$10 billion in first quarter profits for the Canadian banks. Imagine if the money were being reinvested into the economy.

At home in Florida I am guessing.

Good news for the Ukraine on the Gripen fighters. It will take a exceptional drone to shoot it down. The Saab is based on a Bombardier air frame. Wasn't good enough for Canada and probably part of not paying your fair share is doing as you are told. Welcome to Canada.

Those are the ones with the minty flavour. Can also say there is little to no correlation between taxes paid and services rendered. If I stick a $3 tag on the bag they do collect my garbage. Recycling is free.

Hearing A.I. has been accused of racism and another garbage in / garbage out novelty with strong opposition in some quarters that won't matter in the long run. Curious if anyone has ever been influenced to the point of action by a pop up ad? Read the book yourself as far as learning goes. How...

Could do without schools for the $25 billion it costs Ontario every year. Let community clubs administer sports rather than high schools. All that bureaucracy is about the jobs more than what the jobs are supposed to be about. Doesn't matter that the kids need 5 more years of university My...

You forgot politicians. Actually if it wasn't for having to pay taxes to support public sector lifestyles it wouldn't be that bad. Grey Owl did okay without most of that stuff. White Otter Castle guy was another.

Wondering if Trump wasn't talking about Canada being one not paying their fair share? Appears to be under 1.5 % of GDP Other than the fact we are broke and have nothing of any military significance to contribute it seems reasonable to ask. One thing for sure is war costs money.

Watching a documentary on Psilocybin where they recommend 5 measured grams on an empty stomach. Terrance McKenna's True Hallucinations

Not following you on the exit plan. Funerals, care homes, and other last chance cash grabs? Biggest disappointment for me has been the drop in the value of my RRSP over the last 3 years to the point where I don't want to cash out at such low levels. Dirty, rotten, scoundrel banks at the root...

Won't be surprised if Jamal Morrow ends up signing in Montreal to go along with Walter Fletcher. Antwi may have the most upside although not sure how they plan to use him being a National.

Do not like the idea of letting the Elks go private and think it is a knee jerk reaction to a couple of bad years. I do like the idea of listing them as a public corporation and having the market determine the value. Biggest problem is always the city owned facilities that get squeezed and the...

Dickenson Bros together again. Good deal for Calgary IMO and Mom doesn't have to choose between the two any longer. Kudos to John Hufnagel for all that he has done for the league as his era in Calgary Stampeder history winds down. I would have hired his son as minimum an assistant GM in Sask...

And then just when things are going so well some guys find a way to self destruct. Not saying it is easy to be Chad Kelly. John Murphy has been there / done that before as well and should know better. Head down, mouth shut, coast through life but no.

Personally hoping Hamilton made up the difference with Tim White with a bag of money left in the trunk of the rental car he was given to use. Call it a home town discount. If one plays they should all get to play imo.

Time to bump the thread. Early season power rankings are out with Winnipeg ranked 2nd on both 3DN and CFL.ca. Gag me with a spoon it ain't gonna happen. Calgary won't be finishing last either. As the unofficial CFL guy on Canadian Content let me set the record straight. 1) Montreal - they still...

Unrelated but they did make an arrest in the Long Island Serial Killer case.

Quick search informs that the top speed of the Goodyear blimp is 73 MPH with an average speed well below that. For short hauls it might do the job. Flying Whales mentions a 60 tonne capacity but don't seem to be operating yet. Appear to be getting support form the Province of Quebec

Can you say Joey Logano in a Ford?

Seems like Ice road season is getting shorter every year with real concerns this year in NW Ontario. Cement is one of their main priorities and mostly done with super sacks that are a pain to deal with. Most communities lack the infrastructure to deal with it in any other way. Cool weather this...
