  1. or a milf thread where I can get an update on libraries?
  2. I agree Bob was the most valuable player in that game, but if Michael Gray doesn't intercept Dunigan's pass on the 5 yard line....
  3. if we did all the Bomber players would have to wear triple-digit numbers by now.
  4. Yup Bray makes that catch Montreal probably wins.
  5. That was Kamau level.
  6. Quan Bray looking like he went to the Chris Brazzell school of pass catching.
  7. Montreal needs to respond here
  8. All right Montreal with the lead!
  9. Montreal has some really good receivers
  10. Adam's really knifed it in there to him.
  11. Chris Matthews with the big catch!
  12. It's like listening to coyotes howling
  13. Ed Gainey miked up. Oh joy.
  14. Cheering for Khari and against the Riders. #perfectSaturdaynight
  15. No way was that a fumble.
  16. Hank Illesic and Bob Cameron- hard to pick between those two.
  17. Come on Alouettes
  18. and I'm not sure why the oil sands are even mentioned. I spent two summers on oil rigs in Canada. We were drilling for good quality Canadian oil, no where near the oil sands. Trying to tie pipelines to oil sands is just as disingenuous as beaking on about the man-made climate change hypothesis and pipelines. It's dishonest.
  19. hear hear!!! Shame on you Amnesty International! You are no better than the evil Tides Foundation!!! I refer to Jason Kenney’s recent reply to a certain confused and apparently under-worked nuisance at Amnesty International Canada. Said nuisance raised the fraught charge that the Alberta government, in setting up a fund to research the voluminous alarms, thunderbolts, lies and slanders that have for three decades now been hurled upon the workers and industry of Canada’s oilsands by huffy NGOs, various self-declared environmentalists and busybodies of the global warming establishment, is violating “human rights.” (The Post has already published Mr. Kenney’s letter and linked to that of A.I.) Among the many moments of blind amusement in Amnesty International’s cri de’coeur, my favourite is this treasure. It keens that Mr. Kenney’s move will “… cast an incredible chill amongst environmental groups and others in the province …” Well, I should certainly hope so. First, because that is what it is expressly intended to do, i.e., halt the flood of reckless and unsubstantiated alarmism and obstruction that has hobbled or halted every major initiative in the Alberta oilsands since the dinosaurs did a harakiri or were buried under comet spray. Second — and this is an “I hope we’re on the same page here” remark — isn’t the production of an “incredible chill” the very goal and ambition of all fervid Save-The-Planeters? I say well done Mr. Kenney — your statesmanship here is even more effective than a carbon tax. Now to the letter. It’s fun to read. The poor Amnesty stooges who talk of human rights in Alberta — excluding the possible human right to the dignity of a real job — are generously, and accurately knocked by comparison with their putatively more laboured peers dealing with such Edens of human rights as Saudi Arabia, poor, socialist, tottering, toilet-paper-short Venezuela, Iran of the holiday camp jails, and ever welcoming (ask Greenpeace) Russia. Here’s Jason Kenney spending real money to cool down some of the most overheated elements in society A.I. in those countries may actually have a purpose. But back in smiling, apologetic Canada the best they can attend to are “triggered” social justice warriors of the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, and the David Suzuki Foundation. Headlines please: “Interns at the World Wildlife Fund are feeling a chill in Alberta hell. Summon the security council. Text the Hague Court. Amnesty worried that for climate activists who want to set up house on a tree branch, or chain themselves to a bulldozer to protest oilsands, Alberta is North Korea with pickups and chinooks.” As Mr. Conrad, or was it Marlon Brando, so prophetically put it: “The horror! The horror!” Minor diversion: Where is Canada’s Amnesty during the very real human rights crisis in Toronto? The deep-fried chicken terror. Witnesses horror-struck. One traumatized spectator unveiled the full savagery of the thing when he noted, in a Toronto Star column (italics his): “People are not just going to Chick-fil-A to eat fried chicken. They’re eating fried chicken spitefully.” Terror via mastication. If Amnesty Canada is really looking for a cause, head to Bloor and Yonge in Toronto. I have not space to cite Mr. Kenney’s billet-doux further. It is, as said, available. And I suggest you tear yourself away from all the wonderful panels and Twitter-bots on the mesmerizing ¾ leaders debate, prime the coffee pot, and enjoy a chuckle and a well-delivered (metaphorical, of course) smack to the side of the head. A communication from a government that says what it means and means what it says. It is a miracle in our time. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-chillin-with-jason-kenneys-miraculous-letter
  20. 100% agree. Well said.
  21. This statement makes no sense. Let's just agree to disagree on this and move on. I don't know what "tar sands" are, but I assume this is a reference to oil trapped in sand in the Fort McMurray area? You know that Alberta has other sources of oil right? And Saskatchewan too? And Manitoba? To say that all of the oil in Canada comes from oil sand is the height of ignorance. But like I said, time to move on. Science doesn't back up anything that you are saying. If "science" is saying that bankrupting Canada and forcing the entire country into poverty will end this "climate crisis" fallacy, then show me where it says that. The entire concept is just poppycock. It's not just "wishful thinking" to say that Canada needs to destroy it's economy, it's madness. As with all of our discussions, we just end up so diametrically opposed that there is no even half-way. I've said what I've had to say. I have zero respect for anyone who against more pipelines in Canada. These people are truly clueless and oblivious to reality.
