  1. Remember when Kyle Walters went into the offseason and the one before that and the one before that saying money was tight not sure if everyone can come back... and then retained most of the key pieces anyway? Yeah these guys don't go bragging about how much money they have to spend. If anyone thinks the Bombers don't have the money to keep Kyle Walters well I just don't know what to tell you...
  2. This is such a bullshit boomer argument. I snapped at the in-laws for parroting the false narrative that the NDP were bad for the budget. NDP came into power as oil was cratering. No **** they had a deficit and no wonder the UCP got a surplus when oil bounced back this past year. for 40 years Alberta governments rode the oil royalty gravy train for easy surpluses. The NDP didn't piss away a billion dollars on a pipeline that had no chance of ever being built Trump win or no Trump win. The NDP didn't give away big money in corporate tax cuts to watch businesses still pull up shop and leave. The NDP didn't piss away millions on a do nothing war room to go tilting after windmills. There are elements within the NDP that are extreme and I don't like that, but Rachel Notley showed herself to be a very pragmatic leader in a time when that is in short supply. You are very quick to hand wave away Danielle Smiths so called distractions... but with her it's not really a distraction. This is the reason she never unseated the PCs before when she was running the Wild Rose party. She doesn't know when to shut up. Other conservative politicians play the game and keep the quiet part quiet and work insidiously to undermine our social safety net and public institutions so that the rich get richer, but Smith just can't keep her big mouth shut and spills the beans all the time.
  3. OK so paper straws suck ass, especially with little kids... but you know what I do? I bought some stainless steel straws for the kids to use and I just deal with the paper straws, or you know.. .drink without a straw like a man... and keep on living my life. Of all the things to get pissy about ******* straws. This woman needs to get the **** gone yesterday.
  4. A glimpse inside the mind of people like Danielle Smith. Those people are bag of cats crazy
  5. The thing that really separates Allen and Glenn is the Allen didn't fold in the big games.
  6. Miller is just trying to keep the price down. Walters ain't going anywhere unless he wants to.
  7. Walters didn't sign collaros and oshea for 3 more seasons to walk away after next season.
  8. Alberta suspended their gas tax... know what happened? Stations charged 10 cents more per litre. (Tax was 8 cents I believ)
  9. Can't see him giving oshea 3 years if he doesn't plan on being around for it.
  10. And can't blame an assistant for keeping their options open.
  11. But she acts like she won a huge mandate
  12. When did he ever have a good offensive line? The only time he didn't embarrass himself was with an offensive coordinator who did everything possible to hide his limitations. Lots of run game, almost all short, quick passes and most importantly never kept faj in the pocket. That might not work so well now. Teams know the book on faj.
  13. This right here. I find this site has a pretty good cross section of society in my opinion. Way more than most places on the web.
  14. It's not even just in politics. This idea some people have that they can go 20 pages deep in a Google search and find one opinion that matches their belief and call into question legitimate research because of that... stupidity of the highest order.
  15. This while thing that is going on in society where people think they can just believe away facts they don't like is a cancer on the world and it's high time that the bullshit was stomped out for good.
  16. Speesflex is just turning into Dave Ritchie. Rookies and young players = always worse than veterans and not worth putting time into.
  17. that whopping 2% percentage sure made a difference...
  18. BPs used to be an ok place for easy inoffensive food to take a family but I have found the "quality" is way down in recent years and the price is just always up and up and up.
  19. Mark Washington and Barron Miles are the same person and always have been. Change my mind.
  20. Deep down Harper may be a far right lunatic but he also didn't govern like that. Honestly he was a pretty do nothing prime minister to be honest.
  21. It's a deal struck in a minority situation
