Very interesting article - not one I would have expected you to post. Thanks.

Tory majority in Alberta - Canada has gone blue. NS, Ont, MB, SK, AB

Post a tweet like that one?

Which makes it pretty clear that they’re not willing to grind it out.

Solid.

"But he won't do that..."

I don't usually bother, but you said they were "gassing one line" when the fact is all other teams are managing their forwards' TOI exactly the same way I'm out - just wanted to make that clear.

If you check some stats - most (if not all) teams play their best forwards about 20 minutes per game, give or take. The Jets are really not any different. Here's a link, if you're interested: http://www.espn.com/nhl/statistics/player/_/stat/timeonice/sort/avgTimeOnIce/qualified/false/position/forwards

Actually, total goals scored in the regular season are almost identical.

FWIW they averaged 3.1 goals per game in last year's playoff run - 53 goals in 17 games. Basically, scoring at last year's rate would have gotten them into OT - with the shaky goal tending and puck possession we saw last night - I do not like their chances in OT. You don't win playoff games when your goalie is letting in wrist shots from the face off circle.

He clearly has fewer effective advisors monitoring and mentoring him at this point - the real Trudeau is being exposed.

We have socialist capitalism. No need for corporations invest in a new business - let the government establish one and they'll eventually sell it to them.

Ok then. Somehow you don't know or can't accept that both extremes of the political spectrum are one and the same. I'll move on - it was pointless.

I know about that. When you go the extreme right or the extreme left, you get something like The German Labour Front or Russian Communism. I don't have a problem saying that Nazi Germany was an extreme form of socialism - because it was. But Hitler's policies are also found on the extreme right - fascism. The political spectrum is really a circle.

And Dougie was out - guys like Oost were getting owned in the middle. Sorta like when Jake Thomas plays every down - only worse.

KO's in Headingley - best soft ice cream in MB. But I'll go to any place that serves blue licorice - just cannot buy that stuff in bulk anywhere.

I'm pretty sure Mr. Brown was injured most of that year. Teams had their way with our interior DL as a result - the results were not to be remembered.

This is probably pointless, but I'll try anyway: To put it simply, if you go all the way to the far left, you get complete government control. When you go to all the way to the far right, you get complete corporate control, enabled by government. Surely you're aware of corporations that benefited from and aided the Nazi regime? https://allthatsinteresting.com/major-brands-nazi-collaborators This is not ignorance - it's the way the political spectrum works. No matter who you are, what you believe and which politics you lean towards - extremism and fundamentalism are dangerous beasts.

Mine is easy: 50. The NFL - totally done with that league 40. MLB - just completely stupid (all teams are equal, but some are more equal than others) 10. Any hockey that isn't playoff hockey (I have a faint interest in Jets' regular season) 0. NBA - have never cared about it at all

One and the same. http://www.rndpanthers.com/kenney/civicis10/unitone/4Unit1ChallengeGovernment.pdf

You can pity sake all you like - the far right and far left are the same thing.

If we view your two statements together: "if everyone just worked harder, we wouldn't need any of that." The developed world has been there, done that - it was called 'The Industrial Revolution.' Most of the population worked their asses off, and it got most of them absolutely nowhere. The rich simply got richer on the backs of the poor. Things are pretty messed up on the political right these days, and some us get the sense that they are working towards more of the above. Just my 0.02

Citing the most extreme examples - very well done. Hint: The system that ruled Nazi Germany provided few if any opportunities to get out of poverty. Well - unless you include to killing (or planning to kill) the people of eastern Europe so Germans could take over their farms. For reference: lebensraum When you go the extremes - the right and the left are essentially the same.

In rural areas you will often have pockets of small classes - 8 to 12 students. A 19.8 average means there are high numbers in the core areas - 30 to 45 students. Highschool teachers most often bear the brunt of that.

Even though they are averaging 19.8 students per teacher in Ontario. http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/educationfacts.html
