I can make sure you receive a Wiecek Award. Nothing less than a Tait, or I walk... I could possibly upgrade you to a Lawless.

On paper, Price-Sinopoli-Williams-Jackson-Ellingston is a heck of a recieving corps.

Shocked and bummed. Was excited to see him in TC.

Free agent who we did resign I think.

Former Rider, correct? Anybody else wondering why we keep adding dbs? I know some are SAM candidates but seems like other areas are more important.

Other than the Leafs not a franchise that deserves this less. Maybe he'll refuse to report.

#15 for Gaydosh would be tempting. Gives us a rotational NI DL at minimum and an upgrade from Jake Thomas.

I think we can finish ahead of Saskatchewan and B.C. Edmonton is likely ahead of us but may fall back to earth a little. Calgary is still top of the CFL however imo.

Sportsnet sucks.

Agreed. I think Slater is let go and Copp takes his spot. Wildcard there is Petan.

9-9 and a playoff spot.

I think there is a good chance he ends up on the PR.

What do you think either would net in return?

Every game is a must win right now.

Hypothetical, Wauld doesn't get an NFL deal and you know he'll report to camp in 2015, Wauld, OL or receiver at #2?

Could he be a TE type player?

A step in the right direction if true.

I'm surprised that none of the OL project to being able to play tackle. I thought Groulx and Ruby did? If Demski or Durant can play right away, I wouldn't be opposed to selecting them at #2, OL at #11 and #15.

Filmon had to deal with Pawley's mess and declining transfer payments. Don't forget Chretien took over 20 billion out of the Canada Health and Social Transfer in 94/95. Huge reason, Manitoba and all provinces made cuts back then.

Too many years for me before I can retire. Guess it'll depend on that state of Manitoba versus BC, Alberta etc then.

Oh, I understand the reluctance but am pretty sure a progressive tax rate versus a flat tax alone would eliminate most if not all that deficit. Add in a PST and hey, no cuts.

Couldn't Alberta keep spending and avoid huge cuts if they scraped the flat tax? Added a PST?

Even with their recent problems, Alberta is in better shape than us. We have crumbling infrastructure, a broken down health care system and a lack of private enterprise. Throw in debt levels, an 8% PST, some of the highest tax levels in Canada and bracket creep and its pretty bad. Alberta could add a PST and junk the flat tax and they'd be in better shape.
