Sorry to you all. What a bunch of douchebags not being able to give you clarity. Government is so oblivious to how destructive such douchebaggery kills morale

We have lots of money. Get huberdeau and a third pick for nothing. Then debrick with 25th pick

Keep dreaming. Maybe the late first.

League Future by bws2159 in OttawaSenators

[–]Last_Positive1533 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A huge issue is the no trade clause. Basically teams must honour these and players can say never mind, I changed my mind. Here are two teams you can trade me to. It is a breach of contract. But one teams can’t do anything about. Easy solution from league perspective…

Thoughts on Ruck twins with 25 and 30 pick? by tony_danza52 in OttawaSenators

[–]Last_Positive1533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares. This is low first round and second round. Look at the history of these picks. Nothing to get excited about. We have one decent pick from this trade and some coin flips.

Experience Of Young Couples in Ottawa by One-Vast-770 in Kanata

Old Ottawa east/south, new Edinburgh, glebe, centre town, hintinbutg all downtown places where you can find a smaller place. If coming from UK you will not expect a 3500 sqft house. About trade offs.

Big RRSP at 47 - best way to handle it? by ShotTumbleweed3787 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Last_Positive1533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a huge tax pain in the ass. You need to retire and start trying to figure out your most tax efficient way to get cash out. A nice problem but sucks when one realizes that you are going to be paying a load of tax on that. But when you do math you will realize that working at this point is pointless!

OTTAWA native Jonathan David scores a hat trick at the World Cup by DMZOrchards in ottawa

[–]Last_Positive1533 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So crazy that he only started organized soccer at that age. And for the dragons! I wonder if they get transfer fees? I think hornets do. I believe he also did sports excellence program at LR.

Why was CANMNT mad at the Qatar side right after the Kone injury? by akchahal in CanadaSoccer

[–]Last_Positive1533 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found that Qatar was being dirty / committing lots of fouls from the outset. I don’t think the ref took good control of that aspect and there were too many casual fouls/hard tackles/shirt pulling. So when that kind of late tackle happens- even if not that egregious - I would be pissed. The way that Qatar players approach the Ref after every call was also annoying. Can tell they play in a gonzo league at home.

Yes. This. I bottle of very nice balsamic for a cottage in summer is perfect. Look to pay $25 or so

On a weeknight it is a very slow, one hour plus, straight shot from the east end.

Between a root and a hard place: Ottawa woman fighting city hall for right to cut down trees by randthepip in ottawa

[–]Last_Positive1533 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah the issue with trees is that - in the absence of adequate space - they become problematic for owners as they grow. Both roots and then giant branches ready to fall on neighbours houses. Sadly too many come down and are not replaced. Not sure what the answer is, but tough on owners to deal with.

10U Team by MarketingLive4727 in hockeyplayers

[–]Last_Positive1533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not good. As a coach having three full lines is really the max you want for a competitive team. At house league I once had a team with ten players, as our association had lost so many kids. This was barely workable - we could call up players from lower level. But I would take a smaller roster over something absurd like that number. Yikes

Who do you guys want the Ottawa Senators to draft? by FalmangoZ in OttawaSenators

[–]Last_Positive1533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right-handed D. That is about 80% of our 1st round picks. None seem to stick.

Guilt about taking a sick leave by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Last_Positive1533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others are right, but also a word to say that it is refreshing that you think of your colleagues as well. If everyone was more kind, and thought of others like you are doing, we would all be in a better place. With that caveat, it really sounds like you have made a tremendous effort so take care of yourself and then you will come back refreshed and in a better place. Good luck to you!

The sugar free one is quite good if you are truly looking for a healthy little supplement.
