  1. I agree Khari is likely to stay in Montreal, he has a great deal more control of the team there than he would be given anywhere else, he's got no reason to want to leave. As for the blank cheque, hard to do that now with the coaches cap especially while the league owns the team.
  2. Not officially, Drew Tate is their QB coach, where did you get that information?
  3. Alberta eases safety rules issued in wake of Humboldt bus crash Alberta has relaxed safety requirements for newly licensed semi-truck drivers and bus operators, a move that will allow hundreds of drivers to bypass rigorous training and testing standards implemented after the Humboldt Broncos bus crash. The province’s United Conservative government will allow some new truckers and bus drivers who were exempt from Alberta’s new training program for rookie operators to keep their licences without having to, eventually, pass stricter road and knowledge tests, if they have clean driving records. The change applies to farm employees who recently obtained Class 1 licences to drive transport trucks for agricultural purposes and new Class 2 drivers exclusively operating school buses. It also applies to anyone who received either category of licence in the six months before the new rules took effect in March. The changes come amid a larger debate about the trucking industry and safety standards, particularly as it relates to new commercial-truck drivers. A Globe and Mail investigation published Oct. 5 revealed how some companies are using untrained temporary foreign workers as drivers, putting lives at risk across the country. The Globe reported in September that Alberta’s government was considering relaxing requirements for truckers in the agricultural industry, which argues that its drivers are travelling comparably short distances and should not be subject to the same rules as commercial long-haul operators. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta/article-alberta-eases-safety-requirements-for-newly-licensed-semi-truck-and/
  4. Hate to say it but Sanchez was right.
  5. 3rd hand bubble-boy to the rescue!!!!
  6. What kind of insurance is Collaros??? Oh yeah, just like most insurance....useless.
  7. That's nothing new, Team Harper had Republican strategists working directly on his election campaigns, they're probably still involved. They may not have ties specifically to Team Trump but the historical connections with the Republican party run deep. In at least two Conservative-won ridings with reported election irregularities, Front Porch Strategies had US staff on the ground – possibly against Elections Canada rules barring foreign campaigning. In the wake of the “robocall” voter suppression scandal, the Republican-tied U.S. firm hired by 14 Conservative campaigns admitted on Friday to having had U.S. staff working "in the trenches" during the 2011 elections, in an apparent violation of the Canada Election Act which bars foreign political involvement. Americans PJ Wenzel and Matthew Parker -- director and CEO of Front Porch Strategies, respectively – participated directly in at least two Canadian Conservative campaigns, according to social media updates and a photograph from the successful election campaigns of associate defence minister Julian Fantino and MP Rick Dykstra, immigration minister Jason Kenney's parliamentary secretary. Robocall scandal by the numbers: 200 ridings allege election fraud US political strategy firm used widely by Tory MPs, but not always cited in Elections Canada reports The revelations contradict Conservative party claims that Front Porch Strategies' only role during the election was to conduct telephone town halls. Republican strategists helping Conservatives' campaign “Matt and PJ headed to Toronto tomorrow to campaign for Conservative Candidates!” Front Porch Strategies posted on their official Facebook page on April 18, 2011. “Nothing like getting in the trenches with terrific people who are going to make a difference once elected.” The next day, Front Porch's Facebook page featured a photograph of Parker, telephone in hand, as he looked over what appears to be a voter contact list and a poster stating: “Election day is Monday, May 2. YOU CAN VOTE NOW.” Below the photo was the caption: “Matt lending a hand for MP Fantino here in the greater Toronto area (GTA),” followed by a Front Porch Strategies comment three days later: “We need to get VoIP [Voice Over Internet Protocol] phones up there... dialing numbers is so 'old-fashioned'.... we need to get them the '21st Century Technology.'” https://www.vancouverobserver.com/politics/2012/04/09/republicans-ground-canada-helped-elect-harpers-tory-government
  8. Why would they make this announcement? They have some decent players on their roster to build up with, why announce to the world that they're ready to trash what they have and start from scratch with no assets. T.O. doesn't need another complete rebuild they need gradual improvement spurred by a good O-Line and a decent QB. It's a good thing they brought John Murphy on board, at least he knows what he's doing, I have no use for Pinball and his yammering gullet, can't build a team on inspirational catch phrases and hallelujahs.
  9. O'Shea basically scoffed at this rumour, it's not true.
  10. Make sure you slouch down in your seat so only the top of your hat is visible above the dash board.
  11. My god, I've never seen anyone so unnaturally red , Trump has conspired with the Russians to turn Bernie into a lobster!
  12. Amazed he made it to 80 chain smoking as he did, I guess we all have hope. Phenomenal drummer, Ginger went from crazy to crotchety old bastard in later years, I highly recommend the documentary "Beware of Mr. Baker" for entertainment value.
  13. Please revise your statement, it is now "the Koch", you can refer to him as "the Koch prick" if you like.
  14. Who wrote the script for this disastrous season, ******* Rider fans?
  15. Isn't Sudafed the drug some NHL players were taking to give them a kick before games?
  16. There are lots of other brands, Tesla is priced at the upper end of the spectrum.
  17. There were 4 sometimes 5 receivers out running routes, like it or not those were his real options, the Riders were not going to allow Streveler to get outside, to break a run he had to beat a DE or LB playing wide.
  18. Not at all, if the running game is shut down you have to use your arm to exploit their adjustments, Streveler was unable to do that.
  19. People keep blaming LaPo for Streveler's lack of success running the ball, he ran the ball 12 times and his longest run was 8 yards. The Rider D watched the film, contained him and shut him down, nothing LaPo can do about that, it's on Streveler to make use of the tools at his disposal to move the offence. He couldn't do it.
  20. Here's hoping for blizzard like conditions in 3 consecutive playoff games, they're all in the West so theoretically it could happen.
  21. H.H. To Jake and Hecht for staying on the sideline where he belongs. The D gave Streveler plenty of opportunities to win the game but he pissed every one of them away.
  22. Not fair, you can't question these guys on their sound bites, that's all they've got.
  23. He takes the same attitude into the huddle, nothing wrong with that, you may not like him but he usually comes out on top.
  24. .....not that there's anything wrong with that.... ....everyone gets to die sooner or later... .....might as well go out happy.... ....and god knows the Bombers are never going to get us off....
