Believe It Or Not...

 

...There Are Things More Important To Canada Than The Fate Of The Blue Jays.


And, would 'a thunk that one of those things would be happening in the province of wild roses.

The following is from the invaluable David Climenhaga's latest:

When Thomas Lukaszuk said he could bring Elections Alberta pro-Canada petition forms signed by 300,000 Albertans in the three months allowed by the United Conservative Party’s “citizen initiative” legislation, there were many who said it couldn’t be done...

{snip}

...And yesterday, Mr. Lukaszuk and his supporters delivered 61 boxes containing petition sheets with 456,365 signatures to Elections Alberta’s modest headquarters in an Edmonton industrial park. That’s almost certainly enough to ensure Elections Alberta can validate enough to reach the 294,000 required by the law...


What's it all about Alfie?

Well, apparently, it's a concerted effort to beat the separatists at their own rigged game.

Imagine that!

****

And now on to a much more pressing matter, at least for the moment...

Given that the Hawk is already there, isn't it about time Dave Steib was ushered into the Hall of Fame?

Then of course, there's the use of the Notwithstanding Clause to legislate the teachers back to work. This has opened a huge can of worms that will never be closed. I am hoping that it will finally force the Federal Government and (or) the Supreme Court to figure out a way to stop provincial governments from using it (the Notwithstanding Clause) to abrogate human rights.

With the notwithstanding clause in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms makes it the same as the American constitution - a scrap of paper.

Stieb was not a Hall of Famer.

Here’s a couple good articles about Stieb going to the Hall. One long one with lots of stats about why he didn’t get there and one shorter article about why he should. Both are good reads if you’re into that kinda thing. It seems, at the very least that the Jays should have retired his number, 37. Although they have inducted him into their Level of Excellence award and have so far only retired two other numbers, Alomar and Halladay.

Could'a used Stieb for Bassitt and/or Bieber last night...

Does IKF not know to run through a force play at the plate?
