Because to me, it is. Government employs force. I can voluntarily not support anything which I choose not to support... except for my government, which wills itself a greater share of our money every year.

It is the biggest problem. And it only increases in size and expense. Which in turn necessarily limits your freedom through taxation and its sinister twin debtload (taxing your children). I don't see this view as in any way controversial nor as capable of being denied. I further believe that it is the worst and most pervasive form of immorality in my country.

You'll never see me try to convince you of that. Speaking for myself, I'm a voter who hasn't had a party with anything remotely near my values and beliefs for a few decades. Some have talked like they sorta-kinda did... but if given an opportunity to govern they did what every Canadian politician does: increase the size of my government.

Yeah! Those rotten scumbags with their...(checks notes)... desire for a limited and less intrusive government!

Nobody tried to diminish TJ Heath as a player. And nobody tried to downplay the value of what a #1 is worth. I don't know how what I said could be taken that way. I only registered my surprise that anyone would've called that trade a kings ransom that paved the way to a dynasty. Opinions may vary of course, but I think that's a pretty out-there take.

Honestly I'd never thought of the deal as anything that amounted to much. Certainly for us, but I really didn't see a great profit for the Bombers in it. We had to pay a price for a guy who some thought may have become our next starting QB after Ricky finished. He absolutely did not. Bombers have the most wins in the league and 2 'Ships since then. Was the trade a fundamental part of building that run? I'd say not. People are welcome to disagree.

I had no idea that anyone held Faith Ekakite, TJ Heath and Daniel Petermann in such high esteem. For me, I was hopeful that Willy could have been another successful graduate of the Ray/Milanovich/Brady era where we seemed to be supplying half the league with QBs. Turned out, notsomuch.

This debate about Willy and Evans has drilled home to me that the next 3 months can't elapse fast enough.

This wasn't about the quality of a team's picks or their national players. Just about who is retaining their picks.

Per TSN's Marshall Ferguson: % of #CFLDraft picks still on roster today, #Argos - 47.8% #Riders - 36.5% #Ticats - 34.7% #Stampeders - 34.3% #BCLions - 34.0% #Redblacks - 33.3% #Elks - 30.6% #Bombers - 27.9% #MontreALS - 25.4%

Count me in the minority that wouldn't be the slightest surprised if Harris still has some good football left to show us. ...now whether he is able to display that in this season's edition of the Riders... I'm skeptical.

South Carolina Gamecocks... that brings back a memory. 2008 International Bowl at the Rogers Centre. South Carolina Vs Ball State. My Argo ST buddies and I went to sit in the cheap seats in the 500 level and had huge banners made saying "Go Balls" and "Go *****". Weirdly, they made us take the ***** one down. edit: looks like we were actually in the 200 level... I thought I remembered being in the nosebleeds. I blame the $15 beers.

IDK man. You'd have thought that the AI would've grabbed our Argo with Shield logo from a few years ago and done a rendition of that guy.

Or add to it... People would pay good money for that sort of body mod. Think of the views they'd get on the Tok.

The Lion should be a mountain lion. The Stampeder horse has 3 legs. The Alouette looks to have a jetpack... ok, maybe that'd be cool. Does that Elk have fangs? The rough rider's uniform looks anything but rough. And look at the horse's back legs planted while the front are floating... just looks off. Is that Nick Offerman's younger, butchier brother dressed as a lumberjack? And the Argo one... uh... ok, Poseidon has like, a lot of abs. But the Bomberbot is a clear homage to someone's favorite Nintendo game:

We made him a Champion and then he went to Hamilton. Lirim gets what he deserved.

I liked the part where @SpeedFlex27 quoted himself so he could regale us with his illustrious curling memoir.

Born and raised in The 6ix. Farther East each time I move. My business is on the edge of the 416/905 divide.

Speaking as a 905'er in the GTA East, I am very comfortable with Toronto not getting its full proportional representation.

We are?

As a citizen of the Greater Toronto Area, I reserve the right to be maximally offensive when discussing the various podunks that the rest of Canada inhabits. I likewise will take very little umbrage over what those bumpkins think about the Centre of the Universe.

There are efficiencies and overlaps that Quebecor can exploit. It'll still be a money loser, but it can generate revenue across their platforms in different ways. Like a small scale version of Rogers and the Jays.
