  1. Just going from memory, he was BLMs favourite target.
  2. No FGs or Extra points. MOS has listened to MBB and it's going for it on third down and 2 point conversions from here on!
  3. Their Russian handlers are going to be pissed if they can't keep their stories straight.
  4. Well, I wouldn't call it a complete DB overhaul. Probably vets taking a day. Let's see if Streveler practices this week but we really only need him in three weeks from now.
  5. He was suspended for taking a weapon and hitting a player. Shocking that he only got one game and didn't get ejected. But, the CFL, is going to CFL.
  6. They're not asked to take shots, they just don't get rid of the ball soon enough.
  7. It plays well to the base and stirs anti-Ottawa sentiment.
  8. Oh, geez...
  9. It's Andrew Harris bobblehead night this Friday. Likely our last home game of the year, so drink up! Don't forget to bring a tin for the bin. Please insert anger, disappointment and frustration below
  10. I notice it's colder outside since he was suspended. So, not only are the Bombers doing worse, his suspension has made it colder. He says he's working to have the sample tested. That takes a while but no recent updates.
  11. It's bad enough when external forces are working against you but it's outrageous when your fellow countrymen, who rely on your economic contributions, do the same.
  12. Being plugged into a ship. Presumably, it's terminal.
  13. But we knew that he was in this one. The Ghost is interesting because it blends another story line.
  14. The NDP actually got more votes in 2019 than they did in 2015, although a lower overall percentage. But, the right was split in 2015. You're not going to change that many minds. The Right is entrenched.
  15. I'm not sure about that. The leadership campaign exposed Bernier for who he was. I couldn't see him consolidating power in the CPC. Sheer's in a good place only because the campaign was so terrible. He should survive to see another team around him. Re: Singh. The only polls that matters closed last night. He wasn't so popular there. Interesting that minority gov't might save Trudeau. The Libs won't want to a full-fledged leadership review and campaign while holding a minority gov't. They desperately need to remove him but I can't see how they will.
  16. Yes, I was twenty something and it's as much about the event as the movie. Attack was much better and Sith was better than that.
  17. Putting this here so that we don't overwhelm the Movie thread. Rebels fans, there's a special guest appearance by the Ghost in this trailer. 1:01 in on the right hand side, behind the Falcon.
  18. I don't he will. He won the "popular" vote (Hilary says, "hi") and I think he'll survive the next leadership review in a year. I think the CPC should be very disappointed in the outcome but can look at their own failed strategies during the election. Sheer needs to grow, he needs to mature. And, presumably, he can do that.
  19. This makes no sense (as usual). Poor me attitude, whine. 80 seats represents around half of their overall seat count. They took two-thirds of the largest province that represents more than a third of the overall seat count in parliament. Ontario will always play a huge role in how this country is governed. Just watch the Rebel's coverage in reverse. You'll see a mixed bag from BC, then blue across Alberta and Saskatchewan, mixed in Manitoba, primarily red in Ontario and then red/light blue in Quebec, followed by mostly red in Atlantic provinces. Feel better?
  20. Some reflections from last night, cause I'm into this stuff... The Marijuana Party still exists. I'm not sure why? Both Max Berniers lost. I hope we don't see much from the PPC again. They got served last night. I can't believe how much air time they got throughout the campaign. Yuck. Steven Fletcher. What a miserable SOB who has no interest in governing, just settling scores. Good riddance. The Greens are currently dead. With climate change moving to the middle, I don't really see where they fit into the landscape? They're too "out there" on some issues with some truly wacky candidates. May needs to move on. If you're Green and you can't ride the climate change wave, what are you doing? Singh was by far the most impressive during the campaign but that meant very little in votes and less in seats. I have to wonder what will happen to Singh now? There was a time when people thought the world of May but she never translated that into actual wins - is Singh going to suffer the same fate? Raitt/Goodale. We lost two great parliamentarians. The voters spoke. Where is Rona? The CPC would be forming government if she were the leader. Bergen re-elected? That's a surprise! Just kidding. JWR - good for her. I wish she were still in gov't and the PM were not. Philpot. It's too bad she couldn't hold onto her seat. She could have added another voice of reason. Butts gets another term as PM. The Bloc is back. Ashton holds her seat. That family lives off the gov't teat.
  21. Side note, nice to see Robert-Falcon Ouellette lose. What a disappointing politician he's been. Remember when people were excited about his mayoral run? That seems like a lifetime ago.
  22. You're wrong about the NDP. They cannot run another election, so they'll have to prop up this gov't even when they don't want to. They are weak. I think the Liberals will be satisfied with their climate change plan from their first term and doubt we'll see much beyond planting trees. The other area we'll probably see investment is in green science and some infrastructure. I doubt we'll see much on Pharmacare. UCC is dead right now. And, they won't bail out the Province's on student debt, which is likely to rise with all the cuts we're seeing to post-secondary education.
  23. Yeah, but Singh is weakened. Despite all the platitudes about how well he was doing, he lost support. The NDP are in a weak state. I don't see any big agendas that they can push. They actually need the Liberals more than the Libs need them.
  24. I've got tickets for Saturday too. I've always gone to opening night with my friends, even in Australia for opening night of The Attack of the Clones. But, I have a nine year old son who I'll take on Saturday.
