I liked the part where @SpeedFlex27 quoted himself so he could regale us with his illustrious curling memoir.

I'd love to hear these people properly pronounce Lagimodiere. There's a reason why most people simply call it Lag and the new street names will be no different.

Off topic politics discussion has been moved

It's not like the name change will make them want to use their seatbelts or anything.

For the record, only 4 provinces have Canadian History as a compulsory subject in Highschool: Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Nova Scotia

Liriam and his family came to this country as refuges with just the clothes on their backs. I don't blame him for trying to maximize his potential to earn life-changing money.

and the older they are/get, the worse it is....

Rage is their lifeblood. They can't stop bitching about how bad things are for them now, but also don't want things to change. Anger makes them happy.

it's not CAN'T.....it's DON'T WANT TO (...which I will fully admit there is less of in MB than AB, but it's still pretty strong...) The whole "I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO CHANGE EVER" thing is just exhausting...

That's their whole plan with the new curriculum. Alberta used to have a very well regarded education system. So naturally the UCP wants to gut that because educated voters are bad for their election chances.

A. I'd suggest someone who is open to learning First Nations' words is not the closed-minded one. B. This is often the problem with your proposed "solutions".

The ignorance of this is astounding.

Whose fault is it, then? Yup. Lots of ignorant, uneducated, and uniformed people in many parts of this country.

Took me less than 5 minutes to master the pronunciations. Give yourself an hour and you'll be fine. Bishop Grandin Boulevard to Abinojii Mikanah (A-bin-oh-gee Mee-kin-ah) Bishop Grandin Trail to Awasisak Meskanow (Aa-wa-sis-uk Me-ska-noh) Grandin Street to Taapweewin Way (Tap-way-win)

You're going to have to provide some proof that this approach actually works. Works - as in actually addressing addiction and homelessness. Warehousing addicts in jails and prisons doesn't work and is inhumane.

Exactly. This cancel culture thing is so ******* dumb. You get to say whatvever the **** you want in the USA, but the moment you are held accountable for expressing your views- it's cancel culture. No *****- it's consequences for saying the **** that you are saying.

It's compulsory in MB, I teach it every year. I also teach Canadian Law and get pretty solid enrollment each time. #dowhatyoucan It is what it is, it's not going to change. AB politicians need to lobby for more seats. Instead of chanting "triple, triple, triple" in question period.

losing Buff was a serious blow.

And Cockburn Street would like to say…….on second thought, never mind.

no

that is gross.... and absolutely explains a lot about our current society (especially politically)

That really explains a lot.

De La Seigneurie Boulevard would like it's turn at the microphone.

A. This you? "Once again.... do you represent the majority of the people. No you don't." B, Nice touch, but very atypical.

Some provinces have CH as a compulsory subject in grade 11 Others say you satisfy the requirements - as long as you take some type of grade 11 Social Studies course Manitoba: Grade 4: a unit on the History of Manitoba Grade 5: First Nations - Confederation Grade 6: Confederation up to the Current era (Including an extensive government unit, which is really annoying to teach to 11 and 12 year olds) Grade 9: Contemporary Canada Grade 11: a full Canadian History course

Sounds like Hansen will be nip n tuck to be ready for the start of the season....

Canadians need to do a better job learning about their history and governmental structures.

You're just trying to confuse the argument with facts.

Rutherford was drunk when he offered Tanev that contract. He's a solid third liner with a good motor but not at that AAV. He's also never scored 35 points in a season, let alone averaged that amount over his career: https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/t/tanevbr01.html And grittiest? Adam Lowry would like a word.

OMG that is the absolute worst. My brother lived off of that and the time it took to order food.

Says a lot about the old curriculum too.

money pulled from Uni's and put into trade schools........ they know where their bread is buttered.

any time you lose to a bottom feeder team, you played poorly. Jets deserved to lose that one, if for no other reason than their complete ineptitude on the PP....

all of this, but especially the bolded. And I think it's doubly important for those of us whose lives have been relatively unencumbered to speak the loudest in fighting the good fight.

The lack of self-awareness would be laughable if it weren't so embarrassing to read.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-foreign-interference-1.6770511 The irony of career politician like Skippy labeling anyone else a "real Ottawa insider" is priceless. What a scoundrel.

I’m wondering if the Bombers look to use the global draft this year as a way to bring in any level of competition at DT. There are a couple of reasonably successful NCAA DT attending the “global” portion of the combine.

No. It would be flat out insane to say they were robbed last night. They lost by their own collective ineptitude.

This explains so much.

FTFY What a pathetic loss last night. Great opportunity to get back on track but no... Garbage in the FO circle, pitiful powerplay, more poor defensive zone play. This team is infuriating.

Wait @bluto doesn't live in Toronto itself but the greater gta? Unmasked, he's a rube from the hinterlands just like us.

Changed it to be more accurate as per your suggestion

Un-*******-believable. Out goalied by Reimer. Rittich looked like **** all game.

When I watched HNIC back in the late 60's & early 70's, I was Tony Esposito pretending to make all those saves. Or leaning on a broom or hockey stick in our basement rec room like Ken Dryden.

I mean...if you can have Kevin Costner play Robin Hood...
