Yep laying off 6000 people tends to bring quality control down. Weird that the number of new subscribers is way up since his takeover. Morbid fascination I guess.
Or they are just allowing more fake accounts. There's a lot of complaints about the bots so there are a lot of posts like this all over twitter lately:

I do not want to go anywhere in the United States.
"A woman in Hebron, Washington County ended up in the wrong driveway while searching for a friend’s house, and was shot to death, investigators said.
HEBRON, N.Y. -- A woman looking for a friend's house in upstate New York was shot to death after the car she was riding in mistakenly went to the wrong address and was met with gunfire in the driveway, authorities said Monday.
Kaylin Gillis, 20, was traveling through the rural town of Hebron with three other people Saturday night when the group made a wrong turn onto the property.
They were trying to turn the car around when the homeowner, Kevin Monahan, 65, came out onto his porch and fired two shots, according to Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy.
One round hit Gillis."
Par for the course down there:
The errand that nearly cost Ralph Yarl his life was of the sort that falls to older brothers everywhere.
Ralph, a Black 16-year-old in Kansas City, Mo., had been sent to pick up his younger twin brothers at a friend’s house on Thursday evening, his family said. But he mixed up the address, finding himself in front of a house on Northeast 115 Street, instead of Northeast 115th Terrace.
The white man who answered the door there shot him in the head and again in the arm after he fell, according to prosecutors. Somehow, Ralph made his way, bleeding, to another nearby house. There, he was told to lie on the ground while someone called for help, his family said.

I wonder if we look at this kid from Brandon in the draft. He didn't make the top 20 draft rankings but he had a pretty good combine. Still has some work to do from the sounds of it but it might be a good pipeline pick and him wanting to be here is not a bad thing either!

and that's not just fan-speak.... they really do.... Dickie The Worse and JO'D are just awful at their jobs, based on the actual evidence in front of us.
And for that reason, I sincerely hope they have an exceedingly long run in Saskatchewan.

It will be interesting to see how much of a factor this 'spat' turns out to be
The parties are not that far apart in the polls, and the Liberals have recently had solid showings in by-elections
Here's what I would say could be some potential swing ridings:
- Dauphin
- Selkirk
- Radisson
- Southdale
- Fort Whyte
- Brandon East
- McPhillips
- Fort Richmond
- Rossmere
IMO, whoever wins most or all of these, will be in majority territory
I'm in Radisson and the NDP candidate has already knocked on my door. They are starting early over here.

seems like crazy conspiracy stuff, but would the PCs go so far as to stage a situation ahead of time........and would Obby go along with it? Or maybe this is all just a big misunderstanding and taking something small and blowing it way out of proportion in the moment..... either way, this is super weird. I always respected Obby as a player, but as a politician, I'm not so sure...
I would not put it past any political party to do this, especially one desperate to remain in power. Audrey Gordon is also trying to get in on the act and just like with Obby, there is no evidence to back up the claim:
QuoteHealth Minister Audrey Gordon shouted across the aisle at the NDP leader accusing him of once shoving her off a corner at River Avenue and Osborne Street.
In a statement, Gordon said the alleged incident took place during the 2016 election campaign, when she was the PC candidate in Fort Rouge and was handing out flyers.
“He approached and physically intimidated me simply for being there — in broad daylight,” she said. “He came at me with such force that I was physically moved from the location I was standing in.”
Gordon said she is unsure if she was pushed or if she “subconsciously backed up from shock… While I may have forgotten some of the specifics, I have not forgotten how Wab made me feel.”

The article talking about him and the possibility of him ending up here had Kyle Walters saying he’d be a hard talent to pass on.
Also his resume does say that. 2021 23 catches 10 went for tds 24+ yards a per catch with 15+ yards per punt return and adding another 2 tds on punt returns. 2022 28 catches 8 for tds for 17 ypc to go along with 3 punt return tds and 17.5 yards per punt return.
Check the article again. Walters isn't saying anything about his talent being too good to pass on, he's just saying that IF it came down to MOSJ and someone very similar, it'd be hard to overlook the personal connection.
Quote"There is a personal level, it’s hard not to put that in there. You try to trust the film and numbers. Where does he slot in on the receiver rankings? If it’s a coin flip in the draft, this guy or this guy, it would be hard not to call Mike Jr.’s name, if it came to that,”

If Obby was shoved then he should file assault charges but no takes it thru the speaker. Interesting.
If this happened at an event full of people, you would think it would be fairly easy to confirm if there was a physical incident or not.

That's a tough call on Mos. Jr.......Every scribe and yokel in the country would be screaming 'nepotism'.......I say to hell with that and IF he's good enough and makes the grade sign him....If he's anything like his dad he'll be a beast
Osh has said it wouldn't be his choice to have his kid here and feels it would be unfair to everyone. Kyle, however, says it would be hard not to take him in the draft if it was a toss-up between him & another player.

Well, Mike please provide your 3 round detailed mock draft...
As mentioned last week, when another decided to rip someone, its a chat forum with all supposely providing their thoughts, suggestions, etc... I for one, look forward to John Hodge's and Marshall Ferguson's mock drafts...
What's the point of doing a detailed mock draft when those details are wrong? I'm not convinced that he actually watches games other than the ones he works. Last year Ferguson said that the Riders weren't desperate for help on the o-line - anyone with a pair of eyes could see that was way off.
Hodge isn't much better... he had us taking an OL early because it filled a "need" for us. Not sure where he saw the need but the team obviously didn't feel the same way since they took a grand total of zero OL last year.
I do enjoy reading the mock drafts but they hold next to no value.

He re-edited in the 90s and added a stuff to cut his ex-wife off of future earnings. He did it out of spite, as she was a co-producer (I believe) on the originals.
She does not have any producer credits on any of the Star Wars films. Her only official credits were on A New Hope & Return of The Jedi as an editor (she won an Oscar for ANH). She definitely did have an influence on the original trilogy but nothing official beyond that.
The whole not doing it out of spite rumor has been around for ever (along with many others) but nobody can say for sure as the details of their divorce settlement have never been made public. I tend to not put much stock in this one since a) he was tinkering with and re-releasing the movies since day one essentially (ANH was re-released in 78, 79, 81 & 82) and b) he had way more than just the Star Wars franchise making him money but he didn't stop working on those companies/films. Depending on the terms of the settlement, she would have been entitled to money from that too as his ex according to California law (at least at the time).

Yea and no. It has produced more CFL talent than any other NCAA program, which makes sense since they are based in Canada. But they are nowhere near the top program in Canada. As of 2020 when this article was written, Calgary was #1 and Laval in their brief but storied history was #2, both with twice the alums as SFU.
https://www.cfl.ca/2020/04/27/u-sports-ncaa-schools-dominate-draft-day/SFU is not #1 from the 2005-2020 time period that the article is using but all-time they are #1. That being said, their glory years of being a consistent CFL contributor ended about 25 years ago.
13 hours ago, Noeller said:Sorry this was the quote I saw:
#1 all time but that's a bit misleading. From 1969-1997 they averaged about six CFL draft picks each year which is really high but over the last 25 years (1998-2022) they've averaged less than 2 players per draft with multiple years of having no players selected.

Not sure how credible this is (although it was posted before the story broke today) but apparently SFU did try to rejoin USports (and NAIA) but was turned down.

Simon Fraser University eliminates football program
https://3downnation.com/2023/04/04/simon-fraser-university-eliminates-football-program/
Could this be the first of many?
Why would it be? They were the only Canadian school playing US college ball and no longer had a conference to play in. I'd say what happened was unique to them, and not some sign of things to come.

Who said stop chirping? It's just not very effective when your team isn't exactly the model franchise for success and only got into the playoffs by the skin of their teeth.
