  2. stanley pounded a montreal player, it was a buff level hit. completely clean. I know little, but he looks good to me. team misses buff and laine on power play.
  3. fast pace no whistle.
  4. Hope everyone remembers when the conservatives under Harper pulled this off: (ela is experimental lakes area, harper saved seven million dollars closing it down ) The decision to abruptly defund the ELA was widely condemned by the Canadian and international scientific community. The scientific journal Nature in 2012, described the decision as "disturbing", and said that it "is hard to believe that finance is the true reason" for the closure.[21] An open letter from five prominent scientific organizations, the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, the Ecological Society of America, the International Society of Limnology, the Society of Canadian Limnologists, and the Society for Freshwater Sciences, expressed concern over the impact that a closure would have "on the strong and creative science that has been, and continues to be, conducted by Canadian freshwater researchers."[40][41]An organization of Canadian citizens and scientists spearheaded by Diane Orihel, the Coalition to Save ELA[24] has been formed to pressure the Canadian government to reverse the decision to close the Experimental Lakes Area. ELA has produced 745 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 126 graduate theses, 102 book chapters and synthesis papers, 185 data reports, and several books. ELA scientists have been the recipients of numerous prestigious international water awards, including the Stockholm Water Prize, the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement[23] and the Gerhard Herzberg Gold Medal for Science and Engineering.[22][24][25] the conservatives do not like science.
  5. More to it than the gameitself. Some of the Canucks who play in the CFL are community leaders, people to look up to, and follow. O'Shea is a great example. so is Andrew Harris.
  6. he's on the money on this. thing I dont like is the possibility of losing the ratio my favourite part of the cfl is having canadian players.
  7. at least as a whole they're honest troglodytes. anyway, if you pretend to be concerned, your in a better position to stall, and carry on with the usual.
  8. schedule lost that game.
  9. Canada is fortunate thar our transition from colony to sovereign country was peaceful, and done through negotiation, and passage of laws. americans never stop spouting about the founders. and the revolution... the "tree of liberty" our path .... superior..
  10. wtf America https://www.yahoo.com/news/elderly-asian-woman-fights-back-153513022.html some people have been predicting these events for years. the violence Americans inflict abroad, coming home.
  11. jets backchecking seems a bit dodgy I was wondering if the coach is telling them not to go too far into their own end. I don't know.

  14. montreal goalie gives rebounds a lot fast pace good game
  15. best ever comeback. @17to85
  16. hold on to your hat: The Independent "Mr Biden said he had warned his Russian counterpart about a potential response from the US during a call in January. “He will pay a price,” Mr Biden said. “We had a long talk ... and the conversation started off, I said, ‘I know you and you know me. If I establish this occurred, ( election interference 2020) then be prepared. Asked whether he believes Mr Putin is a “killer” in a pre-taped interview that aired on Wednesday, the president responded: “I do.” “The price he’s going to pay, you’ll see shortly,” he said.
  17. violent Christians. no problem there.

  20. the South. bringing back the good old days. comedy noir in the usa.
  21. might be hard to believe, but its true. if you want to find out about it, I can post something. here. https://ieefa.org/ieefa-update-renewables-surpass-coal-in-u-s-power-generation-throughout-the-month-of-april-2020/ "Coal’s high cost has made it increasingly one of the last fuel choices for many utilities, a trend reflected by its declining market share for electric generation: just 15.3% in April, according to preliminary EIA figures." This , below is 2019, so the advantage for renewable is larger now. cost continues to drop. "Prices per megawatt hour from electricity for coal-fired power plants range from a low of $60 to a high of $143, according to Lazard, a financial advisory firm that publishes annual estimates of the total cost of producing electricity. This is the levelized cost, which includes the cost to build, operate, fuel and maintain a power plant. Wind is significantly cheaper: Unsubsidized, levelized prices per megawatt hour of electricity from wind range from $29 to $56, according to Lazard’s most recent figures." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2019/06/04/climate-change-coal-now-more-expensive-than-wind-solar-energy/1277637001/ Has nothing to do withn subsidies or incentives. just straight cheaper to build renewable. If you are talking about manitoba, its bringing up the rear on this, so yeah, coal might be cheaper. USA is where these figures are from.
  22. a bit disorganised. morrisey bad pass .... goal. phooey.
  23. coal is not cheap. Bloomberg: In most places in the U.S., most of the time, it now costs more to produce an additional kilowatt hour of electricity with coal than with any other major energy source. NPR: "Preston says that right now, coal is more expensive than natural gas, wind or solar in many parts of the country. So when demand slows, coal plants are the first to shut down."
  24. indie sci fi movies very good the endless netflix.... unsettling "If you have a good idea, a strong cast, a smart script, and directorial chops, you don't need a lot of money to make a compelling movie. "The Endless" is proof. Overseen by the filmmaking team of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead—who specialize in brainy meta-horror, and who star as brothers who decide to revisit the UFO cult where they grew up—this is a movie that plays with our perceptions of time, space, and reality, and sketches the outlines of unimaginable terror while leaving the details to our imagination. " monsters free on youtube Monsters is a 2010 British science-fiction horror film written and directed by Gareth Edwards in his feature-film directorial debut. Edwards also served as the cinematographer, production designer, and visual effects artist. Monsters takes place years after a NASA probe crashed in Mexico, which led to the sudden appearance of giant tentacled monsters. It follows Andrew Kaulder (Scoot McNairy), an American photojournalist tasked with escorting his employer's daughter Samantha Wynden (Whitney Able) back to the United States by crossing through Mexico's "Infected Zone" where the creatures reside. the signal .... remarkable movie also unsettling http://www.tmrzoo.com/2014/61850/movie-review-signal-highly-recommended "spectral" on netflix..... not indie but very good.
