  1. I am partial to Wilfrid Laurier (on the five dollar bill) because he was a staunch free-trader and also stood up to the British and refused to buy a useless battle ship from them. But that's just me. What I didn't learn in school was that he was a total racist too apparently, towards FA and the Chinese. Of course he was a Liberal, just like King, and so their statues are safe for now. No one who governed in the past 100 years is clean when judged by today's moral standards.
  2. and he's going to win again, unless some people on the Democrat side realize how badly they screwed up the 2016 election.
  3. The walls have been closing in since February 2016...
  4. so who is going to be the Dems sacrificial lamb in 2020? Cuomo? Kennedy?
  5. Last 40 years? Try last 100 years!
  6. I always thought it was written by the Victors, but then I realized that it was supposed to be "small v" and not guys named Victor. Other than Victor Hugo of course.
  7. Canadian dollar not helping us right now either...is the CFL getting anything from ESPN?
  8. Not sure why Laine goes through these annual bouts of self-confidence issues...but then again he's 20. What was Scheif doing when he was 20?
  9. Just as judging historical figures by current mores. In a hundred years David Suzuki will be considered a Nazi...
  10. I don't think many statues will be left in a few years. William Lyon McKenzie King denied many Jewish immigrants entry to Canada in the 1930's because he was scared of losing votes in Quebec. A lot of those immigrants died. Should he have a statue?
  11. snowmobiling was fun on the farm, never knew when you would smoke into a piece of farm equipment hidden in the snow at 50 miles an hour. HA, good times.
  12. Herman Wouk and Kirk Douglas both made it through 2018. Wow, that's impressive. I may have to read the Caine Mutiny and watch the movie again too.
  13. isn't it Mark and Mark according to Sportsnet?
  14. I have seen Rider garb pretty much all over the world. Even at NFL games, for some reason.
  15. Watch the movie MacGyver some time.
  16. I don't know what NHL Ticket is. Are you talking about Centre Ice?
  17. I pay $180 a year to watch a dedicated stream from Rogers Gamecenter, and for some reason this game was "blacked out" for me. I could watch all the other games, just not the Oilers/Jets. I don't get it.
  18. Couldn't watch the game online...total bullshit...#rogerscrapcentre
  19. I was thinking Dave Babych was coming out of retirement...
  20. Leafs acquire Hutch! https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/leafs-acquire-goaltender-michael-hutchinson-panthers-5th-rounder/
