Oof... hyperbole much? I have no love for Kives, but he ain't a lefty Rush...

That and his disgusting rhetoric was in a category all its own. I'm no Kives fan but to compare him an to oxygen thief like Limbaugh is simply absurd.

Taxes are general revenue. Gas taxes don't pay for roads, all taxes pay for roads. Like, all taxes pay for healthcare. EVs don't fuel themselves. You still need to produce the energy. Tax the energy consumed. It's a lazy way to fight the Federal government because they didn't like the SCC decision.

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

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?

Under the O ( for old man ) 63 .........Bingo !!! Booked in for Sunday !

I spent a day shadowing him at CBC in 1971. I was in Grade 9 doing a school project. I called him out of the blue, told him about my project & Witt instantly said okay for me to spend the day with him. One of the best days I ever had as a teen. I met all the CBC 24 Hours crew, News anchor Garth Dawley, Meteorologist Murray Parker & interviewers John Harvard & Gerry Haslam. He was a genuinely nice man. Treated me like gold. I got to see how they put together an hour long news show.

It is very difficult for us "normies" to understand the mindset created by centuries of poverty, abuse and neglect. One one occasion, I had to interview a black male who had grown up in south Chicago and was facing serious charges. At one point, I asked him what his reaction was to what he was accused of (and had admittedly done). His reply still sends chills up my spine: "I don't care if I live or die, so imagine how little I care if you or anyone else dies".

What a waste of a life.

Rush killed people.

Yes but they're not doing this at all. They're pumping a flat tax that does not take into consideration usage. Whereas, if they tax consumption, it would make more sense. The infrastructure required will be paid for by those consuming the energy. At no point does Saskpower or Hydro suck up costs that are not passed on to consumers. Again, just a make believe issues. This is only the whiny conservatives not liking an SCC decision, so they throw a dumb idea out to "stick it to the lefties". Typical conservatives, short-term thinking with no plan. If the Liberals suggested that natural gas was a more efficient and cleaner technology, the alt-right would be pounding at the door for more hydro and coal electricity.

Yeah, I miss Wittman too. For me, his all-time call is "ELLETT LETS IT GO, SCORES!" Always liked Slack, it's crazy watching him run and move so well with his bone-on-bone knee. Wonder how he good he could have been with working hinges. re: QBs getting worn down, I was watching the 1986 Western Semi, us vs. BC, and both Huff and DeWalt took a ton of hits that would be RTP today. It was quarterback tee-ball back in those days, QBs getting torpedoed by guys who were 3-4 steps away when the ball was out. Man, that was a heartbreaker of a game ... Bombers discipline was terrible, Willard Reaves got kicked out of the game, penalties and turnovers killed every bit of momentum we had, Jim Zorn got humbled, and when Huff finally got it going in the fourth, we had no RB1 to bash in the tying touchdown from the four. But damn, Huff could hurl the ball all over the field. His rainbow throws to Tuttle and Murph in this game are things of beauty.

My wife is eligible tomorrow as well. Hope you both get in quick.

Just watching the Calgary/Winnipeg 1995 game, a few comments - at the 24 minute mark (ish) - Slack throws a pass to Stegall (incomplete). He takes a hellacious hit to the head from the Calgary player and goes down like a sack of potatoes, but then just gets up after collecting himself on the ground. Glad to see the game has moved to the point whereby hits like that are flagged etc. The play doesn't even warrant comment from Don and James Curry who just ignore the horrible hit to Slack's head, other than Curry talks about how CFL QB's get "worn down" by hits like that during a game (lol) and then Don talks about a young Milt Stegall who told the Bomber coaching staff after his debut game in Calgary the week before: "I am tired and I have a lot to learn". LOL 55:26 - trademark Whitman calling Baker on a big punt run back - "look out!!!" 1:34:25 - history is made - Milt's first CFL touchdown. And Whitman calls it - "intended for Stegall deep...he's got it!!!" 1:45:25 - Milt's second TD. He already is showing flashes of being something really special. Reggie Slack had a weird wind up but he seemed to have a lot of tools, including really good scrambling ability. If I am ever near Navarre Florida I will try and visit his pizza restaurant, if it survived COVID.

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

Agreed, but it is difficult for many to escape the trap. On the flip side, there are also those who have every advantage, yet still live and end their lives in tragedy.

Yeah, looks great! And- filmed in WINNIPEG. Goes to Streaming VOD (and torrents...) April 16th

Yeah I agree. I don't know how that country fixes things without tearing itself apart first. The best thing we can do is ensure that crap doesn't permeate our systems anymore than it already has.

At this point, with the breadth and depth of hatred and fear between political and economic opposites in the US, I cannot see how the country can survive much longer.

I know this, I'm just saying that reasoning has been used to justify gas taxes before. I guess I wasn't clear, I was more surprised the right was using some semblance of logic to justify it as opposed to some bullcrap.

That TPR going up is not what we need.

Al Franken wrote extensively about him.

A tax is a tax, regardless of what the gov'ts "reasoning" behind it is. Everything goes into one pool.

It's always the same with conservatives. They assume that their disgusting media are mirrored on the left, so it justifies them comparing what Tucker, Rush, Dobbs, and Hannity do with actual journalists.

There's two things that have me disheartened..... 1) They left patios open. Hinshaw has been saying for weeks that the variants transmit very easily even outdoors, and when you get idiot drunks on a patio with no masks on, it's still dangerous. 2) Already seeing a LOT of restaurants refusing to abide the rules and saying they're going to stay open no matter what. Up here in Rural BamaBerta, a group of local restaurants, led by our favourite Pub, is banding together to publicly flout the rules and stay open. Seeing AHS finally shut down the church gives me hope that maybe they'll start actually using their power to shut down those who refuse to abide by the rules. Because the only way we get through the next couple months (until mass vaccinations start) is with everyone pulling together....

Totally agree. Kives is the Rush Limbaugh of the political left in Manitoba. You just can't believe anything he writes because of his bias.

This is just the SK provincial gov't being petty while reinforcing its collective ignorance. At least COVID's under control in the rectangle province. Oh, wait...

It was a report done by Global. BUT it was done March 20. It appears things are changing and Manitoba as slipped since but here is their report. https://globalnews.ca/news/7706844/covid-provinces-vaccine-rollout-plan/

Why do the Jets need Laine back? We have a plethora of guys scoring at the moment. The Jets need an all star D-man way more then Laine.

The terrible Premiers to the left and right of them are ashamed that they didn't think of this stupidity first. Truly, the right is the worst.

Just as an aside, but I see topics on different sites like the NFL Network, where they say "Classic Games" & it's a game from last season. Really? To me, a classic game is Ken Ploen vs Bernie Faloney. Not Matt Nichols vs Cody Fajardo.

Interesting that it was reported recently that a independent study found that Manitoba had one of the best vaccine rollouts in Canada. It was reported in several news outlets. Bartley Kives questioning at the press conferences borders on ignorant and belligerent. And repeatedly when called on for his turn there is dead air which has happened enough that I suspect he walks away from his computer and isn't there when called upon. One of the worst reporter's in Winnipeg in my opinion.

Saying its a waste just means it's a sad situation for anyone to be charged or committed a murder. Not just the murderer and the victim but the families of both. Their lives will never be the same or reach their full potential. It's a waste of multiple lives, and yes often with root causes that reflect both current and historical situations.

Papa Keith was a jerk and the two sons are as well.

blake wheeler...... dirty elbow to the head by tacchuk. suspension required.

with all due respect. I understand it all too well. Doesn't change that it's a waste.

well at least it seems the next time they adjust the eligibility my mom will be eligible

'Inmates run the asylum': Political observers stunned by QAnon congresswoman’s massive fundraising haul On Wednesday, POLITICO reported that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), the famously QAnon-sympathetic conspiracy theorist congresswoman who lost her House committee assignments after social media activity endorsing the execution of prominent Democrats in Congress, raised $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 — a huge amount of money for a freshman lawmaker in a district that is almost certainly too Republican-leaning to field a competitive race in the midterms anyway. Political observers on social media quickly reacted to the news of Greene's fundraising haul, many of them expressing dismay and disgust that so many people endorse Greene's brand of politics. Republicans are the party of QAnon. They can deny it, but it's true. The inmates run the asylum and have for years. https://t.co/1FQpsoVn6H — Emily C. Singer (@Emily C. Singer)1617800521.0 Just a reminder that the Republican base *wants* their leaders to act like Marjorie Taylor Greene. https://t.co/68QIcsqYXY — Renato Mariotti (@Renato Mariotti)1617800963.0 'Inmates run the asylum': Political observers stunned by QAnon congresswoman’s massive fundraising haul - Alternet.org

What's the lowest age eligibility right now in Alberta? Manitoba just dropped to 62 so I have a ways to go (turned 44 in January).

Might as well add electric heaters, HE electric furnaces, electric water heaters to the list, too.

The only thing he's got going for him is his daily update on cases in MB. Other then that it's painfully obvious he has an axe to grind.

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

has the XFL 3.0 folded yet? 😁

Interesting poll. I don't think it would play out with an NDP majority. In fact, I still think the PCs would take the majority; however, it shows how much the PCs have fallen. I don't think it particularly means that NDP have risen but, rather, are benefitting from the PCs fall.
