    Canadian Olympic star Penny Oleksiak suspended two years for anti-doping violation

    On a downward trend since she peaked @ 16 and now 25. News seems a bit irrelevant to be honest. Time is now to get her foot in the door with CBC and start a family. There will be others.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Despicable terms for Ukraine. Might as well pull out the nuclear bombs and see what's left after that rather than to bend over now. It might only take one.

    Top earners where I live are all public employees. Cute that they refer to themselves as servants.

    In my estimation there are many that would do the job for all the reasons you list at 1/3 of the remuneration package that is the current standard. Unfortunately those people are not welcomed by the vast majority of the public service who enjoy things the way they are. No one has a better deal...

    A bit surprised to see the Riders 3.5 point favorites heading into the Grey Cup and wonder if it's not sentiment driving the odds. Either way I jumped on Montreal paying 2.3 to win and will hope that pays off.

    Something potentially going on with the F 35 order and hearing Spain has cancelled their deal with Switzerland considering similar action. Further to, there a rumors of a deal in the works with Sweden which is interesting on it's own. We should be doing more with those people. Bombardier up...
