  1. Ahh...be a good boy and keep pumping the oil Never mind the bill from decades ago when Alta was more of a backwater burb and the ROC ( <----read Ontario) kept things afloat. Have not....we finally get that tag after never being there before. Ontario is still the cow that supplies the most meat, that will never change
  2. Its like a fire in Lackawanna. They occur there daily, so not really news. Same w Aus. Not to mention a pretty slow news day. Look at the 8 kids just killed in Aus, that story doesnt seem to have the same legs does it.
  3. Because it has been years since they've been allowed. REstrictions were lifted in '10 or '11 and all they need is the Passport and Visa to where they are going. Plentyu of places dont require a Visa for Cubans. They have and can own houses since the same date, same with new cars.
  4. Sadly this is true. What would be nice is the penalty should there be one (via lawsuit) is that the funds come out of his pocket and his retirement fund. Now THAT would get these idiots attention. Blatant and wilful misconduct should preclude the muni from paying the awards. As we can see from the G20 debacle going on right now, it is readily apparent that the Cops are , as a force, complete morons and happy to swing the baton at the innocent.
  5. They have been able to come and go with fairly easy conditions for years.
  6. Ben won the year prior.
  7. Two Gold medals at one Olympic Games in two different categories, a first for Canada , the preceeding 4 years she was World Champ and won very other damn contest there was. Deserved it . The LM is no a popularity event.
  8. Think? Nope, I know they do. Those broadcasts and liove shots are from employed folks stationed in Calgary Edmonton Calgary and Vancouver, for both TSN and SN. Yes and No. The actual vote takes place in TO but some of those votes come from people who dont live here. As The Fan 590 guys said (Damien Cox) the voters reflect and recognize the entire country. And it would appear by whom they pick as winner as true I have no idea how that can be your conclusion judging by the list of winners. AFAIK its kept that way to mitigate any pressure to vote one way or the other.
  9. There is another angle out there. Sony, under pressure from all the other studios and theatre owners releasing movies for christmas quietly implored Sony to drop this film......for the time being. The Worry was they didnt want all the theatres to be empty since that is a very real possibility . Any 6 plex +/- would have many new features and the risk to all the others including Sony was strong. It makes sense, and woiuld not surprise me if Sony gets kick back from the other studios.
  10. The insurqance company will take care of that, thats why they buy it. SOP. Not really, not as written. Insurers cant deny defence claims just because someone from the US is suing. What they may not get on risk for is home based businesses with operations that extend into the states . A legal home based business is not a concern to any insurer unless the business is high risk....in which most jurisdictions dont allow any high risk biz to operate in a home neighbourhood which solves that dilemma for them.
  11. I cant see anyway they would be held liable. At best, vicariously but even thats a stretch.
  12. Funny tweet from M Moore. Since hackers now run hollywood, can we have less romcoms and no more Michael Bay movies and no Transformers.
  13. Pretty sure shady didnt say flights, but he did say trips. In any case, he is right, they will become more expensive. It may be good for Cubans, it may not. Miami folks are none too pleased, and they are all Cubans.
  14. Any mention of repealing the Helm-Burton Act? The one the US would try and nab Canucks and Americans with who did some business w CUBA? (all the while ignoring that Coke Pepsi etc etc HQ is in Atlanta.....and one can get Coke et al in Cuba, ah yes...subsdiary of...Nope, deep pockets, here ya go Senator)
  15. I do. He and I posted on Triathlon forum and he was quite vocal about his experience in the IDF . He went over to serve aftrer being raised (mostly) the US. He wonders why more violence occurs considering the way his fellow officers treated the Palestinians at the checkpoints. He was always bothered by the treatment of mothers who would be going shopping or taking kids back and fro school, women they saw more than once a day. How his IDF brothers used to make the women and children stand in the rain while they played cards in the hut, or laughed at them freezing .....or refuse them entry/exit if they knew the person really needed to be somewhere fast . It was laughs all around. His take on it? The Israelis were pretty pathetic in what they did, none of which any of them could justify even though he knew the other side had blood on their hands. Kill the perps, but let the innocent complete their day in peace. His words when he left, None of them should hold their head up. He will never go back.
  16. I imagine with small number employers but the bigger ones maybe not so much. The bigger the company they more likely to have 2 levels or more of coverage. Some certainly do. Ottawa CSB does and I recall maybe 5 or 6 others do.
  17. While true, last year around this time the Leafs were 11-2-1 opr somesuch.Tied for first w Les Habs Maybe the quiet ones are waiting for the collapse. TO some degree I expect a bit of a slide back but certainly not anywhere near last years fiasco. I am confident they will make the playoffs.
  18. But wait, you dont know who votes so...? The voters could be from anywhere even thoughg it is voted on in TO. Some are suggesting it isnt representative of the country, judging by the winners it sure looks so.
  19. Yup. A native New Westminster. Lets see, before that was Christine Sinclair a Burnaby girl. And now a Calgary girl. You are right, it doesnt. Exactly
  20. In other words, No you dont but can make the case without knowing? I do wonder how that works.
  21. Do you or the Squid know the names of the people on the committee?
  22. I do The consensus is that Eakins isnt the problem, in fact McT said as much a week or so ago. But comes a time the coach has to go since they cannot fire 20 players, and Katz is too stupid to get rid of Lowe Mac and his scouting staff (unless scouts arent being listened too) Eakins should have turned it down, there were others awaiting in the wings to hire him. But one cant blame Eakins for giving it a shot. Two yrs ago the future was especially bright and who wouldnt want to be at the helm for the rise of the Oilers? Hell I sure would. Theres one consolation, the Leafs never looked this bad for this long.
  23. Ok. But what argument is there if the insurance company has to pay and they appear fine with it? (Suspect they could see it coming from a long way off) Pandering to them by being instructed to follow the law. How does that make any sense whatsoever?
  24. Do you have a link or will you rely on the 'likely' part to bail you out?
