At what point to we stop making excuses for the league and just admit they've ****** up this entire situation?

yeah, here is a site that has pretty omprehensive data and stats on vaccine roll out in Canada and by province too. https://covid19tracker.ca/vaccinationtracker.html The Doses By Province graph backs up what Bart says. Province Total Doses Administered Total Doses Delivered % of Doses Administered Doses Administered / 100k Population People Fully Vaccinated Canada 6710588 (+155199 today) 10081750 66.6% 17655.72 721687 Ontario 2,621,839 (+76199 today) 4,022,875 65.17% 17,795.54 323,148 Quebec 1,592,197 (+39982 today) 2,334,695 68.19% 18,566.2 N/A British Columbia 893,590 1,289,060 69.32% 17,365.25 87,472 Alberta 707,482 1,078,215 65.61% 15,977.05 116,198 Saskatchewan 227,471 (+5938 today) 284,995 79.81% 19,311.83 39,148 Manitoba 216,718 (+6630 today) 372,030 58.25% 15,708.93 62,656 New Brunswick 124,122 (+1893 today) 190,485 65.16% 15,886.29 12,257 Nova Scotia 116,436 (+2965 today) 200,250 58.14% 11,891.96 29,677 Newfoundland and Labrador 88,397 (+18546 today) 129,060 68.49% 16,966.85 9,654 Northwest Territories 37,655 51,600 72.97% 83,540.4 13,933 Yukon 35,470 51,400 69% 84,099.96 11,592 Prince Edward Island 27,448 (+2295 today) 39,585 69.33% 17,185.82 7,615 Nunavut 21,763 (+751 today) 37,500 58.03% 55,397.73 8,337

He’s only 22 and on an 82 game pro-rated pace of 25 goals and 48 points. Scheifele at 22 had 15 goals and 49 points. Patience may be needed.

I'm going to go Captain Obvious here but a win and two points is always good. In other news, water is wet and the Saskatchewan RoughRiders suck.

Wait, PLD has two goals? Paul Friessen just wrote how that trade didn't work for either team.

Tons of vintage CFL games turning up on youtube, like this one from 1995. I'm not 100% sure but I think it has Milt's first two Bomber TDs in it. It's his second game and the announcers don't mention if he had a touchdown in his first or not. He has a couple funny rookie moments in the game, there's one bit where he and his return partner get all Keystone Kops. Ugh, those navy helmets, what were they thinking? Anyone else getting their CFL fix via old games on Youtube?

just gotta get that re clipped together version of dunigans 716 game on line

Jets were not serious about moving Laine until the season had started. All the off-season stuff was just media stirring the pot. Chevy listened to offers but nothing decent came up until Dubois went public with wanting out on January 3. It was only after Torts benched him that it became a real possibility. So this was never really at the forefront until the season was underway. Agree it would have been better to have happened earlier, but was not something that was brewing until the season started.

Back in January/February, I think they started okay, when they were getting very few vaccines. They rolled those out the assisted living homes with teams of nurses. But, recently? I think they're sitting on a lot of doses.

Thought he was faster then 55 but 55's speed has been crazy fast lately if anyone noticed. And now the numbers... Laine 31 games 9 goals 8 assists 17pts -12 Dubois 29 games 9 goals 8 assists 17pts -3 Roslovic 32 games 6 goals 16 assists 22pts -6 Appleton(Roslo's replacement) 39 games 9 goals 10 assists 19pts +8

Pretty sure Bart's take is based on simple math.....and therefore accurate. I saw Scott Billeck Tweet similar thoughts. They know how many doses have been shipped to each province...they know how many doses have been injected by the province.....the math isn't very difficult to find out that Manitoba is leaving a lot of doses in the freezer.

Too many GC losses in the official portal but some really neat regular season stuff on YT. Love watching those 80s teams...

Who hurt you?

He was running out of manure disturbing topics...

AHA! It's that reverse shrinkology thingie in action. Clever girl.

If the following makes sense to a person, they are beyond reach: Fox news panelist Ainsley: Ainsley Earhardt on the NY Times story about Trump's $1 billion+ in business losses: "If anything, you read this and you're like 'wow, it's pretty impressive, all the things that he's done in his life.' It's beyond what most of us could ever achieve."

I tweeted at the club awhile back for that...I mean I'd gladly pay for that one!

imagine having a crystal ball and Chevy drafting Dubois over Laine in 2016. He might have gotten fired for it but here we are...

Meanwhile in the states

Half of Republicans think Jan. 6 siege was peaceful or staged by antifa, new poll finds. Only 3 in 10 Republicans say Donald Trump was "somewhat responsible" for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol What percentage of Republicans believe the Jan. Capitol siege was either a peaceful demonstration or led by antifa, nearly three months after the riot? A jarring new poll conducted by Reuters and Ipsos, published on Monday, found that "about half of Republicans believe the siege was largely a non-violent protest or was the handiwork of left-wing activists 'trying to make Trump look bad.'" Although there is considerable evidence to support the fact that proud pro-Trump vigilantes were seen around the Capitol building in large numbers on that dark day in Washington, many Republicans appear to have created an alternative reality, or simply haven't registered the corrections issued by conservative media. A few days following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, one dubious report from the Washington Times was widely circulated in right-wing circles, claiming that "Antifa members" were identified in the crowd. The Times later retracted that article in its entirety, after Mediaite reported that the outlet made silent changes to the story in the dead of night. The story stoked innumerable false claims in conservative Twitter circles, which widely spread the discredited notion that antifa was behind the Jan. 6 riot. As for the new poll, the results are startling, even beyond the headline news that most Republican voters believe the siege was the fault of leftists or was entirely "non-violent."

I would love to see that study. And, Bartley is an exceptional reporter. Unfortunately, they're really restricting access to reporters. I wonder where Brian is with his fire hose?

I think it's too early to call the trade either way but ya PLD has been very meh so far. Definitely not earning a big pay increase...

Yes, and through the CFL's Grey Cup on Demand. 2000s are coming soon.

He's still meh to me. Enable playoff beast mode!

Wonder how much of this is a result of them delivering a large amount to places up north to those eligible.

Well, at least someone is getting the shot. Wish it was more.

Well sheeeeit... silver linings and all: " the collaborators are partnering with the biotechnology company Moderna to develop and test an mRNA-based vaccine that harnesses the approach to produce the same beneficial immune cells. According to the team, using mRNA technology could significantly accelerate the pace of HIV vaccine development, as it did with vaccines for COVID-19."

Ghosted again.

The funct, the whole funct, and nothing but the funct?

Since spring thaw. Jets get 2 points. Let's go Flames (🤮).

If any thing is clear in this off season, the CFLPA doesnt know any more than the fans do.

Republicans dupe their low-information voters again — this time on the Capitol siege Donald Trump's rabid base of GOP voters continue to consumes disinformation at a voracious pace. Not only do six in 10 Republicans believe the election was "stolen" from Trump, according to new Reuters polling, about half either believe the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack was largely peaceful or was staged by left-leaning activists "trying to make Trump look bad." Sure, Trump supporters in para-military gear waving Trump flags and donning an endless amount of Trump paraphernalia literally climbed the walls of the Capitol in an assault that left five dead and injured more than a hundred police officers. But was it really that violent? And hey, it's not like Trump ever promoted violence at his rallies. So it all seem very dubious, no? Just last week, Trump told Fox News that the Capitol siege posed "zero threat" to U.S. lawmakers working to certify the election results that day. Meanwhile, GOP senators like Ron Johnson of Wisconsin are busy selling the notion that Trump supporters wouldn't hurt a fly but Black Lives Matter protesters are where the real danger lies because, well, the obvious—the Trump supporters are overwhelmingly white. No small bit of racism there. Obviously, the GOP can just get away with this stuff because Republican voters insist on continuing to be the most gullible group of lemmings known to man.

Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called most powerful nation on earth.

CFLPA should be keeping the players updated. Commish should be keeping the owners updated. Then the individual clubs should be telling the fans.

The Rock has re-funct the XFL.

The concept of "defunding the police" has been deliberately and widely misrepresented. About 80% of the callouts police go to can be better handled by Mobile Crisis Units and are really non-criminal events. The "defunding" movement wants money to go to services that are more effectively handed without police presence. This would free up police resources to handle serious incidents, resulting in better policing and fewer people taken off to jail.

Damn, Pete's so good at taking apart these bad faith gotcha GOP talking points...

Ya it's a ******* mess in AB. I'm tucked away in a small town but we still have 35 cases in a pop of less than 15k including rural. Way too high. The premier won't do anything about it because he's terrified of his hard right base that wants to just go wide open like Fla/TX (he actually mentioned this during his last presser). I also truly believe that they're intentionally going slow with the vaxx rollout so they can further blame the Feds. They have the doses but are very slowly getting them into arms and crying that they don't have enough doses. It's a horror movie right now...

Reported on CBC news this morning that there are two massive outbreaks in the Calgary area yesterday related to two workplaces, but the frightening thing is that 46%- almost half of the new cases are variants. The epidemiologist interviewed said that Alberta is on the verge of a full-blown crisis and that (provincial) government inaction was mostly to blame,
