Quote curious if Americans prefer Canadian news stations more than i think... I like it because it’s on late at night. I’m usually busy at 6 o’clock when our national news is on. Also, I think those of us who live on the border enjoy viewing how our Northern neighbors perceive us. Plus, they’re fair and balanced, I think. .

I think Canadian news is a little more bland and neutral than the US currently..... not boasting or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you’ve said it right - I prefer bland and neutral to CNN’s blatant liberalism, FOX’s flagrant ‘Fair and Balanced’ conservatism, and everyone else's ridiculous sensationalism. As always, JMHO. .

I lean a little towards the FOX side, a red tory Canadian is conservative on $$ and a little soft on social issues, not intending a PPP discussion here, I'm already well established over there...

Yes, my bad. I’m a card carrying member of the RNC and the NRA, but we’ll keep that stuff on PPP, where it belongs. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Love the over for the B’s Leafs. Should be lots of whistles, an energized Matthews and company against a banged up Bruins D. Muzzin is the only physical Leaf left without Kadri. Anderson can’t keep playing at the level he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The Bs are a tricky opponent, they carefully parse out the games when they want to try and then hit you with brutal force and easily win and then they come out with a reenactment of Ice Capades and don't seem to care all that much. Against the Canucks they pulled the ultimate and possumed away the 3 games in Vancouver and tried for the 3 in Boston, losing by one when they yawned and clotheslining when they tried then came out and knocked the living pus out of Vancouver, who thought it was easy pickings..... to take the Cup.
