(They did not find the energy they needed in the 2nd)

We need the Jets to find some energy here in the 2nd or their win streak is in jeopardy ##GoJetsGo

Drooling in Economics class can also be embarrassing. I am available for interviews.

I disagree with "sustained high interest rates". Interest rates and mortgage lending rates are reasonable/typical currently.

"From our security cameras, we saw that someone broke into our compound and set a fire next to our overhead door"

Why are people like that. So maddening.

I don’t know about reviving their economy. After Bush invaded Iraq the US plunged into it's worst economic crisis since the great depression.

I did this as a kid -- wrote the books i read on the back of my bookmark -- and got away from it. Just started doing it again. Once the bookmark fills up it's time for a new one!

This one is made from a Christmas card.

I do not agree -- we shouldn't renew at any cost, but a fair agreement, if we can get one, is still very beneficial for Canada even as we diversify away from the U.S. We need freer trade with other nations *in addition to* free trade with the U.S.

It's not a random sample, but 75% "very" dissatisfied; 1/3 with commutes downtown over an hour ... yikes.

If transit doesn't get the fundamentals right -- to/from downtown and the university -- it's an emergency. Can't sit on this and hope ppl will someday figure out the magic transit cheat code.

Is "ducaed" an obscure cooking term you picked up abroad, or a typo of "diced"?

I'm amused by the Time magazine cover with him holding a small northern pike that everyone else would throw back in the water.

I can't imagine this lasting long. This is going to annoy a whole lot of people who are important to the Republican party.

This is good, but I'm curious what we'll see moving through Churchill in 10 or 20 years. Don't expect it to go back to being a big grain port and don't expect oil to go through there.

It's great to support domestic industry but we also need value for money. Paying 3x the amount for something .. as the Cdn military has done sometimes in the past .. isn't good use of tax dollars.
