I guess at this point it's publicity for the donair shops .... plus its the dog days of summer in the news business.

Now I want to see the ad so I can understand the connection between cannabis and donairs in 30 seconds.

I saw the news story, the tail end of it anyways and I think Prime Time is out of Halifax and they are trying to get it. When/if they do they will remove the lettuce from the costume as lettuce on a Halifax donair is blasphemous.

Or just ignore him like the rest of the noise that comes from that direction.

Every ####ing year, how many pasty old white ####ers who have nothing better to do but hunch around the Oilers and breathe heavily come out and declare it ThE OiLArZ YeAr, as if them announcing it for the umpteenth time will make any damn difference on the disappointing (and often funny) outcome to follow.

Your declarations are but a fart in the wind.

The donair costume is now over $16,000 so the government actually made money off it. Maybe they should now make a hamburger and pizza costume since those markets are much bigger than donairs.

For the people bidding... it's just got to be a sex thing right?

It's two restaurants bidding against each other. One from Halifax that claims to be where the donair was introduced in Canada, and an Alberta restaurant that wants it to stay here and not got back East. They said they will work with the Government to add a charitable element since the bidding is going so high.

The restaurants are Blowers and Grafton (chain) and King of Donair

Can we elect the Donair costume as Premier of our Province?

I think a half-eaten Donair would still do a better job than both of Smith and Trudeau.

They have BC and Winnipeg for their next two games. Hopefully 0-9 is in the cards, halfway to the perfect season.

As much as we talk about how bad the edmonton QB pool is. That offense is just not very well designed, and you can see where everything is going due to a lack of motion pre snap.
