I think they just wanted a small race. Keep it to two or three candidates. Keep it small. Enjoy the boost they'll get with the attention and hope it doesn't deteriorate. I'm surprised they're moving so fast. Either the exec wants Brian out fast or he does. I bet it's a bit of both. ... I'm a bit disappointed that Squires isn't running. She's a good one, IMO. She's very intelligent. She reads everything and asks the great questions. She changes her mind when she learns new things. She applies her life experience to her work. She's not a bad politician but doesn't have a ton of experience.

I don't see Glover as much competition to Stefanson. There will be an element of the party that will want a "fresh start" away from current crop of MLAs/Ministers but I don't think it will be big enough. I would gladly take Heather over Shelly. The PCs are not in as bad shape as everyone thinks.

I call him Crappy but the others in my section are calling him Crapper. Not sure which nickname is correct?- Canadian Politics
Maybe I'll make it bigger for you,... But, he said, “It’s not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology.” Should I highlight it too or are we good?- Canadian Politics
Yes, I'm literate. Despite what Trump was saying, it's not a group or organized. Exactly what everyone has been saying. But, he said, “It’s not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology.”- Canadian Politics
FBI director says antifa is an ideology, not an organization https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/fbi-director-says-antifa-is-an-ideology-not-an-organization- Canadian Politics
Antifa is a loose group that was certainly rooted in the anti-fascist movement during the first half of the century. Comparing today's Antifa factions to the days of old, is like comparing Republicans of today to the anti-slavery Republicans of the past. Name is the same but there is no connection.- 2021 (??)

I'll take Duke, if I have to choose one.- Upcoming Movies
But, he's already been in Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man 1&2, Avengers 3 & 4, so it's already a crazy profitable. I think both Evans and ScarJo done and out of contract. I could see Evans come back but not sure about Scarlett.- Covid-19
I'm very happy with the vaxx mandate. Get it done. I wish they would have done this on July 1st, so that the kids were going back to a safer school but at least it's getting done now. Hooray!- Upcoming Movies
I was just thinking about Holland-Spider-Man. What incredible timing for Holland. He was young and latched onto an amazing series, that due to Disney and Sony only allowing Spidey into the MCU late, means that he was there for the biggest battles. He has three movies of his own, plus three others in the MCU, including the biggest two. He survives and will help carry the MCU through the next three phases, ultimately being in, what, twelve plus films? He'll end up in more than Evans and Downey Jr did. Incredible. If the writing holds up and the deal between Sony and Disney lasts, it could be one of the most profitable roles in cinematic history. And, when it's all done, Holland will still be young.- Canadian Politics
The Liberals called the election but didn't have their platform ready. Usually, that would be fine but both the CPCs and the NDP launched theirs and took a lot of attention. That was a big strategic mistake. Now, the Liberals have released theirs and the momentum will go back in their favour. They'll be leading the polls by 3 or 4 points by September first and in clear majority territory, which they'll sustain until election day.- Odds and Sods - Game 3 - Bombers at Argos
No, they don't. Argos only make mistakes. Bombers never do anything well. You know the usual schtick. Endless, never ceasing.- 2021 (??) CFL Season
If you're an employer, bringing someone in on a working visa, you need to pay them and ensure that they self-isolate for 14 days. I'm not sure why the team would want this but they obviously did.- Covid-19
This is it right here. This is the headline that they'll show to future generations about the fall of the American empire. One of many, of course, but it encapsulates so much. Having one of the richest civilizations ever and allowing it's population to be so stupid. So, so, stupid and ignorant. Bravo!- Upcoming Movies
This looks good.- Canadian Politics
That's fast. But, they made the barrier to entry very high, so it's a Stefanson coronation. I thought they would go for a broad campaign, welcoming new people and ideas but that's clearly not the case. Hand the reigns to Stefanson and let her take the party into the next election.- The TV Thread
Everything is filmed in blocks with Jeopardy. They film a few months, I think, over just a couple of days.- Covid-19
Yes, I don't think Trump will run. I'm not sure who will win but he's killed many with Covid and that's a big feature for the right. EDIT: Sorry, I don't want this thread to get pulled into politics. This is a health and safety issue for functioning adults, not a political issue.- US Politics
Why is it that every time there is "leftist" violence, we find out it was actually the right? I wonder.- 2021 (??) CFL Season
We need whatever the Argos use to fit all those salaries into their "salary cap" roster.- Canadian Politics
