Well i too would like my full salary to work 1/3 of the time, but the world doesn't work like that.

How fantastic is it that we have beaten the Riders in their barn the past two playoffs?

Totally agree..

Maybe a return to Walter Reed coming up shortly

26 years ago today... What a bloody performance.

Mencken was perhaps ahead of his time.

In other words, business as usual in the Trump administration.

You know who care about the CFL in Toronto and a Vancouver? TSN....if you don’t think that revenue in that TV deal is predicated on having teams in those markets you are mistaken. Hate those teams all you want that’s the marketing reality of the situation.

Not saying that Albertans aren't acting poorly because they are but you do realize that as of today (Monday), Canada has 27, 649 cases and that 25,082 were in Quebec right? Let's be honest, Albertans are acting stupidly AND Quebec has handled Covid poorly.

Israeli Data Show School Openings Were a Disaster Of 1,400 Israelis diagnosed with COVID-19 last month, 657 (47 percent) were infected in schools. Now 2,026 students, teachers, and staff have it, and 28,147 are quarantined. https://www.thedailybeast.com/israeli-data-show-school-openings-were-a-disaster-that-wiped-out-lockdown-gains?ref=home

Some raw data to chew on, courtesy of worldometers.com: USA cases - Jan. 21 - first case Apr. 10 - 500,000 (80 days) Apr. 27 - 1,000,000 (17 days) (97 days for first 1,000,000) May 16 - 1,500,000 (19 days) Jun. 7 - 2,000,000 (22 days) (41 days for next 1,000,000) Jun 25 - 2,500,000 (18 days) Jul. 6 - 3,000,000 (11 days) (29 days for next 1,000,000) Jul. 14 - 3,500,000 (8 days) (on pace for 16 days for next 1,000,000 based on the last 7 days average) USA deaths - Feb. 29 - first death Apr. 4 - 10,000 (35 days) Apr. 9 - 20,000 (5 days) Apr. 14 - 30,000 (5 days) Apr. 18 - 40,000 (4 days) Apr. 23 - 50,000 (5 days) Apr. 28 - 60,000 (5 days) May 4 - 70,000 (6 days) May 8 - 80,000 (4 days) May 15 - 90,000 (7 days) May 23 - 100,000 (8 days) Jun. 2 - 110,000 (10 days) Jun. 13 - 120,000 (11 days) Jun. 30 - 130,000 (17 days) Jul. 13 end of day - 138,247 (based on the last 7 day average of 750 cases per day, will hit 140,000 Jul. 16 or 16 days later; based on last 2 day average of 430 cases per day, will hit it Jul. 17) Deaths always lag behind cases. Waiting to see if death rate will spike due to capacity in ICUs as is being reported in many states, or if treatments have improved. But some commenters who said it looked like the US just up and quit trying to protect against the virus as July hit may be on to something.

You mostly come across as pretty intelligent and while you're not necessarily coming across as racist in this thread, you're most surely coming across as ignorant. I can't say I understand your acting obtuse here; I can only speculate boredom. I think you know full well what the correct term is, politically or otherwise. A person from what's known presently as The Republic of India or whose ancestors are from that region is an Indian. Full stop. A person of First Nations descent/heritage from this continent is not an Indian in any way, shape, or form. That exonym applied by European explorers several hundred years ago is neither accurate nor appropriate; it never was. Its application is completely ignorant. That shovel of yours must be getting pretty dull at this point, man.

And, coincidentally, Carlson’s going on a 4 day vacation at the same time.. Hmm.

“Making that decision and pulling the trigger to come up to Winnipeg right away, just trusting my gut and my instincts, it really paid off. I wouldn’t be in this position now had it not been for making that decision.” Chris Streveler https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/07/13/signing-winnipeg-best-move-ever-made/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter 👁‍🗨I’ve finished re-watching our playoff run of 2019 and I can’t believe what an impact Chis Streveler made on the physical side of the ball as well as to the psyche of all his teammates.As thrilling as it was to see his growth and presence on our team, as a fan, I cannot put into words the sheer excitement he exuded every time he touched the ball. You could see it in his body language and mannerism. And, you could see it in his teammates. He spread that enthusiasm throughout the roster.If we never see him again, we can look back on the time he was with us, and be thankful, because he was ours.Grey Cup 2019. Remembered always!

The term East Indian is ignorant. There's no East India; there's just India. Why are indigenous people in Canada still called Indians? It's simple: a history of ignorance. They're exonyms based on historical events from a long, long time ago. Is it a racist term? I guess that's up for debate*. Maybe racially insensitive is a better term...? Who am I to say. But there's no question it's ignorant - and certainly inappropriate when taking today's sociocultural worldview into consideration. * it isn't my say one way or the other but I think there's a case to be made for those who would deem it as racist

Totally incoherent seems like a massive understatement.

Fun fact: The New England Patriots trademarked the phrases "19-0" and "Perfect season" before playing (and losing) the 2008 Superbowl.

The Count has a new gig, see licking Trump's boots has it's privileges.

The only thing better is our Grey Cup win.

Any sport that is operating in a so called “Bubble” will still have contact with people from outside that bubble. It is an illusion if you don’t think the virus will not infect these bubbles. The other illusion is the belief that you can lock these players away for a sustained period of time and not have issues with players going over the wall or sneaking outsiders in. It doesn’t take a major breech but a few small cracks for the virus to start to spread.

You're missing the entire point and now doubling down in a wounded 'you called me a racist- I don't see colour' persona and then saying 'well if we were changing the Indian Act oh then I would be on your side'... ha that's rich... what a weak move. Once again, Indian and Eskimo have not been the 'common names' since the 1980s/90s... there's no excuse for you not to understand that. The whole point of the issue is that Inuit is the Inuktitut word for their people, Indigenous is the word that First Nations cultures chose to use... not names that were labels - with derogatory connotations - given to them by other cultures. No one is calling you racist but your ignorance does unfortunately highlight the systemic racism that people are currently campaigning against. You don't mean to be racist - and claim to just be being fair - yet your continued use of these terms does hurt and offend people in these cultures. The amount of effort for you to educate yourself and use Inuk instead of Eskimo for example - is about zero - no impact on your life whatsoever. Yet it demonstrates a basic respect for another culture that becomes a part of slowly changing society. Your unwillingness to even consider that says a lot more than you realize.

I remember going to the game with my Dad and it was like watching a video game.... every huge long bomb connected that night.

To lighten up the mood of this thread... whenever I hear Eskimo I always think of this old Mad TV bit....

A small sample of the questions on the E.E. survey...

Here's the thing: all of that in bold is at the heart of the issue. And it doesn't make your position right, acceptable, or respectful - at all. "That's just the way it is and the way it's been for ages and the majority of people would agree with me" is a terrible way to look at this and a really archaic attitude to have. An exonym applied from a position of pure ignorance centuries ago has led to these ongoing symptoms, including the very legal and legislative framework that has ruled over and caused immeasurable hardship to generations of indigenous people. How is perpetuating such a mistake in any way defensible, much less conducive to your supposed desire to get people to think for themselves? If you want others to think for themselves as you're saying, you must practice what you preach. Think for yourself and understand what's incorrect and disrespectful with this exonym as it pertains to the indigenous populations here in Canada. Dying on a hill of historical ignorance doesn't strengthen your position, much in the same way throwing around numbers pulled ostensibly out of thin air doesn't. If 90% of Canadians do in fact share the same view as you, then we're worse off in this country than I thought. I sincerely believe that isn't the case, though. I think Canada's made considerable progress but there's still so much room for improvement as far as reconciliation goes with our First Nations. This issue has very little to do with blindly following the media or politicians, unless you think being respectful of others is just somehow without merit. It's about putting an end to erroneous labels fuelled by a history of ignorance and racial insensitivity.

A major no to this! DO NOT open that border up until they get their **** together.... We have flattened the curve, I don't want anyone from THE global COVID-19 hotspot to cross freely here.

All the state of emergency does is give them power to do certain things they wouldn't otherwise have. Makes sense to me to keep it going until this whole thing is over.

And to add to that ^^^^ Millions go back into lockdown around the world-Cities and states on several continents reimpose restrictions as cases surge again-France awards health workers pay rises worth €8bn (£7.2bn; $9bn) after a series of protests-The number of confirmed global infections since the outbreak began passes 13m-In England, face masks will be compulsory in shops from 24 July-The UK could see about 120,000 new coronavirus deaths in a second wave of infections this winter-Singapore's economy plunges by 41% compared to the previous quarter-Hong Kong Disneyland to close less than a month after reopening, as the city reimposes distancing ruleshttps://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-53399539?at_custom1=[post+type]&at_custom2=twitter&at_custom3=%40BBCWorld&at_campaign=64&at_medium=custom7&at_custom4=1D78C218-C5A6-11EA-8B91-DC7A4D484DA4

I hope this vile, bigoted, hateful turd catches not one fish. **** him.

Looks like Trump's favourite niece, you know the "stacked" one can sing like a bird about her book if she wants to.

Not sure what you were watching, but I remember being rather impressed with the amount of people wearing masks during those protest. The only place where I saw a smattering of poeple in the protest not wearing masks, was on fox news.

And mercury poisoning. But those aren't social media issues worth discussing. Federal government knows the issues & has done nothing at Grassy Narrows for decades. I've never seen any outrage about that over here but a team name change??? Well, look at the anger. The oppression. Real world problems like mercury poisoning? Ignore, ignore. Name change for a team that doesn't offend everyone in the Inuit community? Let's go to war.

More like "Little Alabama".

At this point he is just opens his mouth crap comes out and his base laps it up, while the rest of America and the World laugh at his stupidity and ignorance

Wonder if the feds will rename the Indian Act ?

people who hold racist beliefs have a hard time accepting that those beliefs are racist sometimes.

I do feel sorry for you, CBC has a massive agenda so it's exactly the most reliable source of world news.

I'd also point out that changing racist team names is not anything new, this list highlights name changes as far back as 1935.. https://www.businessinsider.com/offensive-sports-team-names-and-how-they-came-about-2020-2 As language and norms change and evolve, there is no reason to keep racist sports names because of history. Imagine if the names on this list were never changed. The same will be said of the names we are only starting to change now.

DYK We’ve drafted a kicker who can him ‘em from 70 yards...

Stupidity does not confer invulnerability.

He didn’t go on a homophobic rant. He literally said that he doesn’t support gay marriage. He didn’t say that he hates gay people or anything derogatory towards them. Not to mention that gay marriage is still relatively new and that many people grew up in religious households where that is not supported. Someone should not be lynched for having a different view than you or I. We should focus on educating people on why that thought is considered inappropriate. Instead, we resort to calling the person a bigot and demand they lose their job. People participating in cancel culture as the ones who are saying we need to be tolerant of everyone’s views. Yet at the same time, are also the first ones to call a person a piece of **** on social media and not engage in any sort of discussion with them. I just think that educating and reasoning is a better option than automatically declaring that the person is garbage.
