Trading Mace was Taman being Taman.

The cutting money from healthcare is a matter of how you look at it. They're not cutting money out like the Liberals did in the 1995 budget, they are cutting increases from 6% a year to 3% a year and then more based on the rate of economic growth. That's actually financially prudent. We have to start looking at our healthcare system like grownups versus acting like kids as we do now. Case in point, the answer is always more $, more $, not can we do things more efficiently? Can we cut admin costs? Do we need to introduce a mixed private/public system like most other western countries currently have?

Robertson and Fitzpatrick were worse picks in that draft.

What is the possibility that Chris Bauman will be signed by the Riders. What is the possibility that Chris Bauman will be signed by the Riders. Allan Boyko

Mulcair is either running a large deficit to pay for all his promises or raising taxes. I think he implements a major carbon tax if elected. But hey, I think Notley is waiting to release her budget so as not to mess with Tom's chances.

Indeed. Ontario is going to be huge. BC too.

Why mention raising taxes, just hope people are dumb? Hey, why not more stories on how JT's plan is exactly like McGinty's in Ontario, down to the same team running it for him?

If the Conservatives get a majority, Harper serves two years and then allows two years to his successor. If the Cons get a minority, maybe a year or so. If the NDP get a minority, he's likely gone before Christmas.

Are we better with J.Gordon or Stoudamire in at rec over JFG?

If Neufeld plays RT, which NI comes out of the starting rotation?

To be fair, Chad Simpson was pretty good in 2012.

The Rider D has been awful all year. That said, other than Edmonton taking them out by 25 and Hamilton by 10, they have been close in all their games. With Smith at the helm, they've been under 200 yards passing in two of three. Under three hundred yards of net offense in two of three. Still we'll be playing a young QB and Labour Day is usually a horror show for us. I think we lose Labour Day but win the Banjo Bowl. It all depends on our D. If we continue the positive trend and force some turnovers, we win both.

I think with Willy's injury, MOS gets all of next year. Then its been three years and you assess. Marcel needs to be let go though and a new OC needs to come in. Marcel is bad to average and this year, last year, 07, 08, basically the last 4 seasons he's been an OC it has been bad.

Hell, the NDP took $344,000 in union donations to pay for their last leadership race which they were forced to pay back. How big of a story was that? Now imagine what happens if the Tories took $344,000 from oil companies or the five major banks to pay for a leadership campaign.

Ticket prices are becoming an issue for sure.

Defence is improving. Sure we have problems but this is a year where somebody is getting in with a so so record. If we can stay ahead of BC, Mtl and the Riders, we are in and heck I'd take that.

Neufeld at RT. Can he be solid or are we seeing a Devin Tyler etc type performance?

Exactly. You pass on him for a project in Wauld and then take another project in Morgan.

Depends which Ottawa team you get.

We hold Mulumba's rights until we give them up, no 1-2 year limit on draft picks.

Linda McQuaig on the passing of Hugo Chavez: "For those concerned with social justice, Chavez’s passing is a sad milestone. It will surely be a while before we’ll see such a feisty mix of Robin Hood, Che Guevara and Michael Bublé straddling the world stage." Chavez shut down more than 30 TV and radio stations that were critical of him. Murder rate triples. Wide spread corruption etc. I don't see a ton of media articles on her or pieces on tv and radio despite her having some pretty far left views. I did see a ton on the old guy at the Duffy trial though. The NDP has said they'd rip of the Clarity Act and have members who have separtist ties. How many articles have you read on that?

Going back several years, when polls were done of the parlimentary press gallery, the majority aligned themselves with the NDP so calling the media in the country left leaning isn't that crazy of a statement. Consider this one, 2004, 2006 any Conservative candidate who said or had said anything crazy or controversial, tons of media coverage (rightly so), NDP in 2015, not to the same degree.

Those interviews during the game need to stop. I think what sums it up best is this, the Riders lost, it was a good day.

I'd take one less starting NI perhaps. Not sure if it is the injuries, too many NIs playing or just an off year.

Jeff "Destroyer of Franchises" Reinbold? Can I hope that on the Riders?
