invade the Ukraine through their territory and now seem be ready to add their own soldiers to the attack as well. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/27/russia-ukraine-war-kyiv-news/- Canadian Politics

That's what I mean though - they continue to play because, right now, it's just words with no immediate consequences. This didn't happen overnight either so I'm sure they have already made preparations, knowing this is how the West would respond.- World Politics
I'm not sure what the sanctions will do in general. Target the foreign assets of extremely wealthy people, the ones controlling this? I'm sure they'll feel that at some point down the road but the Ukraine will have been destroyed by then.- 2021/22 - CFL Offseason - Non-Back-to-Back Grey Cup Champion Thread
He signed with the Stamps on Feb 1st and less than two weeks later he wants them to release him and he's calling them unprofessional? He's talking about professionalism and business on twitter but nobody forced him to sign a contract when it was well known the USFL was coming back. If he had an interest in that, he could have avoided this whole thing by not signing with Calgary until he knew more about what the USFL was offering.- Canadian Politics
They knew what they were doing was against the law by interfering with collective bargaining but went ahead and did it anyway, knowing full well this would be the outcome. But Pallister got to kick that can down the road so it's not his problem although I'm sure he would have preferred the NDP be back in power when the bill came due so the PC's can hang the increased spending on them. - World Politics
