The re-trial has ended and they have been found not guilty. A key piece of evidence (recording) was ruled inadmissible...

and the joke that we call a justice system has struck again..... apparently the rcmp didnt have a proper warrent to seize the ipod that had the recordings of the murder plot so it couldnt be used.

LOL....I thought that too after you mentioned it. My point was simply, I am about as far removed from being a "homer" both geographically and in the fact Canucks are not even my fav NHL team (third in fact). My observations are more based upon the prospect this kid is and the game he has. Cheers....and I will work on the high pitched whiny thing!
Berlin by any chance ?

along with some of the other complaints on here, I found it odd how the dead breached the castle and it showed a continous stream of them charging in, then we have about 25-30 minutes of Arya tip toeing around some dead in that room, then running for her life , then some dragon fighting , the knight king getting defeated and when they show the dead shattering into ice they still showed that the steady stream were storming the castle.. How is anyone still alive inside ? That castle should have been filled with the dead out numbering every human 10-1

Trade him to Ottawa so they can get to the cap floor. Take back a 6th round pick. No need to take on someone's dead wood.
A team wont give up anything to take on cap space. It usually involves the team having to offer a prospect or high draft pick to entice the other team to take on dead weight. I suggested Kovalchuk because he can still score which is something that Vancouver could use. It may not be ideal but at this point id rather have Kovy than Loui in the lineup.
-
wonder if we can offer loui to LA for Kovalchuk ? He is a healthy scratch in LA, both have bad contracts but id prefer someone with the skills of Kovy.

Yes phase out...over the next 20 years. Which is intelligent as it ensures jobs and new industry growing at the time others are waning.
As for the only cared about...we just had a PM that flat out said he didn't need Quebec, and also said we should build a firewall around Alberta. There's no prize for being a PM favouring a specific sector or area of the country. They all do it
Is this like a government meeting with a major corporation during an investigation in order to save jobs but also protect wealthy donors?
*cough* KPMG *cough*
Wish people knew that this literally just happened like 5 years ago
Can oil ever be phased out ? It will always be needed......
And there is no denying that you can find dirt on every political party and every politician, but JT campaigned on being different and transparent. id say he has failed on that promise

and even knowing buying the KM project wouldn't get him a single vote in AB, he did that too. Maybe he actually does care about Canadian jobs?
so when the saudi's basically wanted nothing to do with us, except still sell us there oil, why didnt he tell them we dont need there oil and just get the oil from Alberta which would have saved 10 times the amount of jobs that he is claiming to do with SNC ?

So buying the trans mountain project to ensure it goes through is "barely" something? lets get back to reality please.
it wasn't doing "whatever possible" it was asking her to consider a legal option that would help preserve jobs. There's nothing wrong with that.
No I don't consider it unethical unless more comes to light, just reminding a minister of the consequences of a choice isn't unethical. I'd need to hear more about what exactly was said before pronouncing it unethical, but 2-3 phone calls or meeting per month isn't on its own unethical. She herself said Trudeau didn't want it to be seen as interference.
I think she serves at the pleasure of the PM like every single minister in our history ever has. He doesn't need a reason to make a cabinet shuffle.
and where has that got them ? Trudeau himself admitted he wants to phase out Alberta's energy sector which means a loss of jobs. He cared about these 'jobs' because its in Quebec and he knows thats where he needs his votes. He pretty much admitted this when trying to change her mind on the decision.

or he's trying to keep jobs in Quebec. FFS if this was Calgary and Harper, no one in the CPC would be complaining, at all.
So she was pressured. Welcome to politics. I only care if it moved into something unethical and illegal.
When Alberta had enough of what the Conservatives were doing ( provincially ) they voted them out so I disagree there would be no complaining. So its ok to do whatever possible to save 9000 jobs ( which in reality would probably be alot less because the contracts SNC lose out on can be picked up by other Canadian companies ) but Trudeau barely blinks an eye when over 120,000 jobs were lost in Alberta .
After hearing her testimony do you consider what they did to her unethical ? Do you agree she should have lost her position because she didnt give in to there pressure ?

you mean a legal option?
its all great to be about social justice, when its not your job being lost.
The legal options for SNC aren't the issue here, its whether or not the pressure put on JWR was illegal, unethical, inappropriate, or just big pants politics.
Whether it was a legal option or not isnt even the question here. The issue is that JWR had made a decision and then was contacted atleast 11 times requesting her to get involved and change her mind on the decision. She stuck with to her guns and was then demoted for her decision. And for Trudeau himself to get involve and make mention that he was concerned about the Quebec election and to remind her that he was an MP there is ridiculous .

Yes, if the election was only held in English Canada but Trudeau is likely to won all 75 Quebec seats. Trudeau will almost certainly win the next election because if Trudeau gets all of Quebec, 1/2 of Ontario, most of the Maritime provinces, he is going to win. The West does not matter.
Especially when this gets spun that he was trying to save the 9000 jobs based in Quebec. He will be a hero to them

The happiest person that this trade has worked out in the Flames favour has to be James Neal. . . His horrible play can be ignored because of how well the Flames are playing

I know its just a small sample of games, but we have done very well without Edler . I dont think his loss would be as big as an impact as people think. This team is built on its youth upfront and will live and die by how our goaltending does. If a team would be willing to trade a decent prospect or late 1st round pick then id be happy to move him.

WTF, how and why did he ever take 19 faceoffs?!
possibly with the current 3v3 overtime format. We used to run 2-dmen /1 forward so if the forward was kicked out, Edler stepped in .

Absolutely.
What's annoying though is when this government does people want to give them a free pass. The Prime Minister and Finance Minister are guilty of breaking ethics rules and excuses are made and now it's looking like a trend for the Liberals. Actually I suppose it always has been.
There would be an extra 10 pages in the Trump thread right now calling for impeachment but when its one of your own ( liberal, leftist ) then its quickly dismissed or ignored. . .

I know you're not that unintelligent. I mean your post comes across as such so it's possible but let's start with the basics
Don't put words in my mouth. I never once said that. Any of that.
Now to address your points.
More taxes and regulations are not the entire answer. Not once did I claim otherwise. But look at the US slashing taxes cutting services but facing the largest shortfall in it's history in 1 single budget. Think cutting taxes works? Harper did it, managed to end us with the largest single debt under a government in Canadian history. Also didn't create the promised jobs or investment either. If you think for a single second that promising to do more for less in return is sound policy turn around and exit this argument right now. Taxation and regulations are not the entire answer but slashing them in order to compete with the US who can offer far more due to the size of their current GDP and current resource extraction benefits is a foolish belief and shows you don't know or won't accept how the system works
Omar Khadr is a Canadian who was left to rot in a prison. You can claim whatever you want but the previous 2 governments had a chance to fix this and didn't. As such he was asking for over $40 MILLION from the courts, who granted him a win. Not Trudeau, not Harper not Chretien or Martin, the courts. It was either $10 million or $40 million plus. The facts are very easily found if you have the desire to actually look for it instead of parroting the same bullshart gospel the idiot right keep peddling. At no point do I agree with it but if it's a $10 million loss or a $40 million loss I know which number looks more appealing.
The NDP are not socialists. You're smart enough to know otherwise. I don't have any other argument as you're obviously not accepting that truth enough to pick up a book and read what socialism actually is when you make claims like that. They're no more socialist than Harper was a communist or Trump is a Liberal. If you don't agree with their policies fine but don't claim something that isn't true. Giving money from corporations to people is not socialism as currently we give money from the people to corporations and you seem ok with that.
A 3rd party IS the answer, because since confederation we've literally had 2 count em 2 parties in power and we're exactly no better off now than we were 10 years, 20 years or 50 years ago. Moving from 1 abusive relationship where you're lied to to another where you're lied to again only to move back to the first one and rinse and repeat hoping for a better outcome is stupid. Look at America. 2 party system. how's that working out. We're 2-3 decades from being no better than them.
I don't agree with or like True Dough, but I loathe ignorance and the bucketful you just heaped up here as an argument or rebuttal is childish and you should be ashamed of yourself knowing that the entire history of the world is at your fingertips but you didn't take the single minute you needed to ensure your talking points were sound and instead attempted to put words in my mouth to make your argument seem plausible.
Cutting taxes isnt the problem..... government spending is. Right now our system is set up with no accountability so the spending is reckless and damaging.

The Prime Minister believes reformed Jihadists will help prevent radicalization.
In a year-end interview with one of Canada's state television networks, CTV, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that he believes returning Jihadists — like those ISIS members headed back to Canada after losing the fight abroad — can be rehabilitated into "powerful" voices against radicalism within Canada.
To say that's wishful thinking, well, that might just be an understatement.
Now that ISIS is nearly 98% defeated — a product of an increased offensive line against the Jihadists in Iraq and elsewhere — Canada anticipates that some of their departed brethren who left to join in the fight for the Caliphate, will return to their motherland. Unlike the United States, apparently, Canada plans on welcoming the ones who claim to be reformed back with open arms.
And Trudeau thinks that's a good thing.
"We know that actually someone who has engaged and turned away from that hateful ideology can be an extraordinarily powerful voice for preventing radicalization in future generations and younger people within the community,” he told the news network.
This puts him at odds with the man in charge of rehabilitating returning radicals, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, who recently told the same news network that it might be nearly impossible to completely reform an ISIS fighter hardened from the battlefield. In fact, Goodale said, once a Jihadist has left to join the violent crusade, the chances of him returning with good intentions are almost zero.
“If you want to have a good solid hope of some kind of successful intervention, it has to be at a much earlier stage. You have to prevent the problem before it exists,” Goodale said. “Once a person has been in a war zone, once they’ve been actively engaged in terrorist-related activities, the capacity to turn them around is pretty remote.”
But nevertheless, the doe-eyed Trudeau says he'll persist in turning the Islamic radicals into assets for Canada. He does say that he plans on monitoring returning Jihadists for problems, but he's ready and willing to take them back anyway.
Whats really sickening about this are these are people who were burning people alive in cages, raping little girls, destroying and killing everywhere they went and they get welcomed back even better than our war vets. These people arent turning away from ISIS because they are changed people but because they have lost and have nowhere else to go. This decision has to be one of the biggest slap in the faces to law abiding citizens that ive ever seen . How Canadians arent outraged over this is beyond me

Five things from ethic commissioner's report on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Ethics commissioner Mary Dawson concludes PM violated conflict of interest rules in report.
OTTAWA—Ethics commissioner Mary Dawson released a report Wednesday concluding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau violated conflict of interest rules when he vacationed last Christmas at the private island owned by the Aga Khan. Here are five key findings from the report:
1. The Aga Khan did not meet the definition of a friend.
There is an exception in the Conflict of Interest Act for gifts or other advantages from relatives and friends, but Dawson found it did not apply in this case. Dawson's report said the Aga Khan's relationship with Trudeau's father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, developed in the 1960s. That family friendship facilitated the current prime minister's friendship with the Aga Khan, but Dawson said it was still unlikely the vacation offer would have been extended to Trudeau "had there not been official interactions between the government of Canada and the Aga Khan and had Mr. Trudeau not become a significant player on the Canadian political scene."
Trudeau said Wednesday he still sees the spiritual leader to be a "family friend" despite Dawson's determination.
2. The prime minister broke the rules on gifts.
Dawson found Trudeau breached section 11 of the act, which pertains to gifts or "other advantages" when he and members of his family accepted the Aga Khan's "gift of hospitality" and the use of his private island. There were official dealings with the Aga Khan and his foundation — the Aga Khan Foundation of Canada — who were registered to lobby the Prime Minister's Office, Dawson said. She said the vacations could reasonably be seen to have been given to influence Mr. Trudeau in his capacity as prime minister.
3. Flights were an issue.
Dawson found Trudeau breached another section of the act when his family travelled on a non-commercial aircraft chartered by the Aga Khan in March 2016 and when he and his family travelled in the spiritual leader's private helicopter in December 2016. The act bars ministers and their family members from accepting travel on non-commercial chartered or private aircraft for any purpose unless it is in their capacity as public office holders, in exceptional circumstances or with the prior approval of the commissioner — none of which Dawson found in this case.
4. Trudeau failed to take steps to arrange his private affairs.
Dawson found the prime minister failed to arrange his private business in a way that would prevent him from being placed in a conflict of interest when his family vacation on the Aga Khan's private island in March 2016, and when Trudeau joined them on the island in December 2016.
Trudeau told Dawson he felt he could pursue a friendship with the Aga Khan after becoming Liberal leader, and then prime minister. Dawson called this understandable in light of the previous family connection and the fact they share common ideals and goals. However, she said Trudeau must put on hold his pursuit of friendships with individuals he is likely to have official dealings with: "Mr. Trudeau must ensure that he has arranged his private affairs so that they are not incompatible with his public duties as prime minister of Canada."
5. Trudeau failed to recuse himself from talks that gave an opportunity to further interests with the Aga Khan.
Dawson said Trudeau broke section 21 of the Conflict of Interest Act when he failed to remove himself from discussions that provided an opportunity to advance private interests associated with institutions of the Aga Khan. This part of the act requires public office holders to recuse themselves from any discussion, decision, debate or vote on any matter they would be in a conflict of interest.
However, Dawson said Trudeau didn't take part in any votes or decisions, nor provide the Aga Khan's foundation any preferential treatment.

NDP set to unveil $15-billion climate plan that would slash greenhouse gas emissions

I think before we continue to raise or create new taxes, we start becoming accountable and fiscal with the taxes that are already getting collected. Its become a joke how badly tax dollars get wasted or thrown around.
