  1. Lost in the shuffle to upgrade Natl. talent, I doubt it had anything to do with his salary expectations. Hopefully Lochard can contribute in some meaningful way as backup to Harris or on teams.
  2. Went F.A. and remains unsigned, hasn't announced retirement yet.
  3. Hey! If anybody wants to see the GC up close and personal it will be on display at the "National Cornbread Festival" in South Pittsburgh TN. until the end of this weekend!!! I am weeping unfettered tears of joy. http://www.wdef.com/2016/04/22/south-pittsburgs-chris-jones-brings-cfls-grey-cup-back-hometown/
  4. For the Nissan Leaf charging time is between 5-8 hrs. depending on which charger is purchased, so it's basically only good as a commuter car. Tesla is advertising 80% recharge in 3.5 hrs. or 30 mins. at one of their super charging stations. Curiously there are currently 8 of these Tesla stations operating in Canada and they are all located between Red Deer and Vancouver.
  5. Any idea when and why they switched to American football?
  6. 2 years left, Harris also signed for 3, if they can get 3 good years out of him that's great. If not, cut him after 2. Whether Demski is the same caliber as Harris remains to be seen, Harris is arguably the second best Canadian RB ever.
  7. I'm sure this is going to accidentally happen, how much commitment are these trainees going to put into learning the rule differences if it's just a temporary gig. Mistakes will happen but hopefully they're overseen and not put into positions were they can influence the game.
  8. Keep a pitchfork handy in case he tries to sneak back on the bandwagon.
  9. Perfect timing, when Demski's contract expires with the Riders, the Bombers will be ready to replace Harris.
  10. Rarity is the very definition of a status symbol whether it's a Tesla S, Ferrari or a Rolls Royce. The same day I saw the Leaf, I filled up next to a 12 cylinder Maserati at the gas bar. The Tesla 3 which will sell for $35,000 USD was announced a few weeks ago and already has 400,000 pre-orders in N. America, no idea how many are from Canada but a guesstimate would be around 10%. The prices won't come down much until the major manufacturers get into the game and create competition.
  11. Fair enough, electric is not going to be an all encompassing solution anytime soon. Most families have multiple vehicles with the daily commuter carrying the majority of the work load, so the current range is adequate for most of those vehicles.
  12. You read a headline and now you're just ranting. Review the Judge's explanation of why he dismissed the charges, it's 300 pages long. The prosecution failed to provide enough solid evidence of wrong-doing to convict, that's the way the judicial system is supposed to work. The Senate expense rules were either extremely vague or non-existent and the dismissal of the bribery charge made the PMO look much worse than Duffy. How the "taker" can be accused of bribery and not the "giver" is beyond me. if anything good comes out of this multi-million dollar fiasco, it's that the government can now ensure that the Senate define residency requirements and expense claims precisely.
  13. It's a difference of opinion, some people want to treat birth as a celebration of life rather than the near death experience it is for 3 individuals of one family. Celebrating birth is like throwing confetti at the scene of a horrific car crash.
  14. Yes Chiles is number one caliber, much better than Price but he may not be fully recovered from an injury he suffered last year.
  15. The Nissan Leaf is promoting from 133-172 kms for two different versions. I think the Tesla 3 is advertising in the range of 300 kms. Good enough for a daily commuter.
  16. A mental assessment is obviously needed, that lady was crazy and her husband had to be a complete moron.
  17. Criminal investigation underway, so probably wasn't a heat attack, I smell gunpowder.
  18. Unfortunately with electric cars, they are technology based and limited in production so they will command a premium until mass production is ramped up to meet demand. No reason there won't be cheao electro-box options available within 20 years pouring out of of China and Korea as the complexity and the cost of production is much less than a standard automobile. In 40 years gas pumps may be as rare as electric charging stations are today.
  19. It boggles the mind that Homolka would ever decide to have children with her notoriety, doubly so for bringing them back to live in Canada to be stigmatized. The last time the press tracked her down about 5 years ago she was living anonymously in the Caribbean, she should have stayed there for the good of all. Homolka should have been imprisoned for life once it was proven by film that she lied about her involvement in the murders. Why is it the government is obligated to keep up it's end of a plea-bargain when it was based on false information, there needs to be a reversal clause in such agreements. The prosecutors were seriously incompetent if they needed her testimony to convict Paul Bernardo.
  20. To put it in perspective, the PC reign lasted 43 years in AB.
  21. Electric cars aren't that far off in affordability. A Nissan Leaf pulled up beside me the other day and I did a double take. Price is around $32,000 CDN for a 4 door compact. Consider that the average driver burns through $5,000-$8,000 worth of gas in a year, plus around $2,000 for repairs and maintenance. Electric motors are much more reliable and durable compared to mechanical engines so repairs and maintenance are going to be significantly cheaper. Take those savings over a 10 year time period and it's almost a no-brainer. I'm getting in line for a Tesla.
  22. Unbelievable story, you can't make **** like this up.
