What the hell is wrong with these people ? https://globalnews.ca/news/8268327/winkler-care-home-families-volunteer-staff-refusing-covid-vaccine/

The trouble in the States is they don't have a party that legitimately wants a real democracy that serves the people. It's obvious what the Republicans are and how far they are willing to go. But the Democrats are like a wolf in sheep's clothing. There really is no one to stop what's happening. Bernie took a run at change but when it looked like he might actually have a shot at it the powers behind the curtain squashed him. I've been wrong before but I really don't see a way out for the US.

But it's the best way! It has to be because it's the American way. USA USA USA ! Sheep voluntarily lining up for wolves.

A side line story on that from The Guardian : https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/14/merck-drug-prices-us-healthcare-big-pharma $ 712 for a drug that costs $17.74 to produce and who's development was subsidised by American tax dollars .

First off I readily admitt I have never kicked a field goal in my life. You obviously havd a far greater knowledge in that department than I do and that was a great reply.But I will use your example of martial arts because I have been at that for 20 years.. When teaching my students the 1st thing I teach is correct form and technique in a particular kick. Then over time it's building muscle memory while using that proper form. So eventually it's just instinct. But then enters the mental part. People do develop bad habits over time that need correcting. Also you train them correctly but when they go into competition it's just not there.They might have a beautiful roundhouse in training but when they spar they just can't get if off. After 20 years it still surprises me who thrives at sparring and who doesn't. But back to kicking football's, once someone has learned the technique ( and at this level ,you would think that should be a given ) I would have thought it was pretty much entirely his inability to perform in the heat of action. If you are right and it is technique and knowledge of kicking from different hashmarks then he has no business in Pro ball in my opinion. Thanks for the great response by the way , those were great observations.

In my mind kicking field goals is % 90 mental. If he can't get his head straightened out and deal with the pressure in regular season games on a team that does nothing but win regardless of the kicking game what is going to happen if the Grey Cup is on the line and he needs to kick the winner with seconds on the clock ? I know what the answer to that is right now.

I guess they have to keep trying but the ones that are breaking the rules now aren't going to follow more rules. But I commend them for trying. Personally I'd keep hammering them in the pocketbook. Bump up enforcement. I think it's the only way to get through to them and at least it targets the ones who are the real problem.

Those sheep are extremely well armed. And some of those sheep belong to the military and their never ending levels of police forces. There is already background noise about separating red and blue states. I don't see any reason to think it would be any less violent than last time they did that. The big difference in my opinion is that it will effect the rest of the planet far, far more. Can they avoid it ? Sure, but so far they continue to push it past the tipping point.

F-ing disgusting . Where is the sympathy for the officers that were wounded, suffered PTSD and died defending their nations democratic institutions ? She was killed while commiting a violent, treasonous crime. I have no sympathy for her. Its a sick and dieing nation.

What a POS !

The entire time I read that I kept thinking back to the anti-masker who told me "Jesus didn't wear a mask". But apparently the donkey he rode on was named Ferrari

My hope is Stefanson has to take this stance to keep Glover out and will support proper Covid measures when she is in. It may be ugly politics but she may have no choice. If she strongly comes out in support of restrictions there is a good chance the covidiots will take over the party and we could end up with a Kenny like disaster.. I just hope the sensible group in the PCs are still in control and playing ugly but smart politics. We are screwed if they aren't. As far as our system , leaders have always stepped out and been replaced that way both Federal and Provincial. We can't change it because we don't like the circumstances or the system will collapse like our neighbors to the south. The Republicans don't like the results so they are twisting and bending the system to suit there particular bent and twisted view.

You know that whole Frankenstein 's monster bit didn't work out to well the 1st time right ?

Osh is a pretty loyal guy and a bit slow to change but that was extremely painful to watch and hopefully he has had enough. Personally I would send him home, give it to Leggio and start trying to bring in a established kicker. If Legs starts hitting between the uprights regularly before that happens then stick with him. He seems to have corrected alot if his punting woes so maybe he can do the same on his place kicking now.

For all the " Elks hung in there for a long time " talk from Suitor this game could easily have been 50-3. The Bombers either need to bring in a legit kicker or hand in back to Leggio and let him learn on the job.

Is that a horrible spot or what.

Oh, my Lord Harris

Ah, This D is a beautiful thing to watch.

3 points !!! Lol That almost feels bigger than a touchdown

Arg ! Just can't count on field goals..

Legs with some good punts tonight

That was ugly

Jeez ,Miller with the big hammer.

Edmonton Ungulates. Has a good ring to it.
