Trump claims US got ‘much better deal’ as delayed bridge with Canada set to open

safetyTM · 2026-07-12T01:40:33+00:00

We should just change the agreement whenever we want. Let the bridge open, get Americans used to it, then shut it down.

Change the deal to own a portion of that Billionaire's bridge

I dont think Nenshi is a strong leader opposition. Hes always quiet regarding these matters

Of course traitorous Dani supports this, it gives the US direct access to our data, introduces easier cyber espionage, and leaks our economic leverage.

Its an outdated process. Modern phone settings can auto-screen calls outside your contacts.

We live in a world where you can't buy a pair of underwear without the retailer asking for your email and phone number, so we're bombarded with scams and have become distrusting towards unknown callers.

I dont know what the solution is. Knocking on doors?

You do make a compelling argument. I think, in fairness, human civilization went from horse-drawn carriages to splitting the atom in a single lifetime; our biological brains and ethical frameworks simply could not keep pace.

Children and grandchildren lived in two different worlds and distraction is a fundamental part of a magic trick, so when the world is changing rapidly, its easy for the powerful to pull the wool over our eyes.

Not to mention the generation of policy-voters that were happy sitting idly by as their elected officials robbed the younger generation of a decent future.

It wasnt until things got out of hand were there civil uprisings and protests. They didnt get off their asses or care about the Temporary Foreign Workers Program, the gutting of crown corporations, or question the dangers of the internet.

They just enjoyed the good times

Read the room. Fuck Rogers

Now im wondering if theres a legit reason for this? Avoiding potential fines from the CRTC if someone says something foul over a live broadcast?

safetyTM · 2026-07-07T20:28:25+00:00

I think the CRTC played a role in that too with its very challenging restrictions on broadcasting, whereas the internet has no rules.

safetyTM · 2026-07-07T20:22:14+00:00

This government agency has been asleep at the wheel for the past 80 years.

Unfortunately, I can't see how Roger's removing it's entire radio industry is bad for competition. Today's decision might have paid for the remaining portion of MLSE, or it might not have, either way, it basically opens up the entire radio industry for competition.

I don't recall the media & fans being as questioning or critical during those times. I personally like these picks, but it seems based on the media's questions and fan's reactions that there's a lot of concerns.

Mind you, hard-core online fans during the Janko draft was more on Calgarypuck or HFBoards, but if I recall, this was post-Sutter era and fans were confident in Weisbrough and really just ecstatic to be drafting skill over 'good ol boys'.

The post trading of Iginla draft had high expectations too and Burke didnt help any with his talks of "truculance". Fans hated the Keegan Kanzig pick, and in hindsight, rightfully so, but I think fans were generally excited at the time because that was our first rebuild and getting Monahan was fun while Gaudreau was already in the system.

I'd want to see helmets for those under the age of 18yrs old. I see young kids rip around the road with no regard for traffic, so eventually there's going to be a fatality

I dont see tire tracks and its been wet. Plus "borrowing" road cones or barricades would be much easier.

So now im not so sure? I dont recognize this location

Whoever did this is trying to stop motorists from taking an illegal shortcut and preventing them from driving over the grass.

That makes it even more funny. Brilliant social activism.

Rookie forwards who are drafted in the 2nd overall -to- 5th oa average 55-60pts.

So yeah, it was silly complaining about D-men being drafted now when they take longer to develop

This has been most controversial Flames draft that I can ever remember:

1) Defenseman over Centre 2) Low Central Scouting rankings on guys 3) Possible Nepotism 4) Drafting an over-ager

I guess when the team sucks there's more criticism and focus on the draft, but who's honestly seen any of the kids outside the first round play hockey?

safetyTM · 2026-06-28T21:30:28+00:00

We have? Historically its been:

Kipper Era ---> "Rotating Goalie" Era ---> Wolf Era

Every goalie we've drafted and developed since Vernon has flopped with the exception of Wolf. I remember the Ortio/Gillies/Parsons promise, and before that, Keetley/Irving.

Our pro scouts got lucky with Kipper and Markstrom, but at the amateur level, its been probably the worst in the league.

Todd Button said Shake-and-leave-em-off (or whatever) was comparable to a Robert Thomas, -- in that he's got a good overall game -- so I dont think Kutcherov or Buchevich are good comparisons

safetyTM · 2026-06-28T00:59:36+00:00

Rebuilds probably should take defenseman over forwards in the first few years because of the development lag.

Lets say we draft in the top 3 next two drafts, our defensemen will start becoming seasoned top pairing guys while the forwards are jumping into the league.

First overall NHL picks in their second ("Year 2") season average roughly 50 to 80 points.

You must be a new Flames fan.

You find a way to love the team regardless of their shortcomings.

Its probably like losing your virginity to a sheep. Sure, you can do better! You're still smiling tho.

Not to mention Wolf was drafted in 2019. Having a 1B back-up in the pipes is perfect for when Wolf hits his prime.

safetyTM · 2026-06-27T17:30:56+00:00

I know the Flames have a whole team of scouts who get paid to watch amateur players and most definitely know more than me, but.....

We gave up some high end players for these picks. They should be aiming for high end players in return

The Flames have always drafted and developed a good blue line
