Exact same experience

There is a very real problem of a high number of Rider posters that come here purely to troll. There is immediate suspicion on anyone who comes here under the Rider banner, is here to troll, because over 95% that come here do just that. It is unfortunate that every Rider fan here gets lumped into that category, and is jumped on by some posters, but there is good reason that it happens. I just banned a “semi regular” Rider poster here yesterday. Turns out he had signed up with 3 accounts, one with a very insulting name. It gets so tiring dealing with the stupid games people try to play, and the tolerance level gets lowered every time.

Bennett’s been in now for the last couple of series.

Based on a quote from O'Shea, he asked for his release because he wanted to go home. If he had asked for his release and said he wanted to go sign with an opponent we are likely playing in the playoffs, I'm not sure the team would have been so quick to grant it.

I believe he is still not practicing. For sure won’t play this week. They are expecting him back for the playoffs

A win in a meaningless game won't mean anything. This game changer moniker also only really matters to some fans. The coaches will do what they think is best to win in the playoffs. It would be foolish to play Nichols this whole game and risk injury in a meaningless game for the playoffs.

Except, with this story breaking, his girlfriend would now know. So he would have to pay up AND face the music, which if all of this is true, he deserves.

A side girl. The article and claims basically said Kane pushed for the abortions and eventually offered the payout because he didn't want his actual girlfriend to find out.

PM me or post it here before the start of the game. If I do forget to change it from the selected pick after the games are played just send me a reminder. Like this post or respond to confirm you want it changed.

According to TMZ, Evander Kane is being sued for $3 Million. http://www.tmz.com/2018/10/31/woman-sues-nhls-evander-kane-claims-he-owes-her-3-million-for-aborting-his-baby/ So far this is only being reported by TMZ, so take that into account when reading this article. Quite the story if the allegations turn out to be true.

Reminder that the former Stats Can CEO resigned in 2016 after the Liberals took power over concerns about the autonomy of the department. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/statscan-wayne-smith-resigns-1.3765765 Granted this article and his resignation was about IT infrastructure at the time, but if Stats Can is going to be collecting this level of detail of data and be put on servers that are not entirely in their control, every Canadian should have huge concerns over this. Even if Stats Can had a valid reason to collect this banking information (I don't believe the data they will be able to provide from it justifies the need to do this), there is no reason for them to collect SIN, address, and identifiable information along with it. Having this information anonymized at source and reconciled to Postal Code should be more then sufficient for what they need. Have to ask what the real motivation is here. This is absolutely ridiculous and an invasion of citizen privacy that is usually reserved for Communist or Dictatorship regimes.

Depends how this similar credit they are giving to the east side of the country. At the very least, SK and MB should split the credit.

Whats with this? Manitoba helping Saskatchewan reduce reliance on coal , but that doesn't qualify for green energy credits?

If you can’t post in this topic without adding an insult to someone else in your post, then it is best you just stop posting all together. Consider this a warning.

Cleaned up a few posts in this thread. It is an introduction thread, lets leave it to that.
