Low expectations, top notch night life.

A farmer out in the St. Malo / St. Pierre area does very well growing cucumbers year ‘round.

Here, greenhouses have a hard time finding workers. In fact, the local greenhouse in Petersfield relies mostly on immigrants and refugees. That mentality needs to change - or it won't matter how many programs we come up with.

Agreed. Anything that is not legitimate needs to be ruthlessly eliminated. Eg. recycling programs that don't really recycle; 'organic' food imported from Asia; Electric cars in areas where electricity is generated from coal; etc. etc. Things that look good on the surface but really accomplish nothing.

I’m not ignoring Science, I’m pointing the realities of these changes.

Nitrogen fertilizer is an oil product - I didn’t know Denmark stopped using it. If you want those kinds of changes, be prepared for the sacrifices that come with them - it won’t be just farmers making sacrifices.

The bottom line is living with less - which most of us suck at - badly. eg. Manitoba has more passenger vehicles than licensed drivers. We’re having fewer children but building larger houses. I don’t see any will to do the kind of work that would be required if farming were done with fewer hydrocarbons. Ask any vegetable or fruit grower who does their physical work. Teach children how to pull weeds, butcher chickens and gather potatoes - no one can be exempt from this kind of work. Recycling. The current solution is to ship it all to China, who turn it into products that keep our dollar stores full.

They had an election - there was only one candidate - he has their full support.

It could be both or neither, certainly not either or. Believe it or not, the issue is on the unions’ and governments’ radar and is currently under review. The original question is: does it exist? Answer: yes

Who is going to step up and make the sacrifices? Hydrocarbons enable the lifestyle we currently take for granted. The agriculture industries are huge carbon users, through fuels, fertilizers and chemicals. If changes are made in the energy sector, food prices have no where to go but up. Meanwhile, I guess we can sit in our affluent surroundings, write articles and create memes.

It's different because teaching is a profession with a high percentage of women overall.

Sheep & shills - the lot of them.

And don’t forget that the earth is flat.

There’s only one way to find out - maybe O’Shea will peak as Bud Lite.

Tactics comrade, tactics. It was all part of the greater plan. They were just pretending to negotiate with all those other teams.

Since we're doing kind reminders - Ryan's career average is 44.7

There are more males on the admin side - in spite of teaching being a profession that is 80% female - they get paid more. I explained this several weeks ago.

There, there. Someone give the man a pat on the head and answer his question.

Just something about a hike, scavenger hunt & a wiener roast out there - great trip every time.

The Old Pinawa Dam is also fantastic. I have taken three different groups there on field trips - have a fourth planned this spring.

Hmmmm - its only been a year since we didn’t need to start 3 Americans and/or throw young OL to the wolves.

Walleye are hit & miss this year. Lake Winnipeg overall is going to struggle - too many breeding fish caught by commercial fishermen.

He was probably too busy breathing to listen.

Do the Moose need to generate a profit?

I went with Mikawos - he started for the Bombers when they used a 3 man front most of the time. A nose tackle won't compile too many stats in that scheme.
