Major respect for how Wab Kinew handled that. Also, major face palm. Is it election time yet?

Not a good start for the new minister. The lack of empathy or ability to read the current situation is simply amazing.

the wife is pretty bummed about it (but hoping for a miracle) but honestly, for me........ I've been in Alberta for 14 years now. I can't even begin to put into words what an incredible feeling it is for me to be in Winnipeg on a Bombers game day. I was saying to the boys in our group chat that its' almost a religious experience for me. I took it for granted for 27 years, but not anymore. Whether I watch the game at the stadium or at a bar, or out at our cottage at Victoria Beach, or wherever......it's an indescribable feeling of joy just being in the province on game day.

Oh hey thanks for checking in. Things are starting to slowly return to normal. I was finally able to access my vehicle yesterday, which was stuck on the street behind a temporary fence across from the accident scene. I still have the image of the paramedics working on a guy right beside my SUV on the street..... Anyway, thanks again guys, keep the great posts coming! Focusing on the Bombers is the best therapy I could have right now, so much positive stuff going on with the team! Yes that was my thought too.

She is not your typical PC. Unfortunate side effect: Indigenous people just lost an excellent minister.

Not sure. If he's tested positive he shouldn't be talking with other guys.

In all of our lives, there is usually only one place that feels like home. I have lived in four provinces and Winnipeg is home to me. When we returned after three years in Alberta, the sense of being where I belonged was overwhelming and got better every day. Its an imperfect city in an imperfect province, but its home, now and forevermore.

Think of the plus side, no Rider fans for the Banjo Bowl. Those guys are

I echo that. Was not aware of the incident until I saw the post, and I have a nephew out in Kelowna so there were a few nervous moments until I heard more details. Glad you are OK physically KBF, and I hope you are recovering from the shock. In our thoughts. Take care.

"Solid replacement hire, Brian." - Nobody Ever

lol O'Shea "good to go" translation...... can get out of bed unassisted.

Just wanted to check and see how you are doing? It was not a good day for sure, my staff there were pretty shock up and one of my best friends went to HS with one of the brothers from Salmon Arm. 2 kids and a 3rd on the way, hard not to have feels when you hear that.

And we all know that adults are the leading cause of children. 😜

and general public on Monday the 19th!

He was not permitted to join the team in practice past 2 days (I believe) while waiting for the result. By all account, result turned out false-positive, so he joined the team today .

At first i was thinking this was a recorded address from the past. When I realized it was from today, my reaction was -You've got to be ******* kidding me to be that tone deaf at this point, let alone speaking as the Minister responsible. What the **** was he thinking by even saying that, thinking it would fly? What the **** was Pallister thinking picking this guy?

He's basically saying he cant/doesnt want to work within a team system. He's torpedoing his own value.

Who the F cares about how these people like Cheney, Generals etc reacted. They didn't come out when it mattered. Complicit and/or Enablers most all of them, both sides of the aisle.

Everyday more and more comes out

The province will implement the second phase of the ‘4-3-2-One Great Summer’ Reopening Path two weeks early, on July 17, as vaccination rates continue to climb across the province, Premier Brian Pallister and Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba’s chief provincial public health officer, announced today. “Vaccines are the safest and quickest way out of this pandemic. The sooner all eligible Manitobans get fully vaccinated, the sooner we can all get our lives back,” said Pallister. “Thanks to the incredible efforts of Manitoba’s vaccine team and Manitobans’ willingness to roll up their sleeves – not once, but twice – we are able to move forward earlier than anticipated with fewer restrictions on our economy and our communities.” The second vaccination milestone of at least 75 per cent first dose and 50 per cent second dose for those age 12 and older was reached nearly a month ahead of schedule on July 6. With continued improvement in the overall COVID-19 situation, Manitobans will be able to enjoy more freedoms with expanded indoor and outdoor activities, the premier noted. Under the second phase of the ‘4-3-2 One Great Summer’ Reopening Path, most facilities may now open to 50 per cent capacity, allowing more people to gather indoors and outdoors, shop, dine out, visit cultural and recreational facilities, and more. Fully immunized Manitobans who have received two vaccination doses at least two weeks ago, may enjoy even more benefits under new public health orders. Specifically, the new public health orders will now allow the following: • indoor gatherings at private residences are permitted to a maximum of five people, plus the household members; • indoor gatherings in public spaces are permitted to a maximum of 25 people; • outdoor gatherings on private property increase to a maximum of 25 people; • public outdoor gatherings increase to a maximum of 150 people; • retail businesses increase to 50 per cent capacity or 500 people, whichever is lower; • restaurants, licensed premises and food court capacities expand to 50 per cent capacity: - outdoor maximum table size remains at eight people; - patrons may only sit together indoors if they are from the same household or if all patrons 12 years of age or older are fully immunized (unvaccinated children under 12 may dine with fully vaccinated members of their household in this case); - opening hours extend to midnight; - the requirement to purchase food when ordering alcohol no longer applies; - VLTs may be operate with all other restaurant/bar rules applying (two-metre distance, only households or fully vaccinated people seated together); • personal services (haircuts and styling, nail salons, estheticians and massage) continue at 50 per cent capacity; however, appointments are no longer required; • dance, theatre, and music school capacities increase to 50 per cent capacity to a maximum of 25 perople per group; • indoor sporting facilities may host groups up to a maximum of 25 people, interaction between groups and tournaments are not permitted; • day camp capacity increases to groups of 25, joint activities between groups and overnight camps are prohibited; • outdoor recreation including games and practices may take place to maximum group size of 50 people; spectators are permitted and do not count towards this capacity limit; tournaments are not permitted; • gym and fitness centre capacities expand to 50 per cent capacity; masks and increased physical distancing (three metres) are still required; • outdoor weddings and funerals may include up to 150 participants in addition to photographers and officiants; indoor weddings or funerals increase to 25 people in addition to photographers and officiants; • libraries may open to 50 per cent capacity to a maximum of 150 people, whichever is lower; • faith-based and cultural gatherings (pow wows, sun dances) may expand to 50 per cent capacity or 150 people indoors, whichever is lower; masks and physical distancing between households is still required; - if the facility design allows, the capacity limits may be applied to different physical spaces within the venue; - outdoor faith-based and cultural gatherings permitted up to 150 people and drive-in services continue to be permitted without restriction; • the following may now reopen for fully immunized people only, to a maximum capacity of 50 per cent: movie theatres; bingo halls, VLT lounges and casinos, and museums and galleries; - museums operate under the fully vaccinated requirement when open to the public as a museum, both indoors and out, and if the museum is used as a private venue for another purpose (e.g. wedding), then the appropriate orders apply; - unvaccinated children under 12 may attend/visit these facilities/events (as appropriate) if accompanied by fully vaccinated members of their household; • large-scale, outdoor professional sports or performing arts events may operate with capacities up to 100 per cent after developing an approved event plan in consultation with public health. In all cases, following the COVID-19 fundamentals, including indoor mask use and physical distancing, is still required to protect the health and well-being of all Manitobans. “This is the safe, reasonable and appropriate next step in our reopening”, said Roussin. “More and more vaccinations allow us to loosen public health restrictions. But COVID-19 is still circulating in the province and continues to challenge our hospital and ICU capacity, a phased reopening is a safe reopening.” Pallister echoed the need for caution and care in the province’s reopening plan. “This is a marathon, not a sprint. We are not at the finish line yet, the race to beat COVID-19 is not over yet,” said the premier. “Until that race is over, Manitobans must continue to do their part and fulfil the two most important public health responsibilities each of us have; get fully vaccinated and follow the public health orders designed to keep COVID-19 away.” The new public health orders will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, July 17. The orders are scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 7 and will be reassessed at that time in the context of vaccination rates and the province’s overall COVID-19 situation. “We are close to achieving all of our vaccination milestones ahead of schedule. Now we just need that extra effort by every Manitoban not yet vaccinated to roll up your sleeve and push us across the finish line so we can fully reopen, safely and quickly,” said Pallister.

Bomber game 100 percent capacity approved

Hey guys - just wanted to let you know that yesterday was a pretty f-ed up day for me as I was extremely close to a huge accident in Kelowna that claimed 5 peoples' lives. Having been that close to the danger and near death it put a lot of things in perspective. Thanks for all your posts, I really need to focus on this right now as it was beyond a traumatic experience. I am so happy the Bombers are back, and I can focus on something positive right now. That is all.

If a player tests positive, don't the protocols dictate isolation from the team? I am speculating.

There was something on Twitter about 1 of the Sask players having tested positive, but it turned out to be a false-positive. Also, 10 out of 6000 is a TPR of 0.17%, so overall, not too bad.

I just love this so much. There's going to come a day (hopefully before too long) when I'll be able to come home again, and I almost can't even wrap my head around how good it's going to be. I lay awake at night dreaming about it.

Darren Cameron has mentioned a few times that the team is working on getting this resolved.

'Is this real?': Trump leaves people stunned with 'insane' rant about his aides being 'made of garbage' In his eighth statement of the day, shared by spokeswoman Liz Harrington on Twitter, former president Donald Trump on Thursday afternoon appeared to take aim at associates who've given interviews to authors of several new damning books about his administration. "Nobody had ever heard of some of these people that worked for me in D.C.," Trump wrote. "All of a sudden, the Fake News starts calling them. Some of them — by no means all — felt emboldened, brave, and for the first time in their lives, they feel like 'something special,' not the losers that they are — and they talk, talk, talk! "Many say I am the greatest star-maker of all time," Trump added. "But some of the stars I produced are actually made of garbage."

awesome we are lower again and for the first time since god knows when the Interlakes have more cases than we do

more lol "Last month, Senate Energy Committee Chair Joe Manchin defended the continued burning of coal in remarks delivered to the annual conference of the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), a top trade association of electric utilities. Sen. Manchin expressed skepticism about the Biden administration’s goals to halve greenhouse gas emissions from their 2005 levels by 2030, a policy target for which there are still no binding laws. In the current Congress, Manchin’s vote would almost certainly be necessary for the Senate to approve plans to reduce polluting emissions, which would require a clean-energy transition for the coal industry of West Virginia. Manchin earns hundreds of thousands of dollars each year through coal sales to power plants that supply Edison Electric Institute member companies. His family company, Enersystems, is a contractor of American Bituminous Power Partners (AmBit), a coal power plant located near Grant Town, W.V. that provides energy to Monogahela Power Company, according to documents from the West Virginia Public Services Commission (PSC)." but worries about the filibuster🙄

Here is an excellent thread on why one should be very skeptical of the story Welcome aboard! Yeah, that is pretty much it. Why would they change anything if they are enriching themselves at any cost (not to them) with absolutely no consequences.

My guess he's also getting some 'guidance and support' from people in his inner circle that helps facilitate this rationale.

Yea well socialism communism bad.

answer is no: "Those easy wins don't necessarily have huge impacts on the market today," Fawcett said. "He is definitely backing off taking drastic action that would rock the market. ... What you're going to see is U.S. oil production is going to continue to rebound." "Gas and oil production will continue well into the future and we believe that is the reality of our economy and the world we're living in," Haaland told Colorado Republicans. in December, Trump's last full month in office, agency officials approved more than 800 permits—far more than any prior month during his presidency. The pace dropped when Biden first took office, under a temporary order that elevated permit reviews to senior administration officials. Approvals have since rebounded to a level that exceeds monthly numbers seen through most of Trump's presidency." phys.org. wouldnt want to "rock the market "now would we. lol. the truth finally dawned on me. the top economic group on the planet will be unaffected by climate change. they can buy their way out of all of the consequences. therefore, they dont actually care about it other than to say they do, and wont do what is necessary. they will be fine. we wont.

Everyone in the world know this and it's just a matter of time before the world finds out what it is

Also: Top General Feared Trump Would Use Military To Stay In Power, Compared Him To Nazis: Book Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was deeply worried that then-President Donald Trump would refuse to leave the White House and warned colleagues he was afraid the man would try to use the military to stay in office, according to book excerpts published Wednesday. Milley, the nation’s top military officer, also compared Trump’s actions to the rise of Adolf Hitler, saying he viewed the president as a “classic authoritarian leader with nothing to lose” after Democratic rival Joe Biden won the 2020 election by more than 7 million votes, CNN and The Washington Post reported. “This is a Reichstag moment,” Milley told aides in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. “The gospel of the Führer.” The excerpts are from the forthcoming book “I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year,” written by Washington Post reporters Carol D. Leonnig and Philip Rucker, which is due out July 20. It chronicles the former president’s final year in office and includes several revelations about the chaotic waning days of his tenure. The pair said they interviewed more than 140 people, many of whom had requested anonymity so they could speak candidly about their experiences. Top General Feared Trump Would Use Military To Stay In Power, Compared Him To Nazis: Book | HuffPost ‘This guy’s crazy’: New book claims Nancy Pelosi feared Trump would launch a nuclear attack during his final weeks in office During his four years in the White House, paleoconservatives applauded former President Donald Trump for having an "America first" foreign policy they considered more isolationist and less hawkish than President George W. Bush or President Barack Obama. And when Trump supporters used the word "neocon" to describe Bush-era Republicans, they certainly didn't mean it as a compliment. But according to Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi feared that Trump would launch some type of nuclear attack during his final months in the White House. This revelation comes from Leonnig and Rucker's new book, "I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year," due out January 20 on Amazon. Pelosi, according to the book, shared her fears with Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and told him, "This guy's crazy. He's dangerous. He's a maniac." Milley, in response, told Pelosi, "Mam, I guarantee you that we have checks and balances in the system." ‘This guy’s crazy’: New book claims Nancy Pelosi feared Trump would launch a nuclear attack during his final weeks in office - Alternet.org

This is a shock- that a PC would have a conscience and a backbone.

It was nice to see Darvin punk that guy

lol Biden. just another phoney. "Flying in the face of the White House's reference to the climate crisis as an "existential threat" and President Joe Biden's campaign pledge, his administration has so far approved fossil fuel drilling permits on public and tribal lands at a faster rate than his two immediate predecessors, a new Associated Press analysis has found. "We’re not only subsidizing the climate and ecological crisis," climate activist Greta Thunberg tweeted in response to the new reporting, "we're speeding it up." With over 2,100 permits approved in the first six months of the year, the AP's analysis of government data found, and if the current trend holds, the number approved by the Interior Department by the year could hit near 6,000—a figure not seen since fiscal year 2008." deb Haalaund, in charge of this dpt. was celebrated as a great choice for the environment. 😅 and these are the "good guys". we are hooped.

Libraries open! **** yeah!

Should have got it in the arm then.....

There was a lot going on and far too much inconsistency. If any semblance of all this remains in September, we will see more early retirements.

Those dastardly Als!

Yeah there was a lack of transparency around where cases were coming from. Schools weren't the only ones not being discussed. I know there was an outbreak in the Police Department which was kept quite (for good reason I believe) and in the 911 call centre too.

I have mixed feelings about this, but if increased revenue will allow teams to field better players and become more financially viable so that we don't stagger from one crisis of ownership to another, I think I can live with it. It might even bring a higher profile to the league and get more butts in seats. Everything costs something.

Lol . If nothing else the guy is consistent. In his mind everything comes down to money .I wonder if his kids were/are restricted to 2 squares of TP.

Yes but it is a homo sapien thing. Take a look at the history of Japan in Korea.Or in China. Rome , The middle East or Africa. We happen to live in a place and in a time the sees the ugly result of European colonization. Agreed 👍

Yea...a Harris decline would suck, but realistically it is a very easily solved problem. I want AH to get 2000 yards from scrimmage but I would also take it by committee if need be or have a third of it go elsewhere in the offence with an American giving us 1200-1400 yards combined. With our OL any RB we put behind them is going for 1000 yards in an 18 game schedule....get one that can catch a few balls out of the backfield as well and we are alright. I feel that Demski would just start seeing a lot more action in the short game and we would not lose a beat.

On my way to explosive diarrhea.
