    Covid-19

    The variants are definitely more contagious. Even gatherings outdoors, they recommend masks now, along with social distancing.
  2. The Liberals don't care about the CFL. They just don't but they do care about things like heritage that makes them sound good and caring. No one wants to be the gov't that helped take down the CFL, even if they don't care. It's bad, bad optics. That's why, if you can come with a plan, they'll probably accept it. Eventually, the plan won't work out and the gov't will need to write off the debt. But, for now, we would have football. Another problem we have is that they don't like to support professional sports. Getting money out of the Feds for sports that are recreational or professional is very, very challenging. Stuff like Canada Summer Games, which has a funding formula, is pretty easy, relative to the pros. There's not really a department for it. They'll support the Canada Games but not the World Police and Fire Games. And, yes, I know that there are lots of examples of where the Feds have ponied up money for the pros but, unless, Quebec suddenly falls in love with the CFL or they make a darn good pitch, don't expect Fed money.
  3. I'm sure TSN is still determining if the Raptors parade route will work for the Leafs or if they should be planning a cross-country parade/caravan.
  4. It's less that and more of: if you're coming for help from the gov't, you better have a freakin' plan. There is no way, at the best of times, that gov't has the capacity to build a plan for you, never mind during the biggest global crisis in almost 80 years, if you want gov't assistance. You need a plan that makes sense. They will pick it apart, no doubt, but start with that and you work from there. That's what they told them at the time. The only way that is reversed is when gov't has an idea and they reach out to an organization or business to get it done. Like with that youth employment ****ing disaster from last spring that the Liberals just messed up everywhere on. Then you get the gov't analysts working on a plan for you. And, from experience, it's probably not going to be a good one because gov't is deciding what you need based on what they want.
  5. Me: I don't want Chevy to mortgage the future on some depth D that probably won't work out. Also me: I'm bored, Do something, Chevy!
  6. That's a fair price.
  7. Yeah, I would love for them to add a top-4 d but not at the prices quoted. No first rounder, please. Plus, I don't think that there is really enough time to bring in a d and have them settle. It's too late in the season, especially after a 7 day quarantine. I don't want them giving up anyone like Samberg or Heinola. They've been playing in the AHL, getting accustomed to the speed and physicality of the pro game. Get them up and let them play. Niku can go but he has little value on the market.
  8. Wow, a lost season and they're going to make the Canucks play it out. I certainly hope that there are no long term injuries caused by forcing them to play.
  9. Leafs were fleeced for a depth 3rd line winger. Good on them. Bruins steal Hall. I get he hasn't had the best season but he still has talent.

    Covid-19

    Regardless of how slow things have been to get going, we're still on pace to get everyone a shot by the end of June. That's great news.
  13. That's one less bunk to fill.
  14. Yeah, not sure who's leading who at this point. Fox is a money loser and is only around to drive the alt-right agenda. That's it. Just like Sinclair, it's uber rich people controlling the narrative.

    Covid-19

    The UoS info is updated at a certain point in time and I suspect they were just behind. Kives was live-tweeting the update.
  16. Nope. Newfoundland. Manitoba has never won one.

  18. I doubt it. The season, if we get anything, will be short and the pay won't be good. I bet these players have made the decision based on their careers outside football. They're done.

    I put all my tickets into the PS5 draw. #Priorities

    Covid-19

    They're only concerned with the ICU. As long as the ICU numbers remain lower, they won't lock anything further down. Then, when it's really bad, they'll wag their fingers again and shut things down.

    60 and older, get your shots! 40 and older for indigenous.
  22. Your daily reminder that TSN has a financial interest in pumping a CFL-XFL merger.
  23. I guess poor people just lack responsibility, right? Must be that they choose to be poor and uneducated. I guess poor people just lack responsibility, right? Must be that they choose to be poor and uneducated. The criminal justice system is designed to punish and not to rehabilitate. Simply locking someone up is not going to change their behaviour.
  24. They are terrorists.
