-Everybody in Alberta should get over the NEP. It was over 30 years ago. Only about 1/4 of us were alive/living here when it was brought in anyways.

-If he hadn't of made at least two dumb political moves, Joe Clark would have been a pretty good PM (But he was a pretty good Foreign Affairs minister)

Unpopular you say?

Wine just might be better than beer

Atheists can be as annoying as religious nuts

Nightclubs are typically for d-bags

NFL is probably better than the NHL

I like most of the NHL play by play guys that we hear on a regular basis- Mark Lee might be my favorite

I think the only reason they're held to such a high regard is Cobain off'd himself. Arguably same with the Beatles and Lennon.

I am of the opinion that it takes you twenty minutes (no more, no less) to get from anywhere in airdrie to anywhere in calgary (that would include spruce meadows)

Real football is played with a round ball and uses the foot.

ALL football leagues are boring as hell and I really don't care to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday. Even for the commercials. But I will.

As mentioned previously, I think Star Wars, Star Trek, and LOTR suck.

Tim Horton's coffee is great.

I enjoy going to the symphony.

Also, I like Rob Kerr's play by play, although he is no Dean Brown.

If you don't live in a rural area or work in the trades, you probably don't need to drive a truck.

Cilantro and parsley taste like soap.

Pink burgers are usually perfectly safe.

Five pin bowling is more challenging and strategic, and, thus, more fun than ten pin bowling.

CFL rules are better than NFL rules.

The hockey coverage in Canada is way over the top (and i like hockey) - more soccer!

Duck Dynasty is fantastic

McMahon needs a replacement before the Saddledome

Hole - Celebrity Skin is a great album.

If you live in Canada, you need to speak/read/write English or French before you move here, no exception.

CFL rules ruin football, the big field makes for sandlot football that requires no timing. It also ensures the worst sightlines possible in the stands.

No yards rule (instead of fair catch) hardwire that there wont be any decent returns (way less than the NFL)

CFL officials should be officiating 1 to 2 levels below pro

CFL Playbooks are very thin and simple

The vast majority of the fans in the stands at CFL games know virtually nothing about the sport

CFL X's and O's are largely about trying to hide the Canadians

And yes McMahon needs a replacement before the dome
