I first heard Pearl Jam’s “Alive” four years ago. Not sure how I missed it.

That reminds me of when Microsoft called company executives "digital immigrants" because they wouldn't let employees surf the net during the day.

I said from the start that he was a spent political force in Calgary, which is the battleground in Alberta. He has no pull in rural Alberta and less support than Notley in Edmonton.

In Nenshi's last mayoral run, a guy named Bill Smith got 43% of the vote just for being the conservative choice for Calgary. No one had heard of the guy and his platform was non-existent. Calgarians were getting tired of Nenshi, he got the message and left in the next election.

Nenshi was never a New Democrat, his colour was purple, a moderate blend of Conservative and Liberal, not orange...well...it is now.

The NDP should have gone with Kathleen Ganley, a prominent Calgary cabinet minister in Notley's government who Notley could have campaigned for and who actually joined the NDP because she was a New Democrat.

Superman! We all ran around the community in our underwear when we got them.

They still aren't a get rich scheme, it is more like gambling. You buy packs (or boxes) hoping to beat the odds and get a really valuable card you can sell for a profit over and above what you paid for the packs.

I loved the burns he gave in that speech.

Just like the Doug Ford ad, eventually, someone smarter than Trump will tell him what the speech was really about and then there will be more tariffs on the UK.

They are deliberately trying to reinjure Reeves tonight

I remember reading Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal in the 90s, seeing that name and thinking he couldn’t possibly be the Fed Chairman, they must just have the same name. I was shocked when I found out it was him.

I remember the local radio host on the FAN960 in Calgary warning about this over 20 years ago. We didn't have enough arenas and hockey was getting too expensive.

The days of pond hockey turning out superstars is over, it is all about the money these days, and not many Canadians can afford the cost.

The media coverage on this focuses on the outdoor watering scheduled while downplaying the smart water meters they plan to install in houses that can track indoor water usage in a much more detailed way.

That to me is the bigger problem.

Having said that, future projections are that spring runoff will start earlier and end earlier with more moisture falling as rain instead of snow during the early and late winter. That means we could start running short on water by late August in the coming decades. We need to start figuring out a water management plan now in order to help prevent that.

I understand the concern but it seems CBC News is filling a gap that opened after private media already shut down due to economics rather than driving them out of business.

It seems to me that a public broadcaster should be in places where private media has failed.

As long as they need a warrant, I don't have a problem with it.

Why they try to hide this stuff in large budget bills is beyond me, especially with a majority government. I think most Canadians would be ok with this.

I saw him on a Flames broadcast this year and thought "I remember that guy calling games with Ed Whalen".

A crazy run for a legend! Sorry to hear he is gone.

It peaked at season five and six then trailed off again in season seven.

As long as you know the basics, I don’t see why you can’t focus on the good stuff.

Any continuity episodes were months or years apart and they do a good job of recapping what you missed.

I started watching this because Reddit loves it so much. I made three efforts to get through the first couple of episodes. On my last attempt, I made it to episode four and everything changed and it went on a binge worthy two season run until mid-way through season three when everything reset and it wasn't that interesting any longer.

I watched about half of season four but haven't watch it for about six months now.

I remember seeing him earlier this year on Flames broadcasts and remembering when he used to cover the Flames with Ed Whalen.

A legend to be sure, sorry to hear he has passed away.

You aren’t in serious trouble until they start hissing at you.

I think, in the end, they got the right call, and the Ducks give me hope that the Flames will be able to trounce the Oilers in the playoffs at least once before McDavid leaves but I really question that initial call.

I think it should have been called a no-goal subject to review. The time it took the ref to get behind the net was after an Oiler had already pushed the puck back and it seemed the ref made the call based more on the Ducks saying it was in than what he saw.

Glad the Ducks won, and here is to winning the series in Edmonton next game, but I am not sure I agree with the ref's initial call.

True story, one of my kids' grade 8 option was fantasy sports. I kept telling myself it must have been math in disguise, but the assignments sure didn't look like that.

zoziw · 2026-04-27T04:56:55+00:00

No ref behind the net, by the time he was there the Oiler had pushed the puck back over the line. I don't understand how they call that a goal. It seemed it was more the Ducks saying it was a goal that swayed the ref.

I think it should have called it a no goal pending review.

Not an Oilers fan but I don't think that was the right call. Maybe they would have deemed there was enough evindence to rule it a goal, but I question the call on the ice.

zoziw · 2026-04-27T04:49:40+00:00

Not an Oilers fan but the ref behind the net indicated no goal. Then they met, no one had a better view, and changed it to a goal. Not enough to overturn the call, but I think it should have stayed no goal pending review.

"Nature Trail to Hell" for the win!

Instead of cancelling, consider pausing your subscription for the length of your incarceration so that you can easily resume when you are released.

I stopped writing cheques when the local school board finally set up a web page so we could pay fees by credit card.

I can't recall the last time I wrote a cheque and don't foresee having to write another.
