Looks like BC has also thrown in the towel. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-s-top-doctor-i-want-to-get-out-of-the-public-health-order-business-1.5728055

And those who end them with prepositions. Something with which I will not put.

That's interesting. I would think the TPR should then be higher than 40% I would assume there's still a backlog from the previous system

I just remember how Dave Ritchie pronounced his name - Rawwwn Wahhhner Sounded like he was talking about maple syrup on his pancakes

It also helped a great deal - that Wally Buono assumed Harris' decline was imminent.

Ron Warner?

Walls, Haywood, Brown, Canada They were a good DL when firing on all cylinders. But the guys we have now are better. Who was the guy next to Brown when Ritchie was HC?

Now - why can that not be the consistent message? * bangs head on wall*

I 100% believe that - thanks for the info.

IMO, this is 100% being done to appease some of the stakeholders. I think the government would prefer to start on Jan. 10th, but they had give a little bit to the other parties Masks and testing kits could be distributed this week - they shouldn't need an extra week to do that

Oh, I don't think anyone is arguing that Taman's approach couldn't produce a championship But, what it definitely doesn't produce, is long term success Yes, the 2007 team could have won a GC, but that team went into decline in 2008.

I need to conduct a semantics experiment.

I am very sorry to hear that - there are many parents and kids in the same predicament Too many teachers are needing to take leaves, and there is not always someone available to fill in By filling in I mean more than being a body in the room

Many kids are already checked out - from the see - sawing, remote learning and lack of extra - curricular activities Now they'll be checked out until Spring Break - some until June 30

2 weeks of remote learning after break in Ontario. 3, 2, 1 until it gets announced here

Well... I was frustrated with the way Taman traded picks and handled the draft I believed Joe Mack would do things differently, and for a while it looked he was, but it turned out to be smoke and mirrors In hindsight, they would have been better off keeping Taman When it came to Walters / O'Shea, I was cautiously optimistic, but twice burned and somewhat cynical Yes, many of us here say we prefer the long term approach, but there was plenty of impatience while the building blocks were put in place And, maybe Taman has learned a thing or two. Because, let's be honest, most of the key pieces of our current Bomber team, were not drafted by Winnipeg.

That's what I recall. I mean, there's no reason why he couldn't be a DC or a secondary coach somewhere.

Andrew Harris Adam Bighill Kenny Lawler Rasheed Bailey I think you can see where I'm going with this...

Jefferson played some good ball there.

The dive down the rabbit hole continues.

@Brandon true. But more teachers are opting for early retirement, and the new candidates cannot always fill those shoes. Just because there are candidates, that doesn't mean they're all ready to do the job. This was much less prevalent before 2020.

All of you potheads...need to sort yourselves out.

Oh, I think Covid is definitely being spread in schools. I just think the problem has gone far beyond where closing schools would make a difference. I'm sorry to hear about deaths, there have been deaths in my community too. I'm not sure how things are in Winnipeg, but out here it's a real mess. Experienced teachers are opting for early retirement, most retired teachers are no longer willing to sub, and inexperienced teachers are in an impossible position. Remote learning this month is going to create even more checked out kids. There is a serious teacher shortage, right across the country. I know of several rural school who have lost teachers that they cannot replace.

Fair comment - as are those closest to them.

There is also other side of the coin to consider - those students who at a higher risk because of remote learning. Those who won't have breakfast or lunch, those with parents who can't or won't supervise them, and those who are disadvantaged because they can't access technology.
