  1. Well, here is some opposition. Let’s show them how Canada fights back!! Also could someone please destroy Zegras?
  2. Totally agree, all I can say about Zegras is thank you for giving me a bigger reason to cheer. I’m all about Canada winning gold but it’s more fun when there is someone on the other side to cheer against.
  3. Here goes... As a team Vancouver “surprises” much like last year. Top three in the North and get to the second (possibly further with some luck) round again. Goaltending will be critical and I suspect a slight regression from the numbers Marky put up last year but bolstered by a stronger defence. Jake turns into a legit third line speedy forchecking machine. He isn’t going to make it on the top 6 because... Hoglander is the sweet spot this year. He is going to fill in perfectly for Toffoli. This team is really coming together amd should be ready to truly compete in the next 2-3 years as the less useful vets fall off. I don’t think we will win the cup (ok I always think they will win the cup but wouldn’t bet a lot of money on it) but are not going to take the steps back that have been predicted elsewhere. This season will look a lot like last season but with better D, younger again and heading towards a more balanced cap situation in the near future.
  4. You’re not getting rid of me that easy. I think I want to watch podz as much as I want to see team Canada. Always a Canadian first...would love to see Podz score a hat trick against Canada to secure a 4-3 loss and a silver medal
  5. Kudos to the Slovaks for this one, it’s a loss on the scoreboard but a win everywhere else. Don’t sleep on these kids, they don’t quit
  6. Phew! I wasn’t expecting this close of a game. Hoping they learn some lessons from this if we want a chance at the gold. Sweden or Russia will be tougher than this.
  7. Ok I’ve missed hockey but forgotten the stress. Score another one boys! Let’s put it together now
  8. I see you are proving my point for me. Claiming the “idiots” are out and about while the “smart” ones resort to name calling. I’m not waving flags or calling anything a hoax. The vast majority are not. I do want some rights to remain when this is all said and done. I’m glad you’re enjoying your free speech to call people with a different train of though names as it’s one of the things I would like preserved. Do your cause a favour and try staying quiet.
  9. An honest question with an attempt at putting my own beliefs aside for a minute. Do you think it will help your cause to insult people? Regardless of an opinion, side or set of beliefs your hopes should be to sway others to see it your way. Facts, figures, science should all be on your side. How does using childish “crying” and name calling help to sway people that are having a difficult time seeing things your way?
  10. Honestly, who didn’t have that on the bingo cards? There have been some pretty accurate predictions out there for a while. Anyone want to place a wager with me about the increasing lockdown demands as we approach the new year?
  11. I agree with this. If you mute the people with a different opinion than your own you will quickly be in an echo chamber. Horgan literally didn’t understand his own regulations. You don’t have to agree with KoS, like him or even listen to him (block is always an option for the individual) but the amount of people in here making comments opposing his viewpoint that can’t complete a sentence without an insult is more disturbing to me. Just because some of us want our government to be transparent and make rules that can be understood (yoga cancelled but PE class and gyms are aok) by normal people (like Horgan) doesn’t make us all anti-mask anti-vax idiots. Like many others on here KoS has some valid points and will happily stuff them down your throat
  12. Look at the numbers posted here daily. The majority of deaths are in the elderly and those with existing health issues. A healthy immune system does not guarantee anything but it does appear that a weakened immune system combined with Covid is nearly a death sentence. I would like to know more about why there are no instructions or guidelines on how to don and doff our masks. Where are the disposal bins, washing recommendations and insistence to change masks when moving between stores and different areas as well. There is definitely more information that could and should be shared. I hardly think that proof is required to say a healthy body with a good immune has a better chance though. Why else are immune compromised people at such high risk?
  13. Connor Zary and Dylan Garand both play for the Kamloops Blazers. I don’t know exactly where they fit compared to some of the big names out there, but I have nothing but good things to say about both having watched them live several times.
  14. So...no answers again. Same story, lots of questions but no answers. A debate requires both. You are clearly incapable of discussion so I will step aside. Have a great weekend.
  15. The change of direction...asked a direct question, give no answer. Let me demonstrate. You asked what is has to do with Covid. I will answer...the massive debt is a result of spending by the government during a pandemic. Things like Cerb, cews and a whole lot of money that they won’t explain where it went. Money spent to to Covid is what this has to do with Covid. Let’s see if you can try it. 100’s of billions of dollars in debt do not simply vanish. How to you suppose that our leaders plan on lying it back? You doubt it will be through taxes, blissfully ignoring the tax hike announced yesterday. What is the plan? I didn’t ask what our debt to gdp ratio is.
  16. Another well thought out and well worded response. Can you explain the carbon tax increase already announced. Additionally maybe you could humor me with what the government plans to do with the crippling levels of debt we are in? Print more money and give it away too?
  17. So...we have: Police refusing to put on a mask and ticketing people who complain about it. Published ads looking to attract snowbirds (totally legal) Schools not only open but looking for housing for extra non-local students (apparently also legal) Constant changes to rules that make no sense - eg now grandparents can visit at Christmas if they give critical care...who determines this? It’s a random exemption for some people to skirt the rules. Are people starting to see that there is no plan? The government is going to give every family $1000.00 for the holidays. Do you know where that comes from? Do you know how they plan on paying back the hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars being borrowed. I’ll give you a hint...it’s not by taxing the rich. Your taxes are going to go up, way up. Your paycheque will go down and everything will get more expensive as the wealthy increase prices to offset any losses they incur. Covid is not a hoax, wear a mask but keep your eyes open. The rules do not apply equally. If the only punishment for a crime is a fine then the law only applies to the lower classes.
  18. I assure you as this is a topic I am actually qualified to respond to, there is no freezer that will keep these vaccines cold enough. They are needed to be stored at -70 degrees. The average freezer will get down to around 0...a “really good one” might achieve -10 to -20. We are talking about cryogenics here. I believe most transports are using dry ice to deliver and store. Not to further my “rep” as a tin foil hat wearer but I think any theory about organized crime wanting them seems a little far fetched. I could see a wacko trying to destroy them though. If you can think of something stupid there is likely someone willing to do it.
  19. Well, we can agree on this one. Why would anyone try to sabotage vaccines??? Find these people and deal with them. It’s one thing to not want to take it, it’s another to actively try to destroy for people that do.
  20. Thank you! I admit that my “efforts” are pretty typical of someone posting on an internet forum but I have tried to find these stats and can’t seem to. I can find information from years back and up to the minute Covid reports but I’m sure they are around. For what it’s worth I live in Kamloops, where the problem has grown so bad this year with opioids that our city council is trying to get Ottawa to declare it a health emergency. This could be a local thing, but even this information only seems to be available through castanet...a small local internet news outlet. No one cares about anything other than Covid it seems.
