GFs mom tested positive 2 days ago. I had to go tested yesterday. Not fun. She had no symptoms.. Zero none. Waiting for my results. Should be today. Personally feeling a bit off. Turns out.. No corona. Thank god.

Should be easier for Trudeau and Morneau to cut the cheque.

Of course it’s a fact. But in MB, for all other groups, only the health region is mentioned - that is also a plain fact.

talking with some I kinow they can't wait to escape...several have stated they considered staying this off-season...but didn't...and are now kicking themselves

Probably due to BC pushing their bullshit over the mountains.

Unfortunately it is due to the stupidity of the general public. There was no rational reason to attack the Asian community in Canada for causing the "Wuhan" virus, yet it happened anyways (more in the states, but there were stories here). Similarly, identifying an outbreak on a Hutterite colony stigmatizes Hutterites. Saying an outbreak occurred in Brandon doesn't have the same effect, because a Brandon resident wandering around in public isn't as readily identifiable, otherwise I am sure people would crap on them too.

Unfortunately, we need reporters like Dunk who reports on the CFL first & doesn't appear to be using it as a temporary gig to becoming a Jays, Raptors or Leafs beat writer. He raises a few hackles but that is okay. I'm at the point where I don't care if we have a season or not. Clown show ownership & lack of leadership from the league along with Players who don't trust anything the CFL does is a bad mix for anything going forward seriously & to be successful. I read that the CFL upped the salaries from 33% to 50% to get the players to sign. Why the dicking around? They should have come to the table with the most honest & best proposal right from the start so as to not waste time . But that's not the CFL's way.

Trump’s Now Claiming He Got ‘Extra Points’ on Cognitive Test. ‘I'M COGNITIVELY THERE’ Haltingly repeating the phrase “person, woman, man, camera, TV” to show off his memory, the president claimed he left doctors in awe and received “extra points” on the test. Amid renewed criticism of his COVID-19 response and new controversy over his decision to sic federal forces on Democratic-led cities, President Trump on Wednesday night resurrected his story about a 2018 cognitive test he insists he got a “perfect mark” on, now claiming he also got “extra points” for a particularly impressive feat. The feat? Repeating the words “person, woman, man, camera, TV” in the right order. In recent weeks, the president has repeatedly called on former Vice President Joe Biden to take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment while bragging that he left doctors “very surprised” that he scored perfectly on the exam. Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, however, pointed out to Trump that the exam isn’t actually hard, as it is meant to test cognitive impairment. “They have a picture and it says ‘what’s that’ and it’s an elephant,” Wallace said to Trump on Sunday. Trump insisted at the time that other questions were much harder and Wallace “couldn’t answer many of the questions” while claiming he personally “answered all 35 questions correctly.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-now-claiming-he-got-extra-points-on-cognitive-test?ref=home

Tight as a drum, according to what I have been hearing. One colony is having a funeral where only members of that colony will be able to attend. Tough call to make, but at the same time really a no brainer.

It is discriminatory because it leads to stigmatization. There are 3 Hutterite colonies with Covid 19 cases in Manitoba, but some people act like there’s 100 colonies infected. I’ll probably only experience it online, as we have no reasons for essential travel and will be staying home.

Yes. And eradicate COVID-19.

As is often the case, I think it really just comes down to money, unfortunately. Having a season could provide quite a bit of positive exposure for the CFL, if done right. If the NFL isn't considering operating, it could really help get some more market share down south. I agree though that they've really dropped the ball on this right from the proposal to the Feds, and arguably even before that. As for a season, I'm also somewhat indifferent, I'd love to see them play but the health risks are too much and even then, even if they were to hypothetically allow fans to watch, it'd be 10,000 at most - all with masks sprinkled throughout the stands in a venue with 30,000 capacity. To me that's just not what I'd consider a fun "outing". Also, sure, there would be fans for Bomber games, but what about the rest of the teams? If Winnipeg is a hub, who is seriously going to watch a BC/Toronto game live in Winnipeg?

What's to understand? Bill and Ted have excellent adventures and bogus journeys.

OK, now I’m confused. And the survey says...

Another nail in Trump's coffin

I’d like to hear what all those people who were praising Ron DeSantis for such a wonderful job he was doing just a few weeks ago, say now.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/coronavirus-july-23-covid-19-1.5659882 The US also cracked 1,100 deaths for a second straight day.

its more on par with Kenora..haha,,,though thats a slap in Kenora's face

Sadly, this is what happens all too often when a ruling party sees that there is no real opposition. Mark Twain said that governments, like babies, ought to changed often, and for the same reasons.

So, no striking back either?

This statement is an egregious insult to Brandon.

What's this? The Kingsman has a prequel?

"******* Cold-Blooded’ GOP Operatives Accused of Running Ohio’s Largest Ever Bribery Scheme A cross-reference of details in Ohio’s bombshell criminal complaint involving top state Republicans reveals a scandal that stretches from Columbus to Arizona to Washington. In September 2019, Matt Borges, an Ohio lobbyist and former chairman of the state Republican Party, reached out to a canvasser working to collect petition signatures to roll back a massive bailout of Ohio’s nuclear energy industry. According to federal prosecutors, he offered the canvasser $15,000 to be a double agent and provide the opposition with inside information. The canvasser initially recoiled at the prospect, and immediately after the meeting contacted the FBI. The FBI wired him up and told him to circle back with Borges and accept the offer. According to criminal complaints handed down this week, the canvasser—referred to as Confidential Human Source 1—reconnected with Borges, got that $15,000 payment, and proceeded to provide extensive, damning details to investigators about what the U.S. attorney in Ohio’s Southern District called “likely the largest bribery [and] money-laundering scheme ever perpetrated against the people of the state of Ohio.” Borges was one of five people arrested Tuesday; another was Larry Householder, the Republican speaker of Ohio’s state house of representatives. Prosecutors accuse them of orchestrating a massive bribery and racketeering scheme to funnel money from Ohio utility FirstEnergy into the pockets of Householder, his allies, and a sprawling network of interest groups, political action committees, and consulting firms. In exchange, the feds say, Householder, Borges, and their co-conspirators spearheaded successful legislative efforts to bail out FirstEnergy’s struggling nuclear-power business to the tune of $1.5 billion. https://www.thedailybeast.com/*******-cold-blooded-gop-operatives-accused-of-running-ohios-largest-ever-bribery-scheme?ref=home

Fist-shaking-worthy type clouds?

Can we at least wait until Friday afternoon before having a cfl is cancelled meltdown?

I just really don't get the player mentality that it's not worth it for 1/3 the pay for 1/3 the season.... if that's the case it's not worth it for 100% of the season. if I were an American player I'd be stoked to get out of that disease ridden **** hole country and into a place that is in much better shape.

Hopefully things are "locked down" as much as possible with our Hutterian friends, and the daily updates will just feature "general public" cases, which should be much lower....

Back to normal at least for today.

That's good news. Now what do i do with stake, rope and tinder?

The Kelowna Mayor yesterday telling outsiders to stay away like somehow it's always vacationers who bring the Covid virus in. Like none of the local yokel teens & twenty somethings that live there don't party, all social distance & wear masks. There are 150,000 people in Kelowna. Ya think it's possible Kelowna residents who travelled also brought the virus back with them??? I hate politicians like that looking for scapegoats.

NHL could always use another blue uniform 🙄

Favourite- Greg Battle, Terrance Edwards, Bob Cameron, Eric Blount, Milt Least Favourite - I don't have a really specific reason, but Brock Ralph always bugged me.

The province wouldn't even identify the trucking company in Brandon that had the outbreak. Journalists had to dig that up.

There are 3 testing sites in the Southern Health Region and a total of 19 in the province. https://manitoba.ca/covid19/updates/testing.html#list

And yet, it's happening right now with Trump in office. Fascinating.

this isn't terribly surprising.... if for some reason the Bombers ever had to change their name... I know I'd try to snap up a bunch of gear with "Blue Bombers" written on it...

Easier said then done....just say you have 3 of 9 of the marquee QBs decide they want their report and pass bonuses or they sit it out....there is a serious drop off in those teams offensive production....tough sell.

This is weird considering I have it on good authority that people just didn't care.... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/inuit-reaction-edmonton-cfl-team-name-change-1.5658904?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar

That is how I see it as well. I understood the original intent and the point being made, but it spiralled out of control soon afterwards.
