  1. I'm here with you @ 40-37 Bisons now.. Man that Yantz is something. And, oh, that Demski fellow isn't too bad either. Good game. Yep I'm watching. It's a great game! OMG what a pick!
  2. anyone watching the bisons playoff game? 37-35 huskies halfway through the third quarter.
  3. They never should have disbanded the student section.
  4. I gotta think Edmonton wins it all given the way they've been playing. Calgary has a history of choking in the cold games.
  5. Thought Coombs was Durie's replacement, but not a big deal for us anyway - I can't see us spending our first pick on a receiver.
  6. Do we pick 2nd or 3rd if Toronto loses next week? (Definitely possible if Ray is injured)
  7. As someone who was at the game. Willy was to blame for probably two thirds of the sacks, but on the last play he didn't have enough time for the receivers to get downfield. BC rushed 4, so it's inexcusable that they forced him out of the pocket so fast.
  8. I agree with most of what you say, but this is a forum not an echo chamber.
  9. MTS gets all 5 in the basic package. For Shaw you need the sports package to get TSN 1, 4, and 5. TSN 3 is Jets regional broadcaster and TSN 2 is the national alternate channel. Basically you need to get the sports package with Shaw.
  10. This is my PoV as well, but I can't really vote for him if it means a Bowman win. Bowman's business connections have me leery of a second coming of Katz.
  11. Yes we finally have possible qb depth after 5 years and the first thing we should do is deplete it for a mediocre o lineman!! A starting OLineman is better than a decent 3rd string quarterback. I wouldn't trade one for the likes of Pencer, but if the right person became available I would definitely look into it. Taman will probably come calling in the offseason considering how well their backups have played.
  12. We have 3 promising QBs. Hopefully we can swing a trade for one of them in the offseason. Maybe pick up an OLineman...
  13. MTS has all 5 feeds. Not sure about Shaw, as I last used them last week.
  14. MPI gives me far better rates than the company that I work for (that sells auto insurance in the US). Not sure where this myth comes from. It really all depends. I don't know what MPI charges anymore but I know when I moved to Alberta being an under 25 male I got hammered on my rates. Hit 25 though and it's not so bad with a clean record. I think the issue with MPI is that they seem to turn a pretty healthy profit, they could probably stand to lower their rates. A lot of people don't really like to see crown corporations earning a profit would rather see discounted rates. Yea this is the big thing, MPI doesn't adjust rates based on age (except indirectly via merit points). As a 20-something, I'm paying a little over 1k a year for my 2012 car with a $200 deductible. I'd be paying quite a bit more to a private insurer.

  16. My favourite game in recent memory is the game we got Printers fired on thanksgiving. Hoping for another memorable game.
  17. The difference is little - the surplus from one year goes into the budget the next year. It's taking it from the bottom line as opposed to the top line. And yes - raising autopac rates would effectively be a tax increase.
  18. Hydro is a crown corp - they can't *take* from it because it's already government money. Also as a percentage of our GDP, our transfer payments have been decreasing. Actually a Crown Corp is arms length, not another place where the government can take $ out of, although the NDP did so. Look at what transfer payments were and what they are now, the NDP has taken advantage of getting more $ from the Feds. Of course the government can take funds from crown corps - they do it all the time. What do you think a budget cut is? Also equalization payments have been decreasing per capita - meaning Manitoba's population has increased and equalization payments have remained around the same:
  19. How does one rob one's self? Is Harper robbing the CBC to balance the budget?
  20. lol ticats fail so hard. If I was a ticat fan, I'd be getting blackout drunk right now...
