Of course in Canada Universities are a Provincial government responsibility not Federal.

One of two Canucks in the stick logo era to hit 38 goals. Doesn't look like the other will make this list

Been there, done that, too many times. Proud of you for stepping up.

At this point I don't think we can discount the possibility that these "mishaps" are cover for Trump selling these planes on the black market.

And here I thought I was hard done by with an increasingly useless knee that needs replacing and having to help care for a wife who's undergone major surgery. Did get all my marks done eventually though.

'Doris Day' petition hits the mark | CBC News

This reminds me of Stockwell Day's stupid promise to hold a referendum on any topic as long as it was supported by a petition signed by three per cent of Canadian voters, which then prompted Rick Mercer to start one that would require Stockwell to change his first name to Doris. Hit the mark easily.

Tried this of course. Got us up to 5th after 50 or so tries. Otherwise no movement at all. Interesting though that the four teams just above us jump up into top5 five relatively often.

Wait until they found out how many economist plagiarized "We leverage a novel instrumental variable that is plausibly exogenous."

Fed up with trying to comment on your site. But here's my response - Pass on Forbert, in particular if Willander signs. He'll just get in the way. Suter maybe but not for much of an increase. Boeser yes. Might score only twice what Suter does but the value of that isn't linear

I won't vote to prevent a PP government because I hate him. I'll vote against him because I think he's not competent. He's an economic illiterate, has destructive ideas about things like the CBC and aspects of health care and social policy. I also don't like his smarmy, weaseley demeanor.

That's when they at least deign to list something from out of province. Be nice if they also relaxed ability of bars and restaurants to bring things in without the extra paperwork and government warehouse routing

Waiting to see the details before I'm impressed. I'm assuming they're dropping barriers to personally carrying alcohol across borders or having it delivered. What about a bar in one province that wants a keg of something from another province?
