Finally spent the time to reduce an image small enough for a profile pic. Hopefully it never happens again, just felt so dirty...

I will also add that they seem to be doing fairly well with the merch sales too. Was int he city for a couple hours yesterday and saw a few kids wearing gear.

David Asper (team owner) was on CJOB last week. His story was that Sea Bears is a direct translation of the original Latin species of Polar Bear.

I made it work using the Silk browser on my Firestick.

That’s a good strategy, I pay for TSN GO and uses a Chromecaster to broadcast to the TV. Hoping to do similar tomorrow for the Bomber game.

It is on TSN, forcing you to watch that feed.

I’m out of ideas then.

@Geebrr do you have your own giphy log in? I wonder if that could be why it worked for you and wasn’t enabled for the forum. @Rich this is a fun add on, I quite enjoy it on Teams at work.

So much this. As a conservative voter for the first 30 years I was allowed to vote it has been hard to move away from some of the ideals I believe in. It took a lot of reading and education to realize that the conservatives I once supported no longer exist. If I was to search back to the time of the last federal election I am pretty sure I would find a comment that I felt like a political orphan, no party represents what my personal beliefs are and I am left to vote for who supports my most important beliefs. One thing I absolutely cannot support is hatred, I have always told my son there are only 2 things that are worth the emotional investment of hatred; war and racism. If you hate something other than that you really need to examine if that is the best of yourself and if you wouldn’t be energy spent better elsewhere. It was a massive change for me when I moved from hating the Riders to now the pity I feel for them… It is fun taking the shots and mocking them, but really only because they keep doing it to themselves…

I’ve never been much of a CR fan. I know the distillery is only 45 mins up the highway but… Maybe it’s me trying to suppress my old man self but have really pursued the newer cocktail craze with boutique distillers and infusions. Don’t drink enough to have tried everything but the afore mentioned Wildlife or the local Patent 5, Baltic Brothers, Bison and Shrugging Dr are all things I pursue. The Baltic Bros Manitoba Mule makes a great cocktail, I’ve sent/brought a few bottles to the Okanagan.

What you did, I saw it.

I've been twice, both for special event, they are well run and very accommodating. Their GF pizza is quite good, but not Wall St Slice good. If we want to talk pizza Wall St. Slice has to be in the conversation, grab some brews at barn Hammer, za from Wall St and head to garbage hill for a picnic. That's true Winnipeg atmosphere that all should experience, I swear on a clear day you can see Regina from up there, lol.

Cactus Club; 1/2 price bottles Tuesday and Wednesday, Oh wait... never mind. Yes, the Forks.

I've heard this but on my 3 visits I have only found it okay at best. Now, I am a Celiac and that rules out their pizza and some of the other items but the ones they adapt aren't get and I didn't find them awesome at accommodating dietary needs either. Great atmosphere and close to the office so I will likely end up there again. Not bad seltzers either, enjoyed being able to buy something from the source for a change.

I'm a big fan of their syrups too, the mule and tonic syrups especially. I haven't tried any of the cocktails in a can they produce yet but hoping to get some in a shipment that Keith's parents bring on their summer visit home.

@Noeller if you ever wish to tip your toes in to the spirits world you should check out Wildlife Distillery out of Canmore. They have some MB roots and are producing some excellent hooch. They released a Rhubarb Gin this spring that I tried to get on my most recent trip but the liquor store in YYC didn't have it yet.

It's a great physical space. Can't say much else about it food, people meh... Patent 5 Distillery and Tasting Room around the corner, I could spend way to much $ and time in that place if I was a little younger.

Being a guy that can’t drink beer and has other dietary restrictions I might not be the best to offer advice but if you haven’t been I think Cibo and the James St. Pump House are must try’s.

How many days of camp did Milt participate in the last few years of his career?

Think more about the area in Winnipeg along Kenaston or over off Ness near Moray. This what I am talking about, not the ghettos created in areas of England or the USA. A more modern example would be an area of Transcona that has been developing for about 5 years Park City Common, a mix of commercial and residential. Upfront funding to get options like this moving faster is one thing they have done, now need to do more.

One of the reasons that the housing market is over heated is the overall shortage of housing. The government is funding the arrival of thousands of immigrants and refugees but nothing to support housing for them. We need a massive influx of new housing like we did after the Second World War. If there was more housing we would have such high prices.

Still waiting for you to show your work on how that 1500/month payment becomes 2500-3000/ month… Using home equity to pay off other debt is not a function of the interest rate changes or inflation, it is personal choice and bad money management. I’m no angel and have made bad financial decision but other than work travel expenses the balance on my credit card is always less than the balance of my operating bank account. If people bought with a new mortgage in the last few years they amount of their mortgage was stress tested to ensure they could afford the house if the interest rates went up, if I remember correctly the rate of the stress test was increased as inflation started to drive costs and rates up. While no fan of Trudeau the man, I can admit his government has done a reasonable job of managing the national economic situation during a global crisis.

Your math doesn't compute. Try any mortgage calculator and it doesn't display that. I just did one on Globe and Mail's version 2% and 4.5% all other terms the same $1270.35 and $1660.42. In 5 years the outstanding principal would be reduced and the increased rate would be put on a lower amount. Math doesn't lie, politicians do. Try it yourself and see. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/personal-finance/tools/mortgage-calculator/?utm_source=paidsearch&utm_medium=GoogleAd&utm_campaign=traf_mkt&utm_id=FY2023Brand&utm_term=ROB&utm_content=Tools_Mortgage_calculator&gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI65mineCB_wIV7zjUAR2GCg3eEAAYAiAAEgL8efD_BwE

Vikram is doing a great job since taking over, hoping they open the ice cream window for summer.

I believe you might have me confused with another poster whose name also starts with “G”. Pretty sure you are attributing someone else’s words to me. I currently buy my liquor from a private store, pricing is the same as a liquor mart but I can get gas, pick up my mail, mix and essential groceries all at the same time. Why does this model work outside Winnipeg and other large cities but shouldn’t be allowed in the city? The heart of my question is what are the profits derived from liquor mart sales, assuming they are being charged the same value on the distribution side that the current private vendors are?
