Article contentAMERICAN STAR POWER<\/p>\n

I am tired of seeing the same story repeat itself with Ottawa Senators. Losing star players for close to nothing and then telling fans that what they picked up will be just as good.<\/p>\n

Article content<\/p>\n

It is now more clear than ever that the gap is getting bigger between American teams and Canadian teams. The money is all in the States and so are the star players.<\/p>\n

Good luck, Sens. I\u2019ll keep watching.<\/p>\n

NOT BUYING EVEN SPLIT<\/p>\n

I have always taken polls with a grain of salt, knowing that it\u2019s not just how the question is asked, but to whom, when and where.<\/p>\n

This latest poll by Nanos Research is a great example. It says that there is an even split between those who approve of the high-speed rail project and those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Not for one bloody second do I believe this is true, and the pollsters should be ashamed of themselves for coming up with these results.<\/p>\n

Where did you take this poll, outside of the train stations in Montreal and Toronto?<\/p>\n

ISN\u2019T THAT RICH<\/p>\n

Re: Federal memo considers legal action against social media posting false info, online, July 3<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry, but I couldn\u2019t help but laugh while reading the above article. The biggest purveyor of \u201cfalse and misleading information\u201d is the Liberal government. These are the people who are going to determine what is or isn\u2019t misinformation? Well, isn\u2019t that rich.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the public trust won\u2019t be restored until we have a government that cares about Canada and Canadians, and that certainly isn\u2019t the one that we\u2019ve had for the last 11 years.<\/p>\n
