  1. Just sign one decent linebacker!
  2. If you're into high end single malt scotch - some are $20 - $30 off.
  3. The only question for her and PP - how big is that base? Hopefully small. Their speeches remind me of the sheep in Animal Farm: "4 legs good, 2 legs bad."
  4. In other news, LC has some sweet sales these days. None of their usual loonie and twonie garbage - $10 off on 40 oz. bottles of some whiskey, and 1.5 L of wine, $5 off.
  5. Saskatchewan right beside us has had supply teachers for years - MB needs to get on board.
  6. This has been the norm in rural divisions for years - it's just getting media coverage now, because it's creeping closer to metro. Divisions like Borderland, Southwest Horizon, Parkwest - were already doing it. It's mainly due to retired teachers no longer wanting to sub. (But your rant is still legit)
  7. And they can scrap the grade 10 idea too.
  8. Uh huh. Because they are the only government that does this. GST rebates have been around for decades.
  9. Some can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the thinking behind tax rebates is that the government earns interest on the money before they give it back to us With billions of dollars being rebated at the provincial and federal levels all across the country - that's a pretty good chunk of interest money flowing into the coffers And no, I'm not arguing that it's good policy.
  10. Work on the next budget - or run for the safest Conservative seat in Canada? I guess he chose the low hanging fruit
  11. I disagree. We'll see how they do this year.
  12. That would makes things interesting. Quite a bit of Ottawa's talent is above average.
  13. Bomber hardwood will gladly keep that fire burning.
  14. The teeming refuse...of their own burning shores...
  15. Interesting...they need government to do that for them...
  16. Congratulations - on summarizing the Fox talking points Now, just add something about Europeans freezing to death without Russian oil, and you're ready to start a youtube 'news channel' ^^ sarcasm ^^
  17. The soup kitchen was closed for that period of time. They normally stop by our colony to pick it up - one of the volunteers lives locally
  18. I assume this a rarity, but I have a moral problem with some of what goes on. A couple months ago, we were informed that a local soup kitchen wouldn't be needing our weekly contribution - because some scenes were being shot in the building.
  19. Strange. You would think she could simply enroll as an adult.
  20. Yes sir. You can have a beer or shot, tip 5 bucks and still have a reasonably priced meal
  21. Never got scolded. Their daily roast sandwich, with the beef sliced right off the roast, was the stuff of legend.
  22. Ok, gravy is happening next time.
  23. Yeah, the Riverboat used to be not all that great. I have heard good things more recently.
  24. That has to be a one off, Roxy's is usually great. Next time that happens, ask for a seat in the lounge. By the way, a burger platter with a drink is $15 - $20, the same or a little more than many fast food options - way more food and better quality
