You're angry that Dubas hasn't made franchise altering moves in his first 6 days? (While the playoffs are still going on none the less...)

Unlike spineless and thief Harper, wasn't licking the ass of the US president. Imbecile Trump submarined NAFTA and first thing Trudeau did was sign a deal with Europe. Best thing about Trudeau is - he is rich, unlike Harper and Mulroney - who stole piles of cash from Canada - doesn't need to steal.

If they can somehow land Tavares, then absolutely offer up a Nylander for a quality D. Other than that, try and land a Doughty via FA.

I'm afraid Doughty will want big $. Based on the past, he's worth it, moving forward, I am not so sure. Would rather have JT for $9.5 than Doughty for $11

You can only get Ekblad if you severely overpay. Nylander is not enough.

I think the Leafs should target Mcdavid who they can then flip 1 for 1 for Ekblad.

Owners only have themselves to blame and to be fair, idiotic GM moves to avoid having a particular player taken.

Minny sent Haula and Tuch, Blue Jackets send Clarkson, 1st round pick and Karlsson so they didn't take someone else. Tallon lets a 30 goal scorer go.

But give him some time, he deserves that.

Its a safe bet that Panthers will not be trading Ekblad. Keep nylander, unless JT signs - then you make a move for a d-man. Might come down to keep Kadri at $4.5 for four more years or Nylander for 7 at about $6

I'm baffled by the full hate people have for Wynne.

And even more baffled by how people are comfortable with it.

What exactly has been so bad for the past four years?

Stronger economic growth than all of the G7 nations.

Lowest unemployment in 20 years.

Free tuition for people who need it.

Free prescriptions for everyone under the age of 25.

And despite what lies you have read on your Facebook feed from Ontario Proud, electricity prices are on par or better than other jurisdictions in North America (Torontonians pay less than Bostonians, New Yorkers, San Franciscans, etc.).

If you want to have a mature conversation and say you don't like her lurch to the left, fine.

"I hate the witch!" isn't an argument. Quite frankly, it's just misogynist bullcrap.

Everyone - has and is entitled to their political views - unless they invoke racial, sexist or other types of hatred.

Speaking from first hand experience - and receiving a bill from Hydro One for $14000.00 Canadian in January of 2017 - and being forced to pay it (this was a two month 60 day billing period) I find it impossible to see that this wasnt - a catch up payment for past Hydro sins. As much as I despise the Conservative party and their leaders both provincial and federal - I cannot blame them for that bill. There are several significant outrageous Hydro bills currently in the courts.

Here's a link to a CBC piece on this issue
