Good to see after all that a loony tune can still walk into Parliament and start shooting people. All I know is it's likely Harper's fault......................

This....each one is tuned to a different key, so you can swap out from song to song, without having to stand there and tune while the audience gets bored. Standard practice.

Prior to his retirement, my dad worked in protective services for a federal agency (firefighter by schooling, later security and first response as well) and immediately after 9/11, they got a MASSIVE increase in their annual budget and the perceived importance of their job changed completely. They began training with the RCMP out of D Dvision in Winnipeg and a bunch of other stuff. Short story: the government took security at all federal facilities EXTREMELY seriously post 9/11, so if I had to guess, I'd say the PMs personal detail 24/7 woulda been beefed up...

If True North is involved in helping book the band, I wouldn't completely rule it out. TN already handles the IGF booking iirc. Nobody in Winnipeg has anything to do with booking the entertainment for Grey Cup. The league itself is solely responsible for the Grey Cup and it's half time entertainment. The team is waiting on the announcement as much as anyone else. It's all up to the league.

The pre-taping for stuff like this, and awards shows, has more to do with timing than anything. They need to make sure that the half time fits the TV schedule, and it's easier to do that when they have the exact time ahead of time.....thus, pre-recording.....

So an American, semi-relevant Rock act.......very interesting.....

IMO, Hall has done enough to stick around in the DC capacity. Just need an OC and an heir apparent at ST.....

I'd really like to think we could do better than Lapo......

If it's not Getzlaf or Perry coming back, I'm not interested...

Because that's what a sitting MLA needs.....**** sakes....

For years, people lost their minds around here because our management team didn't do enough. They screamed about how other teams were proactive, even if it meant bending the rules a little bit. Finally, we have a 3-man (Maybe 4, if you count Wade as 2 people...) crew that works together in lock-step on all issues (as has been reported ad nauseum) and is reportedly so angry about how this season turned out, they're now already working toward fixing things for next year. And people continue to wail. Let's all just take a step back and relax a bit....

Don't contact any team during the season. The season is over in a week. If it's a playoff team wait until they're eliminated or win the Grey Cup. Play by the rules & at least have integrity. Like I said, how would we like it if the roles were reversed? As fans we would be upset. What goes around, comes around. If you think that this sort of stuff doesn't go on all the time in this league, you are very naive. And you are.... what GM??? You have no clue if it does or doesn't. You just think it does. If this was the Stamps doing it, you'd be all in favour and screaming about why Miller and Co aren't. This is why I don't take your bitching seriously...no matter what you rabble rabble about "old school Bombers fan!!11!", you're a Stamps fan first and foremost......

Should wait until the stink is off. It'll take awhile to air out that legacy...

fyp.

I'm gonna guess Arkells. Not Canadian. Check again. He's saying the band that is tentatively scheduled is not Canadian, therefore it's not the Arkells.......(...not saying the Arkells aren't Canadian, as they obviously are...from Hamilton area...)

'Burtans are just crazy enough to think this is actually a good idea....

Things that happen when you try to do something on the cheap. Do it right the first time, regardless of cost, and don't worry about it again.

Well, you've already got Richie Hall there. I think if you are constantly worried about your assistants "stealing" your job, then you're not doing a good enough job of your own.....and now Iso and the rest go "EXACTLY!!".....but I really don't think MOS is concerning himself with looking over his shoulder. He's just doing everything in his power to win, each and every week....

Everything that we've ever been told about this regime is that they work together on everything. I have no reason to believe that there's all of a sudden a weird anomaly.....it makes no sense based on precedent.

gbill is frustrated. We all are. Some of us just handle things more maturely than others...

Unless he's not meddling.....

TrueBlue is a good poster....I'm a fan of his work. Understand what gbill is saying, but it's excessive.

Surprised good or surprised bad? that'll be surprised good based on TrueBlue saying last week that he'd heard some rumours that would piss people off....

All I can say is, from some of the things I've heard, glad he's in Buffalo. Same goes for Kane. Talk about a fleecing. Read the hockey news and all you need to know about Kane and what he thought about this city is spelled out That kinda stuff really chaps my ass. As a rural-MBer, I'm certainly not always a fan of Winnipeg, but I will always defend it against people who aren't from the province who want to **** on it. Kane can get ******...good riddance.

Yikes.......time for a time-out for ol' gbill......?
