  1. I thought bob wylie has had much success prior to this. wrong? "Charlaton" lol, good one.
  2. Is it possible the mess on offence wasn't just Marcel's doing? If the quarterback doesn't have even two seconds before he's jumped on, what difference does it make what play is called? Shouldn't at team with a decent O line be able to run up the middle at least once in a while? Edmonton seems to do it all the time to good effect. He's somewhat a scape goat, to buy themselves some credibility. I'm skeptical that anyone better will come here. There's more wrong with this team than Marcel. guess we'll see.
  3. do we add it to the total sacks given up this year by the offence? I feel sorry for Marcel, and hope he does well.
  4. American manufacturing has been destroyed by "free" trade agreements. they have rust belts in all the former manufacturing states. People aren't stupid.
  5. Not a good deal for Canada, or the United States. It was written by and for Transnational corporations. It takes law making out of the hands of elected government, and gives it to appointed arbitrators, who are paid by the corporations. You don't even get to know their names. Decisions made on the secret panels override the laws passed by elected governments, and are not appealable. Canada has lost a number of these panel rulings under Nafta, and they have dismantled laws passed by legislatures, and costing hundreds of millions of dollars in direct payments. Expect many more of those, if this deal goes through. Things like challenging our drug pricing tribunal, that regulates what drug companies can charge. Expect challenges to that. The drug companies hate our patent drug regulation laws, and want to be able to charge whatever they want, the way they can in the US. Some drugs in the US cost ten times what the same drugs cost here in some instances, cause they have no price regulation law. Exactly what are we going to sell to the Pacific Rim, where wages are in some places 8 cents an hour, workers have zero rights, and their are literally billions of people seeking a job. " yah that's great for jobs here in North America. It's the opposite of Democracy. It's a scam. Under Obama's us trade deal with S. Korea, that he said would result in more jobs in the US, the American trade deficit with S. Korea has massively increased, and caused the loss of American jobs. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Korea has swelled 90 percent, or $13.6 billion, in the first three years of the Korea FTA (comparing the year before the FTA took effect with the third year of implementation). The trade deficit increase equates to the loss of more than 90,000 American jobs in the first three years of the Korea FTA, counting both exports and imports, according to the trade-jobs ratio that the Obama administration used to project job gains from the deal." Obama is a con artist of the first order. This is his deal. If Trudeau buys into this, he's only slightly better than the previous outfit.
  6. lol. If spoken, should be with a robot voice.
  7. an explanation for keystone turndown "Warren Buffett’s Burlington Northern Santa Fe LLC is among U.S. and Canadian railroads that stand to benefit from the Obama administration’s decision to reject TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL oil pipeline permit. With modest expansion, railroads can handle all new oil produced in western Canada through 2030, according to an analysis of the Keystone proposal by the U.S. State Department. “Whatever people bring to us, we’re ready to haul,” Krista York-Woolley, a spokeswoman for Burlington Northern, a unit of Buffett’s Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said in an interview. If Keystone XL “doesn’t happen, we’re here to haul.” also read his company recently bought 25000 railway cars, don't know what kind.
  8. Winner of the word of the day!! I mean who uses the word discussion in a sentence? have to admit, I used "discussion" to impress people! and it worked! and If I had the chance to do it again... I would!
  9. i thought that program was loosely based on an actual story.
  10. very good movie related to this is Nightcrawler with Jake Gillenhall... plays a guy who tracks police and the like and videos from in close. really suspenseful movie. was on netflix. similar stupid behavior relates to bears. we were camping in Alberta, mother bear and cubs peacefully walked by behind tent (one hundred feet or so away) a guy came up to our campsite with wife, and small children, he was going to cut through, get close and take pictures. then if anything happened, the bear would be shot and killed. I talked him out of it. Irresponsible by CBC.
  11. somebody on the team appears to be a bad evaluator of who has the ability to play. Same thing goes for some of the wierd stuff on defence.... cutting guys that played well, playing guys that didn't. That's what I'm starting to think. They can't tell the good players from the bad.
  12. we really like him. He's got good character. end of story. bring him in.
  13. Hamilton's defence is tough, remember what they did to us? yet he's killing them. He also looks like he could play for years more.
  14. think they said four receivers with a thousand yards. just completed a 43 yard pass from his 5. Ottawa looks like the most complete team in the league. Ottawa has an offensive line that does it's job well.
  15. very exciting game! Hamilton showing a lot of heart. lol! ripper...
  16. What a horrible interference call against Hamilton at Ottawa goal line. Just awful. burris tackled hamilton lineman on the goal line. burris is tough. ref flag quota for the first half being met in the last couple of minutes.
  17. Here's the REAL Mandala effect thing
  18. Yes, there's so much to be excited about! Now that the season is over (no playoffs, but we can't expect everything can we?).... I can't wait for next season! such a great foundation we have here. Just a few tweeks here and there! Need a separate site section, for "positive thinking" posters....all the criticism of negativity is upsetting me.
  19. I could be wrong, but I think O'Shea is in the "these are professional athletes, it's their job to motivate themselves" group. I have no idea about whether that works or not.
  20. what a completely horrible game that was. There's a difference between being optimistic about the team, and fooling yourself. two years ago I was surprised by what happened, but willing to wait and see. I've seen more than enough. Even the defence, which played well off and on, isn't really very good. the people that like O'Shea, continue to say that he's a good coach. Yet, not one of them have offered anything to support that. I don't see anything from this year, I mean nothing, that makes me think it'll be any better next year.
  21. Some people think the Saudi's are overreporting the amount of their reserves, which are verified by nobody.
  22. Correct! if Obama didn't like Oil he wouldn't have approved drilling in the Arctic and off the East coast of the USA. cnn " he's a complete phoney. through and through.
