    We have that. It's the Climate Change thread and there's only one denier of reality in it.

    give it time. You have this really bad habit of looking for an entire seasons worth for the flu and the very start of a pandemic... AND you are being completely dishonest about it any because our country is taking unprecedented measures to slow the spread of this thing. If we all had your attitude towards it you'd damned sure see more than 1 death from Covid in Manitoba (a number which is sadly going to climb). And further to that, it's not an either or situation here! each death from Covid is a death that is added onto other deaths. I mean even Trump and his loyal band of idiots have given up this stupid "the flu is worse" argument because it doesn't hold any merit at all.

  5. For those of you going stir crazy, there is a youtuber by the name of CFLfan#31 that has the full Grey Cup game broadcasts on Youtube going back to pretty much the post World War 2 era (I think he has every game since 1950 far as I can tell). Here are some of my favorite non-Bomber Grey Cups: 1951 1967 1969 1972 1976 1997 2009 2010 Enjoy!

  6. He suggested him to, but i never saw it shut down..had it streaming for over 3 hours while I "worked" from home and it just kept rolling along...was damn good entertainment I must say. On a selfish note I sure hope his NFL chance doesn't pan out...He would be a all time great sports celebrity up in Canada without a doubt

    People throw out the phrase that Alberta needs to diversify the econmy like it's so easy & can be done quickly, Alberta has a highly educated work force of unemployed ex O & G workers. You'd think high tech companies would want to set up shop here yet it never happens because Alberta has to compete with other cities & countries. Maybe the business & income tax are less elsewhere. Maybe governments elsewhere are more business friendly. Certainly the climate plays a lot into decisions of companies to relocate here. To simply say Alberta "should just" diversify, well it's not that easy.

    Frankly, I don’t see the point of comparing one flu or virus or pandemic with another. This present one is deadly serious and should be looked upon with the gravity it’s becoming known for.

    Well I and many many others get a flu shot each year... There are lots of places that restrict visitation during flu season to try and help from vulnerable people getting it.... So yeah we do take precautions. Here is where you apparently fail at logic, this is a new virus that no one on the planet had any immunity to. That means we are all susceptible to it, unlike the flu which there are people with immunity to, because it's been around for a long time and we have a vaccine for it. Stop trying to come up with a smart sounding argument and use a little logic.

    We do have something, it's called the flu shot, and if more people took that seriously (ie. enough to get herd immunity) the number of deaths from the seasonal flu would likely go down significantly.

  12. I mean we all know that the greatest 11 Grey Cup games are 1935, 1939, 1941, 1958, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1984, 1988, 1990 and 2019 but #12 to me has to be 2009.

    Again, just because oil was humongous doesn't mean Alberta has nothing else. Oil just completely blew things out of control. I mean even with the oil industry depressed and people in alberta feeling like the end times it still has an economy that many other provinces would love to have.

  18. Attempting to play the season would mean paying player salaries plus facility fees and all associated costs, the bulk of their expenses with no guarantee income can even cover the cost, going into hibernation and reducing expenses to the minimum is probably a cheaper and less risky alternative. Unfortunately a lot of the players currently making a living in the CFL will probably have to move on to other careers fairly quickly to make ends meet.

    I'll say right here and now, I ignorantly have never got a flu shot since I was a kid. Never saw the need for it. I ignorantly didn't understand community transmission. Now I get it. I'll be getting one every year from here on out.

    yeah the whole point here is to slow the spread (not stop it, that can't be done) but mearly slow it down enough to avoid overwhelming the health care system and hopefully buying time for improved treatments and a vaccine.

    J5V does have a point in a weird way... only time will tell if the cure is worse than the virus... 10 million on EI in the US, massive debt for GenX to figure out (which we don't have the numbers to solve), crime wave coming if this shutdown lasts and more rights given away freely - we have paid a high price to flatten the curve I mean we're not talking about saving people's lives - we're just talking about spreading out the fatalities over a long time period so as not to overwhelm our system - we just don't know the collateral damage to people who have serious health issues or safety/abuse issues at home We've shut down the western world for a hail mary pass on a vaccine - hope this ends like it does in the movies...

    What I find odd is that you aren't asking why we don't take the same measures to halt the spread of the flu? How is it that you can just brush those deaths aside? It's your attitude towards the flu that is completely dishonest and is contributing to far more death.

    The only province I didn't enjoy living in more than Alberta was Saskatchewan and that ain't saying much. Alberta has more than it's fair share of arrogant, redneck ******* cowboys. Maybe that factors into it a little bit. If you truly want to know what people think of Alberta, and I don't for a second think Albertans care about what the rest of the country thinks, look outside the province.

    TRUMP FORGETS HIMSELF AND TELLS THE TRUTH FOR ONCE! One of President Donald Trump’s surprising virtues is that, because of his lack of filter and his tendency for obliviousness, he is occasionally explicit about parts of Republican Party orthodoxy that more circumspect members avoid saying directly. And on Monday morning in an interview with “Fox & Friends,” Trump let slip a truth that has long been known but frequently been denied about the GOP: They prefer for fewer people to vote so they can hold on to power. He was responding to a question from a viewer who was concerned about “special interest projects” included in the coronavirus relief bills. Erroneously and mendaciously, Trump implied that only Democrats use big pieces of legislation to fund special interest items that they feel are important for their personal electoral chances. But then he slammed the Democrats for the reforms and funding they pushed to make it easier for people to vote in the wake of the pandemic. They had hoped to get $2 billion to fund this effort, but they eventually settled for $400 million, which experts believe is insufficient. “The things they had in their were crazy,” Trump said of provisions Democrats wanted in the legislation. “They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again. They had things in there about election days, and what you do…”
