You couldn't pay me enough - to be the speaker right now.

I have made a point of watching question period for a number of years. The behaviour of the current group of Conservatives is ridiculous.

Let's just get back to football.

Als do have a better OL than the Riders - so the Faj might make a few more plays The irony in all this: Harris had a not to bad season last year, and both he and the Als would be better off, if he had stayed

I like Popeye's, but this stuff is 10 minutes from my doorstep

I would like to see this happen. I think they have the receivers / OL to make it work. Trestman / Calvillo proved it can be done, and done well.

That's a first rate local store - hope it stays open for a long time. 6 pack of Fort Garry and an order of Chester Fried - for the win!

Unions open with an amount they know is not achievable, to discourage the employer from going to arbitration Arbitration rulings are based on the opening package, not on what has already been agreed to Every public sector does have a set maximum amount, sometimes that is publicized / shared with the union, some times it isn't The purpose of starting with a 'big ask' is that it allows you to achieve improved working conditions - it's a bargaining chip

The article does outline what he was charged with.

^^ This would be funnier if students weren't actually trying it.

Sure was. Matty is who made me a life long Bomber fan. Started following the team in the early 90's, & never stopped.

Where did you read this?

Except that Vegas is currently having their way with a team - that has some of the highest paid players in the league.

I have never understood thinking and statements like 'it is now wide open' - many media pundits love saying that. Fact: the teams that eliminate the favourites, must be pretty solid competitors too.

The kind of stuff is beyond the pale and not what I was referring to at all. The leaders call the shots. Most voters base a higher percentage of their vote on the leader.

I would make the same bet about the Liberals across the aisle.

I watched some of those question periods on the Chinese interference / threats issue - it got hot and heavy Joly and Mendicino were quite worried about economic blow back and other sanctions from China It sounds like Chong is very much respected on both sides of the house - intelligent and thoughtful One has to wonder...why he is not considered leadership material? That is totally fair. I just have a problem with how the denouncing is often done.

This is not a good place for me to comment on the specific examples that you cited. Feel free to PM me if you'd like. Some progressives are working on change. Denouncing people who we view to be not progressive enough - is not productive nor progressive - it is not an educational approach. That's where I differ with many of you on here - at least based on the way you post - which is admittedly about all that I know about you. My foundational tenet is the Sermon on the Mount and also the two chapters that follow it. This is also the foundation of my faith community.

More experience than opinion. I"m fully aware that it's not a majority opinion, nor does that particularly matter to me. See, I don't see a problem with having different definitions of progressive. That's precisely what allows millions of people to co-exist.

It doesn't need to be one or the other...they are not mutually exclusive.

Absolutely. Their reps show up on farmers' doorsteps with a fat cheque book.

This is happening to varying degrees...all across the prairies.

Honestly, you can't ask for much more from a voter - think through the real issues and make your choice.

For the record, this is not misinformation. It is someone's opinion of events that actually happened and/or ongoing points being raised in the house of commons.

And his name is Jonathan - should be a solid.
