Manitoba Politics
I know someone who is friendly with both Wab and Obby and has said in the past that both are good (normal) dudes. Not your typical slimeball politicians. I also work with some one who has been friends with Obby since his playing days and she says it's completely not in his character to make accusations and lie. I've met both guys once (briefly) and both seemed to me like average guys and far from your typical greasy bastards. I remember the first time I met Sam Katz, it felt like I needed a shower based on the grease coming off the guy. Definitely had an untrusting vibe to him. When I met Doug Lamont and actually had a chance to ask him a few questions, the guy gave the answers and the aura of someone who is completely clueless (similar to Judy Wasylycia-Leis). I also met Brian Bowman he seemed normal and less cringey as he comes off on tv, Cunningham seems nice but in over his head. Both guys were no where near as slimey as Katz not even remotely close. If only Unknown Poster was still around to tell his Katz story. I'm guessing games are being played and it's a matter of who is embellishing. Either way in the end the people of Manitoba are the only ones who lose because of all the b.s. It would be nice to have elections where candidates are all strong and the one who offers the best platform without trashing each other wins. I'm guessing that's a pipe dream.

It does matter. One guy has a squeaky clean, positive role model, beloved in his community background. The other has a criminal history and a checkered past and stories of having violent outbursts even after trying to move on from the checkered history. The only people saying the accused is innocent are people who want his political party to win. I don't doubt that dirty political games are being played here but the general public will need more convincing evidence of no wrong doing. If Khan is proved to be a liar then that will kill any bit of good will he has. If Kinew is proved to be a bully , well it will be on par with what most people already think of him so I don't see it as damaging to his reputation.

Reading those tweets and the others who say they were present... it's hard to take what they also say to heart as they all seem to be heavy NDP followers. I'd need a video or at least someone who is impartial to fully believe.

Bingo! I didn't even know about the Fletcher incident , so this alone true or not at least will rehash the questionable history of Wab and will lose him more votes.

Young Sheldon is really good, I'm curious on who and at what timeline they plan to do a spin off of?

Random Jets News
I seem to remember about 2 - 3 weeks ago I posted about why the Jets dipped down was because Connor H. was playing at average/slightly above average levels. Thank you for backing it up with the stats Now if only this team wouldn't require the goalies to play lights out in order for us to win on a continous basis.

The Golf Thread
A whole lot of people virtue signaling and jumping on a bandwagon. The PGA is on a smear campaign because they are threatened and are trying to brain wash people into thinking LIV is evil. You'll see people say it's from blood money and horrible things.... yet these same folks have no problems buying electronics and clothing from where the raw materials originates from Africa where it's absolutely awful conditions with child labour and then assembled in China with inhumane working conditions. Many people are extremely uninformed on just HOW much things the Saudi's invest big time money into around the globe. So much of what we spend money eventually ends up back to them. I'm not a fan at all of the social beliefs that they have , but to pretend LIV is somehow any different from basically all big entities is silly. Anyone who despises LIV should question about putting money into the following businesses as they have HUGE investments from that same blood money: Costco Google Amazon Wal Mart Home Depot Starbucks Nintendo Pay Pal Uber Visa Fed EX Grand Theft Auto UFC Adobe Zoom Nestle Electronic Arts AMD Many many more that can be listed. TLDR: People jumping on a bandwagon and somehow a Golf Company funded by oil people equals bad. Yet that exact same oil money funding Costco that's perfectly ok. People just being silly.

CBC is by far the worst, they slant stories on news reports and not even on opinion pieces. They take it to another level compared to everyone else.

Canadian Politics
100% CBC is the worst for bias and/or slanting news reports to fit an agenda at a local level. Nearly every time a press conference or big news (locally) is announced they are the only ones that withhold key information or slant the story in a certain way. Meanwhile all the other local news outlets report almost word for word a different (the true unfiltered story) of what really has happened. The Sun is clearly garbage but the difference is that my tax payers dollars isn't going to tabloid like outlets... it annoys the ever living hell out of me that taxpayers money goes to CBC.

The 2023 Wildcard Standings Thread
Had we a few 3 game winning streaks maybe the fans would have a sliver of hope. It feels like we win one, lose two, barely win one, lose 2 by a large margin.... rinse and repeat.

Has anyone else drove the dreaded highway to Gillam. Doing that drive during spring when the roads are washed out is probably the absolute most dangerous and terrible road in Manitoba.

This along with Jeannie's cake are the worst most over rated "Winnipeg" things that older people rave about.- Canadian Politics
I don't get it... he has a high approval rating and people are happy with him. Just because Noeller doesn't like him doesn't mean he is right and everyone else is wrong? Having strong feelings or judging your own opinions purely based on your own beliefs/ideas doesn't mean everyone else should follow suit. Here in Winnipeg when I lived in the Elmwood area where it was full of lower income and/or people on welfare people were heavy NDP fans because what they stood for benefited them greatly, when I moved into an area where it was above average income you can't find a single person being a fan of the NDP with everyone being Liberal/PC fans. Why because what those parties pushed greatly benefited them. So who is right and who is wrong? I'm sorry that because I'm open minded and look at things from other peoples perspectives that this rubs some people the wrong way. The moral of the story is... just because you think you are the smartest person based on your own opinion and own beliefs... doesn't mean it's true. Use some facts to back up your argument and if someone has an extremely high approval rating that is a hard fact to negate.- Canadian Politics
I have no opinion on the person but have you ever considered that if the majority of people disagrees with what you feel that you may be the one in the wrong? - Restaurant/food thread
