Poor Bob. I wonder how many times his picture has been cursed today?
:)

Uh-oh....guess what floats, Bob? :)

This is why the banks love fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs. They're already bent over with their pants down around their ankles. :)

Bob, I just noticed that the text in bold contains an error. Hal Bond discussed the Trillium/Thorvardson situation with me at the Joe Pochmursky Memorial Tournament in St. Catharines in April of...

I'm not sure what you mean. I mentioned two or three things in my post to you. To which one are you referring?

As you know, that wouldn't be appropriate without a lengthy investigation and debate. I am, however, pointing out that the CFC has criteria for what constitutes a provincial association that is...

I think I understand what Mikhail is saying. Here's what the CFC's Handbook says about provincial associations in the 'Definitions' section:



I think Mikhail is saying that the OCA has failed...

You have forgotten that biases and conflicts of interest don't exist within the CFC family. :D

Bob, I saw your post elsewhere in the thread indicating that this motion was defeated but, since the matter may come up again in an amended form, I do have a couple of questions:

1. Why can't the...

Haven't been able to access it since earlier in the week.

Odd how all the discussion stopped the moment someone asked for the facts.
:)

Yes, I know he's not on the executive but, as a governor, he does represent the CFC. And yes, I agree that Mr. Barron should apologize to Ms. Jin, too.

Well, with the benefit of hindsight, I think that the CFC's position with respect to what constituted an extraordinary circumstance was the original mistake. The matter called for more careful...

Seems to me that the principle should call for focusing on the children involved rather than wasting valuable time with the usual one group of 'adults' trying to put the screws to another group of...

What the hell is this b.s.?? Now we have a supposedly responsible governor of the CFC: (a) insulting Mike Egorov for going to bat for a talented little girl who in any other year of the past decade...

Hey Dave, wanna grab a beer and a sandwich after the game on Saturday?

Sorry, Mikhail, but Kerry's right. It's been almost 10 years since I was a governor. If I could vote, I would vote to allow the young lady to attend the WYCC. I hope your efforts are successful.
...

Good ideas, Kerry. You've got my vote!! :D

Yes, I think so too, Hal. Shame on the executive!

I doubt that any human has every devised a set of rules that could fairly take into account all possible variables or exigencies. Changing...

Perhaps the executive team at the CFC needs to take some lessons from the AICF on how to eat crow.

This statement seems...

Hi Bob. If Ken leaks information about online meetings, shall we refer to him as New Brunswicki Leaks? :confused:

Seriously, the more I think about this the more I'm inclined to agree that "real...

Right on the mark. Thanks, Ken.

Good find, Ken. How do you think Ed Broadbent would define 'conflicts of interest'? :)

Hasn't it always been this way though? I don't understand the urgent need to change the system now. If your VCC rating is a reasonable reflection of your playing strength, and if you should lose to...

A bit of perspective: 40 years ago, when I was in university, a student membership at the Y cost $30 per year.
