Re: First Leo Player Meeting in Three Years

As a coach, I'd never allowed my team to have a "players only" meeting as I believe that coaches are integral to a team's performance and the players aren't able to solve their problems by themselves . Seriously....? Yes. I have yet to ever see a clear rationale given for a players only m...

Re: Thoughts on this team

Well due to not looking at the schedule and my work commitment half way around the globe I missed this game. The team has no doubt yet to jell for a lot of reasons this season including: 3. babies being born - maybe some extra pressure - and without blaming anyone or complaining about it, it has to...

Re: Carbon tax whining??

Just saw that abominable carbon-tax TV ad again, and something struck me right from the opening sentence: "Ever wonder what's causing Global Warming<tm>?" Well... no, actually... because we've already been told repeatedly for the past two years (egads, has it only been two years since Unc...

Re: Carbon tax whining??

Since the 'science' behind the carbon tax is flawed and it's based more on groupthink, could we at least be given the chance to opt-out of this? Afterall, a majority of Canadians believe the carbon tax is bunk, which leads me to conclude that there is a growing consensus that the reasons behind the ...

Re: Carbon tax whining??

The problem is that taxing consumption on carbon usage is essentially a knock against our oil based economy. As forward thinking as many see it as, it’s really too far ahead of where we are and where we need to be. There's where we differ in opinion. I think most people would be happy to be less de...

Re: Carbon tax whining??

Call me American…but I was always taught and firmly believe “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENATION.” Did we vote on this? I didn’t. This tax is non-representative of my views on this issue and non-representative of concrete, irrefutable facts. The theories of Henry Hazlitt are sure to be proven with th...

Read my lips: No more taxes!!! :no: For the entire lot of crackpot ‘experts’ that weigh in on global warming, there are opinions on both sides that believe in it, and those that do not.
