    CFL 2021

    Hammer the players down first. Then hit the fans with the same sob story and hike prices as high as they can. Then release the single game gambling revenue news that will fill their coffers. Maybe it works.

    Huge cargo ship gets wedged in Suez Canal

    Coconut water when nothing else works for a blockage. Might want to talk to the person who authorized the vessel to enter that section of the canal under those conditions. Lots of paperwork ahead for this one.

    Congratulations President Elect Joe Biden!!

    I can see where the Chinese did not want more Trump but Biden in office pretty well makes a mockery of global diplomatic relations. Sad days. Canada is not immune to the chaos.

    Budget day will be interesting. To think provincial debt is not included in what was last announced as a $1.2 trillion public debt. Surely more now. Canadians pay $75 million every day in interest. How sweet is that for the banks? Carbon tax revenue will never exceed the expense of the...

    New definition of hate to be included in Liberal bill that might also revive contentious hate speech law

    Wonder if it will cover the Julie Payette kind of hate for the people

    Trudeau Has Buried Us In Debt

    Canada is 154 yrs old. When the first settlers came they had nothing and worked hard. Ten generations later people have everything and don't have to work hard. Now successive generations can sustain on wealth left by those previous and all is good. Justin Trudeau a prime example. Only thing...

    Trudeau Has Buried Us In Debt

    Given the severe hard times Canada is facing; what about the idea of cutting all politicians salaries by 20%. Surely in this desperate hour our leaders will not desert us and agree to do their part. Civil servants to follow. It has to happen sooner or later.

    Trudeau Has Buried Us In Debt

    Essential services. Seems like a nice lady but guessing she has already been promoted to her level of incompetence. And that is how infrastructure money flows.

    CFL 2021

    Now they can start the season on time if the players take a 20% pay cut. Have to give them credit for trying. Obviously they have to transition away from ticket sales being the main source of revenue. Considering everyone will watch on tv maybe they should go back to tsn and let them know it is...

    Canada-China Crisis

    Compelling video. Not sure why Canada bothers with defence spending.

    CFL 2021

    Early conspiracy theory is that the CFL will limp through whatever they decide to do for 2021. When the CFLPA agreement expires next year the league tries to go with the XFL for 2022 without the players association. Who would not want to play in the NFL when 48% of a $13 Billion deal goes to...

    Last week it was Rogers buying Shaw for $26 B. This week CPR buys KSU for $25 B. Perhaps the Age of specialization is upon us.

    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...
