West: Bombers Don't care Don't care Don't care Don't care East: Don't care Don't care Don't care Don't care

The Bombers offense will be on the field for 45 minutes a game. We don't even need a defense.

Don't appreciate people harshing on my mallow when I can't remember ever being so excited about a Bomber QB recruit.

And I watched Greene throw about 1000.

Nealon Greene never showed that kind of touch. I cannot emphasize the touch enough, apparently.

I for one am thrilled that the Blue Bombers have their own version of Alejandro Kirk.

It's the touch, baby! Watch those passes on a loop til you pass out.

I know it's way too early to say, but Pigrome looks like something special. Touch of Ricky Ray, speed of no quarterback I can remember and the determination of Dunigan/Streveler. Brown might not be number 2 by the end of the season. I think it was Matt Cole (6?) who really jumped out for me with his sure tackling, but I've had quite a few rye's by now. Nice game by Agudosi even though we didn't get to utilize his height.

So what did Danielle offer Suncor to delay this announcement until after the election? Suncor to slash 1,500 jobs amid cost-cutting plan New CEO aims to find $400 million in cost savings at all levels of company Kyle Bakx · CBC News · Posted: Jun 01, 2023 5:27 PM CDT | Last Updated: June 1 Suncor Energy will eliminate 1,500 positions as the company's new chief executive announced an immediate plan to cut costs by $400 million by the end of this year. Rich Kruger notified staff about the plan on Thursday in an email, describing how the company needs to reduce its staffing costs related to its competitors in the oilpatch. Images of Kruger's email were shared with CBC News by employees at the company. "Staffing reductions will occur at all levels of the organization and will be based on both performance and business need. As we do this, we will eliminate work, critically looking at what we do, why we do it, how we do it and the value it adds," Kruger told staff in the message. "I assure you that decisions like these, that affect people and their lives, are not easy to make or taken lightly. However, at this time, they are necessary to ensure the ongoing competitiveness of our company," he said. In an interview with CBC News last month following the company's annual general meeting, Kruger didn't rule out job cuts, but said there were other ways of reducing costs besides layoffs. Kruger became CEO on April 3, pledging to transform the company into a "simpler and more focused organization" under his leadership. In an emailed statement, spokesperson Sneh Seetal did not provide any additional details. "Suncor is always looking for opportunities to drive value and improve performance in our business, cost reduction is one of those opportunities," she said. The company had 16,558 full- and part-time employees at the end of 2022, which was a decrease from 16,922 one year prior, according to company documents. About 60 per cent of Suncor's employees are connected to its oilsands operations. In February, Suncor announced it earned $2.74 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, a 76-per-cent increase from the $1.55 billion it earned in the same three months of 2021. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/bakx-suncor-jobs-layoffs-1.6862758

It cannot be lost that the "wanting to be helped" is part of the process in regards to breaking addiction. Hardly anyone is successful quitting anything cold turkey. When you allow resources to build relationships with addicts, only then can the addict understand how to ask for and get help.

Also, confusing groupthink with democracy (majority rules) is not compatible with critical thought.

Hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! The guy who is 100% behind a party using lies and conspiracy theories to oust his hate/crush accuses other people of voting blindly. Tell me how a party that has been willfully lying and misleading you since the last election is suddenly going to be honest to you IF they form government. How can people be so naive? Gawd no.

So slavery should have continued in the South because the "vast majority of people" thought it was good. It's easy to govern ignorantly for the ignorant, but the arguments don't hold up when challenged with research, facts and human rights.

They are human beings. Period.

The book is excellent as well. Greatly looking forward to seeing this important story on the screen. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER o A twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history, from the author of The Wager and The Lost City of Z, "one of the preeminent adventure and true-crime writers working today."--New York Magazine o NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST o SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE "A shocking whodunit...What more could fans of true-crime thrillers ask?"--USA Today "A masterful work of literary journalism crafted with the urgency of a mystery." --The Boston Globe In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.

The National Post is a brain-eating disease.

It says a lot about your respect for truth and democracy that you would consider that a win.

Desperate idiots who are incapable of discussing real issues or policy.

It’s difficult to say if Poilievre’s popularity will survive the rough and tumble of daily politics until the next election is called. (He declined repeated requests to be interviewed for this article.) But, whether or not he becomes prime minister, he is clearly tapping into a populist fervour that has been a major force around the world. Urban progressives are inclined to assume the governing consensus in Ottawa, which prioritizes their ideas of diversity and inclusion, will continue indefinitely. Poilievre’s rise challenges that. There are now two Canadas eyeing each other with reciprocal contempt. Researchers call this affective polarization: voters with opposing ideologies harden in their views and become less tolerant and respectful of one another. It means fewer points of compromise are possible, and debates become demonizing, resentment driven, conspiracy fuelled. A key component of authoritarian populism, this polarization is now central to our political life, and Poilievre is harnessing it. A very good article: https://thewalrus.ca/pierre-poilievre-the-secret-to-his-success/

There are not. Let's talk about Jeff Ballingall, who PeePee has hired hired to "work" for him. Jeff Ballingall of Canada Proud and all the other BSProud "groups". Conspiracies are their strategy. The non-profit news organization PressProgress has criticized the “Proud” groups for promoting false information and other conduct. In 2020, PressProgress reported how BC Proud asked its Facebook followers if the “police did the right thing” in during the incident leading to the police officer involved shooting death in New Brunswick of 26 year-old indigenous woman Chantel Moore.8 In 2020, PressProgress reported that Canada Proud was falsely claiming that the federal government had banned Remembrance Day ceremonies.9 In 2021, PressProgress reported of Canada Proud claimed that COVID-19 vaccines were being distributed according to “skin colour.”10 Like I said, best to ignore people who share and promote the conspiracies. https://www.desmog.com/canada-proud/

The leader of the Opposition is a conspiracy theorist. Best to ignore him or anyone repeating his conspiracies.

Punting position up in the air Friday night match against Roughriders final audition for trio of kickers By: Taylor AllenPosted: 5:00 PM CDT Wednesday, May. 31, 2023 The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are still struggling to solve their punting situation after 18 days of training camp and a pre-season game. If anything, things are more complicated than ever as Global punters Jamieson Sheahan and Karl Schmitz both impressed in last Saturday’s exhibition game at Commonwealth Stadium against the Edmonton Elks. The pair had four punts each, with Sheahan’s going for an average of 48.3 yards per kick and Schmitz’s travelling 49.5 yards. Canadian Marc Liegghio, the team’s punter the past two seasons, sat out the Edmonton game but will get a chance to show his stuff on Friday at IG Field against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the preseason finale. Head coach Mike O’Shea admitted Wednesday this has been one of the most challenging position battles to judge in quite some time. He was asked what the deciding factor is going to be. “I don’t know yet. At some point I’ll know what that factor even is, but I don’t know yet,” said O’Shea, who also added they’re still trying to figure out how they’re going to split the reps between the specialists on Friday. “They’re all good, they’re all great guys, they all fit. There’s the numbers, style, and gut (feeling). It’ll just come down to that, probably.” At 36 years old, the Bermuda-born Schmitz is the best story of the group. Saturday was his first game action since Aug. 24, 2015, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave him a look in a preseason contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Schmitz struck his third punt in Edmonton almost perfectly as it hit an opponent’s foot at the two-yard line before taking a strange bounce into the end zone and out of bounds for a single. “As much as you prepare and practise, there’s nothing like that game experience. Fortunately for me, it was just like riding a bike again,” said Schmitz, who was chosen in the second round of the 2023 CFL Global Draft. Sheahan, who hails from Australia, was chosen in the first. “There’s really nothing too complicated about punting. You just make sure you’re limber and you keep it as simple as possible and you let the hours and hours of training take its course and then you just live with the result.” O’Shea has been adamant throughout camp that age will not play a factor into the decision. “He can pound the ball. It just comes off his leg so well. He is obviously in impeccable shape. He takes care of his body and practises his craft, it’s pretty neat,” said O’Shea. “I don’t put a lot of stock into age, especially at that position, because we’ve all witnessed Lui Passaglia, Bob Cameron, Troy (Westwood), Trevor (Kennerd), like all these guys kicked for a long time.” While he won’t admit it, there’s more pressure on Liegghio now than ever before. With Sheahan and Schmitz proving they can get the job done, Liegghio needs a strong showing Friday or else it could be his final game in blue and gold. “You feel it’s your job and that’s what I’m thinking going into this game. I’m just going to continue doing what I’m doing,” said Liegghio. “I feel comfortable. This is my third year here now and I’ve got the lay of the land and everything. I’m just going to go out there, do my thing, and not really think about anything else.” This is Liegghio’s first training camp where he’s had to scratch and claw to make the roster. His Canadian passport, and the fact he can also kick field goals if something were to happen to Sergio Castillo or Chandler Staton, could end up giving the 26-year-old the edge over the Global legs. “He came out on the first day and had to make a couple adjustments, but he’s been spot on since,” said O’Shea when asked what he’s seen from Liegghio. While most veterans dread training camp, Schmitz has been all smiles. After years of training and attending kicking camps to no avail, the 6-4 Schmitz couldn’t be happier just to be in the mix for his dream job. “It’s really out of my hands, so as long as I just do my job and let the rest play out as it does then I’m happy with the result,” he said. taylor.allen@freepress.mb.ca
