I can't stand the guy. I'll admit I liked Clerks and Mallrats, but Kevin Smith the man just seems like a total ******.

Ya that was sarcasm about Tlusty. What do you mean no room for Halischuk? We don't have many forwards under contract... yet. There might still be a spot for Hali, especially on a nice 2-way deal.

Welcome to the site, Darvin, you handsome devil.

I think we can all agree the one guy we need to re-sign is Tlusty. Whatever it takes.

Yeah, I specifically meant today's Canada. Hard work in 1917 Russia wouldn't get you much lol.

No need to get defensive.

This game is hard to watch.

In a perfect meritocracy where those who put in more effort got equivalent rewards, I would agree with you, but our society doesn't reward people like that. Not always, but often, yes that's the way it works. If you work hard, you will get results, 99% of the time. Do some people start off with more privileges? Of course! But that's just the way it is. Life's not fair and no government can make it fair. Removing the potential of great rewards for great work... the thought of that disgusts me. I think Canada has struck a nice balance, to be honest. If you strive for greatness, you will have every opportunity to achieve it. If you are disabled or otherwise unable to work, you can usually find the help you need to get by. Not always, but usually.

I would argue that keeping everyone at the same level is a worthy goal. Wealth and income inequality are not things a country should aspire to.Reading this makes me sick to my stomach. Why does it make you sick to your stomach - why does anyone deserve to be elevated over anyone else? Because people elevate themselves. We should help those who are unable to work and support themselves but we should also allow those who want to be great, to be great. Everyone gets what they earn. My question to you would be, why should we stifle the best and brightest in order to elevate those who aren't willing to work for their rewards?

Right because we only keep 6 defencemen on the roster. Just kidding that was sarcasm we always have 8 or more.

I'm willing to bet that Noeller is one of the cheapest guys out there. Just something about that cranky old man mentality that screams bargain hunter.

Odell maybe but Maurice liked Postma. He wasn't playing later in the year because he got hurt but before that he was getting plenty of ice. I think they will re-sign Postma.

It's not illegal to view an illegally provided stream.

Norway is a physically tiny country with what, 6 million people? Doesn't seem like a great comparison to me.

I know what you're saying but your definition of what constitutes "tv" is outdated and a little too broad. There is no such thing as "free" TV anymore as the broadcast signals available to antenna have been virtually cut off. Everyone that wants to access broadcast media has to pay for cable or an Internet connection at least. Why is it too broad? It is what it is. Content providers are free to choose their delivery methods and set the price points they want. This gives consumers 2 choices. Either accept the delivery model and pay for it at the price point they set or do without. Or get it for free.

Well holy ****. What a world we live in! Good for her!

The KBF's and RagingIce's of the world have already made up their minds, but the undecided out there might still learn stuff. No offence to the posters here but I would hope this wasn't the main source of research for the undecided. Many voters don't even do that much research.

For some reason I thought that it was the Wachowski brothers, not brother and sister. Am I having a stroke?

If you're looking for concrete sourced material on which to base your decision on whom to vote for I hope you don't rely on a sports fan forum! I don't know anything about politics. I'm thinking about running for MP in the next election.

This is a funny thread because so far no one has actually provided any real, sourced facts. RagingIce came the closest but far too outdated for my liking. KBF is.... passionate, but no real, sourced facts yet. Lots of pretty words from TUP but no actual facts. Where's the stats and facts? Come on guys I want some real info! Let's get serious here.

Injury??... I was actually just thinking the other day... do the Bombers dress Thomas, Westerman and Brown on game days?... will there be any import back ups on the DL? I'll be really surprised if we don't use a di spot on a de. I'm guessing we use our di's for rb, de, db, & a returner. I'll be surprised if we don't keep Santella around and use a DI on him.

Taynt, I hear ya on the slow pacing. I loved the last couple episode of season 5 but for the most part it felt like 8 episodes of build up for one massive pay-off. But I don't put all the criticism on the show's writers. They did a great job of cutting out a lot of the monotony from the books.... The number of storylines running by book 5 is staggering and half of them feel totally superfluous.

I think I probably just have a different perspective of what that character is supposed to be like and I feel like she nails it.
