  1. I highly recommend if you are going to Vietnam on holiday that you take time to visit the Hanoi Hilton in....Hanoi. Well worth the time and gives you an appreciation for what prisoners like John McCain went through. Coincidentally when we were there in 2013 John McCain just happened to be in Hanoi and was going to be stopping in there only a few hours later. I thought that was kind of cool.
  2. I think a lot of Democrat politicians should act more like John McCain too. A good role model for both sides to follow.
  3. Still trying to understand why Wheels was so gassed in Round 3....
  4. I will agree that NG is the way to go. Nuclear as well. Not a big fan of coal. Or taxing CO2.
  5. McKenzie King blocked the immigration of thousands of Jewish people in the 1930's because he thought that he would lose votes in Quebec...where's the clamor to tear down his statue?
  6. Sorry but I will never "get used" to stupid and unfair taxes, foisted on us by elitists.
  7. Offers for what? To change the urinal pucks at the Bell Center?
  8. Dude it's a done deal. Notley is toast.
  9. What "alt-right" rhetoric is he using?
  10. Germans were the ones who started the civilian bombing so they can't complain.
  11. James Wilder Jr.
  12. Congrats on beating Calgary. Hopefully you showed our coaches how to beat those guys. I really despise Calgary.
  13. He threw 4 TD passes tonight according to CFL.ca.
  14. This game is far from over.
  15. Ottawa barely beat Montreal. We should have smoked them.
  16. Good grief could be three upsets this week.
  17. unless they are playing Winnipeg of course.
  18. Clements got his law degree in 1986. He was also hurt a lot. He probably realized that he could make more in law than in football, and not have broken ribs.
  19. Sure feels good seeing Teemu wearing that jersey instead of that ugly Ducks jersey...
  20. Lankford in for Dressler is a huge down-grade, would have rather seen the spot be filled by Peterman or Simonise...and Flanders getting a shot at spelling off Harris, except at the goal line of course...
  21. where are Addison Richards and Jade Etienne? They would have a shot at making the Riders right now too.
  22. if so I'll have to go back to my Lyle Bauer avatar.
  23. that definitely is a debate all right. On the surface of it, it would be hard to believe that it was going on, as the human mind probably can't even imagine such barbaric practice, by a supposed cultured and educated society.
  24. How about a compromise? The statue is left in place, but there is a full and honest disclosure of the good and the bad (treatment of Indigenous). I am just trying to be a pragmatist. I don't like efforts being made to erase historical figures completely, as we can't change history, only learn from it. Probably because Laurier was a Liberal. I don't know much about Laurier's immigration policies. We had to watch a movie the CBC made of him in history class, and I can honestly say that I slept through most of it. Mackenzie King was also a huge anti-Semite. He could have saved thousands of lives of Jewish people but instead let them be led off to the gas chambers (not that he knew this was happening of course). Mackenzie King's statue in Ottawa, on Parliament Hill. Should we prepare the bull-dozer?
