  1. Correct. I think The Source is taking $100 deposits for in-store pre-orders but otherwise no money down!
  2. I got my pre-order in for the PS5. It's a whopping $630 CDN for the full console.

    Pembina Trails. I should also add that I don't hold the teachers responsible. They were stuck out there with little supports. I know that they are working tirelessly, while managing their own personal situations. We have older teachers in the system that must be worried about their health and younger ones with children at home trying to figure out schooling too.

    To add.... But not to dwell, I see other school divisions proactively making changes to their school set up to allow for social distance. Our school is happy with a meter and wonder, out loud mind you, if they need to do anything else. I know in a few weeks time that my children will be out of school. Something will trigger a shutdown and I know that our school is just as prepared for online delivery as before. So, not at all.

    6 months ago, they were closing schools and already knew about social distancing. They could have easily developed a plan and have done little to nothing. Cripes, my school does not even have a rain plan yet for the students. It's September and they don't know what to do if it's raining outside. When students were going back in June, my children went for less than an hour. They had no assessment done at that time. They were abandoned by the teachers and the school. One teacher was so horrible at online delivery, she spent her two hours (!!!) a week of online teaching, reading a story to the kids and asking them if they had any questions. No, leadership from the Province, from our school division and our school has been a disaster. Well, civil servants and the administration didn't put anything on hold, they just did their jobs, kind of.
  6. Netanyahu is a career criminal but he's no match for Trump. Trump is like the crazy mob boss you don't want to cross because he'll drag you down to his level. Netanyahu is a crime boss too but at a lot more discreet. But once you start operating in Trump's world, you need to play by his rules. He's got receipts, I'm sure, and he'll destroy Netanyahu if he crosses him.

    Your school has plexiglass? I wish. Our school mused at Parent Council the other day that they could buy them if all parents gave $200. It's September and our school still doesn't have a clue. Our school division has been AWOL this entire pandemic. I'm so disappointed in the leadership from top to bottom. My G1 wears his all day, except to eat. More than half the kids in his class wear one.

    Whoa, really? My oldest (G5, A10) has to wear his mask at all times inside the school. The only exception is outside. If he chooses to take it off, he has to stay two meters away from others in his cohort and 4 meters from someone outside his cohort.
  9. Same US pricing as Xbox. Let's hope they get the Canadian pricing in at $600 too.
  10. Looks good!
  11. That's bold leadership right there. Herr Trump is signalling that he's going to invade and take Russia if he's reelected. God save the President with Baby Jesus tears.
  12. They have but it's looking less and less likely. Draft and free agency in the first few weeks of October. Camp in mid-November? It's too late for that now. Maybe they get going in December with camp, break for Xmas and then start around New Year?

    Saving for contact tracing info.
  14. NBA is looking, optimistically, to start on Xmas Day. That, for me, is when the season starts anyhow.
  15. Sorry, but the MLB format has been a disaster. So many games missed. NFL is TBD. NBA, NHL, MLS, CPL, got it right with the bubble.
  16. I think PAC = Edmonton and CEN = Winnipeg if they're keeping a Canada only solution. Could also have Edm/Cgy for all West teams. Could maintain a bubble shuttling between the cities. Also Toronto and Montreal for an East bubble. Shuttle the teams on a bus. Or, better yet, Ottawa and Montreal.
  17. They should play a couple times a day to get the season done quickly. It's boring hockey anyhow but I would love to see them just bang out a season in three months. It would be more entertaining than what they have been putting out.
  18. I don't have a problem with them starting back up. They've done a good job of keeping their games on the air and used the bubble appropriately. But, I just don't care. I suppose if the Jets were in it, I would watch those games.
  19. Not hockey. Couldn't pay me to watch that now. NBA has been good, EPL has started, MLB every night, and now the NFL. I've even watched a couple of F1 races, which I haven't done in years.
  20. Totally fake. Why is there a camera fixed on the car in front? It's not a dash cam because a dash cam wouldn't pan to follow the pedestrian.
  21. That's pretty ugly. If the Stars and Lightning play in the Stanley Cup final and no one watches it, did it still happen?
  22. They're still playing hockey? What are the ratings like?
  23. Brees. More continuity with offense. Brady didn't get a chance to play live reps that a preseason would bring. I also think they are a better team. Bucs will get better as season goes on.
