  1. Boourns!

    Conservative Leader John Tory said that the government was focused on "the quick PR hit" of getting legislation passed rather than focusing on the real issue, which is irresponsible dog owners and dangerous dogs in general, not just pit bulls.

    I agree with this statement 100%. Perhaps they should be leashing and muzzling the shoddy owners who teach their dogs to be vicious rather than punishing the well behaved and loving dogs that have committed no other crime than to have been born of one particular breed (including my own kind and loving pitbull cross!). :(

  2. There's a couple tix on ebay:

    US $100.00

    (Approximately C $121.52)

    Number of Tickets:2

    Section: 202 Row: 24

    Venue City: Calgary

    Venue Name: Pengrowth Saddledome

    Month: Sep, Day: 4

    Are these three in addition to the one you've already got?

  3. I'm leaving for Horning's Hideout from Calgary this Wednesday evening and I have room in my car for another person if they don't mind sharing the cost of gas.

    If you've been thinking of going but didn't have a ride, here's your last-minute chance!

    Please PM me if you're interested.

  4. Shainhouse, Great article! It definitely made me think about some of the stuff that pops up here and whether I just didn't notice it before, or if if just doesn't seem to be as big of a problem here as it appears to be in other forums.

    I was completely taken aback by the part where the Jacksonville Department of Homeland Security admited to scanning jambands.com and then making arrests before the Jam Cruise based on the info they found there. Who knew?

  5. So finally, 1 month after reaching newstands, my July issue of Relix magazine shows up in my mailbox. (I think it is my fate to be consistantly behind the times) Immediately I'm drawn to the article on pg. 45 about message boards and the controversy that surrounds them: "Are message boards a wonderful unifying medium - or a platform for hate and misinformaion?"

    It was an an interesting read and jambands.ca featured prominantly in the article with some great quotes by our own Mike Bouchard: "The website has shown me what a like-minded comunity is capable of: love, support, interest, sharing, creativity and talent. Everyone has a little bit or a lot that they share throughout."

    However, the whole point of the article was to show that these message boards can also be "a platform for hate and misinformation".

    While I do see the underside of this forum pop-up from time to time (and we do have a few shite disturbers), for the most part I find the time I spend here entertaining and informative. So I guess my question is this: Have you read the article and what do you think? Accurate or not so much?
