August 26, 201610 yr Just another Canadian question. Why a 6:07pm start time? I see 6:10, 7:10, 6:05, 7:05, etc. on a regular basis. Is it their national anthem that makes the start time seem irregular? Just curious.Maybe just because they're used to it for hockey. I recall most college and NHL hockey games starting at 7:07, 7:37, etc.
August 26, 201610 yr I am sure you do miss Baywatch! It was a show you could have on without the sound, and not miss any of the plot! You can say that again!
August 26, 201610 yr Does Canada have State Fairs? Or in their case, Province Fairs?Strikes me as more of a 'Fish Fry' kinda place.
August 26, 201610 yr This video may be the most Canadian thing I've ever seen. North, do I need to ask if you have goalie equipment??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9BlJ6gfGNAYes I do....but my goalie stick is a Warrior....so that can't be me....heh, heh. Russell MB?......probably the Fleury's.

August 26, 201610 yr Strikes me as more of a 'Fish Fry' kinda place. You mean a shore lunch, I think.
August 26, 201610 yr Maybe just because they're used to it for hockey. I recall most college and NHL hockey games starting at 7:07, 7:37, etc.Hockey games here typically start at 7:00, well, that's the posted time, it's really 7:15 to allow a beer line buffer.
August 26, 201610 yr Does Canada have State Fairs? Or in their case, Province Fairs?No, it's more a small town thing, Town fairs are very popular all across the country. I think the best one around these parts is the Morden Corn and Apple Festival, those Mennonites do it up right!
August 26, 201610 yr Of course, as the well known TD bearer of bad news, we all know that the Polar Bears are pretty much fighting for their lives, yes?Sad but true Craig, although they are not on the threatened for extinction list, and hopefully won't be anytime soon. There is a lot being done in the North to protect Polar Bears from further threat, unfortunately the biggest threat to their widespread range is climate change.

There is a lot being done in the North to protect Polar Bears from further threat, unfortunately the biggest threat to their widespread range is climate change.Those poor bears are 'hooped,' wouldn't you say?
August 26, 201610 yr You can say that again! Your astute comment seems to have gone unnoticed by all but the most astute thread participant! Edited August 26, 201610 yr by Platoon
August 26, 201610 yr Tonight's lineup: DozierGrossmanPlouffeSanoKepler PolancoEscobarSuzukiRosario............ night after night and day after day it went on and on.........
August 26, 201610 yr Those poor bears are 'hooped,' wouldn't you say?Hopefully not, although some adaptation may be a requirement.
August 26, 201610 yr Is Liriano Toronto's #5 starter? Because I'm pretty sure he'd be our #2, and that makes my head hurt.
August 26, 201610 yr Cause it was in Bobcaygeon, where I saw the constellationsReveal themselves one star at a time
August 26, 201610 yr Sad but true Craig, although they are not on the threatened for extinction list, and hopefully won't be anytime soon. There is a lot being done in the North to protect Polar Bears from further threat, unfortunately the biggest threat to their widespread range is climate change.My understanding is that they are being driven south to find food in sufficient number that the nanulak (polar/grizzly hybrids) population has become more noticeable.
August 26, 201610 yr ............ night after night and day after day it went on and on.........Complain about the batting order/lineup after they fix the pitching. Until then it's not a big deal, imo.
August 26, 201610 yr Whether you like Drake's music or not, he's probably the most well known right now.....As for Rush, let's just say that their appeal is not universal, though I like their music.....there are days I love Arcade Fire, then I hear the same sound over and over, and think "this is a BIT much". Having just looked up Canadian rock band lists on line, I'm not sure who my favourite* would be. Of the soloists, I think I only have owned Alanis Morrissette music.....I hear a lot of recent Bieber stuff when my 19 year old has control over the car music, he knows how to do hooks. Neil Young is probably the best, most importanat, along with Joni Mitchell. I do like Dianna Krall.... * I believe that is the correct spelling for this topic.Vancouvinians The Be Good Tanya's first album "Blue Train" is a great album.
August 26, 201610 yr Pat Dean getting mashed by major league hitters? Who would've guessed? Edited August 26, 201610 yr by S.
August 26, 201610 yr Just now got caught up on the thread. I am astounded that nobody mentioned the first Canada's band. Here's the title track from my favourite of their albums.
August 26, 201610 yr Plouffe 4 for 6 with 3 homers against Liriano just amazing!He can't handle the Plouffe.
August 26, 201610 yr Are we allowed to forfeit the remainder of the season, take the #1 draft pick, and take an extra long offseason to replace 95% of the front office/coaches from MLB all the way down through the minors?
August 26, 201610 yr And Dean implodes in the 2nd inning. Perhaps the Twins are challenging their 9 game losing streak - after today's likely loss, that'll be 8 in a row.
