Election 2015
Well at least we won't have to hear about how it's only Harper that can save Canada from the evils of the world.When our economy doesn't self destruct because Harper isn't personally running it what then? I can hear you pro cons yelling the horror the horror.I think that the smartest thing Trudeau can do is get the GST back up to 7%. That will solve any budgetary deficits for years to come. If he can show surpluses then he will dispel any myths about the Liberals being able to manage the economy. Ralph Goodale was a good finance minister in the past and I expect, if given the job again, he will be good in the future.Perhaps also a lot of this anti-Harper bitterness will fade too. Man do people hate that guy. It's like he personally went around Canada kicking everyone's dogs. I don't get it, and I guess I never will. Oh well. And posting lists of hundreds of reasons why he was so bad, mostly complete lies, won't help me understand this hatred any better, I am afraid. Can't answer for others but here is my reason.Its the abject arrogance that he shows.Setting the longest election in history so that the Cons can inundate us with ads that the other parties cannot afford.Actually believing that they are the only party that can lead this country without causing a disaster. Harper's latest add says it's not a popularity contest kids do what's best for Canada.Finally Harper knows everything about how to properly run our country but hasn't a clue what his personal aides are up to? Yeah ok. Can't really argue with that one. Honestly, when governments get to the 10 year age range, they really do get extremely arrogant. Yes I agree with you.Only have to look at the NDP here in Manitoba as well.The power corrupts adage is true unfortunately.

Yeah ok. You're either very young or have a very short memory. other than "long election" you can replace "Harper" and "Conservatives" with "Cretien" and "Liberals" in your post, and you sum up their "dynasty" pretty well too.Ahh condescension you do it well unknown poster.

Christo Bilukdi And Andy Mulumba watch
No... Doug Brown washed out down south too... one game short if being able to collect Nfl pension I believe...We all expected Bilukidi to come in and be close to Browns caliber of play at DT.... we should have expected him to take a while to get up here as well. If a player is close to retirement benefits in NFL he he is a lot less likely to catch onto a team as the league funds the pension. I don't think it is a coincidence that players are released when they are a few games short of the pension. It is the same way that older players have to be a lot better than the younger players to stick as their salaries and every other expense increases with their level of experience. I just read the NFL players collective bargaining agreement which clearly shows the financial advantages for the teams to jettison marginal players. I feel pretty confident that Bilukidi will be available to play in the CFL if he wants to next season. I hope he does. A player with Doug Brown like impact would really make the defence like the powerhouse defences we used to see here.As a side note NFL teams only pay 25 dollars for a player's breakfast on travel days. A Canadian Senator would have a hard time surviving on such a skimpy per diem. Only one glass of orange juice for sure. Saving their money for the commissioner.

2015 NHL Free Agency
Chevy is too smart to go after Richards. We don't have a top face off man but still not worth the risk. I'm sure Copp will get a lot better in that area with experience.

Yep will see if your laughing if Harper gets another term at the trough he is gonna make Mulroney look like a saint.He already has the lying through his teeth down to an art form, the most ever spent on a election ever trying to bleed the other parties wow how blind are you? To bad you find the whittling away of our freedom by an egomaniac funny but hey I'm sure you have your reasons.

Election 2015
Copyright is a huge issue that should not be overlooked, the original laws did a good job of protecting the creator during his life-time and balancing the public use and advancement of the creation. These alterations are designed by lawyers and accountants and are geared to locking in the earning potential of creative works for a much longer term. Here is a good synopsis. "The entire purpose of copyright law in the US was supposed to be about enabling greater dissemination of learning and knowledge, and that's by increasing the public domain. Yet, instead, because of regulatory capture, and the ability of gatekeepers to hijack the process, we've created a copyright law that does exactly the opposite. It restricts the dissemination of knowledge, decreases cultural sharing and availability, and generally harms creators and their ability to build on culturally relevant works. What defenders of restrictive copyrights often fail to recognize is that the public domain is what made culture culture. Culture is a shared concept, in which lots of people are all experiencing the same or similar things -- and making it their own as a part of that. We used to share stories, retell jokes, build on and change the works of others, and it was that shared effort that built culture and helped it spread. But copyright law has changed all that. Rather than a true cultural phenomenon, where culture is built up by the public in terms of what they create, share and build upon, we now have a situation where the gatekeepers decide what culture is, push it on everyone via broadcast means, and then tell us not to do anything about it... unless we pay exorbitant sums. That's a perverse understanding of how culture happens, and one that does not benefit creators or the public (often one and the same), but is hugely beneficial for a few gatekeepers. For a robust creative community and culture, it is important to bring back a healthy respect for the public domain." What a bunch of bs.Just Harper covering for the unamed corporations behind their long term money grab long after the artist has passed away.TPP wonder how much Harper is getting out of this down the road?How many board room seats does he get?The arrogance of Harper is palatable.Vote this guy in again and watch the gravy train back up and get loaded for him and his cronies.Brian Mulroney the second coming around the corner.Just watch.

2015-2016 training camp
Don't like Perreault with sheif ehlers need someone to look out for those 2. Burmi in the 3rd is a waste too need a scorer there.But in a couple of games this will all shake loose.Im confident that Maurice will have the right combos going soon enough.

Fire O'Shea
Now it's Lawless that's on the bath salts,it's an epidemic!
-
2015-2016 training camp
What does Burmi bring? He is not a scorer and not a great passer.He is strong on his skates but is not overly physical just like Goalie stated he is an East to West player.JC is a fireplug agitator type player.Petan has great vision and skills.Based on the preseason I don't see how you justify starting Burmi ahead of these guys.But it will probably come down to who they could lose if waived.Burmi better get his ass in gear when the bullets fly though cause Maurice won't put up with his crap.

Brutal play calling costs us again..
You know I understand this.I would of been too but I expected Edm to come back with so much time left in the game.I give the Blue credit for busting their ass in this game deserved a better fate.

Lirim Hajrullahu
Like I said how come it's okay to rip on Brohm but not Liram?Cause Lirim has actually had a good year in the CFL before.
