classier than durant.

I hate being a cranky old man but when I read that I just want to go on a old man rant about people having no common sense. I KNOW people that have spent their life using crutches because of polio. It's not that long ago. Vaccines saved everyone from that. F##k people are stupid !

Have you looked at the UCP in Alberta lately?

fwiw...

it's ******* scary, no matter how you slice it, and you absolutely do not want any part of it. Stay home unless you absolutely HAVE to be out and avoid contact with as many people as possible. In AB, where we're a giant tire fire, I am really wishing for another "lock down" (meh) until June, when a lot more people are vaccinated. Things could get really really bad over the next two months if they don't do something...

The variant B117 is really starting to ramp up in terms of cases, looking West is seems like is was a good idea for the MB Gov to not loosen restrictions, more vaccines coming into Canada next week and next month so we need to get those into the arms as soon as possible cause this variant is close to getting out of control

Sucks. His cap room might be useful to sign some one when the argos have to cut half of this off seasons FAs.

Human stupidity is the pandemic for which there seems to be no cure.

that is too damn many

Im hoping we leave the door open for him to return if the league gets its act together.

Manitoba is a heavy investor in that facility. Pallister handed his buddy $7M guaranteed. Of course, Pallister doesn't remember serving in gov't with him.

Voter suppression and made up charges, Georgia GOP going all in, Democrats better take the kid gloves off before the Republicans eat them alive

First thing I've found. I'm looking for more. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/b117-explainer-variant-alberta-1.5962924 Is it more deadly? There is evidence that suggests B117 is more likely to result in severe illness compared to the wild type, but experts caution more research is needed. In a study published in Nature earlier this month, U.K. researchers found the variant increased the risk of death by 55 per cent. While that number is concerning, the researchers note it translated to an absolute risk of death from 0.6 per cent to 0.9 per cent in men aged 55 to 69. An analysis by Danish researchers, meanwhile, found a 64 per cent greater risk of hospitalization among variant cases. Existing research led U.K. government scientists to conclude the variant was "likely" linked to an increased risk in hospitalization and death. But Smith says the data from the U.K. comes from a time when that country's health-care resources were stretched, which could have contributed to higher rates of severe outcomes. .... This does not address the mortality but it does have some info on the number of variants are of concern (in the US). https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/variant-surveillance/variant-info.html

DC's track record does not inspire a lot of confidence.

Finally. Feels like this is going to be a hard fought game but we need to keep pace at the top.

We didn't, so having the US below us doesn't mean squat. We could have emulated Australia or New Zealand or any other country that locked down tight for long enough. Heck, we could have emulated Japan and made sure that everyone wore masks, stayed 1 meter apart, made businesses install forehead heat sensors at their doors and not let anyone in who ran a temp. It worked for them. Instead, we let the politicians make wrong decision after wrong decision. Open up, close down, open up, close down. Call non-essential businesses essential. Let folks walk around without masks, instead of no mask, here's your ticket. Let religious gatherings happen without any repercussions. In Alberta, we even went as far as to ticket people and throw one or two of them in jail, only to let them go without even paying a fine. They're now talking about spending millions of dollars on advertising to get people to get the vaccines instead of no vaccine, no entry. They don't even want people to have to have vaccine cards to prove they've been vaccinated in case it stigmatizes those who choose not to. All this means we don't get back to normal, likely for years.

Not really. I know lots of smallish farmers that wanted it gone. Lots wanted it kept. Often the split was aged based. Young farmers are pretty savy about marketing their crops. It really didn't make sense that a couple of their crops couldn't be marketed like the rest. Canola, corn , soybeans, and special crops have shrunk the wheat acreage anyways. The wheat board was a good way to battle the big grain companies but it had also morphed into a gigantic bureaucracy. I was producing non wheat board products at the time so had no dog in the race. I could see both sides of it. But I did find it odd that you could grow wheat in Ontario and market it however you wanted. But not here. You could market your canola however and where ever you wanted. But not your wheat.

The UK started building facilities last April after the pandemic arrived. They developed and produced their own vacine since then. They have now vaccinated about %46 of their population. And this was done in a toxic political environment. Our Federal government should be ashamed of itself. They attempted a poorly arranged joint deal with a Chinese government that has few ethics and was already angry at us. What a surprise it fell through. They then sat on their thumbs for months. Kudos to our provincial government for putting money into a Alberta/ Manitoba made vacine even though it won't be available till maybe October. Those guys were beating on the Feds door for a long time and couldn't get action.

If you are referring to the Quebec National Research Council plant I believe the deal is to produce the Moderna vaccine long after they have said we will all be vaccinated. I wonder why they didn’t make use of the empty NRC buildings in downtown Winnipeg... Oh yeah, Winnipeg isn’t in Quebec...

It's honestly disheartening. Even more so if this becomes a trend with players in the middle of their pro careers.

If you are referencing the Calgary facility, it is privately owned and will not be able to produce vaccines until this summer at the earliest, and then there is the approval process, which could take weeks. If Mulroney hadn't shut down Connaught Laboratories, we would have been in much better shape.

Ah Bleep. Was looking forward to seeing Mitchell in Blue and Gold.

Not enough of this happening anywhere, at any level. A lot of noise opposing it, though.

Noooooo...ever hear of George Lazenby? And Roger Moore wasn't much better. Brosnan was a woman's fantasy boytoy.

There were pros and cons to the the Wheat Board- the main thing was that teh cons came in and dictated what was going to happen to it. I feel it should have been left up to the farmers to do away or keep it. I think what's left of the WB is now owned by a Saudi corp...

here's hoping Europe doesn't cancel our vaccine shipments.... as long as we have those, we'll be alright.....eventually.

Given the fact that the Alberta economy has cratered under the UCP (although not entirely their fault), the NDP might be wishing that they do not win the next election. Bob Rae in Ontario had a similar experience,

Brosnan is far and away the worst bond.

2 weeks into the nothing burger of merger and I feel like things will start to settle back down now. Has XFL 3.0 folded yet? And now my watch begins.

regardless of the sport, whoever's playing Calgary.....

Please for the love of god make this happen! It's on my Mt. Rushmore of TV shows.

"The new variant quickly spread from Kent across London and southern England, going from an estimated 3% of cases in England at the end of October to 96% at the start of February. The surge pushed Britain’s Covid death toll into six figures; it now stands at 126,000. Two-thirds of those deaths have occurred since Sept. 20, when the variant was first detected.

Someone said that the secret of leadership is to find the parade and get in front of it.

With all the liberties being taken with characters, I am surprised that Dr. Fate or Black Adam for that matter, are not black lesbian females.

Mitchell ...we hardly knew ye..........Was looking forward to seeing him in the lineup....Can hardly blame the guy though with so much uncertainty....So the search goes on....Who's out there??? Maybe one of our new recruits will surprise...IF we can ever get going in 21'

She's brilliant and wil be missed.

. It appears that the Democrats have woken up to the fact that America is on the brink of being afailed state, and are attemtpting to change that. https://www.axios.com/biden-historians-meeting-filibuster-0a7d726c-4041-405f-a3ac-c31550c590bc.html The big picture: Biden's presidency has already been transformative, and he has many more giant plans teed up that could make Biden's New Deal the biggest change to governance in our lifetimes.

he Arizona Cardinals are closing in on a veteran backup quarterback for Kyler Murray in 2021. After going with Chris Streveler last season, journeyman Colt McCoy will likely take over that role. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, McCoy is expected to have a meeting with the Cardinals next week and that meeting is likely to end up in a deal that will make him their backup quarterback in 2021. yahoo

I hate lazy, clickbait, headline writers. It's not a tax, it never has been and the SCC just confirmed this in it's decision. It's insulting.

Rasheed Bailey must be happy

Ugh, this is some craptacular news. Fack.

I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!

Jesus ******* Christ........

Edmonton's stadium is actually not that bad. Calgary's is beyond awful tho. By far the worst in the league...
