https://3downnation.com/2021/03/16/alouettes-receiver-quan-bray-made-a-mistake-being-arrested-with-157-pounds-of-marijuana/ "The Montreal Alouettes re-signed receiver Quan Bray after his charges for being arrested with 157 pounds of marijuana reached a conclusion.... One of the charges against Bray was dropped, while he pleaded guilty to the other and was required to pay a fine." I feel like it wasn't long ago carrying a bag of weed that weighs more than Weston Dressler would have netted you some jail time. I am glad he was able to be re-signed

Carbon Tax isn't just about getting more tax dollars in the coffers, it's also about encouraging new (better?) habits like buying locally sourced materials and products, paying more for craftsmanship that lasts rather than relying on cheap/disposable crap (whether that's clothing, furniture, electronics, vehicles, construction, whatever...) There is a human cost involved in having same-day delivery, $1.79 cheeseburgers, and a new cell phone every 2 years. There are plenty of social issues that could be helped with the money a carbon tax would collect. I don't enjoy paying more in tax, but then again I'm not a big consumer and I believe we don't pay the real cost for things anyhow. The Value of Nothing by Raj Patel talks about this. Does it make sense that bananas from South America are $0.79 a pound? Imagine if everyone involved in getting a piping hot disposable cup of coffee into our hands every morning, starting with the bean farmer all the way to the fast food employee, lived relatively as good a life as the person drinking it... coffee would be a thousand dollars a cup! I'm not so naive as to think that could ever happen, and I suppose that makes me lucky because I sure do love coffee, cheeseburgers and bananas. My point being that funding research into an alternative fuel so that we can continue to exploit and consume at our current rates shouldn't be the ultimate goal. Maybe consuming less and being smarter with dwindling resources should be the objective. Like and Subscribe for more ramblings from a middle aged hippy 😛

And jokes stop being funny when you have to explain them to people

If they are anything like the young NFL fans I know, then that's a big fat NO. If CFL players were any good they'd be in the NFL, I'm so often told

West Virginia just plucking it's Banjo and flashing it's tooth The whole country is a fly-over country.

No shame in losing this one. Helle was unbelievable, Ehlers is heating back up in a big way... Tavares Matthews Marner... jee-zus they can be next level

To this day my Dad insists (and I quote): "If you can't get 10 yards in 3 downs you deserve to turn the ball over. 4 down football is ***** football" Dad says no lol

Why though? We should just pack some in our purses before we leave the house every day.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMNKAxTAEq8/?igshid=bssk8tje9rop Q: Will the PC's commit to making menstrual products accessible in Manitoba schools so that girls who cannot afford such products are not forced to miss school? A: USB data blockers will protect young women from domestic violence ...what? To the people who say 'why should taxes be used to pay for menstrual products' I ask 'why should taxes be used to pay for toilet paper?' And then I'd ask them to explain what a USB data blocker does to stop domestic violence and how that is money better spent. **** this provincial government into the ground.

Loving those MTL jerseys.

What a beaut by French Jesus to close out the period.

Him and Lulay made some killer money while winning cups, too

Even worse than that, he took Rory Kohlert in the final round of the draft (a pending free agent with a handshake deal to return to Winnipeg) then went infront of the press and explained there was no-one else worth picking and he wouldn't have selected anyone from the Blue if he didn't have to. So he insulted us and Rory by saying he'd rather have had nothing at all than a chance to negotiate with a reliable N receiver. 2013 was my Nam. I have PTSD flashbacks every time I see someone straighten their tie

I thought we'd be going after lesser-knowns like Quan Bray. Yep, Mitchell is our big splash

Pure grain alcohol

Where does Loffler go? Muamba? Cooper is a good RB hitting his prime, he needs more starts
-
Should have been Empire. Whatever mental gymnastics led them to believe the evergreens evergolds elements would be better... eagles? Really? Are you a bland community club soccer team?
-
Just too many guys in line looking for starts. Happened on our OLine, now it's happening with our receivers. Woli and Demski ahead of Petey, Grant an co. ahead of Lucky... having too many good players to hold on to is a good problem to have. I personally think Lucky has superstar written all over him, and might go off in a place that lets their WRs be WRs

Surely you're thinking of someone else?

The man is a doctor, and a handsome one at that. He's busy curing us of this pandemic. And will he ask us to thank him when he does? No. Because he is a god damn hero.

Zach was willing to restructure, fortunately for us. Judging by what going on out East, that whole scenario could have played out pretty poorly for us if Zach wanted more upfront and we balked (not that I think it could have ever happened). Then maybe he goes East and we welcome Matt back? Haha heads would have exploded. In any case I'm glad we have who we have and can sit back and watch the craziness from afar.

We moved up in the draft, most would agree that's a gain. Will the players available between 48 and 52 be all that different? Only time will tell. Grey Cup champ and CFL All-Star Luc Brodeur-Jourdain was drafted at exactly pick #48, and amazingly that pick was also acquired by trade. You just... never know in the CFL draft. Round six Pick # CFL Team Player Position College 41 Saskatchewan (via Hamilton) Teale Orban QB Regina 42 Toronto Argonauts (via Edmonton) Mark Dewit OL Calgary 43 Calgary Stampeders Jonathan Lapointe FB Montréal 44 Toronto Argonauts (via Montreal) Tyler Scott WR Western 45 Toronto Argonauts Matt Black DB Saginaw Valley 46 BC Lions Hubert Buydens OL Saskatchewan 47 Winnipeg Blue Bombers Pierre-Luc Labbé LB Sherbrooke 48 Montreal Alouettes (via Saskatchewan) Luc Brodeur-Jourdain OL Laval

https://www.cfl.ca/2021/01/31/redblacks-sign-nichols-release-arbuckle/ That was fast. Good for Matty...
-
I was just about to suggest a trade was in the works that would get Arbuckle and Rogers together in TOR and Matty Ice back to LaPo in OTT... so much for that idea
