  1. The second and third generations have been philanthropists but John D. Rockefeller was the original "robber baron" and much hated in his time for his business practices.
  2. The way he left the Ti-Cats and the timing was a bit strange. My guess is he had personal problems, family problems or a falling out with Austin. All 3 are nothing more than off-the-cuff speculation.
  3. CFL Headlines @CFL_Headlines Formers Ticats OC Tommy Condell to join Argos as receivers coach https://goo.gl/fb/VYfVMP Expected Condell to return to the CFL at a higher level than this, especially with the work he did for the Argos prior to the hiring of Popp and Trestman.
  4. There you have it, right from the horse's mouth.
  5. The CWB is a pretty heavy topic but historically it was a very good organization that put control of the commodity in the hands of the producers and stabilized the wheat market through some very rough periods. Harper did his biding and destroyed it using questionable tactics on behest of the multi-national ag, companies that he represented. What's done is done, and if the wheat growers ever tried to re-establish even a shadow of the CWB it would be blocked at every turn through the courts and the task would be insurmountable. The table has been set for corporate farming so that money can flow more efficiently up the pyramid with as few farmers as possible getting their grubby hands on it.
  6. The Riders just found another rock to look under. A nice mossy one!
  7. With the following laundry list of security agencies, no doubt every president since Nixon has been "monitored" 24/7/365. Trump had better get used to it. Central Intelligence Agency. Defense Intelligence Agency. Federal Bureau of Investigation. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. National Reconnaissance Office. National Security Agency. Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
  8. "King Coal" is alive and well in many states like West Virginia and Kentucky. Below is a good documentary on the destructive nature of strip mining coal and the effects it has on locals. To summarize "reclamation" is bullshit.
  9. Good point, I'm sure Trump will try to sabotage the subsidies to electric vehicles and redirect them back into the pockets of oil and auto execs. where they rightfully belong.
  10. I think the only two provinces relying heavily on coal for electricity production are AB. and Sask. and AB. is now moving away from it. The U.S. may be completely different.
  11. I honestly have no idea but it does take some time to recharge the battery so this is not something you do without pre-planning. Typically most recharging will occur at home overnight and the cost will be buried in your Hydro bill.
  12. Charging stations are pretty invisible but they're now common in BC and AB. The infrastructure is cheap, they're sometimes nothing more than an electrical box and a couple of outlets on the wall of a service station, located near the air pump. I saw a Tesla charging station for the first time last week in Revelstoke and it was just a couple of stalls in the parking lot of a major hotel.
  13. No denying it KBF, you'd look pretty spiffy in a Tesla Roadster. Charging stations are here, I hope to make the move in the next 4-5 years as prices come down for electric vehicles. Technologically this should have happened 50 years ago.
  14. Trump set to roll back U.S. fuel-economy requirements on cars, more regression, more destruction. http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/trump-fuel-economy-1.4025816 They could have altered the "car culture" permanently after the 70's energy crisis when the price of gas first spiked, instead we've made little progress in almost 50 years thanks to the oil companies and the major car manufacturers pushing their agenda. Perhaps we'll cruise on for another 50 years in our F-350's before North Americans begin to take responsibility for ouir actions.
  15. I could see the Esks. keeping Franklin and trading Reilly at the end of the season for a boatload of assets. The Argos or the Riders might be desperate enough at that point to provide the Esks. with a number of top draft picks and established players.
  16. Scott Mitchell ✔ @ScottMitchellPM Gold response to Bo saying he’s looking forward to battling VY. Kevin Glenn ✔ @qterback5 @BoLeviMitchell @CFL @leighsteinberg you giving him the job already lol
  17. Sadly to say, the timing makes this likely. They just have to pick out their next "random target".
  18. Oh, right. Can't get rid of Richards till they get more Natl. depth at receiver anyways, might as well get used to it.
  19. Guess where Marcel was in 2007?
  20. Sorry, I forgot about Ryan Lankford so cutting Richards is a possibility if in fact he's the worst of the lot. As it stands they have JFG, Richards, Coates, Lankford and whoever they pick up in the draft to cover one, maybe two positions.
  21. Richards already knows the playbook and what he needs to do. All he has to do is beat out JFG and he starts.
  22. I can't see Richards being cut no matter what he shows in TC, there just isn't enough depth right now. Even if they pick up a receiver in the draft, he won't be starting.
  23. It takes a smart football player to play S or NB well, and some players just lack that particular facility.
  24. If Loffler is out for multiple games I can see Leggett going back to S and discovering who can cover at NB, maybe Waggoner, Fogg or Frederick. Julian Posey played there a bit last season but he seems to have vanished. I think it comes down to finding out where Waggoner fits in and which position he can cover best. Morgan may be an option at S but I think Jones is limited to wide-side corner.
