That was you in the wife beater i believe. 

 

A girl I know got service dog status assigned to her 6 pound purse dog.  She can now bring the little fucker into restaurants, onto aircraft, etc.  A couple places tried to refuse, until she produced documentation.  lol

Wait...... didn't Poncho look over that Polaris flower planter to buy, if memory serves? 

The Rottweilers, the Polaris hull in the yard, washer/dryer, wife beater with spaghetti stains......  it all fits. 

C'mon...... aren't Poos of comparable vintage worth at least $900?

Illegal to discriminate.  That's like saying "No Asians".

Wow we all figured you would come back with another Jizzle-Doo love story.  Your short replies are noted...lol...butthurt noted.   Lol

You're talking about a different company.  :)

Where does the $700 million government grant come in?

Does that fall under would have lost almost $600 million?

I don’t follow Bombardier to close and will never buy from a company that screws Canadians who have to bail it out.  We should never pay more for a snowmobile in Canada then our USA counterparts.  But rape and pillage is Bombardier moto.

Who's taking their mistake personally?  Lol   No, I posted all the bullet points, and provided the link.  Anyway, come back when you learn how to read a financial report.

In any case, I find it most interesting that there is "growth" in the PWC industry.

Yes...and the part I posted is right in the link you posted but you conveniently posted the parts you like...but the results clearly state:

Revenues from Seasonal Products decreased by $46.2 million, or 9.4%, to $443.3 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2018, compared with $489.5 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2017. The decrease was driven by a lower volume of snowmobiles sold resulting from the late introduction of the REV Gen4 platform last year and from an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation of $3 million. The decrease was partially offset by a higher volume of PWC sold due to industry growth.

I think all sled manufacturers took a beating last year which was my point...but you missed it again and took it personal....

Well, as long as you're done.  But the courts aren't, yet.

its not worth talking about, sad all around

Fact is all the other cops were putting their guns away and not unloading while 1 cop decided to unload, he was raged.

courts are done with  this and so am I 

Harry said it best. 

Saw what?  A snippet of video, yes.  Did you see a video of him brandishing the knife near the infant with his pecker out?  No, you did not. 

Yeah, death is a bit harsh.  And that's probably why most of us don't get on a streetcar high, with a weapon, and our dicks out.  Even Pete Z wouldn't go that far. 

Good way to get shot. 

Cops don't only use force "after" he hurts someone.  They are trained to stop threats, pre-emptively.   And that's what we want.  Maybe Forcillo made mistakes, and the court/jury agreed.  So be it. 

In any case, the extra one year of sentence for using a "restricted" firearm in the shooting is ludicrous for an on-duty police officer; that is his service firearm.  That legislation was created for thugs.  All that crap does, is scare other officers from ever using their service weapon when it's warranted.

we all saw it  

Lucky the kid didn't kill a pile of people on the street car, but he didn't hurt anyone as far as I know.  Death is a bit harsh.

 

 

Agreed.... plus, the cop on Yonge could see the prick was holding a cellphone and not a firearm (he stated so).  However, it is interesting that when he repeatedly reached into his pocket, the cop still refrained. 

In any case, the 2 situations are not comparable, despite liberal MSM's efforts to do so.  They keep using terms like "de-escalation" when it is not warranted.  There was nothing to de-escalate at that point - the guy was brandishing a cellphone.

There is more to the Lam story and why there was no shot then the public knows.....

Pretty sure the reason, was that he was brandishing a weapon (and had brought it dangerously close to an infant just prior), had his pecker out, and was acting like the drugged loon he was.

I'm not saying he should/shouldn't have..... but look at the facts.

This cop was angry he unloaded on the kid for no reason. the other cops around him didn't feel the same threat or they would have unloaded too.

Jail will be good for him

Was listening to a radio show yesterday, talking about Millennials and real estate.  They can't afford houses, so are living at home until they're 30+.

I kinda laughed.  I saved and scrimped and fully renovated houses, flipped bikes, etc.  in my spare time just to get into the market.  Not a dime from my parents.  The sense of entitlement today confounds me.  Why can't they just get off their asses like we did?  Houses were expensive then, in relative terms, too.  I was tempted to call in and mention that not everyone should/will own real estate in Toronto.... market forces are just that.  Snowflakes, whiners, millennials..... yikes. 

Cool story.....  but incorrect.  Q1 has not been announced yet.  That is Q4 from the previous RY.   Better leave this one to the adults.  lol

Anyway, good to see Poo turning a profit, after net losses the previous year; competition is good for all. 

Here are the real numbers from last RY (including Q4) for BRP.  Record revenue of 4.5 billion.  Profit of 115 mil even with the new product introductions.  Respectable, but EPS could/should be better.  But $15-$52 in 3 years on Doo-T ain't too bad for us little folk....

But the real question is...... how are they even making money with all those 850 failures?
