  1. Please tell me there is someone he hangs out with who has the nickname "Shock".
  2. Streetheart performed at the first concert I ever went to. They and Trooper were the only bands that performed in places like Brandon when I was a teenager. RIP
  3. And we could both buy lots of Kraft Dinner.
  4. If I had a dollar for every post I've seen here complaining about an illegal block being missed by the officials when it's the opposition who has a big return I'd be rich. As usual, the officials are damned if they do, damned if they don't.
  5. Exaggerating a little there. The Command Centre reviews TDs & TOs but on the vast majority of plays there is no delay in the game. Fans do want egregious plays overturned but what's egregious to one fan isn't necessarily egregious to another.
  6. IIRC Mike O'Shea challenged an illegal block on a return last season.
  7. I don't know if this has been asked in this thread or elsewhere but has anyone asked Trestman why he didn't challenge the illegal block penalty on the called back kick-off return? It was in the 2nd quarter, he hadn't used either challenge then and it was a challengeable play.
  8. They're saying Jennings is week-to-week.
  9. The CFL/NFL official exchange program is back this year. In the Bombers/Argos game there was an official whose number isn't listed in the 2017 Rule Book or on the CFL Officials website. An NFL official perhaps?
  10. Calgary just brought back Ben D'Aguila who was released in mid-June. Is that a Joe Mack move too?
  11. There was a young lady from Venus whose body was shaped like a... Oops. Sorry, wrong fandom.
  12. There is no way he would play on Friday if the Bombers were to sign him.
  13. The Chretien Liberals did screw up. There is no doubt. Fact is it was the Harper government's cases that the Supreme Court of Canada ruled against 3 times.
  14. There is no grey area when it comes to the settlement. It has nothing to do with what did or didn't happen in that compound in Afghanistan. The settlement is strictly regarding the actions and non-actions of the Canadian government when Khadr was held at Guantanamo Bay. The Harper government went to court to have Khadr's sentence declared an adult sentence. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled against them. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/omar-khadr-youth-or-adult-question-decided-by-top-court/article24421830/ It amazes me that people rely on anything that came out of Guantanamo Bay as being the truth. It opened in 2002 and still has detainees there as of January, 2017. Of the 775 people who were detained there, there were a grand total of 8 convictions and 4 of those have already been overturned on appeal. The American government ignored international law - holding people for years without charges and no access to counsel, torturing/killing detainees and the list goes on. The only kangaroo court in this case is the US military commission.
  15. It was a guesstimate based on the $5M cost over 15 years. How long do you think it would take to litigate the civil suit to the end? Another 10 - 15 years?
  16. Excerpt regarding a solar border wall with Mexico:
  17. And Chelsea Clinton's response:
