Original site mods for Ourbombers on launch day:

Colin is probably checking the site stats and going nuts - "we're at 5 Daily Average Users right now!!!"

like whom? Just curious.

Is Shankman there too?

cue facial ticks and twitches as another site warning hits my inbox...

That's how you know it's a good joke. It not only entertains, it informs.

It was a race to get likes. We'll have to find other ways to get them I guess. My vote is still for more Rider/Saskatchewan inbred hillbilly jokes.

should have had 2 pts in Pittsburgh. We freaking crushed those guys. The last few games the Jets are finally playing physical and using their size. I was watching the Pittsburgh feed on the Jets game as I was in the US on Direct TV and the whole game the announcers kept complaining about the mean bully Buff and the rest of the Jets being so big and nasty. I was thinking "about time!!" - we have the size to intimidate just about any team out there, use it! Hit people! Score! I really want to see Buff cream Kadri tomorrow night!

Let's hope they never forget Alexandra Mezher.

yes, exactly. Refugees are a whole separate class. My family on my dad's side tried to get into Canada in the 1920's as refugees but were denied and had to go to Mexico instead. They were fleeing the communists in Russia. Several notorious examples of refugees being denied access to Canada: http://thechronicleherald.ca/novascotia/1174272-canada-turned-away-jewish-refugees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komagata_Maru_incident These two incidents were black eyes on Canada. I have no problem with allowing in refugees, as long as they weed out the bad hombres. Weren't the Sask Roughriders involved in some bar brawl with some bad Somalian hombres a few years back in Regina?

I had no idea what "alt right" was until I was accused of this here and on other forums, mostly by people whose opinion I didn't share, and so name-calling was the result. I now have an idea of what both "alt right" and "alt left" terms mean, but essentially from what I can tell they both engender a lot of hate for their particular causes, via distortion of facts and a lot of anger. Unfortunately, these groups seems to continue to gain popularity, forcing main-stream media to compete and thus pick a side, and thus you have Fox News trying to grab the alt right side with their own alternative facts, and you have CNN, MSNBC, the NYT etc parroting alt left distortion. It all leads to a lot of complete garbage being pumped out by everyone.

oh ok, yeah that's a pretty valid point. We will see I guess. Right now looks like Trump is still watching them.

20 seconds left and Wheeler throws the puck at the net, watches the puck slowly drift toward the empty net without following it into the zone and fore-checking. 10 seconds left, I'm yelling "GO GET THE PUCK WHEELER!!" and Ottawa brings it up the ice and almost scores. ARGH this team can be so frustrating....

Yes, very astute. Especially since this is the first time, in history, that a sitting president has attacked, shunned and vilified media sources that disagreed with him and his policies...oh wait...

Actually, it's not the same thing, at all. To be the same thing, firstly, you'd have to have been trying to get in touch with the band council in Alert Bay, expressly for the purpose of trying to help them, and getting extremely frustrated that purely for political reasons, the band council was ignoring your requests to meet. And then, a Native person who you didn't know, would have to walk up to you on the street, and ask you point blank, if you had any intention of meeting the band council in Alert Bay. What would you do? Would you say yes? Would you say no? Would you ask this person to help you meet them? Would it be racist to ask that person for help, considering they were the ones who first asked you if you would meet with them? If so, why? If your goal is to talk to them, and they won't, because they are being instructed not to talk to you, even though all you wanted to do was to help them, what would you do?

I am not sure what the fascination is with Trump's approval rating right now. He's got 47 months left in his administration. Let me know what it is at say 12 months, and then add about 20% to whatever the amount is, as we all know how skewed these polls are, especially ones done about Trump.

I don't know anyone who supports segregation by colour, but I know a lot of people who pull out the word "Racist" on a pretty consistent basis to be used as some sort of trump card in every argument where they believe they are on the "right" side. They in fact invoke this word so much, that it loses almost all meaning.

I don't think I was giving the benefit of the doubt to anyone. I just found that the comment that Trump made to the reporter re the CBC as presented in this thread was taken out of context. When the bigger picture was revealed, in that the CBC seems to be deliberately avoiding him, purely for political points, then it kind of made it more understandable why Trump was a little irked at the question.

If it means more tennis pictures I am ok with it.

bashing one or both of the two idiot Pauls that write about the Bombers is guaranteed Like-Ville. Like City even.

This is a prime example of not giving the entire story. The reporter asked Trump if he would meet with the CBC. The part that wasn't included in that soundbite was after he told the reporter he would love to meet with the CBC, he went on to say that they've been trying extremely hard to meet with the CBC, and due to political reasons, the CBC won't meet with the White House, and Trump said it was probably due to instructions from the DNC. Is this true? I know many here would just dismiss this as Trump lying. If it is true, and Trump has been trying to meet with them to discuss issues of inner cities, and they won't meet with him purely due to optics and politics, then shame on them. There was a comment about how Flint doesn't have drinking water yet. If the DNC representatives from that area are putting politics ahead of the people then shame on them.

yup, more "fake news". What a surprise. http://www.snopes.com/2017/02/17/white-house-denies-rumors-national-guard/
