Well the Jays just put up 11 runs on the top team in the AL. Yeah they're average. So you don't see the promise in this team? If you don't, I doubt you've watched them. The past 20 years where they've been perpetually mediocre is irrelevant this season and going forward. Had they played in a division like the AL Central they'd probably have several playoff births though.

Which is why hearing students cry that they have a right to get their useless degree for free or practically free is rather comical. If I had my life to live again, I'd go into a trade where the expectation of gainful employment is great. Yet you still have students who think English Literature and Philosophy degrees will be worth more than the paper the it's written on after they graduate.

They're 14-11, that's 3 games above .500. Your Chisox are 12-11 in that shitty division. So

Many of which likely don't really require liberal arts degrees. Public sector cleaners and garbagemen make a very good living and those jobs don't require a lick of higher education. Or at least shouldn't.

11-5 win in the rubber match against the Rangers at home today. They've won every series they've played this except against teams named Rays and Orioles. Alas those are the teams they need to beat to make the playoffs. :angry:

Sure, walk into Tim Hortons and see if they are offering application forms that offer competitive wages and flexible hours. I always see it. http://www.timhortons.com/ca/en/join/team.html Recently McDonalds had a hiring blitz across Canada. Now these are jobs that would be good for non-breadwinners or the type of student that's bitching about their tuition in Quebec. Not a guy with a huge mortgage and an appetite for $200 dinners, but those jobs are rare for a reason.

Private news organizations do those things too. BTW Anyone with Over the Air Network TV that lives remotely close to the US gets Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy already. So buying those shows serve very few people.

Coffee snobs. Point is, in Canada anyway, Service sector jobs are a plenty. Not ideal work but no one can really claim there is no work out there.

But he did recognize that their budget is bloated and cut a bit and now we're seeing CBC makes some massive changes. When you consider the things they're cutting you can ask the question as to what part of the mandate did those shows fulfill anyway?

I suspect the same people that think Omar Khadr, a jihadist and murderer, should be allowed back into Canada don't think Conrad Black in. He gave up his citizenship because Jean Chretien is a petty like D-bag of a man.

He's a lucky one? you can walk into any Tim Hortons and get a job easy.

The paradox of saying that post secondary education is a net benefit to society and the individual yet saying that making the student pay for the education will burden them with debt hasn't really been addressed by anyone. If the education is a net benefit to the student, then students should feel no problem paying the price. Of course we all know many students are getting an education that gives them no tangible advantage in the working world.

No shit. Now is it all due to that tax or could Toronto do without it considering the size of the surplus. It's a rather punitive tax to people trying to purchase increasingly expensive houses in Toronto.

Those surpluses assume a booming real estate market. You can't budget assuming you'll be bailed out by real estate. That's sort of how the meltdown in 2008 got started.

Someone should be able to enjoy the show equally without reading the books. The show has made many, my wife included, start reading the books so now they know what's supposed to happen. She still loves the show but doesn't always like the adaptation. For example the scenes with Arya condense multiple Arya chapters into like 2 minutes of content. The skip over a lot of stuff but end up in the same place. I'd say that's a strength of the show. Apparently Stannis and that witch never get busy in the book, but to make the show more visual they include a scene with them having sex. I say including that scene makes the connection between the characters stronger. I've also been told they never actually say Renly is gay in the book. Not sure what including that feature ads to the story, but whatever.

You know it's different. The Fed didn't announce a 10% reduction in Sun News' grants in the budget. The money, above and beyond the money that's available to every broadcaster, the CBC receives goes to fulfilling a mandate. CBC News isn't something that contributes to fulfilling that mandate. It shouldn't get any of the public money that goes towards CBC's goal to ensure Canada's culture, whatever that means. So the fact that the CBC cancelled a Newsworld show, following a budget cut from the Fed, means that they are using Federal money for a cable channel that competes with other 24-hour news channels. I don't think that's right.

Well BD, you must have been happy that everyone's favourite busty northerner was left out of last night's episode. There was another scene in season one where they had her talking to Pycelle where he said "The thing about Kings". She was irrelevant to that scene but yeah we got to see boobies. So effin' what?

The Arya story proves again to be the most compelling thread of this show. Now she's got an ally that will kill people for her and she has access to Tywin Lannister. Very interesting. Qarth is a very nice place, why is Hot Blonde Khalesi so eager to leave? Wait till her dragons look more dangerous than an iguana before she goes back to Westeros. Anyone else think Theon has turned into a pretty pathetic character? Unlike shows like Spartacus. This show can be very compelling without violence and sex. The only violence in the episode happened in the first scene but yet I found myself entertained the entire hour.

As opposed to living in higher employment parts of Ontario? I highly doubt that.

Who doesn't want larger TVs?

Liz Witmer won that riding by 4,000+ votes and McGuinty is very popular in Southwestern Ontario right now because of OLG policy.

Well the students are the ones losing out. Are you telling me that every potential in student in Quebec will refuse to pay the hike next year? Or is this a picket line situation. Well if they allow protestors in their midst to vandalize their message will be lost in the outrage of citizens getting their stuff ruined.

Some here clearly do.

The only team left in the Eastern Conference I don't loath is the Washington Capitals.
