Does one have to Why not punch both?

what are now called Conservatives, are people who hate government, regulation, and any restriction on them. and they hate it when governemnt intervenesmto help the little folk. industrial health and safety laws. car recalls. healthcare. postal service. food inspection, water testing. yet perversely they also depend on government to save them, whenthe greed goes too far, and the system fails. and they get help. but help for anyone else, is said to be bad for the "moral fibre" socialism for the rich, unfettered capitalism for the rest. and they even hate it when the rest try to help themselves, by forming unions. whichnhave basically been battered to a pulp in North America. also, if Alberta doesnt face up to reality, they are going to suffer badly. in the near future. energy transition is not stopping for them.

The Wheat Board was effective because it was a monopoly. The cons used legislation to break the monopoly, thus ending the WB. The plebiscite was a farce. Conservatives didn't abolish the WB, they broke it. In turn it became unsustainable and thus was sold off. The Cons were 100% the reason for the WB breaking up. They brought in Ian WHite for a reason.

Paywall.

Not if you saw his tweets. I told him to quit shitting on the CFL which he didn't like.

57 total cases on more than 2000 tests is reason for hope....but things are fluctuating a lot. And the variants are within the province, so there's not much you can do now. They're going to keep spreading until enough people are vaccinated.

Sounds very risky to me

Stastny with a huge PP goal. Flames make it close but a nice punch to Tkachuk’s head by DeMelo on a scramble and we get 2 clean points.

I don't get to dig this one out often

I would extend the area to Alberta. You can punch them and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. I would die a happy man if that happened

I'm beating a dead horse here but the CFL has made its own bed. How long have the fans been screaming for more information? We want to know who's on the neg list but for years they wouldn't tell us who's on it. Why? Finally, they open up 10 names. A joke. We want to more about salaries and cap management but they never tell us. Why? It's some sort of secret despite every other pro league manages to get that info out. Gambling is a big deal and all major sports leagues get that but not the CFL. There's money out there to be made. There is a large demographic of fans being ignored because the CFL won't give us the information that every other league provides.

MLS pulls in less than his estimate, with 27 teams while being the top soccer league in north america and the most popular kids sport in north america. I dont see any chance of the CFL game beating mls in terms of us TV draw.

I have trouble buying that when the CFL has little US tv draw and the XFLs previous deal was worth 0 dollars. At this point I need to see some proof of concept from the XFL before believing much of any thing.

I'm sure the Gov'ts of Alberta and Saskatchewan, now that they've lost this challenge, are about to unveil their plan to tackle climate change imminently. Any day now...

You can't really believe that's the only reason the CWB was unsustainable. Do I like how it was done? No. Was it inevitable? Yes.

Fascism has been a factor in American politics for a very long time and it is tied into their racism. It was no accident that Nazis held huge rallies in the US in the 30's, and even had very active "Hitler Youth" organizations. Trump's father was a supporter of the Nazi party, so was Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford and so forth. The support resulted in an attempted coup against Roosevelt but was only derailed when the general in charge of the US Marine Corps had an attack of conscience and reported it. Many of America's wealthiest families were involved. I am not sure of the accuracy of this but at one time I read that over a third of all white Americans had German ancestry.

Worth every penny... FreeP is good writing/reporting.

On the one hand, I am encouraged that the TP is decent given the fact that we've been more opened up for the past 9 weeks. On the other the emergence of new variants and possible vaccine shipment issues have me concerned.

right but this makes the assumption that they can sell advertising for this product (XFL/CFL) in the States and it also assumes a certain price per ad. Those are MASSIVE guesses on his part....

Ya, thats a scary threat. Straight up wrench in the gears of fighting this pandemic.

One of the issues with having the farmers decide was that there is a huge amount of older farmers who aren't actively engaged in farming but are still technically farmers and permit holders. Most of them were pro wheat board. And dont forget , the Conservatives didn't abolish the Wheat Board. They just allowed farmers the option of marketing wheat and barley on their own like the rest of their crops. This issue is one that alot of people had opinions on because of the propaganda put out by BOTH sides. Alot of disinformation. Alot of misunderstanding by people who really had no understanding of the issues or had any hand in the game.. As far as farmers it was a real split down the middle. I had my own farm at the time and worked for my neighbor. He was %100 anti Wheat Board.. Hated it. He figured he lost 30,000 one year because of the wheat board. I also had a neighbor on the other side that was % 100 Pro board. If you want to pick something Harper screwed up on the Wheat Board probably isn't the one. Despite what non farmers in the city were led to believe. As I said previously I had cattle and sold hay so I had no dog in the race. I suspect if actual farmers had got to vote and not just permit holders it probably would have went open market. It certainly would today if it happened

Seems to me that Ehlers has been pretty quiet this week. I feeling that changes tonight.

I can’t remember where I heard it but I am pretty sure I heard that the Flames have been shorthanded more than any other team in the league. Dirty or poor discipline? I’ll let you decide.

Yes, Harper dealt with the Wheat Board the same way he dealt with most everything else... But the writing was on the well, no matter who pulled the plug. How is an entity going to continue helping the small farmer when said entity is not adapting to major shifts in the market? More people eating gluten free = less wheat Demand for canola = less wheat Growing corn and soy with increasing success on the prairies = less wheat A demand for high quality oats = less wheat The CWB was beyond pros and cons - it was rapidly becoming irrelevant.

Whoa.... Pionk just hammered Gaudreau. Beauty clean hit.

Is it just me, or does it feel like ever since Forbert had those 11 blocked shots in that one game that the whole team has now bought in to sacrificing themselves to get in front of the puck a whole lot more than before?

Best stat I saw was Connor McDavid has 60 points, Buffalo has 64 goals. Who will win that scoring race?

My thought as well... I don't know how this guy arrives at this number.

Some good info in this Twitter thread from Farhan for those wondering what paycuts non-players have taken.

There were pros and cons to the the Wheat Board- the main thing was that teh cons came in and dictated what was going to happen to it. I feel it should have been left up to the farmers to do away or keep it. I think what's left of the WB is now owned by a Saudi corp...

The variant B117 is really starting to ramp up in terms of cases, looking West is seems like is was a good idea for the MB Gov to not loosen restrictions, more vaccines coming into Canada next week and next month so we need to get those into the arms as soon as possible cause this variant is close to getting out of control

Sucks. His cap room might be useful to sign some one when the argos have to cut half of this off seasons FAs.

it's ******* scary, no matter how you slice it, and you absolutely do not want any part of it. Stay home unless you absolutely HAVE to be out and avoid contact with as many people as possible. In AB, where we're a giant tire fire, I am really wishing for another "lock down" (meh) until June, when a lot more people are vaccinated. Things could get really really bad over the next two months if they don't do something...

We are gonna have more than a few ups and downs before this is over, but the rise of the variants (sounds like a Sci-Fi movie title) has me very worried.

there are few games I enjoy more than games where the Jets absolutely throttle the fLames..... kick the ever loving piss outta these assholes.

Finally. Feels like this is going to be a hard fought game but we need to keep pace at the top.

I'll say this.... I used to be wildly opposed to profit sharing (**** the Argos and Als... Why should our support of the Bombers help them when they have zero fans??) but if it's profit sharing vs becoming the ECHL of football...? Give me profit sharing... Whatever it takes.
