Speedy, you can’t have it both ways. You've advocated opening things up because you've had it with lockdowns. Understandable. But, now you’re saying it’s irresponsible to have protests in what is probably a huge, potential turning point in American history. The biggest awareness by thousands and thousands of all races. And yes, it does come with potential problems, but they’ve made their choices because they’ve had enough. But why call the organizers socialists and communists and single them out for wanting change in a massive attempt to actually make a difference? This shouldn’t be political. It goes beyond that. Its about humankind and the attempt to right so many wrongs.

McKay could honestly end up being a huge signing and if he’s not, maybe re-evaluate what the hell we’re doing to assess receiver prospects that we’d wait 4 years for him

Trumps press secretary McLiar has said that the President is to busy running the country into the ground to make a comment on the events of the last few weeks, it's a wonder he ever comes out of the can where he does his best work, also does he really think anyone with half a brain likes him or would want to watch him cheat at golf

They finally got him to sign a contract

Just so we get you at both ends, if the game is well in hand and you know who is going to win, your screen freezes on the score and you have to pay to be able to change the channel. Win win.

Lapo gonna make the CFL bank if they do that.

Manitoba reports no new probable cases of #COVID19 today, leaving the total at 300. - 7 active cases - 0 in hospital - 286 recovered - 7 deaths - 735 tests yesterday, 51,460 since February

The other issue with pay per view is would advertisers continue to buy time knowing that viewership would decline by those not willing to pay to watch games?

not sure if this is actual news, but fox seems to think that a white nationalist quitting racing because of the confederate flag ban is newsworthy... aww no, poor klansman. https://www.foxnews.com/auto/nascar-trucks-driver-says-hes-leaving-sport-after-new-confederate-flag-policy "Ray Ciccarelli, a NASCAR Truck Series driver, announced on social media Wednesday that he plans to quit the sport shortly after the release of new guidelines that include a ban on Confederate flags at races."

Not enough people to equal what the TSN contract is right now.

I have a under 5 minute commute to work. If I want to add a couple minutes to it, I have a choice of 3 Starbucks I could visit. All without getting out of my truck. I'm not sure this isn't just the inevitable rationalizing of stores. Maybe sped up a bit by Covid, but coming anyway.

Tough to punish MLSE when they are the only thing keeping that boat afloat.

I just want football even if it means only watching on TV.

fwiw, I'm a really big fan of Rasheed Bailey and Kenny Lawler. I know we've said it before, but I think both of those guys could really be something.

Mosquitoes approve of this post

I'm fine with people from Western Canada but I'd leave Ontario for now. I'd like to see religious services allowed but how about outside only?

4 years ago, but..........

I'd pay a reasonable amount of money to watch CFL football in some capacity. I mean...I'm likely not paying for season tickets this year.

If he was so concerned, why wait until the end of the season? He could easily quit now... is it because he's not very good and is using this as an excuse to bow out?

"No transparency — In a stunning move" ? Yeah... absolutely no one knew that this was exactly how this was going to shake down... "stunning" is probably not the best choice of word here. Grifters goin' to grift.

Make the last five minutes of games pay per view

That is fantastic news

Big news from the MB presser on Phase 3 today, which would potentially launch June 21st.... Outdoor gatherings go from 50 people to 100, and residents of Western Canada and Northwest Ontario would no longer need to quarantine for 14 days upon entering the province. Great news for those of us hoping to come home this summer...

I'll tend to believe them but it was convenient that only the windows were spray painted. Damn lucky.

oh good I'm not the only person who thinks they probably vandalized their own business

STORM BREWING: COVID Is So Bad in Arizona They’re Running Out of Beds “It’s like Katrina,” one health expert in the state said. “We’re at capacity.” That’s how a nurse in Arizona who treats COVID-19 patients summed up the situation at her state’s facilities on Wednesday, describing 12-hour shifts treating more and more severely ill patients, many of whom have died. “It’s exhausting and emotionally draining, and you feel helpless and just very sad for people,” the nurse, who requested anonymity for fear of professional retaliation, told The Daily Beast. As of Wednesday afternoon, Arizona had at least 28,296 confirmed coronavirus cases and 1,706 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, which also showed a concerning upward trend. The state had 1,553 new cases on June 5, its highest daily peak for new cases since the pandemic began. According to a comparison of all 50 states, the Johns Hopkins data showed that Arizona had among the biggest upward case trends of any state in the U.S. https://www.thedailybeast.com/covid-is-so-bad-in-arizona-theyre-running-out-of-beds?ref=home (Don't they know that the Great Leader promised that warm weather would make the Coronavirus go "poof"? FAKE NEWS!!!)

https://www.chrisd.ca/2020/06/11/manitoba-phase-3-reopening-draft-plan/ In a nutshell Stage 3 is June 21 as per rumour.

This is pretty comical... And the vandalism sure looks staged: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/tuxedo-village-restaurant-vanadalized-racist-facebook-post-1.5606711 Seems like Bermax all over again. Only this owner comes across as quite the woke ******.

Joints Chiefs Chairman Millie apologizes for letting Trump dress him up in battle fatigues and strolling over to a church for a photo op......................he should resign

I advocated opening things up because obviously no one seems to care about the measures put in place to reduce the spread. Politicians talk but actions are louder than words. There is going to be a BLM demonstration in Innisfail, AB on Saturday. With the publicity it has received, I expect thousands of people will flock to that poor town of just 8,000. If there are any asymptomatic demonstrators there they'll bring in the virus with them. Well, now there's Jason Kenney who for months was telling Albertans to stay indoors. Yet, he announces that he supports the event even if the majority of the locals don't. They have been branded rednecks & racists by the MSM here in Canada because they were opposing it. Just typical redneck rural Alberta. I just see it as a hypocritical stance & it angers me a lot as it is unfair. Today, the MSM in the US has a number of stories about a second wave that has arrived. The Republican governors opened their states too early we're told so it's their fault & now they won't shut things down so we're told. Why should they when demonstrations continue? Much to the delight of MSNBC & CNN as well as Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper & Don Lemon's glee. That seems to be okay. Keep demonstrating, folks!! Not just Trump loves ratings. I just said the hell with it. I don't like what is going on but I won't stay in self isolation anymore. Thank God, Alberta has gone to Stage 2 Friday. What a totally ****** up world we live in.

Trump Returns to Campaign Trail With Juneteenth Rally in Tulsa, Site of a Racist Massacre President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he would hold a campaign rally in Tulsa on June 19th, his first since coronavirus precautions halted nearly all large events. The date and location of the rally are significant—June 19th marks Juneteenth, the anniversary of the emancipation of the last enslaved African-Americans in the Confederacy. Tulsa was the site of a racist massacre in 1921, when mobs of white people destroyed the Greenwood District, which was known as “Black Wall Street,” for being the wealthiest black community in the country. The attackers murdered dozens of Greenwood residents. Kamau Marshall, head of strategic communications for former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign, expressed outrage over the choice of date and place: “How racist is Donald Trump: He’s so racist that he plans on having one of his first campaign rallies on June 19th in Tulsa, OK. If you don’t know—Do some research on #Juneteenth and the racial violence that took place in Oklahoma known as the Tulsa Race Massacre, 1921.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-returns-to-campaign-trail-with-tulsa-rally-as-oklahomas-coronavirus-numbers-spike

Had our first dinner out since March 13th last night. Had to be Jonesy’s in Birdshill. Was a great dinner and very good experience. (one of these days I’ll figure out how to post pics on this forum. )

Sorry I missed this earlier. I bought a Weber Performer Deluxe charcoal grill from Luxe about a month ago. Have been using it 3 to 4 times a week. Best burgers and steaks I’ve ever made. Not to mention the crispy wings. The performer has a propane ignition for the coals. Gets you cooking real fast. I say do it. If you don’t want to spend that much I’d at least get a Master Touch model has some nice accessories included and comes in blue...

Public health officials report no new cases of COVID-19 today. The total number of lab-confirmed positive and probable positive cases in Manitoba remains at 300.

Republicans will do everything in their power to suppress people voting for Democrats, what happen yesterday in a Georgia primary is a precursor, Trump is done, Dems will retain the house and possibly take the Senate and then all of Trump's cronies will be looking for legal representation.

I mean, it blows my mind that nobody in the CFL office thought “hey, if the global pandemic makes cash flow difficult, a good alternative would be lowering the Argos’ salary cap for 2020 by the amount they went over in 2019” Skating by with no penalty? That’s an absolute joke lol

I'm pretty sure this was actually what was happening. The media or the AARP covered it all up.

What the hell is Ambrosie doing....letting the argos' off the hook....He's setting a bad precedent here...I understand that this franchise is on life support BUT knowing they cheated and allowing them to keep a first rounder they didn't deserve, and doubling down on an extra territorial pick is just plain bull$hit ...He could've let the fine go but for cripes sake have the balls to back up the rest of the punishment...All of the rest of the clubs are presently wondering what the hell is going on...BRUTAL

Trump is a stable genius. He and his associates are voting illegally to prove to everyone how dangerous and easy voter fraud can be. Thanks Obama!

The only problem is that whatever I end up buying... I will have to buy something else at an equivalent value for the wife to justify/keep the peace... that's why the weber is a more ideal price point lol.

She's been pushing this for awhile, basically get outdoors instead of sitting in the house where germs can spread more easily, but keep away from other people. I've taken her word and go stand in the forest for 3 hours everyday.
