Love those wallpapers but it's going to take something special to replace this on my desktop...

Jesus, how small is your monitor?!

I don't think it is a bad thing to aspire to have the leaders of our country to be more than simply "they are better than what is on the right". I would like to see leadership in any party that can inspire the population and build trust across historical party lines. A foolish dream? Perhaps. But this country is starting to become more and more divided. And something needs to be done to start uniting the population or we will cease to be a country.

We didn't have a coverage capable safety for most of the year last year. Rose's play became exponentially better after Alexander came back and that should surprise no one as without safety help life on the boundary can be real tough.

Rosie!

Just noticed the kickoff for Labour Day is 5 pm Regina time... ...How the hell am I supposed to stay sober for that long?!

The "J" doesn't stand for Jesus. It's about 3" by 2" but I'm told size doesn't matter.

I'm giving Rose the benefit of the doubt. Our secondary was a bit of a revolving door last season and he may have been trying to do too much. You factor in that he was hurt and never quite himself .. it's no wonder his play fell off. Late in the year you started to see him round into form. By that point, the backfield had settled down and he was likely healthier than he'd been at any point prior - again, just giving him the benefit of the doubt based on his previous level of play and how he flashed at times last season. That said, I expect competition and expect he'll be pushed to prove he's our solution our there.

no problem bringing him back... but I still see Lawrence and Houston ahead of him on the depth chart

Generalizations are rarely helpful, but sometimes accurate. Both Left and Right wings have extremists but nowhere have the Left wingers exhibited the propensity towards authoritarianism and violence that the right wingers have.

Every photo on his Instagram page is with the Bombers, no evidence he ever played for the Elks. https://www.instagram.com/bigplay_law/

Surprised Rose is back - but I'm not unhappy with it. He's not what he use to be, but veterans in the room are obviously important to have.

"... one spectrum's terrorist is more dangerous" One side of that spectrum is pretty prominent with attempted insurrections, mass shootings, mass car-mowing incidents and so and so on. You shouldn't make false equivalencies here- it's not helpful to the dialogue- which is limiting these threats and how to mitigate them. It's not speculative... you can literally find the stats on that. Here is a pretty good article on exactly that: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2021/domestic-terrorism-data/

Well.... as a Bombers fan....... that's good news......

I don't think excuses should be made for bad behaviour. It should be called out, and the fact "everyone is bad" shouldn't be an excuse. We also shouldn't lower our expectations because one party is worse or not criticize a party because they aren't "as bad". In the long term, a party who isn't subject to criticism and forced to answer questions on how they behave and their platform will regress and become something worse.

- a wallpaper for ants?

Speaking of Lawler's return, I am surprised there wasn't any chatter here about the instagram post of him picking up his new Infiiniti in Edmonton, wearing a pair of Bomber sweats. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fbigplay_law%2F&psig=AOvVaw2NQiWx0gPhEWJpOKs_2L-E&ust=1671120120545000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=2ahUKEwjYv8javfn7AhVFxeUKHSibAfAQ3YkBegQIABAN

I'm in favour of ranked ballots. That would be a better solution than a two-party system.

Nemo mihi narrat quod possum vel non possum.

that's a really great point and is a big deal for me. We were dogshit for so long... as far as I'm concerned, every other team can eat a bag of dicks for a good long time, while we sit on the top of the mountain drinking the good water.

Whatever this is, in Latin, I'm pretty sure that's the official motto of the Province Of Alberta....

Red Lights? Stop and yield signs? Turn signals? Speed limits? Defensive driving? Drive to the conditions? No one tells me what I can or cannot do. My freedoms don’t stop at your fears. Wake up!

Keep believing friend.

It might lead to apathy, but that statement is not wrong. There is a serious lack of quality politicians in this country. Too many warm bodies just to fill out ballots. Give you an example, provincial mla in my riding, ucp ****** canoe... only got to run because the candidate they chose initially opened her mouth and said problematic things so they had to bring in a guy they already rejected to run... he won because suburban calgary votes blue, and he had a rather unspectacular first term. Most notable thing he did was be vocal about the mental health impacts masking school kids had... but hey, now he is a minister! So no I am not trying to both sides this, but there are too many **** politicians in this county. None of Trudeau, Pollievre or Singh are inspiring choices and that is apparently the best each major national party can offer...

Rose, besides having the benefit of Alexander back, was playing with a 'lower body injury' ...(how vague can you get)....Seems he was playing with a broken bone in his foot...I think we see the ol' Rose back once he's a 100 percent...Glad he reupped

Thought Rose would a cap victim but solid addition. Would love to see Demski back soon. Baumming tweeted speculation that Jeffcoat will be back since he's on the promos for the 2023 schedule.

I also think that helps Canadian viewership too. There not more on TV on Sunday night during the summer.

I wonder if these guys are coming back at a cheaper deal on these one years to push hard for the cup again. Bring Lawler home!

Seatbelts? Government conspiracy to try to show they can control us! Winter Tires? Attempt by the tire industry to increase sales!

I wish he would have kept his promise to stop tweeting about the CFL. I assume the lack of a Hamilton games and a chance to play BLM and his new team is what has him upset. Well boohoo. We didn't get a home coming game for Harris last season, so I guess the league hates us too, using his logic.

Danny Austin is claiming the league doesn't care about CGY....because...their labour day game starts at 5pm. AND Hamilton doesn't come to CGY...I wish I was kidding. What an absolute joke. Know who doesn't care about CGY? ******* CGY

Covid has taught us this is not an exaggeration for some.

weird...I just want us to win, by any means necessary.......

I think I’m between the two comments here. On the one hand absolutely no matter what party, no matter what platform and ideology, lead with grace, humility, integrity and honesty. On the other hand, I find the argument everyone’s bad not productive. It feels like a what about argument deflecting away from the seriousness of the behaviour and at times deflecting to something that is no where near the seriousness of the original behaviour being discussed.

JFC... another 6 week gap between Home games in the middle of the summer. I'd be furious about this if I were even the faintest bit surprised by it.

The L's are literally betting on themselves to beat the Riders in week 1. It's a win-win situation for me... either the Riders lose or it's another Chris Jones disaster. https://3downnation.com/2022/12/13/edmonton-elks-launch-guaranteed-win-promotion-for-the-2023-season/

Everyone in a hurry to drop Rose, I told ya all he'd be starting unless he wanted an absurd amount of money.

Atrocious officiating as last night but the Jets were sloppy way too often and those Garbage Knights made them pay almost every time. I ******* despise that team.

I thought so too. But reffing consistency is a pipe dream.

Man, he’s been whiny lately.

Right before the Vegas empty net goal, Wheeler was interfered with going behind the goal to get the puck. That call gets made, it could have been a different story.

If Dave and Chris didn't sound great tonight, the issue wasn't them. Maybe it's something in house... Something with the gear.... But Dave and Chris can both sing VERY well, anthem or anything else. It's laughable to suggest otherwise.

I didn't want to quote your entire post, but as far just their credentials are concerned, there are not that many differences PC caucus Nursing: 1 Career Politician: 1 Doctor/Vet: 1 Military: 1 Teacher: 3 Business/Marketing: 1 Healthcare Administration: 1 Agriculture/Environment: 5 Social Services: 1 Community Advocate: 4 Small Business owner/Municipal politics: 8 Financial services: 4 Technology Development: 1 School Trustees: 2 Education Administration: 1 Journalism: 1 A Metis MLA, the First ever black MLA, etc. https://pcmanitoba.com/our-team/

So now you admit you had accomplices?

Not only that but BC & Calgary have had a really long stretch with above average QB's. They are more than welcome to take their turn having shi**y QB's like every other team has had to deal with.

Doc Walker wasn’t great tonight, but they aren’t anthem singers, Nattress is… And she is horrendous. Remember in the movie Dumb and Dumber when Jim Carrey’s character said, “You want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?” Then he rips off a nasally scream? I’d rather listen to that for 24 hours straight, than listen to Nattress sing an anthem.

Coach and gm on the hot Seay, no qb, **** ol... yeah no wonder no one wants that gig.
