And Jesus. Don't forget that they have Jesus. This plague is happening only because of gays and environmentalists

Neo-Marxist, Leftist, Deep State nurses. They will steal your guns, next

If Trump were to read this, I think it would go right over his head:

No, but don’t consider it an isolated situation..

can watch this all day long

Jason Kenney being an *******, nothing new here. Same as he ever was. Just gotta ride out the next several years and hope people have smartened the **** up next election.

I did my absolute best to try and tell people here that Kenney was going to be like this but to no avail. They all thought that conservatives had a magic oil price button to push.

So it hasn't changed at all...?

Its a swing state. That's why. This Is 100 percent political there. Twitter is a cesspool right now. Go read 1 thread about the virus down there. It's all so politicized its insane.

What is going on in Alberta. JFC that govt is more corrupt and heartless than Trump

...and also, this Ron DeSantis, is a total Trump arse kisser....

Its likely more the fact that Mar-A-Lago is located in Florida

Brett Jones re-signed in Minnesota for 1 year. Guy has earned over 5 million USD in his career. Glad to know he won't be back with the Stamps

Great job. You can sing the blues, man!

Yeah, that world class heath care system is working well.

well here's some positive news, Mrs Trudeau is all better

Life-size cardboard cutout of himself, to follow.....

I also think Coach **** really has no place in saying that...really...who's he to make that assumption Could say he isn't invested as a serious coach as half time his headset is dangling around his neck...seems to have no control of his players as the extra curricular b.s goes on and on...case in point banjo bowl...and the other constant yapping and mugging for camera...so really he should keep his pie hole shut truth be told If any of our guys pulled what the rider dorks did at Banjo Bowl...U could bet Oshea wouldn't have let them see field again that game...and a guy like Kindly Cal would possibly cut him..as I remember the time he cut a guy at halftime one year

Bill Maher, comedian, has a great line concerning Trump and his love of money. Yes, even over country. He said “The man is constantly for sale. That wasn’t toilet paper on Trump’s shoe, that was a price tag.”

I know of what you speak Speedy. Keep it up..

I need to go with your point of view. I want to be teaching face to face again sometime in April - this sucks.

Yeah but they can't afford that because they're spending all their money protecting these countries! Slackers should have to spend on their own militaries! Rabble rabble rabble!

With your $1,200 USD, I hope you can afford the healthcare you lost when you lost your job. There's a big difference when a first world country like Canada, England, Denmark can offer to give everyone cash on top of the gov't services you already get as opposed to the US, where they have red hats and guns.

well this popped up on my twitter

Yeah a team with a consistent coaching staff...minimal turnover and being able to hit ground running right away not having the growing pains of integrating new players..schemes..etc is gonna be huge in a shortened season...especially along an o-line and we are set up pretty well with everyone back on the whole offensive side of the ball

Read my comments again, I didn't at any point say I hate him I just said he shouldn't be cheered for acting like clown. Man you are really trying hard to press this. Why do you care how I feel about Joe Kapp?

TrueBlue4ever's memory about his Dad triggered a long forgotten one in my mind. It's football & it's the Bombers but it had nothing to do with any player or game on the field. I was in Grade 12 & in my Business Administration class. My teacher gave us a major project to do. To study a business, how it's set up, etc. How the money flows, the management team, kind of business, customers, marketing of products etc, etc. We also had to do our reports in groups so it was a major undertaking worth a major percentage of our term mark. Something like 35%. I called my 2 football playing buddies who happened to be taking the same course over & said, "Let's do the Blue Bombers!" Well, they were all in & we sat down to plot a course of just how we'd get this done & how to approach it. I called the Blue Bomber office & spoke to then GM Earl Lunsford. I asked if we could interview him on this subject & we agreed. We planned the interview, wrote down a ton of questions & all 3 of us went down to Maroons Road tape recorder in hand to interview Lunsford. He was very friendly, genuinely interested in what we were doing, answered all our questions about the business side of the Blue Bombers & gave us plenty of his time. Like 2 hours. IIRC, he seemed to be getting as big a kick out of talking to us as we did to him. Anyway, a great meeting & we took away a lot of information we used in our project's report. The next executive that we wanted to speak to was then Bomber President Paul Morton to discuss how community ownership works. That interview didn't go as well as Lunsford's. I was on time but my 2 partners never showed up. So, I sat in Morton's office doing small talk while waiting for the other 2 who never came. Morton was growing impatient so I decided to forge on ahead on my own after about 10 minutes. Luckily, I had my tape recorder so I asked all my questions & some that I made up on the fly & left after about half an hour. Morton was helpful but not as outgoing as Lunsford was. He definitely was not impressed that my 2 friends did not show up. When I think back, there I was with long hair, jeans, runner & a tee shirt talking to a multi millionaire businessman looking like a bum. Then my 2 compadres never showed. It's no wonder he wasn't impressed. I just remember his expensive suit, huge upstairs office at his movie theatre off of Notre Dame & his big thick moustache & sideburns. Here's a guy who being owner of a big movie theatre chain across Canada & who must have hobnobbed with Hollywood movie actors & shakers as well as being Bomber President & there I was just sitting across from his desk. A 17 year old kid just wasting his time. Next day at school I found out what happened to my friends. They were involved in a serious car accident. One of them hurt his neck & arm. He was wearing a collar & his right arm was in a sling. There were no smartphones back in those days so no one texted or called me to say what happened. I called Morton to apologize & explained what happened but he still didn't sound empathetic. Anyway, we were able to put the report together & our efforts got us an A so that is my non football memory of the Blue Bombers.

He played for the BC Lions and instigated a fight with Mosca. If you want to hail him for that give her. I think it was a black eye to his character. Both guys acted like clowns. If you want to condone 70 somethings fist fighting go for it...I think it's sad.

No ,you never said that. You said no one should cheer for Joe Kapp. Why, what else did he do for you to have such a negative opinion?

Here are numbers from Johns Hopkins’ website, which along with the WHO is a reputable site for accurate reporting (according to medical professionals and health experts who are on the front lines of dealing with this - full disclosure, I am married to one of those health professionals in this Province). Remember a couple of weeks back when Trump said they had 5 cases in the USA and would be at zero by April? Well four days ago they had 9,000 cases and 130 deaths. Three days ago it was 12,000 and 155 or so deaths. Two days ago it jumped to 14,250 and 205 deaths. Yesterday it was 19,000 and 260. As of now it is 25,500 cases and 307 deaths. That progression is the problem. Numbers are artificially low as well since there isn’t full testing yet. So cases are climbing at a rate of around 33% daily now and deaths are jumping at a rate of around 25%. Italy was at 3,000 deaths two days ago and are now at 4,800. That’s a 60% jump in two days. They had 41,000 cases yesterday and 58,000 today. So first of all, spare me the “flu has many more deaths than this in a year” BS. We are basically two weeks into the exponential growth stage. Extrapolate over a year without the “hype and overreaction” of locking down cities and guess where we end up? At a 30% progression rate, in one week from today the US has gone from 25,500 cases to 166,000. Fortunately the US death rate is about 1.3% of all cases, not the global rate of around 3.5-4 %, or Italy’s 8.5%, so we are talking “only” 2,150 dead next week, so yeah a 700% increase in one week. Canada is doing slightly better per capita, but the growth is similar. Or we can all quarantine and hope to slow those numbers. And since my spouse is essential services and treating those who have or will get this virus which has no known vaccines, and since the powers that be don’t have or bother to have proper filtered masks for those who test due to short supply, I’ll see your high risk with my family’s own. It is very personal and real to me. So excuse me if “I. Don’t. Give. You. A. Break.”, f*ck you very much. I don’t need another person who could infect my spouse walking around because they think this is all hype. At the very least, get off these boards and stop downplaying the risk. Sorry to everyone else for hijacking the thread. I'll keep my further comments to the COVID-19 thread.

He’s evil. That’s all there is to it.

a little over the top... but pretty much right on the nose...

When you consider that Florida is the Italy of the USA in terms of aged people i'm not surprised.

The 38-year-old mother had experienced a complicated pregnancy, made riskier by Type 2 diabetes and a liver condition that causes bile to build up in the blood. On March 19, in her 37th week, she went to Columbia University Medical Center in New York City to be induced. Neither she nor her husband reported any of the worrisome symptoms that health care providers are watching for to screen for COVID-19, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath or sore throat. In fact, the woman’s temperature was slightly below normal, at 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, while the woman was in labor, her temperature climbed to 101.3. Suspecting that she had developed a potentially dangerous bacterial infection called chorioamnionitis, her care team gave her antibiotics and acetaminophen, which seemed to stabilize her. But labor was progressing slowly, and doctors decided to perform a cesarean section. As they were stitching up their patient, she began to hemorrhage uncontrollably. The team raced to intubate her, but her breathing rapidly worsened. When doctors finally had her condition under control, they decided to evaluate her for COVID-19. She tested positive. The woman, whose case was described in a short report published Thursday in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, is one of seven pregnant patients at CUMC in recent days who turned out to have the coronavirus. Two of those women had no apparent symptoms when they arrived at the hospital, only to deteriorate soon after giving birth; both required admission to the intensive care unit. CUMC is part of the NewYork-Presbyterian medical system, which announced on March 22 that it would no longer allow women who come to the system to give birth to bring in outside support to help them through labor and recovery — no husbands, no sisters, no doulas. Some 25,000 women give birth in the system’s eight maternity hospitals every year.

I heard a rumor that a group of Riderfans tried to purposely catch the Coronavirus to expedite the process of ending the pandemic. Sadly, they were unable to do so after the virus hit the crossbar.

"Joe Kapp is not exactly someone anyone should cheer for." That doesn't sound at all like you said he shouldn't be cheered for just acting like a clown for punching Mosca. It seemed you were saying that he shouldn't have ever been cheered at all going back to his playing days which is wrong. I think the way you said it rubbed me the wrong way as Kapp played hard when he was on the field, was a good teammate & has been as good a citizen as anyone else since his football days were over. You made it sound like he was some kind of a bad guy when we know he isn't. Kapp & Mosca holding a grudge for 56 years is stupid. Saying he & Mosca were foolish octagenarians for their most recent dust up is a fair comment. Anyway, I now understand what you meant so unless you have anything more you'd like to add, this particular discussion is over.
