The Unknown Poster

@Logan Thanks for posting. Its a sharp poster. Knowing some of the spoilers the Starkiller seems like the natural evolution from Death Star. Im surprised they'd use a similar idea though rather than wanting to be fresher with the story. I like it though, assuming its well written, because I like continuity.

The only reason I want to watch them again is just to get the full sense of the saga...and also to remind myself of anything that might be referenced in the new trilogy.

So they're reusing stories? I think my favorite fluff piece is the one about Justin meeting with a crying child who couldnt get into a rally.

realistically, we get what people want. The idea that a government is formed with less than majority vote just seems silly to me. No one is making people vote NDP. Anyone who votes NDP but really dislikes the Conservatives has only themselves to blame if the Cons win or the Liberals get a minority (unless that is their desire). if NDP voters simply want their party to have a place at the dinner table to lobby for their interests, then thats what they get and the result is still the will of the people.

CBC can't even wait for the results Justin Trudeau, born into political spotlight, seeks to fulfil Nixon prophecy Justin Trudeau hadn't even been weaned when a sitting United States president first predicted he'd one day become Canada's political leader. "Tonight we'll dispense with the formalities. I'd like to toast the future prime minister of Canada: to Justin Pierre Trudeau," Richard Nixon said at a gala buffet in April 1972 during a state visit to Ottawa when Trudeau was just four months old. According to a contemporary news wire report, Trudeau's father Pierre, then nearing the end of his first four-year Liberal mandate as prime minister, responded that should his eldest son — born on Christmas Day 1971 — ever become Canada's leader, "I hope he has the grace and skill of the president." Nixon, of course, went on to infamy, while Pierre Trudeau governed Canada for 16 years in all and ushered in a new Canadian Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Today, Justin Pierre James Trudeau is tantalizingly close to fulfilling Nixon's prophecy — polls have the Liberals leading heading into the final weekend before Monday's vote — and there's a certain symmetry in that he's seeking to replace Stephen Harper, a prime minister described as "almost Nixonian" by Harper's own former chief of staff Tom Flanagan. Sunny, approachable, sometimes too quick with a quip, relaxed in front of a camera and publicly eschewing the dark political arts, Trudeau has presented himself to Canadians as the open-book antidote to a decade of flinty, guarded Conservative governance.

Poor asset management. They could have been better sooner. But I think they've been content to be a cheap team and, why not? Its rewarded them with more and more assets. They literally would have to try to suck to not be a Cup contender in the next few years.

Who said we'd add to get Johnson? Ken Wiebe @WiebeSunSports Source says #NHLJets D Jacob Trouba not expected to have phone hearing for hit on #stlblues F Troy Brouwer.No supplemental discipline likely Surprised by this as that elbow was a nasty piece of business. If thats the line for no discipline (and no penalty), then watch out, cause there will be some serious elbows thrown out this season.

Ive seen this discussion a few times (and had it too). I guess the intent in our system is you *should* vote for your guy. But I think we're influenced by the American way of doing things where the "leader" is most important. And I guess considering the leader's influence on the party, that is true. We could always move to a system that has both a President and Prime Minister. But that would never fly here. Its why I dislike the idea of coalitions and whatnot because reasonably, that's not the intent of the voter. It might be the intent of the voter to vote down a specific party, but we can run elections that way. And I also hate the idea of a PM stepping down mid-mandate and someone else becomes leader. I'd prefer a deputy PM be acknowledged beforehand. But then, we're getting away from "our" style of politics.

Here's a link to the new OFFICIAL poster for Star Wars. Not sure how to post the image here. http://www.latino-review.com/news/the-official-poster-for-star-wars-the-force-awakens-is-here Interesting. Some sort of contraption that certainly invokes the Death Star (would be hilarious if the Empire, or New Order as its called, tries to build another one) and no Luke, which makes sense from a story-telling perspective if the speculation is correct. I can envision the next film's poster with a very prominent Luke on it though...

I'd consider it. Just to see them on the big screen again. But even then, the first two are tough to sit through. Buddy and I have said we for sure want to watch the films before the new one but while I want to watch all six, he wants to start with A New Hope. As far as marathons go, Im considering the Back to the Future marathon this weekend.

Jackets would want Jack Roslovic who is from Columbus and is the type of player that would be a marketing dream there. To consider Roslovic, we'd need something serious coming back the other way. So, Buff + Roslovic for Jack Johnson (who is under contract through 17/18). Not sure who else they have I'd want other than their first round pick and maybe Rychel.

Of course it was a full page advertisement. But why let that get in the way of self-righteous anger and a good blather about media impartiality. I saw a Harper ad during Hockey Night in Canada, so that must mean that the CBC is supporting Harper. Well I guess it means CBS is unbiased. They are truly a fine example to media across the country. On the other hand, I believe Sportsnet controls HNIC advertising, no? Which would make it those evildoers at Rogers. I dont watch much TV commercials (PVR) but I saw Justin's face an awful lot this weekend. All the talk of the Cons having more money and it seemed to me that the Liberals had more ad time. Unless it was just the programming I was watching. Maybe Im a closet liberal and I dont even know it.

Wow, never seen anything like that before, that's basically a full page advert. on the front page. So much for journalistic integrity. That's disgusting that they allow that. I thought media was always supposed to be impartial. Guess I need to put quotes around that word, I should know that by now. I think this is a real low water-mark in laziness for print media that will not help them with their declining subscription rates. It used to be print media would manipulate the public through editorials and common sense arguments with the goal of retaining the trust in their audience by presenting real facts. The newspaper industry thrived for hundreds of years on this model. Now you can pretty much regard newspapers as litle more than "flyers" hawking the products within their pages or further promoting their own self-interest over public knowledge. On second thought I believe that may actually be a full page advert. paid for by the Conservatives. Either way, not good. If its paid advertising, then its fair game. Although I'd question how the front page of a newspaper is available for purchase. But thats more to the point about declining newspaper revenue and the lengths they have to go to get paid. As an advertisement, thats pretty clever though. And to show Im not biased, I thought the Liberals TV commercial with the old lady was pretty effective too.

question, what has the CBC done that is worse than running a front page add that says "vote this way or terrible things will happen" Can you show me an example of anyting even remotely close to that level? Im not going to debate you and your love for the CBC. No point to that. lol. You sound like a Conservative politician. If someone thinks the CBC is unbiased and relevant, how can anyone possibly debate that. The problem with political debate is people are entrenched. Not many are open minded. Even those that think they are.

Interesting timing.

Im not going to debate you and your love for the CBC. No point to that. But my meaning was that a) how many people read newspapers versus see the CBC? this idiocy by the newspapers is one day out of the year as opposed to 24/7 by the CBC. Or are you going to take the position that the CBC is an unbiased, impartial news source?

Look for the full length Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer during the Monday Night Football game tonight. Also: The Star Wars Marathon Event is the ultimate fan experience. All seven movies. One epic journey. Guests will see each of the six previously released Star Wars episodes in digital 2D beginning with The Phantom Menace and concluding with the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 3D! Guests will also receive a lanyard featuring exclusive marathon art. Coming December 17. However, no Winnipeg theater's partaking, which is bunk in my humble opinion.

CNN.com Clinton stands at 45% in the race for the Democratic nomination, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders behind her at 29%. Vice President Joe Biden, who is considering a run for presidency and did not participate in last week's debate, follows at 18%.

Exactly...who would our starting LHD be? I am a big supporter of Chiarot and before the season started I was very impressed with Chiarot but since it started, his game has been sub-par at best. trade Buff to Blue Jackets for Jack Johnson, a top 4 LHD. Im not overly familiar with JJ other than some seem to hate him a lot and others only seem to hate him a little bit.

Yeah thats true. I mean, sure, those newspapers is absurd in their stupidity and unabashed partiality but the CBC is worse and we all get stuck with their bill. If Harper loses today, my biggest regret is he didnt fold the CBC when he had the chance. Its one thing for media outlets to endorse parties in their opinion pages but those front pages are ludicrous. There is no impartial journalism anymore. And social media makes it worse. Apparently a delay in opening the Osborn polling station due to "lost paperwork". Open now. #believeinSteve because its only 9:44 and I've already had #JustinNuff of Trudeau ;-)

Global: Justin Trudeau is poised to move back into 24 Sussex Drive following Canada’s 42nd federal election Monday, as the newest Ipsos poll suggests the Liberals have staked out a seven-point lead ahead of the Conservatives. The new poll conducted on behalf of Global News suggests 38 per cent of decided voters prefer the Liberal party. Thirty-one per cent of voters are planning to cast a ballot for a Conservative candidate, while 22 per cent of voters support the NDP. Seat projections released by the Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy (LISPOP) on Sunday suggest the Liberals are in the lead but still 30 seats from the 170 seats needed for a majority government. BBC: An opinion poll released on Sunday showed the Liberals on 37.3%, seven points ahead of the Conservatives at 30.5%. The NDP had 22.1% according to the Nanos survey taken on October 15 to 17. The margin of error was 2.2%. CBC: Up to and including those published by early Sunday morning, the Liberals have led in 17 consecutive polls, including surveys conducted by eight different polling firms using an array of methodologies. There are a few factors that could contribute to a surprisingly good performance by the Conservatives on Monday night, making even a Liberal minority government unattainable for Trudeau. Two of these factors cannot yet be measured. The first is the potential for "shy Tories," a phenomenon first noticed in the United Kingdom in the 1990s and which revealed itself again in David Cameron's unexpected majority victory in the country's May election. "Shy Tories" are Conservatives unwilling to disclose their voting intentions to pollsters for any number of reasons, including social desirability bias (people saying what they think others want to hear). The second factor is organization and resources. The Liberals and New Democrats have their own well-oiled machines, but those machines are not as well-funded as that of the Conservatives. However, the experience of the Bloc Québécois in 2011 demonstrated the limits of superior organization and fuller coffers.

I thought only Conservatives dodged questions: http://bobmackin.ca/?p=3139 Introduced by restaurateur Vikram Vij, Trudeau relied on his speaking notes, even for recounting childhood memories in North Vancouver. He passionately urged his supporters to get out the vote on election day, to defeat Prime Minister Stephen Harper. As I was leaving, I spotted ex-Richmond Liberal MP Raymond Chan outside the building. Chan has been the subject of many stories in recent months locally, nationally and internationally about his Liberal Party fundraising activities and his links to Michael Mo Yeung Ching, a Richmond, B.C. developer wanted by the Chinese government. My story for the Vancouver Courier was first to confirm that Ching is also known as Cheng Muyang. South China Morning Post correspondent Ian James Young’s Oct. 1 story, under the headline “Group based in Chinese graft suspect Michael Ching’s office helped stage big Toronto gala for PM contender Trudeau” included photographs of Trudeau, Ching and Chan at a fundraiser in Toronto. Young’s Sept. 30 story included a photograph of Trudeau, flanked by Ching to his left and Chan to his right, at a June 2, 2013 Liberal fundraiser. The Conservatives complained to Elections Canada at the start of October. NDP director of operations Dave Hare’s Aug. 21 letter to Elections Canada said: “The allegations that have been raised in connection to this ongoing controversy are potential violations of the Elections Canada Act and of serious concern.” I reminded Chan that I had been trying to get his side of the story since April, but all he told me today was: “What I don’t like is people feeding on rumours, and then we don’t respond to rumours. It’s so unfair.” I began to ask about his Liberal fundraising activities. Chan turned around to walk away. I turned on my video app and tried following him on the public walkway, to the parking lot, while loudly asking more questions. Several people, who later claimed to be Liberal volunteers, physically blocked both my lens and my passage. Mobile users, click here to see the video. ***I thought the video was hilarious with the supporters trying to block the camera. It would be one thing if this guy happened upon Chan while he was taking a leak or bludgeoning someone...but they went to such efforts to block the camera from catching him...walking. lol If he had just walked silently, there is no story. Goofballs.

I have Ladd in my pool so Id just as soon leave him!

Should maybe swap Ladd and Perreault

Ladd maybe. Little and especially wheeler were all over the place n
