Peter MacKay virtue signalling to Conservative voters that he intends to fight change but not necessarily willingly fight climate change, he's "old school" , wink, wink. Peter MacKay's claim that our emissions total is 'minuscule' doesn't really work as an excuse for inaction Peter MacKay isn't saying he would do nothing to reduce Canada's greenhouse gas emissions. But he does have a narrow reading of the degree to which Canada shares the blame for climate change. While MacKay has said Canada has an "obligation" to do "our part," he also has cast doubt on whether Canada can meet its target for 2030. He has twice said that "we're not the problem" and has described Canada's share of global emissions — 1.6 per cent — as "miniscule." His most forceful statement on the issue of climate change so far may have been a colourful analogy involving nudity and organic produce. The annual rankings of global emissions are indisputably dominated by a handful of major emitters But at 1.6 per cent, Canada ranks tenth among all nations in total emissions — more than 183 other countries, including large economies like the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil and Mexico. Per capita, Canadians are among the highest emitters in the world — producing more than our fellow humans in China and India. If Canada's totals emissions aren't the problem, then presumably the same can be said for the 183 countries that emit less than we do. But it's also not obvious why any line should be drawn at Canada. If 1.6 per cent isn't enough to matter, it's also hard to say that Germany (2.2 per cent), Iran (1.9), Saudi Arabia (1.7) or South Korea (1.6) should shoulder much of the burden. Absolving those nations would leave just five countries to deal with the problem: China (27.2 per cent), the United States (14.6), India (6.8), Russia (4.7) and Japan (3.3).

The Riders also have posters of toilets in their washroom right above the holes in the floor. Aspirational!

HaHa, they finally figured out they overspent in F.A. and are now trying to put the puzzle back together with too many expensive pieces Their pain is delicious. Hope they cut the whiny runt!

The one thing I don't like is maintaining the 5 yard clear zone on all additional returns, it should be done away with after the initial kick so that a highlight of the CFL game can play out without being over-written by a stupid penalty call. Sometimes the officials need to get out of the way and let chaos ensue.

4 TV season in the early 70's and 3 movies, the last of which came out in 1983. I guess I could also complain about the Beatles breakup. 😁

I have no such fear, really looking forward to their take on modern times, hopefully they don't just regurgitate their past success like Monty Python chose to. Such a pitiful output for their immense talent, mostly caused by their failure to find consensus on almost any projects for decades, now it's too late.

"When old man Luedecke heads to town, things generally do not go well."

Creating suspended natural areas that will be quickly destroyed by AB. red-necks driving their trucks, motor-cycles, ATV's and snow-machines throughout. Once decimated these areas will be declared "eye-sores" and sold off to private, well connected political supporters, who will keep them for their own use or commercialize them. That's the plan anyway.

Single point has been around forever, calling it a "rouge" has not, as far as I know. Can anyone recall when this term started being used? I don't recall it being used at all in the 60's or 70's when I began following football.

Wow, the generosity of the AB. tax-payer and Jason Kenney's heart knows no bounds, I do wonder what the terms of these loans will be....make no mistake, it shouldn't in any way be considered subsidization of the oil-patch, that is red-communist rhetoric . Alberta to give $100-million loan to decommission orphan wells. Alberta is offering a $100-million loan to decommission 800 to 1,000 orphan wells, a move that is expected to create 500 direct and indirect jobs in the oil services sector. The investment to the Orphan Well Association (OWA) will help the non-profit start 1,000 environmental site assessments that aim to return the land to its condition before the wells were built. The details on the loan will be finalized by April 1. https://edmontonjournal.com/business/energy/alberta-to-give-100-million-loan-to-decommission-orphan-wells

Having 3 brothers named Daryl would be ridiculous, the one who speaks is named Larry.

Which Derel is it you're referring to, Sir?

No surprise, AB. produces more than 3 times the national average of 19.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide per capita and claims they shouldn't have to pay anything for the right to do so. How about we change the dialogue and just call it pollution, which it is. "According to the 2019 World Population Review, at 62.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in Alberta more than doubles the emissions of Saudi Arabia at 16.85 tonnes per person. By contrast, Australia had 15.83 and the United States had 15.53. In 2017, the government of Canada listed Alberta’s emissions per capita as the second highest among the provinces – more than three times the national average of 19.4 tonnes per capita. Its most recent data showed Alberta accounted for nearly 40 per cent of Canada’s total greenhouse gas emissions." https://globalnews.ca/news/6138838/wexit-alberta-leader-emissions/ Alberta demands to be removed from federal carbon tax in wake of court decision. "Not us."

Still images don't do this problem justice. Chinese respond to protect their own interests, Chinese food grown for Chinese people on African soil, nonetheless I like their solution.

Put a big drain with a strainer at the bottom of the run.

Posted this in the global warming thread but this is the more appropriate location. Michelle Rempel Garner has drawn a line in the sand with "The Buffalo Declaration". https://buffalodeclaration.com/ If you actually read this document it comes off as if it was written by a table full of disgruntled farmers sitting in a coffee shop bitching endlessly about every perceived grievance Alberta has ever had against Canada, whether based on reality, fact, or not. It's nothing but emotional garbage, surprised 4 MP's actually put their signatures on it.

Looks like Teck threw in the towel on their application to build a massive oilsands project in northern Alberta before it could be rejected. Teck withdraws application for Frontier oilsands mine, citing debate around climate policy Teck Resources has officially withdrawn its application to build the $20-billion Frontier oilsands mine, just days before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was expected to issue a ruling on the contentious project. In a letter to Trudeau published late Sunday, Teck chief executive Don Lindsay said the company made the decision as protests against a separate pipeline project stretch into their second week, blocking rail lines across the country and occupying public spaces. Lindsay said the Frontier project put his company “squarely at the nexus” of much deeper-lying tensions in Canada between natural resource extraction and First Nation land claims. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/teck-frontier-mine-alberta-oilsands In unrelated news Michelle Rempel Garner has drawn a line in the sand with "The Buffalo Declaration". https://buffalodeclaration.com/ In related news Jason Kenney does not endorse this declaration, but continues to issue vicious threats...wink wink....nod nod....quack quack. https://nationalpost.com/news/manifesto-underscores-the-depth-of-frustration-in-alberta-says-premier-jason-kenney?video_autoplay=true

Yah but both Dressler and Tasker have the intangible ability of knowing the playbook so well they see the play develop as a QB would, and instantly adjust to the situation. Not many receivers ever reach that level.

Back in the late 80's I was stopped on route #62 about 50 miles East of El Paso, they had a check-stop set up with an air-conditioned booth for border agents as it was a permanent installation. At the time they were searching all passing cars for unauthorized Mexicans who would sneak across the border in the area and meet up with waiting transport, now apparently it's drugs.....or better yet illegal Mexicans with illegal drugs!

Surprised LaPo doesn't seem to be interested in Tasker, he'd be a perfect fit for his O in Ottawa, at least a stopgap until they can find a younger receiver to take his place.

That's what I was implying with Walker and Edwards.

I kind of expect Walker to follow, he's had plenty of time to sign with a CFL club and is now probably exploring other options. Wouldn't be surprised if he returns to the CFL when market conditions suit him better.

Bighill still has 2 years left on his 3 year $750,000 contract but that could be the end of the line.
