  1. I dont think we fake anyone who will be in camp. Too much $$ for what the team needs....which isn't a starter. I can see a futures pick or a DL. Lokombo to Ssk is fantastic! They'll be playing a lot of D this year lol.
  2. I just signed up with Bodog a little while ago...and hadn't used my credit(match) when you sign up. So it's an even better bet for me. $12 - $650!
  3. Im takin that bet!

    I mean...if they're going to court to fight the government on lockdown measures....I'm not sure a fine will change much...
  5. Anyone watching the New Mighty Ducks series on Disney plus? It's really well done.

    I'm always torn with the stuff. Because really the only way to get rid of taking heads like this, is to completely ignore them. Sure outrage on SM will get one of them fired, but as we've seen....there's always gonna be another one. If no one watches/pays attention via SM, eventually they'll be forced to change what they're broadcasting.....on the other hand, we should probably know what they're rambling about so as to build a defence against it ...

    Yeah once it was announced that they were leaving the province, and the subsequent outrage about them walking with our money, the PC government announced they hadn't paid yet....im hoping that's the truth.

    Apparently the government didn't actually pay them

    TPR in MB hasn't changed. So this number is big...but mostly due to the amount of tests that were done.
  12. https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/04/29/2021-draft-preview-part-1/?fbclid=IwAR0tCz6MvtztXTeWw7f0bpeTYY4mDh1kkM1hZjLqYQIxeV-tkvGzAxTQodc I don't know if anyone posted this before...but man I forgot just how many 2019 draft picks contributed in 2019.

    booked my appointment!
  14. There's so many who can relate. I'm a grandson to a ww2 vet. And my dad has similar stories to what was shared here. My grandfather never talked about the war, turned to alcohol (for many reasons but it started when he got back) and his relationships suffered. This also had an impact on my relationship with my father (as I'm sure it has for many people). It wasn't until I was an adult that these things were discussed openly. But because they were I understand that some of the things my dad said or did aren't conductive to a healthy relationship between father and son, but it was what he knew...it was what he was exposed to. Knowing more, I have been able to adapt my fathering style to my kids. Likewise as he's gotten older, he's become much more emotionally available especially when grand kids arrived. He's said on multiple occasions, that he feels so lucky to have them because he can try to make up for the mistakes he made raising us. These discussions are extremely important to help break these cycles trauma can create.

    No, I actually don't think THIS government would do that, as you're right...we know it's not normal and wouldn't accept it. My worry is the normalizing of this with the lack of education around the reasons why. *worst case scenario time* why don't we do this for flu season? It kills people, even children...I've come close to this with my family...So even I'm like...I can see a reason to have a government mandate on visitors during a really bad flu season...but maybe in a decade someone suggests it would be a good way to keep people working etc...so now during flu season these measures are taken...then after that it's for some other reason and so on and so on...until over the course of decades it's completely normal for us to ask the government who we can visit. *worst case scenario over* And yes this is absolutely alarmist, but I'd rather have the conversation or at least acknowledge it then completely ignore it and pretend the government isn't creeping into our homes. I am a worst case scenario person at heart after all. Again I do think that worst case scenario won't play out, I can even quote sources showing how similar moves in the 1920s didn't end up dragging society down that path...but again I won't pretend like it can't happen.

    If you're ok with the government restricting who you can or can't have at your private residence, that's fine. It makes me (even though I'm for it, and understand it's needed at this current time) uncomfortable and I won't not talk about it. And yes, I've been saying for a long time these rules are for the idiots among us who don't understand how a virus operates or just basic manners even.

    If you think never discussing what happened is healthy. That's fine. I'll speak my mind. I'm not saying we are in the grip of the 3rd reich. I'm not saying anyone is being persecuted. I'm saying the comparisons to how the ball got rolling in 1930 are there, even if they're small and look different. I don't think it's bad to talk about, and I dont think it's healthy to assume the government will relinquish the power it takes.

    What did I say that's nonsense? He has to carry those. Did you think the Nazi's became who they were, immediately? I'm not allowed to use the German comparison? When will it be ok? I'm not saying anything really needs to be done, or that those who rallied at the forks aren't idiots. However, I will not be shamed into not speaking about some commonalities these two situations have. The governments are (even if it's for the good) taking an increased role in all of our daily lives. I hope we remember so that when this is over, we can return to the all the freedoms we had and not settle for what this society has become. Because we know what humans are capable of when we don't force government to step aside.
  19. My take too. I don't know why people seem to think he HAS to be brilliant in every aspect of life. He's obviously next level smart. Is he an expert in virology? No...so should anyone take his opinion on it as gospel? Also no. But the twitter universe demands weird things of people at times. I have no issue with him honestly, but I do find it funny when people call him an idiot.

    nevermind in America. My uncle in Kenora needs to carry papers proving he's going to....work....just incase he gets pulled over due to the lockdown. That has RED FLAGS all over it.

    This is a great practice in theory. But I'm not sure how you think they'd be able to fine everyone breaking COVID rules, when they can't fine all the people who break regular rules. AND as the old saying goes, "if the punishment for a crime is a fine, then it is only a crime for the poor". or something like that.
  22. Bigblue204 replied to JCon's post in a topic in General Discussion
    I do agree with you....at some point people have to stop pretending like we can depend on this government. At the same time, this governments in ability to have any kind of leadership hasn't helped us.
  23. You know ****'s getting stupid when people start arguing about which generation is what....how bout this. You're all idiots! I'm not though....
  24. We will be. People need to remember, it hasn't been a full roll out. Age requirements naturally mean less people will be vaccinated. As that age limit comes down, more and more people will be able to get it. Hopefully our system can keep up!

    *Would increase the underground market* There has been an underground tobacco market for a very long time in this country.
