We need something like 130000 additional first doses to be done. I’m not sure there are that many on the fence to be swayed to do the right thing. Some personal good news, I have a funky new QR code on my phone and after some allergy issues my wife has been cleared for her second dose.

Open question: Would you be in favour or against the requirement of needing to prove your vaccination status to be allowed entry into the stadium?

It's amazing how close that guy came to leading the PCs. Sad and scary where their base is.

Booked 2nd shot for July 12th will be ready for kick off

I think it's rather naive that some seem to think the dems don't know whats going on. They know. This is who they are.

I’m not sure we will ever hit the 80/75 target. Sad to think there are over 200 000 whackadoos that won’t get the shot but I am beginning to wonder… The good news is 4300 first dose appointments were made the day the Lotto Vax was announced.

sternly worded letter pending.

All little less talk and a little more action.

I am of the opinion - that Bill Gates needs to make better grass seed choices.

In Germany during the Nazi era, when they were rounding up Jews ( they had already done that with gays, the physically disabled and the mentally ill), they managed to find Jews who supported this, because, a) they were hoping to be eaten last and b) they just could not believe what was coming, even though Hitler laid out his agenda in Mein Kampf. I think many Americans, Democrats and Republicans cannot conceive that a fascist dictatorship could actually come to power in America. There will be more than Democrats who will suffer: unions, gays, environmentalists, Muslims, Semites, Hispanics, Jews, Asians, blacks, and the "wrong kind" of Christians.

I don't think Democrats understand WHAT they are dealing with. Trump was never the cause of their problems, he is a symptom. He's the bad lungs of Covid that can kill you but there's a virus that's really the cause. They are a society that doesn't care for each other or for common decency . A society that accepts the shooting deaths of children in the name of personal rights. That jails more people( mostly people ofcolour) than any other western country yet allowed rich white people to destroy the economy with a known scam in 2008 with no punishment. A rich country that is 32nd to 35th in life expectancy. I could go on but these issues haven't sprung up with Trump. He just embraced the scummy dirty part of that country openly and more than any other leader. The only politician that really embraced real change in that country was Bernie Sanders . But the Democrats wouldn't accept him or support real change. I truly believe they are pooched.

Ed philion and his late hits on khari jones. I cant say enough bad things. His blind side crazy late cheap shots to khari directly led to his career falling off early. Guys that tore us up and I had a love hate relationship with, AC, ricky ray, and flutie for being a GC machine. Davis sanchez, john bowman, kenton keith, andre rison, robert baker, after they left blue n gold i grew to hate brian clark and arland bruce.

One of my thoughts is all the fake recounts are to serve one purpose. Its so when the next election is held the system that that stopped Trump from turning over the will of the people won't be there or can be circumvented. Its just part of the preparation for next time. Just like the gerrymandering and new voting rules. Its all to keep people in power who can't get legitimately elected. Edit: And to get people mentally ready to accept that when it happens.

Workers at the supercentre in Selkirk say they are currently vaccinating mostly second shot.

Yes, but aren't you worried that Argos will only get to 35% if they moved to a high school football field (in Canada)?

Wearing a mask when you enter a 7-11 late at night really gets the staff attention as well.

I hate them both, I'll just root for NYI

Its a toss up, but I still hate the Habs more,fresher wound plus watching the Habs in the final the way they play,too ******* boring.

I appreciate all the info from you, thanks

wildly in favour.... Delta (India) Variant doesn't **** around. I think I'll be wearing a mask, regardless of official rules, for a long time...

'Fascists are at the gates': Government watchdog delivers dire warning that the US 'is in grave danger’ Former Director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Walter Shaub, is sounding the alarm on the current state of democracy in America. Prompted by two stories: the push for infrastructure legislation over voting rights, and Thursday night's bombshell New York Times report that both Trump Attorneys General Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr had spied on Democrats in Congress, including their staffs, family members and even children, Shaub went to work to wake Americans up about just how bad he thinks things are. And he's placing much of the blame on President Joe Biden's shoulders. "I think Biden's doing a good job with the pandemic and several other things," Shaub tweeted Friday morning. "But I'm increasingly alarmed that he seems clueless about the threat to democracy and doesn't seem to have any real commitment to pushing legislation on voting rights or corruption. That's dangerous." "I like him too," Shaub, who is now a Senior Ethics Fellow at the Project On Government Oversight, told a social media user who was defending Biden's popularity. "But I'm coming to the conclusion that he's clueless about the danger." What danger? "Grave danger." "Listen, your online friends can go back to sleep if they want, just tell them to set their alarm clocks for quarter to fascism so they don't miss the handover," he warns, suggesting the fascists are winning. "'LOSE THE HERO WORSHIP'," he tells Democrats, "and start pounding…folks in the White House & Congress [who] think it's enough to behave better than Trump. They've moved on from worrying about democracy and are spending all their political capital on fixing the roads and pipes."

Both doses needed? And how about a mask requirement even if vaccinated?

wildly in favour...

Ready to go on the 7th of next month, looking forward to get all the sports analytics that I don't understand straight into my cranium.

First investigate you opponents, next regain power and throw said opponents in jail, Fuddy duddy Democrats are in for a world of hurt and they have no one to blame but themselves

So close, need them to open up May 10th. Want to get my second shot so I can go to IGF. Plus I need that 5G upgrade because right now the hookup from the first shot is spotty.

Every indication is that the Democrats are naïve about the intent and willingness of at least some of the GOP to oppose and destroy American democracy by rigging the electoral process and using force to overturn legitimate results they do not like. They GOP is backed by corporate money and supported by rabid elements such as the Proud Boys, Oathkeeprs and "Christian" fundamentalists, to name a few.

how very polite. Democrats don't understand who they are dealing with.

Now i got to cheer the habs cause i h8 vgk.

In light of that idiocy perhaps a decade is being over generous. Its an interview from an Ideas show but I'm not sure from when. My views on the USA pretty much line up with Chris Hedge's.

Art Bell was something else. I loved the early days (the early days when it was broadcast here, not Art Bell's early days). For an insomniac like myself, it was pure gold. He was such a nutter and the guests were even further out there. From the Kingdom of Nye.

Just like the Oilers destroyed the Jets.

Is Colorado still going to destroy the habs?

man what a choke parade, Toronto, Colorado, us.

I know people who got their first dose yesterday - the nurses said 21 days.

never mind my earlier post - managed to get a booking for tonight at 7 in Red Deer......weeoooooooo!!!! LFG!

and I believe today's announcement regarding the re-openings said there would be 50% capacity allowed by August Long....which would dovetail nicely with this.

Nice to see things gaining some traction here as far as details and planning go. Fingers crossed it leads to confirmation of a 2021 season on Monday. It'd be great to see the champs defend their title!

Definitely not a plan, but I think for good reason. It is very hard to put a clear and defined plan in place when there are so many variables and it really is a moving target. Lots may depend on the Delta variant or any other variants that could mess up the most thought out plan. To be accurate, what it is is a rebranding of the restart/reinfect MB plan we've had in place since we "defeated" Covid last fall and spent money to attract tourism and large events. I wonder if that plan is officially retired now.

Shouldn’t be too hard to plan the parade route. Wait, they haven’t built a road in Regina yet, have they? Figured they’d just pick a field somewhere.

I will say this - it's a much more cautious approach than either AB or SK took in their re-opening. Slowly phasing it in over the entire summer, rather than just flinging open the doors at the beginning and hoping for the best. Looking at this from the Bombers perspective, 50% capacity by the start of the season (August 5th) if vaccination levels are met....it's not perfect, but it's something.

No teams would... who the hell would want to sign a 56 year old QB?
