From a NAT perspective or in general?

And here I was hoping we'd both be wrong and it would actually be happening on the 23-24...

I thought it was taking place Jun. 9-10...? In any case, it's a very good event. I went last year and the amount of beers available was mind-boggling. It was a great time.

Wow, I've really struck a nerve. Yeesh. Do show me where I've been ignorant or made foolish statements. And I don't really care if you're on thin ice or not here. I can see why that's the case, though. And I'm not a SJW, either. Making assumptions is another way to make oneself look foolish. And you can disagree all you want... It still doesn't change the fact you fail to grasp the reality of things. Have a read below. You could clearly benefit from learning more on the subject. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2017/03/claiming_asylum_incanadawhathappens.html Maybe understand the situation before opining on it publicly. And then crying foul when others criticize what you've opined. And then proceed to expect anyone to care whether or not you get to remain a part of this forum... And then run away from the discussion altogether. What a childish reaction. It's plain as day who the offended party is in this thread.

The Predaturds are getting completely outclassed tonight. Just embarrassing.

The "always offended"...? I'm "offended" by ignorance and foolish statements, so try again before whining about being insulted. The only person who seems offended here is you, anyway. The fact is this: people have been "illegally" entering Canada for decades, including people who resided in the US long-term. The link I included was to demonstrate the reality of the situation, which differs from what has been presented to the public. Was this on your radar prior to it making the news six or so months ago? I doubt it. The media never really bothered to cover it. And I don't understand how a single tweet makes a PM weak.

Ricky Collins Jr. wasn't in TC with the Bombers last year. He was released well before: https://web.archive.org/web/20160613232004/http://www.cfl.ca/transactions/

My guess is the organization felt better moving forward with Nichols and Davis at the time. I doubt they regret it.

Well said. Some make it sound like this "asylum seeker" thing only started recently and therefore the current government should shoulder the blame, when the fact is it's been ongoing for years. The media, for whatever reason, only chose to begin reporting on it as being problematic since the 2016 US Presidential Election and the numbers increased. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/refugees/asylum-claimants-historical.asp Should the government make an attempt to close a loophole in the legislation? Absolutely. But it's foolish to suggest the world refugee has lost its meaning or "a lot" of these asylum seekers are "exploiting public opinion and a weak prime minister" and then make the statement "why have a border at all?" Those are some pretty ignorant comments to make.

They've technically been able to do so since the Mar. 1st trade deadline, IIRC. Their first actual player signing was on Mar. 6th: https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/golden-knights-nhl/golden-knights-make-first-ever-player-transaction/

I'm trying to understand your viewpoint, so maybe try explaining that instead of resorting to your usual condescending antics and childish remarks. Nobody's putting words in your mouth, BTW. I simply fail to understand the rationale that parents would want to abort a fetus because of its potential sexual orientation. I do not see a parallel between that and doing the same for a fetus because it showed a genetic predisposition to a serious disease, therefore affecting its quality of life. Nobody said anything about fitting people into categories, either. The world obviously doesn't work that way, but seriously... What kind of truly progressive person would behave in the way you're trying to suggest? How could someone be pro-choice and pro-life, anyway? There was no need to get defensive. Your "little buckets" and "echo chamber" comments would suggest you've become unnerved, apparently because I disagree with a claim you've made.

They're not similar at all. Understanding disease at the genetic level improves our understanding of how to treat and mitigate those diseases. Because diseases have negative effects on the people who have them. How does that in any way compare to a person's sexual orientation, regardless of whether or not down the road science discovers there's a genetic aspect to it? And besides, the only people who care about the sexual orientation of others are hardline social conservatives stuck in the past. And they're pro-life, anyway.

Since when is a disease or developmental issue in any way similar to sexual orientation?

Get Spencer Watt, Mr. Walters. Do it now.

Maybe time to look at Spencer Watt...?

Except for the fact Watson has actually played and contributed meaningfully. Oh, and still continues to play. Addison Richards is in a category all his own. Don't lump Watson in with him.

Absolutely brutal. Football is obviously not his thing.

How does Durant getting injured months after he was traded make Jones look smart? And where has it been said Durant might be done? http://www.tsn.ca/chapdelaine-confident-durant-will-be-fine-1.766428 You really went out of your way to defend Jones there.

His hat game is just like his place-kicking game: on point.

Could be worse. There's a more serious lower body version of that injury that can last some time.

Torque Brewing takes the cake as my favourite local craft brewery. Love their spot, love their offerings, and the owner is a beauty. The first time we stopped there after work, he showed us around the entire facility. It was awesome!

So, are you a salty Sens fan or...? Pro tip: use the sarcastica font or an emoji to express sarcasm.

I don't think heart is an issue with Myers. Injuries are bad enough to battle through, but the personal ordeal he faced surely compounded things and he obviously had to focus on his priorities. Can't say I blame him for that. It seems like everything in his personal life has improved (and thankfully so), so the question mark remaining is his durability. There's no doubt the team is better when he's on the ice, though.
