I've seen caged bears often...in the old days people kept them around as pets {cubs especially once the mother gets shot in the sporing bear hunt), just this very morning I had a large black bear encounter whilst walking the dog...the thing came out of the bush in a panic and ran right infront of us...a big un....something must have spooked it...needless to say, me and the dog turned around to finish the walk.

Odds are that both the 'elk' meat and bear meat come from farmed animals...the odds of it being wild game are very low indeed.

WOW! Thats alot of dough!

We gotta get through the bugs first.....mosquitoes are coming out now!....take cover!

A moose is not an elk!....you gave me my laugh for the day (thankyou). Both are different species of deer....they taste very different. A moose is a much larger animal. We usually like to add pork fat into the ground moose meat (wild game is usually very lean) to make salamis...pepperettes are more common...I remember feeding the Wolfpack lots of wild moose meat pepperettes after a game beer up one time.....the BEARMAN WAS IN THERE GOBBLING THINGS UP TOO! Moose calf meat makes the best steaks.

It has been a very cold spring....the blackflies are bad this year. I'm dealing with a lot of plumbing problems due to the very hard long winter. Life is good but still no RL here...sad.

I have never seen canned bear meat but have eaten lots of bear....I would be interested to try it. Interesting that the partial photo of the elk meat on the can is actually a moose and not an elk...makes one wonder.

I have never seen canned elk meat but have eaten lots of elk. For what is is worth I believe elk to be the finest grilled steak one can consume. It is different from eating deer venison but is a cousin to the deer....elk is better.

Added stream income always improves overall financial security...that is basic economics. You must be using the new 'Elstone' maths.

Toronto would be making money hands over foot now...the Canadian/NA TV rights would have easily covered the bills you mention. All SL clubs would be more prominent and making more coin. Ottawa would be established and making money also...expansion would be well under way. SL blew it.

No one ever suggested the RFL picking up any players contract...all that was requested was a fair portion of the central funding. If you will recall at the time Toronto committed to putting any central funding given into the travel pot for visiting teams to come to Toronto (to decrease/eliminate their travel costs): Elstone shot it down.

"I'm not convinced we have ever used a huge amount of central resources to save clubs" How about none?, how about supporting it with nothing?....which is exactly what TWP got in central funding....therein lies the rub.

Interesting....I haven't heard about heat pumps in EVs over here...do they work in -20 to -40 though?

Way too much effort to save Salford...for Toronto clearly not enough.

It could have been so much more...alot of the difficult groundwork had been done.
