  1. how if the parents are told the kids are in a GSA? there's no privacy at all in that case. This is about pandering to christian parents that can't handle whats going on with their kids and think they have some control by doing this. Its a $&!#ty idea.
  2. thats a red herring. Kids have a right to privacy about their lives. The whole idea here is to keep kids safe, you turning it on its ear like this to pry into the kids lives is whats wrong with the UCP idea. Its not complicated at all. GSAs give kids a safe place to learn who they are. Guys like you and Kenney probably think you can pray it away.
  3. no that would be you. Kenneys proposed change is precisely the problem. How many kids do you think will join a GSA if their parents will be told?
  4. that made me laugh out loud for some reason the stuff going on around central city is encouraging
  5. Gardiner should have a line of fishing tackle named after him, he floats around out there so well.
  6. I feel that theres no contradiction between wanting the Leaves to lose and Boston ending up winning. I have up to 3 more rounds to cheer for Boston to lose.
  7. works out to about $1.12 per litre right now at the Bellingham Costco. Its hard not to go if you're able to.
  8. If gas prices do go up we'll probably go PHEV or full electric. We've been on the fence about it but that would tip things to justify it. New license plate for it too. or maybe
  9. I think they'd be interested in some of our d prospects as well, maybe picks. Their current non-roster d prospect pool is thinner than ours: https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/penguins
  10. I hope so, that means we'll probably leap frog them in development If they could shed Lucic I think the 8th is in the cards if they got a top 4 RHD or shut down C back on decent terms. No new GM is going to come in and preach patience, the fans think they have the 'best player in the world' and they expect results, not some slow moving plan to get them there.
  11. yeah but no fit here anyway on those two I'd hope Jim was looking at something for Bjugstad or maybe Letang otherwise I'd like him to stay away from anyone else. Letang does have NMC protection tho so that poses a potential Seattle issue and we may not be on his 18 team trade list.
  12. true but they are up against it, no GMs are going to be offering much. Cap dumps might be the best play they have.
  13. so... lets play this out a little. Kenney is apparently, unless he's lying about this too, going to fight with Trudeau and BC at the same time, and he plans to stick it to BC with extreme gas prices in a bid to force us to accept a pipeline. And you think this is going to be a winning strategy? Horgan is very popular in BC right now, and he also doesn't mind a public dust up. All Kenney is going to do is destroy any support he had in BC for the pipeline. If we have $2 gas prices this summer and its due to Kenney, say goodbye to any hope of cooperation on TMX. Horgan will have all the public will he needs for a prolonged fight if Kenney follows through with his idiotic turn off the taps threat. And it will also just up support for Trudeau, as Scheer has aligned himself with all of this.
  14. I was thinking that too, but with Pearson, Roussel, Beagle, Leivo, Jake, etc we've got lots of guys in this category, but maybe if we could look at some sort of swap it could work - they take Spooner 1/2 retained (which they'd then bury in the minors) for Rust.
  15. They are already 250,000 over the cap if it stayed the same for next season, so all they will have is around 3 mil. They have to shed contracts, and some good ones. I wonder what we could get Bjugstad for.... can't be a player swap of any significance. Maybe our 2nd and a d prospect? Pearson-Bo-Bjugstad could be a legit 2nd line.
  16. like I said, they are well founded fears. The idea of making parents aware and involved in GSAs e.g., is a terrible one. Removing them all together will be a disaster for these kids. Kids at that age need a place to figure out whats going on with them, not be forced out of yet another place where they don't fit. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/gay-straight-alliances-gsas-edmonton-schools-1.4406501
