  1. change is incremental and leadership is required. if Canada takes serious steps to deal with this issue, will that 'solve' it? No. But that's how change works, it's slow and has to be lead by people with the means to make it happen and be the leader. Gay rights, women's rights, banning DDT, etc etc etc. All started by smaller nations as an act of leadership and are now relatively common or law across the world. The whole premise behind your position is 'if everyone else doesn't do it why should we' is a self destructive dead end.
  2. lol what? She started as a protest of 1 in Sweden. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/09/why-greta-wins/598612/ This whole dismissive notion that cause she's a teen she's just having her strings pulled by some faceless puppeteer is pretty obtuse.
  3. I'm not saying she's the best choice, nor do I know how she became famous ahead of others, but the issue was created by adults who have benefited from this and now you expect them to pass significant laws that would fundamentally change the way the system works? Right. The whole premise that we sit here and expect old people to create new laws that will negatively impact them/cost them money to the benefit of future generations without those kids rising up is pretty silly.
  4. Krug available. Looking for high end prospect/pick. Not a bunch of stuff, quality over quantity.
  5. These things are never taken seriously until they are, and it's never the scientists or numbers that convince people. It's people and stories. When you're pushing for institutional change in the way society works, it's hardly going to be someone vested in that institution to change it.
  6. @Tylez just checking as the players moved but the picks didn't on the sheets. cheers,
  7. I liked Biega, you always knew what you were gonna get.
  8. I just think it's BS that he signed with a team that won't even play him when there were others that guaranteed top 6.
  9. 2 days in and I've settled in to 29th place. About right
  10. Florida looking to move out Acciari for a pick. Open to discussing Simon and Vatanen as well. Hit me up for convos.
  11. Just saw the Vegas tweet with Zykov on the starting squad, that's good!
  12. Panthers starting line up Taylor Hall - Sean Monahan - Mats Zuccarello James van Riemsdyk - Colton Sissons - Tyler Bertuzzi Blake Coleman - Alex Kerfoot--Zach Aston Reece Max Jones - Noel Acciari - Dominik Kahun Esa Lindell - Marc Eduard Vlasic Oscar Klefbom - Devon Toews Ben Hutton - Sami Vatanen Mike Reilly - Nikita Zaitsev Philip Grubauer Jordan Binnington IR Zach Hyman Ian Cole Antoine Roussel
  13. @Salter Florida places Thomas Hickey on waivers.
  14. A lot to unpack there including the footprint of 'city tree hugger types' relative to others but whatevs. You're bringing up gretta like that means anything so i'm out
  15. Easy to just say 'hypocrites' if someone does anything other than live in a cave eating berries. You talk about being real but it's phony to dismiss those of us who want something better but still live in the world where things aren't great. I want cleaner air, am I a hypocrite for still breathing? Does my opinion become invalid because I have the gall to continue breathing despite wanting cleaner air?
  16. Yeah it's pretty crazy that in the scale of what we're talking about the predictions are relatively very accurate but because they aren't perfect they are dismissed as irrelevant.
  17. Looks like all my spare part leafs made the team .... For now. Call up Holl, Timashov and Kossila. Barber and Phaneuf to waivers.
