Your info map has the United States in the top 5. Are you suggesting that the standard of living is better in the United States compared to Finland which is lower in your chart?
-
It's not really that cold out, I can see lots of walk up crowd.

Sorry if I didn't specify in which way how Finlands financial standard of living is, in comparison to the completely irrelevant GDP map that you had. Are you suggesting that the standard of living in Finland is on par with Canada? I'd like for you to show me areas with massive poverty similar to what we even have in our province.

You don't like the truth?

From Wikipedia: Wahlberg established the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation in May 2001 for the purpose of raising and distributing funds to youth service and enrichment programs. Wahlberg is active with The Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women and Children. People can change.

Agreed but each persons situation is different. Some people are hard working and unfortunately live in poverty. Some people like my old neighbours choose to live in poverty out of lazyiness and entitlement and believe everyone should pay for them. This is why the "appeal" process is where all fines should be determined and how they currently are assessed.

https://www.stat.fi/tup/satavuotias-suomi/suomi-maailman-karjessa_en.html Finland is completely different from Canada, To say it's similar is completely insane. I could be wrong so please prove me wrong, but does Helsinki have a similar downtown to Winnipeg with homeless camps, drug problems, and little to no pulse? Does Helsinki have an area of town as large as Downtown/North End/Point Douglas with massive crime rates , poverty, drug issues, extremely low property values? j Does Finland have areas in the country where people do not have access to fresh water and these areas are riddled with poverty and crime? And this is why they issue fines of $20 dollars - $50 dollars. Trust me you'd be sickened to see the fines that people get for doing absolutely awful things. They impose fines based on how much likely they can get from whoever they ticket. So someone who is a normal person who gets caught speeding is far more likely to pay a $500 ticket because they want to maintain a normal life, a career criminal who is in and out of jail has zero intentions of ever paying $500 so to avoid crowding the jails they will give the guy a $25 dollar fine. Completely un fair in my books.

I'd put Garcia & Dickenson over BLM also...

Are you suggesting that Winnipeg has similar standards of living as Finland? Finland is the 3rd richest country in the world. It's also a completely different culture then in Canada. Canada already does issue fines based on "probability of paying them". You'd be floored at finding out how little criminals are "fined" purely because the system knows that they won't repay them back.

Behind a great o-line Harris can pick apart the defenses, he only gets bad once things get tough for him. Fajardo as we have seen can only throw short passes and run around. Vernon Adams is a guy who will put up three shitty performances and then one great performance... way to inconsistent to rely on a play off run.
-
Harris and it's not even close.
-
This might be the most ridiculously bad idea ever.

Who are we likely to lose after this season??
Brandon replied to Nolby's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
No wait I got my stories mixed up... it was Zach Collaros coming back to Winnipeg because his wife had some cushy teaching job in Ontario and that he would never sign back with the team. -

Didn't we hear the same thing about LaPo and his wife? -

Brandon replied to Nolby's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I have no idea who are free agents and which guys have NFL aspirations. All I know is that if we want to keep a player, with this regime more likely then not that guy is staying with this club even if it means taking on a contract that is slightly lower then what the competition offers. -
Ottawa fans must really be burning up now after seeing how little was needed to get a starting QB.
-
As per Barker... Reilly is MOP so what is everyone talking about him being done?
-
Calgary looked good, but I'd like to see them against a team that actually puts some pressure on BLM. He wasn't exactly playing lights out against the Riders in both wins.
-
I watched the 2nd half of the Ottawa game... oh boy that Christison was absolutely awful... I had flashbacks of Alex Brink skipping balls into the dirt. Dude ends up getting seriously hurt and I'd imagine their goes his football career. That guy was awful. I don't see LaPolice lasting the season, he has to go that team looks just awful all around. If I'm Ottawa I'm airlifting Harris in ASAP before the GM and HC lose their jobs. Montreal Shiltz is better then VA... but he's still not great by any means. Pre Game for game #2... Barker says Reilly is MOP best QB in the league this year... I disagree. BC Lions look flat as hell and are calling a terrible game on offense. BLM is facing zero pressure and is throwing bombs with ease against a terrible BC defense. Calgary is definitely a threat IMO, but I'll fully reserve judgement when they play outside in the cold against a defense who has some semblance of life. BC Lions looked completely un prepared and very lazy today, not much effort at all after that long lay off.
-
Once we clinch a spot then I'd like for the remaining games that they mix it up similar to how Streveler would come in and give McGuire several series per game. I'm ok with losing some games at the end of the year.
-
I officially will admit that I was wrong in saying Noeller as Nasty Nate level of trolling , I retract my previous statement and apologize to Noeller and 17to85 and officially give the Nasty Nate Heavyweight Trolling Belt to TBURGESS.

Buck Pierce for calling a great game Stove had pressure all night Brady with a partial credit to the o-line when they were doing running plays they made some nice holes. HH - Houston had a solid game HH#2 - Zach facing the pressure and getting the ball out quickly. With Nichols we would of had at least 5 - 8 sacks against us. ZC would of been a top 3 if not for those 2 dreadful passes. Concerns - Moutarda still doesn't look right and the kickoff going out of bounds gave Edmonton prime field position for a field goal. Legs also isn't that great coffin cornering his punts.
-
200 yards running, 200 yards passing.... they put up 30 points (would of been 40 if not for Mourtada sucking).... and you think this is bad? Today they put up 26 points (29 if not for Mourtada) and have 150+ yards running and 200 yards passing with 2 passing TD's and this is bad? I like how the standards for Collaros having an average game needs to be him throwing for 300+ yards while Harris/Brady runs for 200 yards in order for you to say the team looked decent. Yet in 2018-2019 you were more then satisfied with Matt Nichols throwing for 150 yards with maybe one or two passes over 20 yards in length and as long as the team won regardless of how they got the win ... that offense was amazing because Matt Nichols had 150 yards and may have pushed the ball deep once or twice at most. Show me an offense in which every single game they have Tecmo Super Bowl like numbers in which they score 6 TD's and throw zero ints and don't have some mistakes with all the good plays?

The Alford pick 6 near the beginning the team had massive pressure on Harris and he lobbed a ball in a panic, Alford cut back and made a great play and only dropped the ball (probably from looking at the end zone). So what you are saying is on that play our defense was crap because Alford dropped the ball? Completely negating the fact that our d-line had massive penetration and the secondary went to the right place in the field? Bombers offense has been kinda poor in the pass game.... this is coming from someone who white knighted heavy for Matt Nichols for years.... Collaros was sacked 0 times, had 200+ yards passing and only one interception. Nichols had how many games where he was sacked 3 - 5 times and less then 200 yards passing in a game. Forget not the Bombers had nearly 200 yards rushing last week???? I know Noeller is your friend but yikes..... Also didn't Collaros toss for over 400 yards the week prior to that? So to get this straight.... Bombers win 30 - 3 with 400+ yards of offense... while holding the opposition to 200 yards of total offense.... while having 14 more minutes of time of possession.... this equals poor showing in Noeller and 17to85's books?
-
I like how you say Edmonton was atrocious... could it be possible that our defense was so lights out that Edmonton was just completely run over by a superior team? We ran for almost 200 yards... you are saying that was pure luck? The fact that we dropped 2 easy pick 6 TD's and Moutarda left 10 points on the board because he couldn't kick, Collaros makes one bad throw in the end zone.... that's 31 points that we left off the board. We still won 30- 3!@!@!@ I'm absolutely blown away that you would suggest we played poorly last week? This is Nasty Nate level of crazyness/trolling.
