Topic: 2006 Canadian Federal Election - who will you vote for?
Replies: 82

There were sure a lot of far off predictions from the actual numbers. I find it distressing that people even after an election are still calling people crooks for something as inconsequential as owning a successful business that has its head office and many personnel in Montreal while registering sh...

Right now, I'd pick Ryan Thelwell but that is a tough thing to do with Ben Cahoon in the mix. It is hard to not pick a player from the team you support but this guy keeps getting better and better. For me, Jason Clermont is a top receiver but for some games he hasn't had the tosses his way. I know a...

MacNews should have been allowed to go despite being a tad too conservative for a guy his age. :lol:

ok.. so Winnipeg can't give BC much in return for a top QB - very true unless it was Charles Roberts, Gavin Walls and/or Milt Stegall (would he move or then retire). The team with the top O line is Saskatchewan. How would Makowsky look in BC colours? The challenge for Winnipeg is getting the coach a...

Not ready to make a call yet, but do agree with Wally Buono who said the winner will be the team with the hot QB on the day. He also didn't see any back ups in which is interesting in the Esks case. Not too surprising with the Als as they haven't given Ted White that much time this season.

[ I think what John Henry's hinting at is that we should fire Warren, Keep DD as QB and sign CP as Running Back! :lol: Just Kidding! OK.. Now there is a plan. Put Casey Printers at RB and bring back that old halfback option stuff!!! Blitz could be scheming that as we sleep tonight!!! Maybe CP could...

This is a tough call that has a lot of factors for the club to consider. I will be happy either way.

This is certainly a very sad loss for the Lions and to not see them hold this trophy. How many of you stayed for the presentation anyways? I saw it from a distance. Thanks to all of you who participated in my thread. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Gallery/2005/11/20/VCRX1142.jpg There is a really tellin...

He will be busy today dedicating this day and his term of office to JAMES GREEN who without him on the ballot would have put Jim Green in the Mayor's chair. I haven't seen that dirty trick used that well since the 1960s in Quebec when there would be like four Rene Tremblay's on the ballot to defeat ...

I got one Dickinson or Dickenson? I am confused - I have read this so many different ways including references to him at his university as recently as the past week and to his mother who I think is a State Rep to the Montana legislature. http://www.canada.com/sports/football/cfl/lions/story.html?id=...

Happy Remembrance Day to all at Lionbackers.com. Hopefully you and your families will have a moment to recall all those who have served and who serve the cause of freedom in Canada's armed forces. November 11 is not a day to memorialize war but to celebrate peace among nations and to remember the sa...

Calgary to beat Edmonton this week as the Esks get embroiled in an internal QB controversy following the great play of their back up off the bench and tossing the first TD by an Esk QB in weeks!

I like Reynolds potential.

Therefore, Roberts over Reynolds.
I agree... Reynolds is all upside from here. Roberts is proven himself over the years including consistency.

In my Coquitlam neighbourhood, the fireworks didn't really start until AFTER midnight which is annoying as it disturbs our dog and kept me awake on and off when he'd respond by growling. There didn't seem to the usual large gathering down the street at that idiotic 711 in the Westwood Plateau but th...

I'd like to see the Lions in a position to play more than QB in a game if for no other reason to mix it up and put hot D's off their game a bit. The issue for DD is likely getting over the head injury. Carravatta made a good point on this. Maybe the Lions just had him dress and go through the pre-ga...
