I put all my tickets into the PS5 draw. #Priorities

The big problem I see out here in the sticks is that the anti-maskers have been emboldened. Buisnesses aren't enforcing their policies partly because of a lack of support from city/town councils and therefore local police as well. They are all, afraid of upsetting the fundamentalist church crowd. When the 3rd wave hits it will come from the Southern part of the province. My shot on Sunday can't come soon enough.

I don't buy that "a significant number of people want 4 down football"....bullshit. A significant number of people want the NFL. There's a difference there. It's not like they want the NFL because it's 4 downs...they want it because of the hype. People who only watch NFL aren't suddenly going to start watching the CFL because it's 4 downs. I refuse to believe that.

not a HUGE deal, but interesting......

😂

Kid is raised right.

That's friggen hilarious. Made my day.

Whoa, that's pretty toxic:

This right here is the most difficult factor, and sadly is where race works itself into the equation. WARNING TO ALL READERS: this is going to sound preachy and pertains to white privilege. If that triggers you, you're probably white and privileged! Also I acknowledge I'm super lily white and live comfortably, so this is an easy opinion for me to have (it's my...privilege?) Who generally tends to be better off almost everywhere at every point in history? White folks. Who tends to be poorer and in more dire circumstances everywhere at any point in the last 300 or so years? Colored folk. In a 300 year foot race, white folk have been given about a 250 year head start. Our neighborhoods are often comfortable and full of amenities, our schools are usually funded adequately and our streets are more or less safe enough to let our kids outside on their own. Often we inherit property or wealth that our parents inherited from their parents who possibly inherited theirs and so on down the line... whereas other communities faced myriad obstacles for generations, be it slavery, forced displacement and relocation, families broken and separated as a means of assimilation (hello residential schools), some weren't allowed to own property or businesses or grow certain crops... never mind open hatred and hostility over the color of their skin, something they can not control, hide or change even if they wanted to (Michael Jackson notwithstanding). When we say society isn't fair it's because it was designed that way. The United States abolished slavery, ghettoized black and brown folk, and made their private prisons turn profits. A few decades of brutal over-policing in underfunded and oft-neglected communities and the US can continue churning out slave labor in the 21st century with the best of them. Canada has it's checkered past, too. You should see the sixty year olds who break down in tears at the T&R dialogues over things that were happening in their own neighborhoods when they were kids, and they say they had no idea. Maybe they didn't, I don't know. Probably nobody cared. I hope the 'maybe if they had two loving parents' crowd recognizes that in our communities (within our lifetime for some of us), children were literally being taken away from their two loving parents - legally, by the government - so that they may be pacified and civilized, and that it had been happening for generations. Anthropologists of the future will not look upon us kindly. Anyways respect to all those that made it this far. Good day to yous

Because Faux News is just an entertainment network, not actual news. "Entertainment" being loosely attributed to it, as you'd have to be certifiably insane to watch that dogshit network with any regularity. FTFY And who they are? Disgraceful human beings.

So yeah, it's Holocaust Memorial Day and ****** carlson needs to double down on the white supremacy talking points... How is this even allowed on TV?

Seems like Winnipeg is about 3 weeks. Rural sites much less. Have a cousin in Carman that became eligible yesterday called and had an appointment in 40 minutes. Had to get in the car and hustle.

The UoS info is updated at a certain point in time and I suspect they were just behind. Kives was live-tweeting the update.

Maybe for some younger players. But Franklin/Mitchell are long in the tooth. Are these more of "big name" players we were told have been considering retirement? What will the league do without who ever that WR is and a career backup qb? I do love that this kinda screws with the riders though.

I read where Walters said he left the door open for Bryant Mitchell to come back if he wants.

Do it now, do it right and save us from that 3rd wave. All of our neighbors are entering their 3rd wave- we see it. We have about two to four weeks starting this past Tuesday- why squander this window of opportunity? Why wait until the ICUs fill up and the deaths start going up and the age of those with serious complications of the virus goes down? ******* madness... "Three more deaths linked to the illness were also announced on Friday, including a man in his 20s from the Northern Health Region, the province said in a news release. The province also announced 37 newly identified cases of more contagious coronavirus variants, most of which are in the Winnipeg health region." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-covid-19-update-1.5981517

I see another lockdown on the horizon, don't think that there is an appetite for it but so few have been vaccinated, the variants are becoming the main strain and cases are starting to go up which means the hospitals will fill up again

My Parents got the shot yesterday- two weeks and they can see their Grand Children...

2nd supersite to open in Winnipeg 1st week in May, long over due but at least something is being done to get more people in

and my mom is now eligible for the vaccine (and she's already scheduled for it in a little over 2 weeks)

They are stupid

Washington Post April 7, 2021 at 8:30 p.m. CDT The National Republican Congressional Committee threatened donors that it will tell former president Donald Trump that they are defectors if they opt out of giving recurring monthly funds to the campaign arm for the House GOP. After donating to the NRCC, donors are shown a yellow box with a small pre-checked box that warns: “If you UNCHECK this box, we will have to tell Trump you’re a DEFECTOR.” Left checked and the supporter will be agreeing to contribute every month. The tactic, roundly criticized by campaign finance experts as deceptive, was also employed by the Trump campaign from September until the 2020 election to shore up its dwindling coffers. Many Trump supporters who intended to donate only once were unwittingly enrolled to give weekly because they didn’t read the fine print requiring them to uncheck a box, a New York Times investigation found, resulting in credit card complaints, overdrafts and the Trump campaign refunding tens of millions of dollars to its supporters. As the network head himself described it......."the loyal opposition"

GOP talking points. This is who they are.

Electric vehicle owners will have to wait a lil bit longer as they are not burning fossil fuels for the drive thru vaccinations.

The only time I've been envious of those sheep-seducing, butter-slapping gap-toothed melonheads

Don't forget the hook on Pionk too. Jets are just hot garbage right now. Thank God Allen is having an off night cuz 14 shots is just terrible after 2 periods. Wake up and get moving.

Haha we should create an unpopular opinion font. We could all get some use out of it now and again

The right-wing extremists will fracture and implode, but not before doing a lot of damage and the real concern is whether the damage will be permanent. Newly revealed Trump administration emails show depravity and conspiracy against the country The select subcommittee in the United States House of Representatives that is now investigating how the federal government managed the country's response to the covid pandemic released emails Thursday showing top officials in the Trump administration knowingly, carefully and deliberately sabotaged public understanding of the disease. According to the Post's Dan Diamond, "The documents provide further insight into how senior Trump officials approached last year's explosion of coronavirus cases in the United States. Even as career government scientists worked to combat the virus, a cadre of Trump appointees were attempting to blunt the scientists' messages, edit their findings and equip the president with an alternate set of talking points." Diamond's story is about "political interference" in what should have been the neutral administration of public health policy in the face of a once-a-century plague. That framing of the issue will likely be adopted by the Washington pundit corps. That framing has been adopted by the House investigators, too. "Our investigation has shown that Trump Administration officials engaged in a persistent pattern of political interference in the nation's public health response to the coronavirus pandemic, overruling and bullying scientists and making harmful decisions that allowed the virus to spread more rapidly," said House Whip James Clyburn, the subcommittee chair. But while the press and investigators are right to be careful with language, the court of public opinion, which may be the only court demanding justice in the end, need not be so careful. Let's not obscure the body-count reality of what Michael Caputo and Paul Alexander have done with gauzy abstractions like "political interference." As of this writing, the covid has killed over 573,000 Americans. These men, along with others, including the former president, were engaged in crimes. The question shouldn't be whether this was "political interference." It should be whether this was homicide.

Older demographics, I bet. The older we get, the less relevant we become to advertisers & businesses. An opinion of a 30 year old would mean more than someone like myself in their 60's. Hope so.

So in all likelihood the difference between the %14 reported by the U of S and Kives%18 is the lower amount probably doesn't include the ones by indigenous communities. OR the U of S didn't have today's numbers although it said was reporting as of Friday at noon

I doubt it. The season, if we get anything, will be short and the pay won't be good. I bet these players have made the decision based on their careers outside football. They're done.

With this Third Wave powered by variants along with government restrictions & closures the training camps across the league won't be opening in mid May. So, call a news conference, make the official announcement that the season is delayed, set another target date say mid July & be done with it. How hard is that? C'mon Ambrosie get off your ******* ass you useless POS & talk to us!!!

I suspect some of these guys across the league will "unretire" if there is a season.

I would too if I hadn't already gotten my hands on one! It's a toss-up as to which one is harder to get.

Sorry, I omitted to mention the many other grifters who recognize the deluded MAGA flock....as a potential goldmine One example: Feds accuse man of scamming Trump donors out of $250,000 https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/547402-feds-charge-man-who-scammed-trump-donors-out-of-250000

This happened a couple months ago, so worth the time if you are like me and grew up on these guys.

They are terrorists.

Even dogs know...

Yeah, what a ridiculous game hockey is sometimes. Jets outplayed and woefully outshot, but a 3-1 lead.

Travis Rudolph / ALM / BLM has been moved to general discussion.

I've always considered the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials to be the most prestigious curling bonspiel there is, and by far the most difficult to win. I know the athletes would likely say the Olympics themselves because, as you said, the pomp of it all, but the Trials is by far the toughest curling bonspiel there is.

If you want to over-simplify the issue of criminality, you will miss a lot of truths. I have worked with those who have committed serious crimes, and almost all have come through horrible childhoods and adolescences. This does not justify them committing crimes, but it does underscore that unless we intervene with people who have been brutalized, we will continue to fill our courts and jails. In Holland where non-violent offenders are not sent to jails but to alternate measures, the crime rates have fallen so far that they have been closing jails. That said, there have been a few that scared the poop out of me, even in a closed setting. These few need to be incarcerated for the rest of their lives.

Jackson Jeffcoat had a great tweet this morning about the CFL needing to tell the players the season plan so that the players could make arrangements to be here and for their out of football life stuff.

In fairness to Ambrosie, he did say after the news first dropped that there would be a long stretch of silence. There won't be any news for a long time.
