    CFL 2021

    According to John Hodge "CFL players got 52 per cent of league revenue in 1976. Today, they receive approximately 25 per cent. For comparison, NFL players will receive 48 per cent of league revenue in 2021, while NHL and NBA players get 50 per cent. Taking inflation into account, the CFL’s...

    'Frankly stunning' GDP growth

    Maybe open the doors to mass immigration aided with convenient financing to pay for the overpriced homes insured by CMHC and drive the market. Only in Canada.

    CFL 2021

    New NFL tv deal is reported to be worth more than $100 billion over the next ten years. Each single game television revenue to equal the total amount of annual revenue for the CFL. CFL locked in with TSN at $C50 million for the next five years is an insider deal imo and will not be good for...

    205,000 on the 2020 Province of Ontario sunshine list for employees earning six figures. Takes a lot of lower level private enterprise jobs to average down to Canadian median income of $55,000 at that rate. Why on earth ever take a risk to earn less and miss out on the generous retirement...

    It is hard to beat a Seavey when it comes to dog sledding. Dallas Seavey had to work for it but made it look easy in the end and gave the credit to his dogs. He now sits among Iditarod elite with 5 wins and at only 34 will continue to be heard from for many years to come. His father won the 2018...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Just a misunderstanding and only really interested in helping poor children abroad. Victims of a blood thirsty political process. Sounds like we will have to pay them out.

    Rogers buying Shaw in a $26 billion deal should boost competition for internet service. It wasn't like it was going to go any other way though.

    3 man race to the mandatory 8 hr rest in Skwetna. Aaron Burmeister, Dallas Seavey, Brent Sass all with a chance. It's like 3 to go at Talladega at 7.5 mph. Congratulations extended to all that participated.

    Ottawa promises $40M in carbon tax cash to upgrade 172 Ontario schools

    One more benefit of online learning is to not have to maintain public infrastructure. Ontario spends $25 billion annually on public education. Basically a guaranteed income sector with no return on investment.

    Public Education in 2020

    Tom Lamb who was given the honorary degree in Doctor of Laws from the University of Manitoba in 1969 had a Grade 3 formal education. Personally feel we are very wrong about the benefits of the public school system other than for those earning from that sector. Little more than a bottomless pit...

    Public Education in 2020

    Snow removal is not as easy as it sounds and something most politicians and many others have never done and are not capable of. Big snow makes it worse. Sorry to hear about kids getting hurt but where are all the politicians, principles and vice principles responsible for recognizing hazards...

    'Frankly stunning' GDP growth

    Coincides with the reopening of the Ontario retail sector. Numbers are all crap for somebody else. There is nothing going on that is not being funded and mismanaged by some level of government. Who knows? Maybe Moodys upgrades Canada to a C.

    What about bending over and adopting a universal North American currency similar to the Euro? Do it now while the dollar is up as well. Digital currencies work on a global basis.

    CFL 2021

    Interesting news with the CFL and XFL chatting. Assuming a combined league would warrant a television deal at least 10% of the NFL. More than double the current CFL deal. Not sure this will be good for players. Whole thing with the CFL is the sweetheart deal and working arrangement with TSN...

    Canadian aviation

    Sad to think it went the way it did. Bombardier was undercut at $35 million per plane and now they are selling for $50 +. The government did nothing. Boeing in particular was dumb to pass on partnering given their subsequent issues with the plane they choose to compete with against the C...
