RE: Metallica's Song Say It All

Sad but true!

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

That should be easy!

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

What do you think?

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

Stay safe Moose! Protect those Kiwi's

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

Never thought of paying for a site. I like how CS is an interactive site. I heard there were just as many scammers on paid sites as there are free ones.

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

LOL! That about sums it up.

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

@Jono Lovely pic. We're lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

You live with a Leaf fan? Poor you

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

Wow. Missed your post before. What a vid.

Just in BC there are approx. 250 active fires. Total so far nearly 1100 fires. Total this time last year nearly 500. Probably going to be the worst fire season ever.

Thanks to the firefighters and military for all they do. Lots of people are sending good wishes to the firefighters online. They read the messages which keeps morale up.

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

I know. I love it when we beat the US at anything!

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

Yes, we're doing good. Leading the way so far!

Special congrats to the Canadian women's rugby team for winning Gold against the US 55-7! And to the men who also won gold against Argentina!

RE: " The Where are the Canadians Thread?"

I'm here!

@Jono I have family on the coast and visit there all the time. (I was born and raised in PR). The ash was terrible there and in Van. too. Two weekends ago the smoke was so bad even where I am. I had a headache from it. The air quality was worse than Beiging! I'm glad things have settled down a little bit with lower temps and a bit of rain. Now Western Provinces have more help with Ontario fire fighters and some Aussies and New Zealanders and Sask has the military as well. And I just read now that guys from Mexico are helping in Alberta too.

With global warming they said our fire seasons going to be longer as they're starting earlier now. We had hardly any snow pack or much rain the last few months and now we have warmer temps. Such a change from 30 years ago. I remember when I was a kid it was a big deal to hit 30 degrees! This last heatwave was terrible. I think more people in the Lower Mainland will start building AC in their homes! We've had such nice warm weather for so long that in June to me it actually felt like Aug. At least it will feel like we've had a long summer!

The one thing with the smoke, it sure made some beautiful pics. Here are some of Vancouver, the Island and Sunshine Coast. It was so weird to see bright beautiful colours mid day. Then some days it was so dull and foggy like winter.

@Pedal I've thought of starting a hockey thread to get people talking but doubt that would even draw people!

RE: Question for women only.

The guy has no clue 9" is a good size? Yeah right! Obviously desperately seeking an ego boost. Probably exaggerating too!

RE: CANADA WINS GOLD

Yeah baby!

I think we got a bit over confident in the 2nd! The 3rd was a nail biter though.

I had a feeling we were going to do it this year. I'm surprised how good Domi is. Much better than his Dad.

Russia hasn't been doing well in recent Olympics and now the Juniors. They must hate it when we win.

@Jono

It's probably because you need to take the 's' out of the link after http. Here you go....

RE: Funny Xmas Songs and Pics.

Have a nice Xmas hosers!

RE: Funny Xmas Songs and Pics.

Merry Xmas!

RIP Jean Béliveau

@Kenn Love your puppy! So cute!

RIP Jean Béliveau

They are, it's sad.

I guess there are no Habs fans here! The forums are very quiet. No one seems to wanna chat. Not enough of us I guess.

RIP Jean Béliveau

A great hockey icon and a class act.



What a sad time for the hockey world recently and Gordie Howe isn't doing well either.

RE: Has "Black Friday" made it to your country?

As the years go on our sales will probably get better.

RE: Has "Black Friday" made it to your country?

Unfortunately yes. It started last year. But they do it as they'd rather Canadians spend money at home than across the border. Have to admit it's nice to hit a good sale when you're Xmas shopping. I don't believe our sales are as good as the US though. Our big 'Black Friday' day is really Boxing Day which is a holiday here.

Canucks Tribute to Pat Quinn

He will be missed!

Canucks Tribute to Pat Quinn

@Tappintoes I agree. I can't believe he's gone. I noticed over the last year he wasn't looking well but never heard anything about his illness. He didn't want any hospital visitors but the night he died he did let Trevor Linden and Kirk Maclean see him. It's great in the video to see the passing of the torch to others esp Linden. When the Canucks anthem singer sang Danny Boy it was so touching. Never seen a tribute by the Canucks quite like that.

@Pedalguy He was a tough guy but a teddy bear inside and a very loyal man. What a hit on Orr!

@Stringman Thanks for the vid!

After the game since he was a rookie it was his responsibility to buy the beer and sneak it on the bus. This explains what happened when he walked in.



I read online Pat said "being Irish saved my life."

And from the Canucks playing the Bruins in the final in 2011 I know the Boston fans can be quite nasty.
