| Didn't see the first seven minutes so I didn't see the two 5-on-3s. However, from there on, Canada got a lot the breaks. That Develapore or whatever his name is should have gotten a 5 minute and game for checking from behind, and the Canadian goal at the beginning of the third was a result of the gu... |

| Health is far down the list of reasons for restricting the sale of alcohol in Canada. Its all about money. The government is happy because they rake in a lot of doe. The unions are happy because their members make a lot of money. The beer companies, or at least the big beer companies, are happy beca... |

| It still amazes me that the two leading contenders to the Liberal throne were a guy who hadn't lived in the country 25 of the past 28 years and another who was a one-term premier leading another party who is generally thought of as a failure. |

Alcohol is a racket.
I used to work for a beer importer. We used to sell a 24-flat for $4.20 to the LCBO who would turn around and sell it for $28. |

I grew up where -40 for a month stretches were common. I thought the same way. -40 wasn't bad as long as there was zero wind. But if there was even ... |
