  2. great drive chart, thanks, just one thing for next game @Atomic, need an exclamation point after the touchdowns ! (kidding)
  3. some quarterbacks can handle players coming at them with "bad intentions" and keep their composure, maybe Streveler is one of them.
  4. interesting cause people said Streveller didn't look that good in training, and Ross looked good in training. NIce to see a guy do well who played in S Dakota. I like that for some reason.
  5. Already hearing about when Jerry was in Atlanta. both boring, and annoying. Hope it doesn't snow tonight in the peg. Seems cold enough.
  6. nice howling wind. got to be up around 40 kph. Not the best way to see what our new qbs' can do, although they probably have howling winds in S Dakota.
  7. So, Canada hammered the most by Trump. I Hope this hammers the people who voted for him, and from what I've read.... it will. Job losses on Texas businesses involved in oil pipelines, who use Canadian steel. How much damage will Trump do, before somebody with some sense, puts the brakes on him.
  8. "The Manziels" 😂
  9. You now hear heads of friendly states saying things that I've never heard, eg, the President of the EU said "with friends like this who needs enemies" a few weeks ago.
  10. Trump seems to be going off the rails. He's losing it. trade war is on, then off, then on. in the space of a few weeks.
  11. referees are preseason practising throwing flags. If Manziel plays well, would Hamilton trade Masoli? to Montreal?
  12. neither team very impressive.
  13. https://tunein.com/radio/TSN-Radio-690-s12472/ Good luck to Drew. Hope he can find success in Montreal.
  14. high praise.
  15. I remember thinking Johnny Augustine looked very good, when he worked out for the combine, a few years ago. I recall that I thought he looked quick and speedy. And pretty strong. I was surprised he did not get signed. Seems to be really hoping to play in the CFL. So, I'm Interested in seeing what he can do.
  16. not necessarily. He who controls the refinery, controls the price of the refined product. one of the stock answers as to why retail gas price is going up, when price per barrel is going down is "refinery shutdown" anyway, I just read that all you have to do is install upgraders in Alberta to process dilbit..... then (so I read) the product can be refined at any refinery. why not at least do that? A refinery would have probably cost less than what this pipeline is going to cost. The one they built in Alberta was ten billion. Pipeline is going to cost more than that. and, I don't trust big energy companies.
  17. New renewable solar is cheaper right now, in Chile, than any other energy. 2.148 cents per kilowatt hour. no subsidy.
  18. What do expect for Trent Corney? I thought he looked very fast last season, chased down a QB on the other side of the field on a play that I noticed his speed on.
  19. Bloomberg There are all kinds of examples of this, and lots of reporting on it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/energyinnovation/2018/01/23/cheap-renewables-keep-pushing-fossil-fuels-further-away-from-profitability-despite-trumps-efforts/#66ef076e6ce9 Storage is being be solved, in the meantime, keep using natgas till not needed.
  20. I just read, as an example, currently the Alberta dilbit is piped to Oklahoma. Oklahoma is landlocked. So being landlocked has nothing to do with refining crude. time sensitive..... same thing applies. If time mattered, then it makes more sense to do it in Alberta. Also just read..... we send the raw material to the states, they refine it, then send it back to us, and charge us for the final products. how does that make economic sense? You're right that renewable is the future, and sadly I haven't heard a thing about investing in it, from Trudeau, or Notley, or anyone in Canada. or encouraging investment in it, in this country. It's just about oil. shortsighted. and I admit, I know little about dilbit processing, oil markets, and the rest of it. But It bugs me that it hasn't even been considered in public discussions.
  21. Not sure these excuses add up.
  22. Elizabeth May April 18 2018. Again, why can't we have the refinery jobs in Canada? stupid thinking.
