Yeah, but I'm not talking about him playing in the AHL or NHL, but at a tournament of his peers. He and others on the CDN team have not looked compettive at the highest level in their age group, or very skilled for that matter. Virtanen in particular looks utterly lost, he has become a liability when on the ice. My expectation is that Marner et al would at least look like contenders at this tournament. They have been pushed around, beat to pucks constantly and essentially handled easily by USA and Sweden, and nearly so by the Swiss. It looks like they will be going home tomorrow unless they can find some character today. They have sucked at pretty much everything except the area that was most sketchy going in, the goaltending.. On the media level, this is a pending disaster for TSN. They have generally poor content on the network, and the World Juniors is a Big Deal for them. With Canada sucking at this one, it hurts. If Canada gets eliminated tomorrow there will be many TV sets switching to Game of Thrones reruns.

Easy to say, not so easy if you are living in your car and not quite sure how that happened. This movie explains how and why it happened in the USA. It does not explain why it did not happen in Canada. I guess the sequel would be "Nothing Happened: The Non Short in Canuckistan". I know specifically why this very human tragedy did not happen in Canada then, and is unlikely to happen here in this manner, but I am pretty sure you don't care. I hope it doesn't happen to you in the next cycle of rape, and there will be a next cycle.

Thank you for expressing so simply and eloquently what I feel about my life, and I suspect many others do too. I sincerely hope things turn around for you in 2016.

Wow the World Juniors look very much like they will be heading home after the quarter final on Saturday. Marner, Srome, Virtanen have all looked like mutts.

More recently, we have Trudeau Sr, Mulroney, Chreteien, Martin and Trudeau Jr. OK, we had people like Turner, Campbell, Clark for a few minutes few days few months a couple of years. And then the great Satan Cometh. Doesn't it please you mightily that we have A Man From Quebec again Waldo? I remember how crabby when we had He Who Must Not Be Named in office. It s the natural order that we have most often- by far- men from a province has become an economic backwater. And God Bless Justin for ridding us of those vermin from elsewhere..

In reality, everybody that was involved was complicit in this greedfest. Everybody. IMO, the largest blame goes to the US government who refused- and refuses to this day- to regulate high ratio mortgages. The insanity has not changed at all, just taking a little breather. I will point out that Canada was not directly affected by this for one simple reason: every person who takes a high ratio mortgage in Canuckistan must qualify for that mortgage. And the rules are pretty strict. . Not so in America in 2008 or today

Once again I am convinced that the OP has not seen the movie he critiques. It defies logic that he could miss the point in all of them. His consistency in this is admirable. Yes, Goslings character foresaw all this. So did Bale. So dis the two provincials who hired Pitt. So did Carrell. They saw the opportunity for a big short trade. You may have noticed the relationship between that consistent theme and the title of the movie. I don;t know why I;d expect that though. None of the leads look good, they all are made to look like goobers with makeup, clothes and hair. The stripper is symbolic of the great ease that EveryMan could get mortgages, often several mortgages. My take: it is smart. funny and intriguing look at how the scam that triggered a global worked, to great effect. The director employs a cinematic trick - the fourth wall- to explain some complex financial instruments. It has been an annoying ploy in other movies, in this one it works very well and it essential to explaining the sequence of events. The final sequence is not what the OP states, what is actually revealed is quite frightening. Highly recommended movie, and certainly in my Ten Best of 2015.

Yes, shutting down a major pipeline wouldn't cost anybody anything. Criminal trespass and shutting down a major pipeline are A-OK in your book. Gotcha. Would you be so pleased if I sat on a bus and touched the buttocks of every person that passed?. I'd be sitting and very quiet. Or how about if I hacked your computer and erased every word. Sitting quietly while I did it. Nobody hurt, right?

He is a man from Quebec. That is all that matters in Canadian politics. We must maintain the natural order.

The Olden Days when there were employees..... The CLC is easily circumvented by hiring contractors, or in the case of Ontario employers just leave the province entirely.

The decision has been made: preferential ballots. Now let's move on Canada.

Agreed. MATT DAMON. Seen a couple more now since The Big Short(which is excellent) The Revenant. Amazing cinematography, which pe4fectly captures the flat light as it actually is in winter. Shot mostly in Alberta, and the scenery is outstanding. I liked the soundtrack, which is mostly ominous. But alas DiCaprio is badly miscast, and Tom Hardy has a rare dud role IMO. I wasn't the only one cheering for the bear. Brooklyn. It is a soft romance, something I do not often care for, but this is an exception. It's a simple story of a young woman making life decisons, torn between two worlds. Saiorse Rona is lovely and luminous in the lead role. It is gentle and a bit slow, but would make an excellent date movie. It is about as different from The Revenant as is possible. Recommended.

They are nothing of the sort. They are private corporations with a very specific and narrrow purpose. The only way to have a share/vote is to buy a condo. The attendance at regular board meetings and the language spoken is up to the board to decide. 'GUsests' have no status, unless they are there for a specific purpose on an approved agenda. Same as any meeting, really. It is prudent that if many persons in the complex speak any language exclusiveley, the minutes should be circulated in those language(s),. No, the minutes should be translated to English if the board decides it is prudent to do so. If the owners/shareholders decide that the boards decisions are wrong, they have regular opprtuniities to chage the board and institue a new agenda.. That's just politically correct silliness. If a board in Gatineau chose to run meetings and publish minutes in English(or French) would they be creating a linguistic ghetto?

Great. Is that related to something, anything?

The Big Short How do you make a move about the 2008 global financial/housing crisis interesting? With some humour, a narrative voice, and some explanatory segments featuring people you wouldn't connect with the topic, like Selena Gomez.. Oh and with an excellent script based on a book by a fine contemporary writer , Michael Lewis. He also wrote Moneyball, The Blind Side and Flash Boys, winners all. Recommended!

Is this Wynnes 'Duffy moment'? How much did Trudeau know about this.? Waldoooooooooo.........

Not required. Boards change management companies all the time, what is the issue? All that is necessary is one line in the minutes. That is an astonishing number of assumptions and errors for just 2 sentences. Note that every set of bylaw I've seen allows for written proxies from people that cant or won't attend the AGM where officers are elected. If 34 persons choose to assign their proxies to one person, so it goes. Next, nobody is 'appointed'. All the officers are duly elected by the process outlined in the bylaws, the same rules for all skin colours. Nobody was 'ejected', the other candidates failed to gain enough votes and were not elected. The only blatant discriminztion is in some fevered brains fearing the Yellow Peril.

What did you think of Marner today? He won't last long in the NHL is he plays that soft/lightweight against men. Jake Virtanen looked awful, many unforced giveaways and plays died with him.

The correct term for this activity is riot tourism. Many hydrocarbons are burned in the protests against burning hydrocarbons.

Nearly all of that is incorrect. As elected officers representing the condominium corporation, they have the duty to operate the business of the corporation. Boards change management companies and other service providers routinely, most often for reasons of cost or poor performance. They do not have to provide details of bids to the owners, just that they determined the price or performance was improved. Is there any indication that the officers have failed in this duty? All officers to a board are elected by the owners. Any owner can be nominated at the Annual General Meeting where officers are democratically elected. Is there some indication otherwise? Or is this just the usual racist drivel?

The decisions made must be communicated to shareholders in a way they can understand, within reason. The board is not compelled by anything to ensure that the minutes produced(the decisions made) in every native tongue of every owner. The board may ,make any reasonable decision it wishes within the bylaws. The only 'majority' required is a vote within the board itself, owners/shareholders do not vote on everyday work done. I doubt the courts would intervene if a board chose any language for regular meetings. The courts might intervene if a board was sued because they failed to follow their own legal bylaws, or failed to follow the Strata Act which is mute on language of meetings. They have zero duty to communicate anything to a 'guest'. Guests have n right to anything other than to sit and be quiet. Being a guest implies they are present to observe. If they submitted an agenda item, the board could consider hiring an interpreter to accommodate another language for that agenda than the one they choose for daily business, as a courtesy to a shareholder.. The bylaws set out a fair and standard way to change all this if the shareholders so choose.

The movie was not about the Church, the priests, or their angles, so you missed the point of it. It is a story about the story. If you don't understand me, watch the movie again.

Edmonton has the mighty Sherbrooke Liquor for beer lovers, they stock over 600 different beers in the cooler. It can be overwhelming to pick a few and only a few. I went in for a six pack yesterday and ended up spending $93.

The 'position' of all owners is the same, there is no 'minority' or majority when it comes to rights or responsibilities.. It is all spelled out in the bylaws. Some of those responisibilities are ceded to board members, who are elected solely by and from owners/shareholders. The board can choose any language it wishes at meetings, with majority consent of the board- not the members. However, they also have a duty to communicate their proceedings to members, and if aa significant number are unilingual English or Mandarin the minutes should be available in both.

Sigh. If they ban spanking how will Mistress Beatrice make a living? And what will I do every Friday at 8 PM?
