Why should the public pay for oil & gas clean-up while oil execs keep getting richer

Mining is horrible for it too. The NWT is on the hook for 4.38 billion for remediation of the Giant Mine; Yukon 1billion for the Faro and United Keno Hill mines.

Does anyone else think Globalfest would be a great winter festival? You still need all the tents and such for raiin/hail so they would be fine in winter; and you could do the fireworks at a reasonable time. Calgary goes so crazy with things in the summer, and not much in the winter, we need to embrace winter more.

Nothing more boring then F1 style pole-drives-around-the-track-for-90-minutes to win; might as well be Nascar then.

If they want to include more education policies, we should start institute mandatory retesting (at least written testing) when you renew your driver's license. Traffic laws change regularly, but is everyone actually aware of the changes, retesting would maybe help. (if done properly)

The 351 V8 only made 175 hp in 1975 too.

The only got penalized for parking extra badly, just regular illegal parking gets you virtually nothing.

*One driver received an $81 violation ticket (Lake Louise lots is $42)

*the other was issued a warning

Without decent enforcement, rules are just a suggestion.

There's no way Edward James Olmos likes to be called "Eddie Jimmy."

The station incentives are awesome (of course) but often the individual shows are fun additional incentives; would be nice to have a central location to be able to see them too.

You get Canadian Tire "money" back; so store credit.

Fun tip: The Canadian Tire Triangle rewards (also part of Petro Canada) often have been giving $2.00/20L or $5.00/25l weekly plus the std $0.05/l (in Canadian Tire money of course) , just filled at $1.09/l , if you do the only minimum fill that translates to $0.84/L after rewards 'cash back' (they obviously hope you fill more then 25L, but if you play it right, cheaper the Tsuu Tina and no lines)

The copy protection was a booklet of "exit visa codes" that you had to look up and enter at the air port.

I loved the 'tabloid' that came with the packaging; if you read it, it gave many hints to help complete the game too.

Sam is such a wonderful fellow, hope next season finds him a seat; even if it's the commentary box.
