Most definitely in Coutts. "Coutts is also located in one of the most intransigent regions of Alberta. It is a part of the province long settled by religious minorities escaping persecution, Americans, cattle ranchers and rural folk who have more time for their neighbours than far-off governments. This has always been a hot-bed for distrust in official narratives and public-health guidelines: Whooping Cough is now endemic to the region and doctors fear the return of rubella thanks to lagging vaccination rates — and all of this was well before COVID came along." https://theline.substack.com/p/dispatch-from-the-coutts-front-god?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Some of the surnames popping up from the Emerson blockade support your suspicion as well.

Ford is pretty much a disaster too. Kenney makes him look like Churchill in comparison.

I cannot trust this decision when the March 15 date is arbitrary. Shouldn't the announcement also provide an avenue for delay if hospitalization numbers aren't reduced to a specific number in terms of 7-day averages?

The organizers, actually.

Way too long to be a mini-rant.

I don't think Jake Thomas will ever leave. After that, Stanley Bryant.

Depending on the per game incentives, that really messes with the budget in terms of certainty, though. I'm going to guess that some of the leftovers can be swayed with the idea that there is playoff money to be had in Winnipeg.

I think his other tweet better reflects what he's trying to say. It's the personal connections he'll miss - but it's not like he's never left a team himself before. He'll be ok.

Not going to bash any players who make a decision to (or are forced to) leave the Bombers. Careers are short, money is money, cold is cold, opportunities abound etc. Just happy that they delivered back to back championships and I wish them all well. I still like the ones that stay more, though.

We'll know when Go Fund Me releases its donor list.

Pierre has even less real-life work experience than Scheer from what I understand.

This is an ER doctor in Toronto.

I'd argue that many, many Canadians are sick of white men f***ing everything up and are chomping at the bit to vote for a competent woman. If ALBERTA can have a female premier, I think Canada is more than ready and willing to have a female PM. As for Ambrose, I do believe she was a temporary leader and therefore prevented from being selected as the PC leader at the leadership convention. Same applies (Thank Dog) to Bergen.

Chantelle Hebert called it on the National last night. (I'm paraphrasing) "The CPC are no longer a political party, they are a protest movement".

The truckers who do show up are just useful idiots. "In political jargon, a useful idiot is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders."

They don't even try to be subtle about it since Trump.

It's the crackpots in the yellow dog ridings that drag the CPC down the most. Not satisfied with elected crackpots, Harper appointed Denise Batters and Don Plett to the Senate. There is no bottom.

Projection is the new GoTo strategy of the Right.

Gotta go back!

It's an absolute no-brainer. Falk, Genuis, Cooper etc. should all be given the boot by the party and prevented from running again.

Not a good comparison. Under Harper, MP's could not even do interviews. You don't see that happening now.

Genuis was pissed that it was voted for in his absence (he was in Latvia) and started stirring the pot upon his return. I would guess a lot of that 92% held their noses when they supported the bill. The rest like Ted Falk just hate transgenders.

Except that Trudeau allows other members of his party to speak freely because they're not all a bunch of backwoods idiots.
