There's also a ton of taxes on smokes I think (I say think as I"m not a smoker). In an ideal world, those "sin taxes" would get exclusively directed to health rather than merely government coffers. Anti-vaxxers don't "pay" anything except being potential carriers.
If Woo manages to crack the lineup, that'll help solve alot of problem. No, he isn't remotely the second coming of Lidstrom. But what he provides/or could provide, fills a ton of holes on the now aging blueline.
He was NEVER paid as a top six forward though. More like a tweener player that one can insert in various spots in the lineup given his defensive ability.
If Loui E was paid similarly, nobody would give two ****’s about his play (eg. In a negative light).
Team Canada clearly underestimated Team Russia. Didn't help that players back then used training camp just to get into shape (and this tournament was before NHL training camp). Also, going in without Bobby Orr is like going into a fight with one arm tied behind your back.
I mentioned this in the "Tony O" thread, but Tony O doesn't get enough credit. Team Russia got a bit frustrated with his "unorthodox style".
lol @ liberties eroded over time.
The corporal was in power starting in 1933. The concentration camps began right after that. They first went after the Communists & added from there.
"But there are only 38 million people in Canada, and Canadians are dying at a faster rate than they are being born."
I try to do my bit but keep getting turned down.
