    2024 CFL Season

    Another nightmare off season for the CFL players. Re-neg or be released. Prime example of the state of human rights you don't have to go to a museum to see. Year after year it is the same thing. It's like being witness to a horrific relationship. Say something and you are done just as quickly...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    C.R.A. has a loophole for non residents maintaining a home in a foreign country to be taxed a flat rate of 15% on income paid as a bonus. Pro sports has taken to structure contracts to be bonus heavy in order to put more money in the players pocket. Trevor Harris got a $250,000 bonus and a...

    2024 CFL Season

    Throwing it out there assuming Jeremy O'Day is reading. Landon Rice is an established RT that would be a nice addition to his O line. Phillip Blake can play LT and have an all National O line which allows 3 import LBs. Push Bane out to boundary WR and incorporate Mario Alford more into the...

    Crime in Ontario so rampant premier's friends sleep with 'baseball bats'

    What they need to publicize is the cost of so called law enforcement. OPP cost Ontario tax payers $1.4 B annually. You would think that given an actual awareness there would be interest in cooperating with others to reduce the expense by simply obeying laws. Of course they need to be prepared...

    2024 CFL Season

    It's not a coincidence that the CFL has long been buried on the back networks of ESPN exactly where NFL people prefer it to be. Too many names from major NCAA college programs that it is impossible to not have an instant regional following for many former star players. The game sells itself once...

    2024 CFL Season

    Curious if Shawn Bane Jr got anywhere close to the two year deal Alexander Hollins got from BC reported at $220,000 / $230,000. Stats wise they very comparable. I think that will be it for Riders signing receivers and could see them use Mario Alford more often as a wideout as it would be hard...

    French Farmers Fed Up

    Blockades in place. Restrictions in France do not apply to Spain for one who then dump their product on France. Smart to blockade the traffic routes opposed to occupying the city center

    2024 CFL Season

    Wondering if the CFL would be as concerned about player safety if the proposal to take the ball after a td rather than a kickoff was implemented at the 25 yd line opposed to the 40. Personally hoping it will be not this year for the rule change.

    Refugee/Migrant Crisis

    200 jobs listed on the local classified website in a city of 7400 where I live. Most of the refugees stay for a year which must be the agreement and then move on.
