  1. And that makes sense at a critical position.
  2. Could be an exception in that case, but it’s not the norm. Shutdown offensive tackles are well paid, period.
  3. Must have been a Canadian team in town that afternoon..,
  4. Personally, if the PCs do not retract their ignorantly arrogant closure of the MB. Education Library, I don’t think I can ever vote Conservative again.
  5. The best Anericans usually make as much or more than the Canadians - Stanley Bryant comes to mind. But I highly doubt any American RB makes more than Andrew Harris.
  6. Because in most prairie ridings you could run a dog and people would vote for it - as long as it's a Conservative dog.
  7. So - I guess Rachel Notley didn’t toe the line in Alberta...
  8. Just in case anyone is wondering how the provincial government can cut the PST by 1% - transfers from Ottawa have increased by 1 Billion dollars over the past four years.
  9. And then there was Winnipeg - until the current regime: Strategy A: trade your picks Strategy B: draft players who are ‘too good’
  10. True - but he was part of pretty much the only dominant OL the Bombers had from 1995 - 2012 Gauthier, Sheridan, Khan, Greene, Goodspeed That was a solid group.
  11. I'm all for keeping the ratio - but they have to get some American players involved in the union.
  12. The scientific method takes sources into consideration. What Mark F said about that company’s stance on second hand tobacco smoke is relevant. It makes me question their credibility - as well it should.
  13. Your evidence that Heartland should be considered credible on this issue.
  14. That's sort of my point - he's closer to a dodo bird.
  15. He cited evidence to back up his point of view - where's yours?
  16. Snakes are savvy...
  17. The thinking by many that this should be ignored because SCN Lavolin has been around for a long time and 'the Conservatives did it too' really irks me. I don't give a rip if it's been going on since John A's Pacific Scandal, it has come to light because someone did the right thing for a change, and should be treated as such. And the plot thickens: https://buffalochronicle.com/2019/02/27/trudeau-still-wont-let-wilson-raybould-talk-about-bmo-kinder-morgan-or-brison-at-house-hearings/?fbclid=IwAR1O_ws1cWlxrtpqB6lsf1o5DQLu1Jf0E9szg_q-pzQGAgaGKAB31CXotAk When it became apparent that Wilson-Raybould would be unwilling to offer a deferred prosecution agreement to BMO and other worried corporate actors, on grounds similar to her refusal to offer such an agreement to SNC Lavalin, Trudeau was terrified that the scandal could take down his government. By late December, he became determined to remove Wilson-Raybould at all costs. Trudeau’s now infamous cabinet shuffle was announced on January 10, and by February 14 Brison was hired by BMO Capital Markets as Vice Chairman of the firm’s investment banking business. Opposition committee members want Trudeau’s former Principal Secretary, Gerald Butts, who is rumored to have played a role in arranging Brison’s ‘soft-landing’, to testify as well.
  18. Schitt’s Creek was bound to find this thread eventually...
  19. Nothing to it. Just block testimony and say you understood things differently.
  20. The Butts, believed to be extinct, has been spotted still sneaking about the halls of parliament, gnawing on the fabric of democracy. For further information, please direct your inquiries to the ''Flat Earth Society'.
  21. Bernier looks and sounds like an absolute idiot at times.
  22. Whoa - not so fast. Those companies are complaining because they also own refineries - thus they were still turning a handsome profit in spite of the low crude prices. According to this article, it looks like the markets will eventually adjust and stabilize. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/husky-energy-alberta-secondary-market-1.5034121
  23. The more things change... https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/pacific-scandal
  24. No - you need to inform yourself before commenting.
