Used to do a lot of back country hiking through the Mantario trail. These days, we do a yearly canoe trip where we head out out into the back country. Has typically been out to ELA, which is beautiful, but we are thinking of starting to explore some new areas.

So after Trump tweets this out and threatens to sue, they decide to release the book early and it pretty much sells out in hours. Thanks for the free publicity.

There were rumours going around that he would have got part ownership in the team to come back and coach. Is a guaranteed $100M a better deal then an ownership stake?

Buck's wife is also from Winnipeg. I'm sure the home town discount as well as wanting to remain in a more stable organization played into the decision.

Longhorn = Migs = banned .... again. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

A lot of news nowadays is about sensational headlines, #fakenews, mass shootings, sexual misconduct, and a lot of things that tend to have a negative spin. Main stream news anyway ... sports news is more about well sports news. I find it refreshing when we get the odd feel good story thrown in. As you suggest, I think this type of stuff happens more often than not, but what is wrong with celebrating that? Celebrating simple humanity should happen more often than it does to remind everyone that in general, there are more "good" people out there than scumbags.

No. Imagine a company operating in Canada wanting to have a rule where X % of its work force has to be people from US. Immigration would never allow that kind of protectionism for foreign workers.

I've just cleaned up this thread for the 2nd time. Please try to post on the World Juniors topic. Any issues you may have with another poster, take it to PMs.

The other link was what was linked to on this page as of this morning https://www.bluebombers.com/football-operations/ They must have fixed it after Doug's article came out.
