Tonquin Beach in Tofino. Love Tuff city for shooting. Shot on a Nikon D850, lens was a Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8g edited in LR

I just bought a google pixel 3. I enjoy the camera in it but can see problems with the images due to the sensor sizes. Over sharpening decreased sharpness in RAW files attributed to that size etc. Love where it's going. But mirrorless cameras...now the big 3 are all in the mirrorless markets and it's uber intriguing

The ground is already broke in numerous areas, First Nations groups are not just on board now but most are now banding together to see about raising capital needed to purchase the actual pipeline as well. This pipeline will get completed because it IS in fact the safest pipeline as it is already in existence and is just being expanded on and upgraded. Once the oil hits the ships that is another story though. It at this point in time is ensuring everyone is happy is all and that's the hardest actual part of the project. Also, as you pointed out. The bitumen puck facility will also be operational in the near future and there are a great deal of companies on board with trying to find the most cost efficient way of transporting bitumen in this manner It's all a mater of time really

Aside from contingencies, insurance, actual spill/risk mitigation. I don't see why people are still arguing this. it's going to get done. That's an inevitability. If people are going to protest anything, protest why there are no preventative measures in place for AFTER the oil gets to the end of the line.

Ummm....what? Increase traffic in ANY capacity in any form on any mode of road/highway or transit route and you increase the risk of an accident. That's literally inarguable. Lacking scientific basis? Hardly, it's simple math

I missed that walk out and shoot. He played that regularly in Kelowna. Putting it together. He's a beauty

I bought a PS4 in October and I know I will get a minimum of 4-5 years of life out of it before the PS5 is any kind of special and by then the PS7 will be coming out which will have a hi def plug in for your rectum and optical enhancing needles for your eyes with a nifty feature that sucks every penny you have out of your account before you even plug it in to ensure you buy all the needed micro transactions

Congrats Lind on getting that monkey off your back

I'll be in Airdrie this April looking at homes via Raj. This is a HUGE boon for Canada and I cannot see any way either the Libs or Cons pass this up at all. Lockheed and Boeing have both had their chances to create these plants and connections in canada over decades but haven't. This would be worth a fighter jet being worth an extra say $5 million or so per unit with the economic spin offs that would be generated as it's investing in home.

What do I win?? Bombardier sale of the c series seems brilliant now if this happens
-
Actually yes, now you're earning the moniker. Constantly coming back to rub the entire fan bases nose in it looking for praise cause you had a preference and one of ours is sitting in rehab. You're literally just trolling people now looking for attention. So yes, if the shoe fits feel free to lace it up

Does hindsight with a lust for MT mean you consistently have to arrive in a room use juvenile language to essentially stroke yourself and your ego in front of everyone while skirting around the ever smarmy "told you so" Calm yourself down son. At this point MT looks like the better player so what. He's a Flame and will be costing the Flames some serious cash. OJ is ours and he's still an unknown. But that unknown is still wearing our colours and sitting in rehab right now Meanwhile your smug self congratulatory BS is at the expense of one of OUR prospects who is sitting in rehab. Good for you. You get to say I told you so on a message board. Go get a cookie, exit stage left and pick up your award on the way out

We would have to formally leave the venture though to my understanding. I could very well be wrong but that's my belief from what I've read since we entered this back in the early 2000s
-
That flies in the face of the contracts we've signed and the money we've invested. The courts would love that.
-
No, because we're part of the contracted R&D investment

Rafale/Dassault is out then? I wasn't entirely sold on them but it makes sense due to the needs Canada has set down for criteria That really leaves America, The Typhoon and Gripen. I am still unsure about the Gripen as it has some logistical issues and with Bolsonaro in office in Brazil and one of the most essential criteria being unmet due to the single engine of the Gripen IK can see it being narrowed down to a fight between Lockheed and Boeing and the Typhoon and with the promise of R&D and actual manufacturing jobs plus the new partnership between Bombardier/Airbus it just makes sense. But that being said I would not put anything past our government in terms of leveraging a purchase through US arms in Lockheed or Boeing against Tariffs or punitive measures the US administration has slapped on canada. Essentially we buy from you, you drop them entirely. Here though is a defence paper in recommendation of the Gripen so.... http://www.canadiandefencereview.com/Featured_content?blog/110 Whether it's a good idea to us or not we don't get a say do we?

Remember our back and forth about the sale of Bombardier to Airbus and how I suggested that it could mean the Typhoon/Eurofighter being made in canada Just saying man it made sense then it makes even more sense now. As well to my knowledge The Rafale and Typhoon are the only two jets where the parent company has offered or suggested jobs in canada via R&D, Manufacturing or the like. Seems like a no brainer really and would SERIOUSLY be a slap to the face of Boeing and the US administration as the added costs due to Tariffs would not be present

What's really interesting about this is A. Palmu/Kakko will end up with some pre-existing chemistry B. Kakko being played as a centre? Has this happened before? With any consistency? If so how has he looked?

To end play Jan 10th 2018. Flames were without the OT bracket, OT 22-20 with 118 GF and 121 GA http://dropyourgloves.com/Games/AnyDateStandings.aspx?Date=2018-1-10&League=1 To end play Jan 10th 2019. Flames are without the OT bracket, 28-17 with 162 GF and 129 GA Calgary is a better team after this trade.

Sigh no. I could get behind the movement here if they were but they're not The yellow vests in France are fighting for their countrymen. For their people. They are essentially advocating socialist style demands at the loss of the mega wealthy, multi national corporations and at a net loss to money grubbing politicians. Up to and including better services for immigrants Here, they are a bunch of numpty in yellow vests screaming about muslims, something about $600 million in payments to the media to buy them off (seriously) the opening of the borders (which has not and will never happen) and the arrest of Trudeau for corruption (which is a total joke as he's thus far dumb but hasn't committed any crimes) Our yellow vests are literally yellowing white power slogans and threatening immigrants and immigration while in France they are literally fighting for better treatment for immigrants and their own people.
