  1. I don't get the idea of McGuire as a runner, he was always looked upon as a gunslinger with a good arm and good pocket presence. He has a quick release so why not lots of play action and quick outs to beat the blitz.

    I understand your frustration but if having these restrictions on me saves even a few lives, I will put up with it. The anti-vaxxers are being irresponsible about their obligations as a member of society, so that leaves it up to the rest of us to be adults and lead by example.

  4. He showed an ability to use his legs in preseason in 2019. He ain't streveler in terms of running but he can move if he has to. To me it's his pocket presence that stood out, and a big arm.

    We were abysmal for the first year or slightly less of the pandemic. Refusing mask mandates, criticizing doctors, making cuts to health care. Spending public money last summer to encourage large events and tourism (half a year before people would start getting vaccinated). We basically had a victory parade before each wave of the pandemic because "we are not like other jurisdictions" in the words of Pallister. We fought bringing in restrictions and then blamed people for not taking extra steps that were suggested, but not mandated by the province. People lost their lives and some their livelihoods because we kept hoping our province was immune to pandemic waves for some reason. We've since allowed for more input from medical professionals and taken a more cautious route with more foresight. Taking the lead with vaccine requirements has been great. I think we have tried to walk the line between trying to make things as close to normal as possible for vaccinated people, which I think is the best way to go. The unvaccinated (by choice) should be bearing the brunt of restrictions. They've had their time flouting restrictions, now is their time to take responsibility. We haven't been perfect, we've still flirted with removing mask mandates while fighting with medical professionals and the city of Winnipeg. PC MLAs have done a piss-poor job showing leadership by posting photos at gatherings without masks. Our health minister is a joke. Compared to ideal pandemic leadership we are still bad. Compared to conservative governments in the two provinces to the west of us - we look pretty decent recently.

    Actually I'd say the current government is a mixed bag. The vaccine passports and the current restrictions have been pretty good. The current waiting and allowing things to get out of control in Southern Health to the point it may impact the entire province is not. Waiting and dithering while this happened as they have done twice before not good. I didn't say shut down but some enforcement and tough love in these areas is needed and was needed before.

    So the gun just magically appeared in his hands? Pretty sure there's words from his own mouth in the trial that he was there to protect property. Get your head outta your ass, the guy went looking for trouble and you gotta be some kind of ignorant to not see that. Like I said, at best he is a vigilante... and that's not a good thing. Guys like that don't get to take the law into their own hands. That video is made with a bias, but you have to consider that there is truth in some of that. why on earth do people defend human trash like this? You can hold the position that rioters and the people who go there to "police" them and wind up killing them are trash too. Guy murdered 2 people and wounded a third. Why defend him?

    He only needed to exert that right to self defence because of his own actions! You really are missing the entire point. Yes he will walk on those charges, but only because the US holds their right to self defense so dear. Doesn't mean he isn't a murdering piece of ****. Let me guess, your side of the story is entirely framed by the right wing media trying to make this double into some kind of martyr.

  31. My grandfather planted plenty of elm trees in his day. But now we have that bloody dutch elm disease I spend plenty of time in the bush. The wild elm trees get to a certain size and then start dying out, just like clock work But at least we still have younger elm growing. Now I see the same thing happening with ash. Big beautiful trees being destroyed by the ash beetle But so far, poplar, oak and maple appear to be as resilient as a ever.

    Yes, plenty of criticism is warranted when it comes to the government approach... But to say it was abysmal right from the start, is inaccurate. In the spring of 2020 when it all started - I fail to see what they could have done differently The entire province was shut down and all schools were closed. The lead doctors were dithering about masks - you couldn't expect politicians to mandate them at that point

    Typical case of projection. You're the ignorant one. "Pretty sure there's words from his own mouth in the trial that he was there to protect property." Here is an interview of Kyle Rittenhouse by Richie McGinniss on why he was there that evening. Richie McGinniss: What are you doing out here, obviously you're armed and your in front of this building we saw burning last night so what's up? Kyle Rittenhouse: People are getting injured and our job is to protect his business and part of my job is also helping people, if there's somebody hurt, I'm running into harms way, that's why I have my rifle because I can protect myself. I also have my med kit. I apologize, I forgot that protecting property is a crime. I forgot that deterring the rioters from burning down a building is a crime. I apologize, I forgot that trying to stop rioters from burning down a building makes you a POS. I also forgot that bringing a med kit and trying to help the injured is "looking for trouble" lol so dumb... There is ZERO evidence that Kyle was there "looking for trouble". In fact there is evidence that he was there for the exact opposite. Kyle Rittenhouse according to the multiple videos and multiple witnesses, was entirely peaceful the whole night. He literally spent the night putting out fires and helping injured people. We have video evidence of this. At no point was he aggressive or threatening people. If you have any evidence of this, I would love to see it. There is a lot of evidence that Joseph Rosenbaum was there "looking for trouble". He was threatening people, starting fires and causing trouble all night. There is also witness and video evidence of this. But again you don't care about the facts. Your problem with Kyle is that he had a gun. (Which he got in Kenosha and didn't "cross state lines" with.) That's it. That's what has triggered you. Here are some facts that you are conveniently ignoring: If Joseph Rosenbaum does not stalk, chase and then attack Kyle Rittenhouse no one would have been killed. Kyle Rittenhouse was running away. How is someone who is running away considered "looking for trouble". Give me a break. After Roenbaum is shot, Kyle turns and starts running away from the mob. He is running to the police. We know he was trying to get to the police because there is a video of him saying, I'm trying to go to the police. That video was taken by Gaige Grosskreutz. So Gaige Grosskreutz KNEW he was trying to get to the police. If Anthony Huber does not attack Kyle by cracking him in the head for a second time, with a skateboard, while Kyle is lying on his back, and grab his gun, Huber does not get killed. By the way, it was Anthony Huber who cracked Kyle in the head the first time, while he was running towards the police. It was that blow that eventually caused him to stumble and fall, which left Kyle in this vulnerable position sitting on the ground. If Gaige Grosskreutz doesn't move in on Kyle who is in a defenceless position, and point his gun at Kyle's head, Grosskreutz doesn't get shot. The only people that got shot that night were people who initiated the attack! That's a fact. Kyle Rittenhouse attacked ZERO people! But go ahead, ignore all of the facts and let your emotions run away with you. lol. You live in a pseudo reality. Sad.

    I agree there were alot of issues to start. As far as ideal leadership, it hasn't existed in any provinces. I was upset with the Trudeau government's bungling of procuring/ producing of vaccines at the start. But I will swallow my utter dislike of him and say they have done well since. I'm not a fan of our current provincial government but I will say the same for them. Not good to start but have done pretty well since.

    This video is ridiculous. lol You should be embarrassed. 😅😂 Forget about the facts...just use emotionally charged rhetoric and mention Trump...and there's your argument. lol The prosecutions argument in this video about Kyle having the AR15 and Gaige having the hand gun was one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard. Gaige was moving towards Kyle, faked having his hands up and then proceeded towards him again, but this time with the weapon aimed at his head. This all happened within the span of seconds. Kyle had a gun aimed at his head and feared for his life. Kyle did not fire until Gaige moved closer and had the gun pointed at his head. (This was admitted my Gaige himself.) Clearly grounds for self defence. The fact that you can see Kyle's reaction and think that is somehow fake is sad. The kid clearly had a panic attack. It was real and I saw it live. My goodness the reaction by these people to Kyles tears and emotional breakdown is just gross. People have really lost their humanity. Oh and by the way, the judge isn't biased. He is considering a mistrial with prejudice because the prosecution broke a major rule, not once, but twice. There are those who are speculating, namely the defence, that the prosecution broke these rules on purpose to get a mistrial. He wants a mistrial because this trial has gone so bad for him that he wants to start over. The prosecution is not acting in good faith.

    Like I said, you know nothing of the facts. He did not travel to the area with weapons. He did not travel there for the express purpose of "protecting property" and he wasn't "a guy looking for trouble". Unlike the rioters who travelled there to burn down property. He travelled to Kenosha because he works there as a lifeguard. After his job he went to a local school to clean up graffiti left by the rioters. It was after all of that, that he went to a car dealership to help keep the rioters away. The rioters burned down the other car dealership and every car in the lot the previous night, so the owners asked for help to keep the rioters away. However, Kyle was there as a medic as was seen helping in this capacity. Kyle literally spent the whole night putting out fires and helping people with injuries. I shouldn't have to point this out, but the people burning down the buildings are the bad guys, not the ones protecting them. "The issue is the guy put himself in that situation." lol And a woman who wears a short skirt and gets raped, put herself in that position right? Nonsense. "What happened after that isn't really the crux of the issue." Nope, the crux of the issue is that those 3 people attacked Kyle unprovoked and Kyle acted in self defence. You have no clue what you are talking about.

  38. Not me. This game is all about getting 12 some live fire and seeing what he's made of. If we need a dagger drive or a comeback drive in the 4Q I want to see McGuire in there, figure out if he can deliver the goods when the chips are down. Saturday forecast in mtl is cloudy and 10C with no rain .... pretty clean conditions for November ... so SMc looks to have some nice weather to work in.

    I agree that we probably shouldn't be able to say no to healthcare. Doctors Manitoba has asked the province to develop triage protocols. I wouldn't have an issue with unvaccinated Covid patients (without a legit exemption) being put at the back of the line for health care. Ideally we would have the capacity to provide treatment to all, but there have been non-Covid patients dying in hospital when there was suitable precautions that others could have taken (a vaccine). In other words, people deciding to be unvaccinated has directly led to the death of non-Covid patients in the hospital. I believe I have already read that there are cases where vaccinated people are being given priority for transplants. https://globalnews.ca/news/7887756/doctors-manitoba-triage-protocols-covid-19/
