  1. The majority of Rider fans... Most people prefer not to comment on stuff like this. Those who comment on a forum, will be in support of the team and the player. It's just the nature of fan forums. But that's not the majority of fans.
  2. Look - if you're going to keep posting this stuff - keep the hyperbole out of it. Or don't post.
  3. Ok guys. This is getting over the top. Lighten up.
  4. Lol...and why is the rum always gone?
  5. Had to look that one up in the database...thanks for trigger 🙃
  6. Yeah...that seems to explain a lot.
  7. This. And - the complainant only needs to prove their case on the balance of probabilities.
  8. 1. The primary function of any museum is to preserve heritage and educate the public. Expecting a high degree of economic impact through tourism, is a recent shift and actually a fairly new idea. 2. You pointed out government subsidy as if it were a negative. It's the norm for any museum - they all get subsidies. That's why I could rent two rooms at the MB. museum this past Friday, and also have my students complete a scavenger hunt of the galleries, all for $13 per student, plus 5 free chaperones. We were at the museum from 9:30 - 3:00; per hour, per student, that's ridiculously low, and I greatly appreciate it.
  9. I read those too - you're referring to them without the proper context 1. All Canadian museums operate as non-profit organizations 2. Most Canadian museums are primarily funded by both governments and foundations
  10. The article you posted indicates that they achieved over 90% of their paid attendance target.
  11. In the years before Covid, there were several organizations that sponsored the attendance of schools at the Manitoba Museum. It was not free, the museum was still getting paid. This is a fact - I take my grade 11 group to the museum every year. No, they don't. Achieving 94 000 paid attendance when you're target is 100 000, is actually pretty good.
  12. Yes but - there were a number of teams doing a much better job than Winnipeg was.
  13. I've booked quite a few field trips groups at CMHR. They do have dates where they are fully booked. As does the MB. Museum - I was there on Friday with 40 grade 11s - the place was busy.
  14. I have been to TO twice - it was ok. Attended an Argo game, climbed the CN, & sat in Beliveau's locker at the HHOF. 😁
  15. That's too funny - maybe they don't want to meet you? 😄
  16. As if their spoiled opinions were any kind of reflection of reality.
  17. Yeah, Walls was one of the best DEs when it came to keeping contain.
  18. Somewhat of a conundrum. It's a passing league but most fall/playoff games are won on the ground.
  19. But maybe he could produce quite well in Winnipeg - with Schoen, Lawler, Demski and Oliviera needing to be accounted for. He knows the CFL game and could be adept at finding openings created by the superstar talent.
  20. IIRC - it was a combination of ratio plus BA being injured.
  21. One reason might be - we fielded the best secondary that I can remember - in that GC - everyone was healthy. I was at the game where Hammy beat us soundly that year - Brandon Alexander was standing on the sidelines. It could be that if they used max protect and consequently fewer receivers in the GC, perhaps our cover guys would have had them mostly blanketed. With Hecht (one example) at safety back in Sept., it was a whole other story.
  22. In 2021 & 2022 - teams were often forced to use extra pass pro against the Bombers. In 2023 not so much.
  23. Nothing like some Booch hyperbole responding to my sarcasm.
