  1. It clearly shows that Markstrom could not slide over to make he save cuz Saad was in the crease.
  2. Heads up. Granville St bridge shut down due to protestors.
  3. Quick trade LE to MIN. Then Guerin can say "We acquired a proven 30 goal scorer for most of his career and will add veteran experience to the leadership group".
  4. My bet would be Lions Gate. Causes the most disruption and will surely be on the news.
  5. Cambie and Broadway intersection cleared. Protestors moved to BC Supreme Court. Protest later and undisclosed location (to block traffic again).
  6. Loved the Olympics. They are lighting up the cauldron downtown today. I hope it can one day come back so my kids can experience and enjoy it like I did. As for the venues "white elephants", I don't think there is that many structures gone to waste. The new structures were built for future purposes in mind. I think the ski jump is under utilized but that to be expected.
  7. Police should have roadblocks on the outer perimeter to prevent additional cars to the backlog. Then try to get cars stuck out one by one. Edit: sorry to hear your wife got caught in that mess.
  8. I heard they were kicking cars for getting too close or trying to squeeze through the protest line. Not sure if true or not.
  9. A little bit morbid but a Funeral Director and grave diggers would be stable employment.
  10. I've been hearing of a rumor where the older parents move into the Laneway house while their adult children(s) live in the main house. Housing prices and still too high for young people to even dip their toe into the market. I worry for my kids future.
  11. Well you could give your money to the tribes/bands. I'm pretty sure they won't so NO. Perhaps you can run a nonprofit charity for them as well.
  12. I wonder if the protesters would have the balls to protest outside of Roger's Arena on Wednesday when the Canucks are to retire the Sedins jerseys. To be honest, I'd be pretty pissed if they did that.
  13. The protesters are planning on setting up tents to block the intersection at Cambie and Broadway 24/7.
  14. That's why I said some and not all. It just irked me that someone so young was audacious enough to plainly say she just wanted free money. I've been working since I was 14yrs old. Held onto 2 jobs for a couple of years (even 3 jobs one summer) until I got a good paying job. Never collected EI or UI (whatever its called nowadays). Hard work is what my father instilled into me. Something I intend to pass onto my children. Work hard and get a good job.
  15. Reminds me of an interview at Tent City several years ago. The reporter was interviewing a young female adult (early 20s) and was asked why she couldn't find a job (or a question similar to that). Her response was "Why should she if she can collect welfare?" It's the entitlement attitude that is what wrong with some of the younger generation. Sorry but your not entitled to free money, free housing, free everything if you chose to sit on your arse and not do anything to improve your situation.
  16. Cuz usually the other team wants to trade back one of their problems too.
  17. Nope. Hence they'll get a King's ransom when they trade McDavid too.
  18. I'm sure if it looks like that they can't re-sign him and Oilers look to be out of a playoff spot in year 2 of the contract, he'd fetch a high return at Trade deadline.
  19. Are you taking into account that people retire, pass away, change jobs, get fired?? In down times, just like any business, there will be hiring freezes, layoffs (usually casual or part timers), and vacancies (positions not filled yet) removed from staffing. But like any business, they could trim the fat and/or get rid of programs. The Phoenix debacle was to reduce payroll staff and get things automated. However the genius who brought it in failed to test it for all the Government working hour scenarios. Thus a lot of people got screwed (ie, not getting paid).
  20. Lol. I just wanted to post this gif.
