Covid-19
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db328.htm cancer and heart disease kill about 500,000 each in US https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1310039401 in Canada, covid killed about the same amount of people this winter as the flu does over a year... I would suspect that rates of flu, heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s deaths will be lower as covid attacks vulnerable patients primarily

Well after reading this thread, I am 100% for changing the name... this debate is ridiculous maybe not every single inuk takes offence at ‘Eskimo’ but if some do then change it... it’s just a brand on the one hand 70 years of history is used as an argument for the name while historical mistakes connected with the word are dismissed

Only a few words of swampy Cree whats the cree word for ‘you eat raw meat’ - then we can decide if it sounds like Eskimo together because the Dene words don’t sound anything like it

There is no ‘single native language’ - Eskimo is a derogatory term for inuks used by their mortal enemy the cree it wasn’t just randomly and accurately describing a people.

No you are incorrect - plus is doesn’t even really sound like Dene words The cree word for eaters of raw meat legit sounds like Eskimo...

It’s a derogatory Cree term that was accidentally adopted by non-indigenous - you are correct Inupiat and western arctic still use it but probably easiest just to change it was thinking huskies might work but that also actually was a derogatory name for Inuit culture and Edmonton yellow heads is hard to chant

Least favourite non-Bomber
Actually David Archer and Kent Austin should be considered on par with Dunigan as all time greats But Ray, Flutie, Allen - these are elite QBs - Allen has to be in that category because he changed quarterbacking in the CFL really

Trump takes things that he’s heard and exaggerated and repeats them like gospel... covid could just simply disappear - sars did just that - but to be basing your medical response on that is insane

Covid-19
Like six posts ago, you lectured me about using stats that were not official when I said that researchers believed cases to be 10x higher... but its fine if we report the death toll speculation?

2019-20 CFL Offseason
I’d be willing to bet that the delay is getting an eastern hub - all of your cities are still in covid hotspots if wpg and sask are hubs - the season is already announced... I mean you could even bus players through to Edmonton and Calgary and still not have to worry about quarantine - Vancouver is probably just a shade too far
