Sham? Jason Kenney would be right at home in the wild rose. He is the worst kind of crony capitalist plus he is a bigot on top of it. He is under criminal investigation for his leadership campaign... and you want this guy as premier? What's he going to do to help the economy? Rape the middle class to pay for his rich benefactors benefit that's what. You are entitled to vote for him if you want to, but how anyone can see the kind of person he is and willingly vote for his party I will never figure out.

Hopefully that slimy ******* Kenney gets what he deserves. I don't like the NDP but I do like Rachel Notley... I was hoping the Alberta Party would give me an option but they don't seem to know their asses from a hole in the ground so who to vote for.... probably the incumbent who was one of the PCs who didn't join Kenneys band of angry right wing nutballs.

good news thread (non polItical please)
I really don't like calling them single use bags, most people use them for other things after the groceries are home. To me it seems like the wrong kind of activism.

Bomber News: 2019 Off Season
So how do you emerge in your 2nd year when you're behind Bighill and Santos-Knox? Coaches said before they got bighill he was an option in the middle and when JSK was hurt Wilson looked OK. I think you're selling him short based on circumstances.

Other than doubles probably not in the open era. Andreescu is having one hell of a year, really making some noise beating some good players. The Canadian men are doing OK too but nothing like this. Indian Wells is a big tournament too, outside of the grandslams it's probably the biggest 1000 level tournament along with a couple others so winning this is a big deal. Good for her and always love seeing the Canadian athletes do well in non traditionally canadian sports.

Much rather have Canadians (even tenuously connected ones) than global players. **** sakes, why don't we focus on getting the 3 biggest cities in the country actually supporting our league before we worry about mexico and europe?

pretty easy to step in when you got a line like that in front of you and a guy like Bighill beside you.

Marvel studios and kevin feige didnt want to fire him, I always knew he would be back cause that whole franchise is Gunns baby. No way they do a third without him and no way Disney gives up that kind of money. The Mouse loves money more than anything.

why is that hard to believe? Guy made a bunch of nobody characters into a profitable and popular franchise. You know what Disney loves more than pretending to care about their image? Money.

Canadian Politics
The Liberals won last time on the strength of the dislike for Harper, they can't rely on that anymore and Trudeau has been exposed for what he is and can't rely on that anymore. They gotta do something or we're going to have prime minister weenie in Scheer. Covering up **** never helps, it only makes it worse. Shoulda apologized, canned Trudeau and moved on, but nope, not our Liberal party. Still entitled to their entitlements.

When the wife and I were on our honey moon a couple years ago all the americans were fawning over Trudeau compared to Trump, we were trying very hard to be diplomatic in saying Trudeau wasn't some saviour that everyone thought he was, but I guess when compared to Trump anyone looks good.

You know what's even more embarrassing for him is this isn't the first time he's done that. Guy is a flat out *****.

Curling
The issue with the brier is that there are some really trash teams there and until you get to the playoffs you might wind up watching some really mismatched games. I was watching Nova Scotia play while I was the gym one day and that team had no business being on the ice. Couldn't make their shots, making questionable strategy calls.... but then you throw in a wild card for the sake of not shutting out a good team from a competitive province, but then if that's the point why stick with the provincial format? I dunno I really think they need to decide if they still want to be the provincial winners show up to the national championship or if they want to just have the best of the best teams in the country play for the national championship. They are trying to have it both ways and I don't like it. Pick a side and go with it. The added bonus of just letting the best teams play regardless of where they are from is you drop the charade of having a Manitobans playing for Saskatchewan or Alberta or where ever else and then they can just build teams without needing to worry about the residency requirements, which they are already playing fast and loose with anyway.

yes and no I guess. If they do go with 3 Canadians it ultimately does come down to those two since Demski and Wolitarsky are already pencilled in.

I think he is good enough to be a deep threat on this team, just a matter of him getting a chance IMO. He and Petey are gonna be solid along with Woogie. Love our canadian pass catchers.

The last Grey Cup in Calgary was my absolute favourite non-Bomber live football experience. Not because the game was great or anything but because the annoying as **** rider fans were being obnoxious all damned day and you could hear their collective hearts all shatter at once and the sound of silence after the too many men penalty was the most glorious thing ever. But yeah, those prices are a bit stupid to sit in lame ass McMahon Stadium.

Trump has done more than just violate campaign finance laws... but let's be real, how is that not enough to impeach? President is a criminal, can easily impeach him for that. Not like they need a real reason, they can do it with enough support in both houses. Trouble is the republican controlled senate won't impeach a republican president even if he shot some one on 5th avenue.

US Politics
Agrees about what? The simple fact is that nobody is getting impeached without the senate doing it, and the senate is blindly supporting Trump still. There are a mountain of things that Trump could already be impeached for, but it won't happen while the senate protects him so the Democrats in congress are going to continue to let investigations add to the evidence pile before they pull the trigger on impeachment.
