Of course it's going to justify its cost. It's silly to even suggest otherwise. It's a complete fallacy to suggest that Canada's production, even if increased because of pipelines, is going to have any effect whatsoever on this man-made climate change thingey. It's like certain groups of Canadians willingly want to be martyrs and cause Canadians mass suffering for absolutely no gain to anyone for some reason. It makes NO sense, and is ridiculous to even contemplate.

It's simple math. If we can ship product to a foreign market, we get more money for our oil. If we don't have a pipeline to tidewater, the oil has to flow, to the US. Via railcar. This doesn't help anyone. Including the environment. It's bad policy. We need more pipelines. One of the biggest fallacies of the entire anti-pipeline argument. It's not about increasing the amount that Canada produces. It's about getting more for the product we are already producing. I don't know what a "climate crisis" is but every week there seems to be a new fear-mongering term that is created to describe the hypothesis of man-made climate change. This pipeline argument has nothing to do with that hypothesis, and its disingenuous to even go there. And if you are capable of doing math, you'd see that this is a policy of economic destruction. Of course, if you subscribe to the chicken little sky is falling panicky stuff about the man-made climate change hypothesis, then all bad economy-destroying ideas are good ones, because you can justify anything, no matter how silly or uneconomic, when you are being panicked by special interests.

our pipeline just got held up again in court because our government (Federal) couldn't be bothered to show up to present evidence. Why didn't they?

completely missed the point. Having no pipelines means we sell our oil at a much cheaper rate, and you know who suffers? All Canadians! We get way less in taxes!! It's not about "oil companies", it's about our country. And like I said, $30 million isn't nearly enough to combat the forces of evil trying to keep Canadians from getting more money in our pockets. Somehow, Norway is always held up as some gold standard because they have this giant oil fund. Great for them! They sell their oil for way more per barrel than we do, because they aren't land-locked. Why can't we be like Norway? Because we live next door to a neighbour that doesn't play fair. And we fall for this nonsense they peddle, and allow them to control our courts. It's just so sad.

What kind of "misinformation" would that be? My understanding is that the Conservatives are trying to fight a losing battle against extremely well funded US anti-pipeline slimeballs. What is your information?

Bruce Hyer. Now here's one - can you name a Green candidate who wasn't born in the US.

He's Mark Wheeler's brother in law.

Unfortunately $30 million is nothing compared to the billions of dollars from US "environmental groups" who fund all of the law-suits that tie up Canadian oil and gas pipeline development indefinitely, leaving this giant pool of cheap energy for the US to exploit. And the people here in Canada just fall for it over and over and over again. I support some kind of action to counter the nonsense from foreign interests, but $30 million ain't nearly enough.

How is anyone going to know it's an 80's party? What is going to be different from a regular football game at Mosaic?

having lived in Australia I can definitely say that there are some major advantages to their system.

Nichols when he is in happy feet mode does one initial read and then if that's not there he auto-fires the ball into the stands. See Hamilton game this year and West Final last year for proof. It is maddening.

Fajardo = the new Ron Lancaster. Tino Sunseri was supposed to be that guy, but now he sucks.

yup, we were one on target throw from Strevs to Harris away from the GC last year...

Rod Black is that you?

John White?

yeah probably hasn't even started shaving yet! Wait until he really matures. Huge upside.

been pretty impressed with Dejarlais so far, glad to see that kid developing quickly. Hopefully we can keep this O-line intact for several Grey Cups to come....

I am a big Bailey fan after that game. I liked his Peterman-like determination to get YAC.

ha yeah Matt insisted on telling the entire Banjo Bowl story, even with Rod continually saying "we don't need to repeat what Westwood said" and interrupting as Matt was trying to tell the story. Matt just kept going, including correcting Black when he said that Westwood had recanted his banjo-pickin' inbred comment, by saying "yeah, he said that 80% of the people in Saskatchewan can't play the banjo!!" Ha ha ha I was loving that. You know Suits wouldn't ever go there.

I liked how Matt noticed what all of us Bomber old-timers have recognized, that Daniel Peterman is a Rick House clone. I even liked his nick-name for Peterman - "Sweet Feet". I hope that it sticks, for a long and successful Bomber career for Mr. Peterman.

At the end of the home game against the Lions, I was watching Duron Carter. Unlike most of his team-mates who were out on the field doing post-game visiting with the Bombers, he sat on the bench, and then slowly made his way to say hi to Jefferson, who was engaged with a couple of Lions in some post game friendly chatting. Carter walked up to Jefferson and tried to do a hand-shake, Jefferson shook his hand and then turned away again and left Carter just standing there. Then Carter shrugged and ran off to the dressing room. I am sure Jefferson wants to forget all of the D-bags he had to play with in Saskatchewan.

I saw Hardrick walking by a flag that was mysteriously on the field, but didn't know what the story was.

Where have I heard this before?
