A Richie Hall D requires consistent pressure. Last year, they had more outstanding talent in the backfield, to make up for lapses in pressure.

Brits are filing past the coffin all night. Five miles of shuffling, then walk home or to your vehicle through the London fog. It's a queue extravaganza

May as well add Good Friday and maybe Louis Riel day to your list. Yep, no sense being a hypocrite and skipping the Queen's mourning day. 😁😁

Sounds good. Seriously, what a useless exercise.

Yes, those were additional factors. The west was also being impacted by American traders entering the mostly uncontrolled territory.

Yes. You've hit on one of my 'pet topics.' 1. This was the Canadian government's primary incentive for building a railroad from coast to coast and working towards Confederation. They were concerned about the American military might, and some bitter feelings that might still linger, from slavery and the Civil War. Canada supported the Underground Railroad, but Canada was a British colony, and Britain was the largest buyer of American cotton. And make no mistake, Canada would have benefitted from this, due to Britain's mercantile policies with its colonies. In the eyes of many Americans, the British colonists on their northern flank...were hypocrites. 2. And yes, many Canadians resented the escaped slaves, and most of them never got more than menial jobs. But I'd bet almost any job was better than the brutality of a southern plantation.

At the time of the civil war, most slavery in the northern states had been discontinued.

Well, Canada gave up slaves, but so did the northern states. I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that either of them 'had no problem doing so.'

Game 13 - Banjo Bowl - Sask Riders vs Defending CFL Champion Blue Bombers
Totally agree about the OL. They were seriously hitting people in the mouth today.

3 stars plus hh banjo blowout for Sarah’s send off
1. Collaros. Pocket presence and pinpoint darts, all day 2. Receiving corps. Some gritty catches today. Schoen in particular got belted several times and just kept making catches 3. The Jeffs. Nice to see them dominating again. HH: OL. The big boys brought it today. They really punished the Rider front 7 Crunch: when like 3 DL landed on top of Fajardo Block: just overall on some of the running plays - you could drive a truck through those holes
