Oh I'm sure it gets much much much darker than that.

That's not true at all.

I'm sorry....did I read that right? "Chances"? Chance they are compromised? Leading figures have been compromised for...Decades!! Maybe longer. OF COURSE they're compromised. 100% no question. Undeniable. Both sides of the isle. This is why I continue to say that Trump will never ever see the inside of a jail cell. Never. It's not gonna happen. Now he might be suicided/Epsteined....but he's never going to jail. The compromised will never allow that.

I believe the league having 9 teams is one of the reasons for the extra bye week. There's always going to be 1 team not playing. Randy said getting a tenth team would eliminate one bye week and help shorten the year overall. You telling me there were no casual fans at the sold out December game last year?

I don't quite understand the kickoff thing, like what's the point? Most drives gotta start around the 30 already no? I would also like to point out that the NFL made rule changes to make their game more like the CFL...

What can you even say about that guy at this point. IF he truly does not understand the push back against 3 downs, I'm certain he never will. He can point to other leagues changing rules and pretend like the CFL never does that all he wants. But he's just making himself look completely out of touch with the CFL and like a bit of a clown as well.

I've said it before, out of the top 3 OLs in the league last year did they have more Americans or CNDs? Obviously we know WPG had more CNDs. I'm honestly not sure about the others.

That actually might be a way for the to save face...well to anyone who still believes them anyway....just declare victory and say you did what you came to do and then just leave.

Players as in Wilder. I'm not saying it's NOT an issue, but it's easy to believe Wilder would get his panties in a bunch over it. I'm not sure I completely agree with that persons assessment of the OL talent. I believe all the TOP OLs in the league have more CNDs than americans on them.

the fake outrage and "Otoole was right" **** birds are incredibly annoying right now. They very clearly know their audience though, I'll give them that.

Those should be banned from this site. I'll hold off until I can actually see them, but I'm not expecting anything crazy.

Anyone else hear Miller say they would be unveiling a 3rd jersey next month?

Injuries happen.

There is no equipment. Flags and a couple balls I guess. Tackle is $290. There are no set practice fields, the games are held on fields that tackle uses from what I understand. There can't be that many refs per game, I've seen this flag football being played and there are never more than 2 that I can see. No facility costs for storing equipment. Coaches are volunteers (They ask if a parent would want to coach at the end of registration). So insurance, field costs and a couple shirts (all of which I pay for to play touch and it's almost half the cost). And like I said this is some how in partnership with the Bombers. How expensive would it be if they weren't partnered?? Or is it just a name recognition thing? I don't know...but I really hope someone in that organization knows that is a problem. I'm very likely going to be signing up, but damn the amount of kids who aren't going to be able to due to only cost...they gotta fix that.

Totally off topic. But I'm kinda annoyed with football manitoba right now. Maybe someone here can shed some light. My son wants to play football but he is only old enough for flag football (which is some how linked to the Bombers as it's called Bomber futures or something close). The cost is $245.00...for flag football!? Why? Tackle is $290. The real kicker here is to play soccer (same amount of games) is $65. We don't qualify for assistance or anything and I'm not trying to come off as if we're hurting for $ either....but damn the budget is tight right now. And $65 is a lot easy to justify than $245!!! Talk about helping grow the game of football....that's gonna continue to be difficult at that price point considering the alternatives. And just for comparison, I've played touch football for close to 20 years and have never payed more than $150.

Yeah it's a delicate situation right now. I learned that the response time for a nuke attack (like between when you learn one is on the way and it hitting the target) is only a few minutes now. Which is ******* terrifying really.

I actually think that's a pretty good pick up by them. Assuming they don't make him play tackle.

Well if Madani says it's happening, it must be true...

More on the CPC will never go after public health: https://twitter.com/doreennicoll61/status/1504114985382862849?t=R7yVzppBJ_uMR7C2-nqDqA&s=19

Again, we REALLY need a WTAF button. cause What the actual **** was that? Wow that was in such poor taste.

Funny I was actually thinking about making the Private clinics/profits pay into the public funding. That actually seems like a pretty solid way to keep things fairly even.

The biggest concern is quality of care. Private clinics would likely have the opportunity to pay their employees (doctors/nurses etc) more than a publicly funded one. Meaning the best doctors etc would only be available to those who could afford to pay for them...and if it starts snowballing eventually you're left with a public system that is over worked, understaffed and under qualified. Even if the public system is well funded it likely won't be able to compete with a free market. I had a family friend who moved south a few decades ago because she got a job offer from a hospital in chicago to do the same job but doubled her salary (I actually believe it was a bit more than doubled) and payed for the moving expenses including their rent until they found a house they liked. Now obviously that anecdotal but it's the premise people worry about.

I didn't say there was no corruption. That's actually kind of my point. We as a society are essentially incapable of keeping corruption out. It's inevitable at pretty much every level of society. Some systems hide it better than others and CAN have checks and balances in place to keep it from getting completely out of control (see our healthcare system), but that usually involves voting and not relying on the free market to decide. And no I do not have an answer to that situation that wouldn't involve loads of chaos. The truth still stands though.

That's just good marketing lol.

I understand what you mean. BUT...if he wasn't going to make change (which I think we can all agree is very much needed in that party right now), he had the opportunity to show that he was able. And imo he fell on his face hard! Woulda coulda shoulda is very much a party line and was 100% given to him as an answer for that type of question. He's towing the party line just like the rest. Never mind the 500K his business got on top of that. I would be willing to bet that he eventually becomes the leader of the provincial party and is no better than the rest.
