This is completely predictable. And the Americans have been running around pronouncing what N Korea had to do. The new USA: Uninformed, inexperienced, rash, and ill prepared.

Trump wants us to get rid of our Drug prices control system, which every western country except the United States has. Americans pay among the highest prices in the world for drugs. He want us to join the USA. Telegraph: Our prices are set by AGREEMENT with the pharmaceutical companies. We have a board, the patent medicines prices review board that acts together with the drug companies to set prices. Every western world country has one,except the USA. The American government won't even allow their own government, the largest drug buyer by far, to negotiate volume discounts. talk about corruption. Imagine telling Walmart, sorry, no volume discounts. "The PMPRB protects and informs Canadians by ensuring that the prices of patented medicines sold in Canada are not excessive and by reporting on pharmaceutical trends." Remember, it's in the US, that we get the stories of prices being increased by thousands of percent, cause they can. Check out the price increase on the epi pen. Still like Trump?

"....... John Hagee, one of America’s most prominent end-times preachers, once said that Hitler was sent by Godto drive the Jews to their ancestral homeland. ( At the opening of the embassy) He gave the closing benediction. He argued in a late 1990s sermon that the Nazis had operated on God's behalf to chase the Jews from Europe and shepherd them to Palestine. According to the Reverend, Adolph Hitler was a "hunter," sent by God, who was tasked with expediting God's will of having the Jews re-establish a state of Israel. Zionist evangelicals believe that the return of Jews to Israel will usher in the apocalypse and the return of Christ, after which Jews who don’t convert will burn forever." That's partly what this is about, who Trump did this for. Them, and for the Israeli's who want to annex territory siezed in the 67 war. And the Saudis are ok with this too. It's another consequence of Trump, his ignorance, personal troubles, and delusions, as is everything he does. This is another marker on the road away from the US. The Israelis should be investigated for murder. This is going to leave a feeling of revulsion world wide.

yes, too bad. She had a tough life.

I figured there must be other Alex Rosses in Manitoba history... with all of the scots that came over with the HBC for the fur trade. Must be a distant relative. (kidding) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Ross_(fur_trader)

Hockey schools are going to be showing a lot of Laine videos in the coming years. on Laine's goal they have one guy on stastny, three around scheifele, and nobody on Laine.

We haven't heard much if anything about what individual CFL players think. I expect most are probably ok with Durant's move, but won't say it.

Trouba's bodycheck in the third period was a classic. Didn't realize how solid he is. Every guy on the team played really well.

other team is good, but this game was never ini doubt.

good luck pushing buff around.

should have hsad that one helle

american tv announcer, said "no way is that interference going to overturned" when it was overturned he said " puck went in before contact" idiot

yup

no bullshit penalties please lol refs.

Wheeler set up man, they just don't know what to do with him over at his spot on the circle. He's deadly with those passes. thinking this series could be over pretty quickly.

Germany ignores Trump/USA starts building gas pipeline to connect with Russian natural gas. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Natural-Gas/Germany-Moves-Forward-With-Controversial-Nord-Stream-Two.html US is losing quickly losing leverage/influence in international matters. If the Europeans, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, can patch together a way to keep the Iran nuclear agreement in place, i think it's a significant event. China, the no 1 customer for Iranian oil announced no intention of not continuing to buy Iran's oil. Withdraw from Paris climate agreement, the TPP, threaten to leave NAFTA, leave the Iranian agreement. (12 years in the making), throw up arbitrary, ill planned tariffs. There are consequences to these actions.

worst flooding in two hundred years. (worse than '48 in Grand Forks B.C.) We should all get used to hearing "worst" ... fire, flood, windstorm, snowstorm, icestorm, drought etc.

sporting news

Some quarterbacks have actually started and succeeded in their rookie year. I just checked Ricky Ray (bad example maybe) played most of the season in his rookie year.

I don't think Rinne played as bad as is being said. The first goal was a brilliant shot, with a bit of luck thrown in. he had it blocked except for a puck sized opening, which it went through. Stastny goal was a great play by him, took a shot, got his own rebound and lifted it up and in. outstanding play by him. It's still a little hard for people to see how good the Jets are. So it must be a screw up by the other team, not a good play by the Jets. Even our own sports media don't quite get it. I Remember what Hitch said a while ago, after the Jets beat Dallas. "They come at you like a pack of wolves"

Go have a look at the Friesen comment on the MBB twitter feed on this.

Nice of Trump to propose cutting eight billion dollars from Children's Healthcare budget. But.... someone's got to pay for the trillion dollar tax cut. Why not poor kids? Wonder if we'll see new wars in the middle east, sometime soon.. Cause that's what Trump/Bolton/Adelson want. Adleson, Trump's biggest donor, (hundred million I think) said the US should drop a nuke in Iran, out in the desert, and if Iran doesn't then do what it's told, continue with a nuclear attack. seems like a good idea right? He's clearly thought it through, and knows a great deal about the subject. And after the N K dicatator won't give up the nuclear weapons, Trump/Bolton will be agitating for bombing there too. Whole thing is a set up by Bolton. a grade A war monger. "We really really tried" " I met the rocket man" Every single thing Trump has touched has turned to you know what. None of this will be different.

Nice timing.

Jets got back to their game.... first to the puck, and won the battles for the puck.
