\u0027I fully admit there are things that I owe, and I’ll pay that. But this individual is, for whatever reason, trying to ban me from a small sport\u0027

A year ago, as the core of a defensive back line for the Rumblefish, they joined the nine-member team on a trip to Costa Mesa, Calif., for the 2021 Underwater Hockey Pacific Coast Championships. Results in the pool spun from a 7-0 rout by Sebastopol Sharks to a 6-0 win over San Diego Mixed, but on land the Rumblefish shined — hotel beers, waterfront dinner, closing night pizza party.Sign up to receive the daily top stories from the National Post, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.

“Because it takes place underwater, you can’t really go and watch it, so it doesn’t get talked about,” says Maisey, 58, who also has played for decades. “It gets treated like a joke sport but the people who play it, play it quite seriously.”Article content “It’s an incredible cardio sport that is good for all ages and all sizes and builds. Being underwater is a great equalizer of gender, size and age,” says Maisey.The tribunal heard details from five members. One teammate is appointed “Major Money” and oversees the cost sharing. The Major collects all receipts for shared expenses and enters them into a spreadsheet, along with who paid them, and then calculates how much each member owes or is owed to even it out.

“It’s a good system but it’s based on trust,” says Maisey. “And if someone says, ‘no I’m not going to pay,’ you’re kind of stuck. OK, now what? He kind of dug his heels in.”

Doesn’t the court expense vastly outweigh the disputed amount? Not to mention the time? If you can afford court you can afford this rather small bill considering it was a “road trip” to California. What nonsense

Top general was warned military's COVID vaccine mandate was unnecessary, possibly illegal: memo\u0027We get lots of legal opinions out there, but we can\u0027t allow one legal opinion from stopping us from doing the right thing,\u0027 Gen. Eyre says of the briefing… Well of course. Basic human rights means no one can force or order you to inject a foreign substance into your bloodstream. 'possibly illegal' Possibly illegal? Excuse me? Nobody has ever heard of medical privacy. Not to mention you can get it whether you are vaxxed or not so how can a mandate be justified? So in other words, we don't care if it's legal, a vaccine mandate serves the PM's agenda of fear and control so we'll order the troops to do it. Legal? We don't need not stinkin' legal!

Defence chief was warned about legality of military's COVID-19 vaccine mandate: memo\u0027We get lots of legal opinions out there, but we can\u0027t allow one legal opinion from stopping us from doing the right thing,\u0027 Gen. Eyre says of the briefing… This one legal opinion stating that requiring all troops to be vaccinated against C-19 is unnecessary — and that doing so may not constitute a legal order…is wrong. Troops wouldn’t be deployable when other countries require C-19 vaccines for entry. This article is pointless. Surprise Surprise
