There are still a fair number of Reformers for sure. However, AD just did a poll on support of the Freedom Convoy and 67% of those who identified as CPC voters stated they were strongly opposed to the Freedom convoy with a further 11% saying they had no opinion on it. It is left wing propaganda that the right is united in support of this. Far from it. Also, NDP has 17% of its voters polled say they were strongly in favor of the Freedom Convoy and Liberals 12%. There is support across the political spectrum and definitely the vast majority of Canadians, of ALL 3 parties. strongly opposing it. While the CPC certainly has the highest % of support amongst it's members it is still in the very small minority of it's membership and in line with what the overall national numbers of support/opposition is.

I wish I had one to share. I've seen it but have not actually ever seen him wear it.

I disagree. I don't like politics on the extremes in media.

If Ottawa is scaring people...yikes...have some faith people we are the back2back champs. PLOP will have them ready to play. In his less than illustrious career as a head coach his teams have usually looked well prepared in game 1.

Friend of mine ordered a Bomber jersey from Aliexpress and when it came in it was purple and gold. LMAO. Worst 22 bucks he ever spent he said. Pull it out for Vikings games and wears it to the bar for a laugh.

Is Jones trying to get fired?

Yes..the comparison was done on the 2019 team. i would think we are younger now, but so should the Riders who lost Johnson and Gainey.

Dont let them get to you, they are jealous of the tramp stamp..jk.

Hey some goof on their board said we are a 4th place team and the reason was because eventually our players will get old. I **** you not. Such riveting analysis.

You are suggesting that Trump made a conscious effort to attract nazis and racists? If he did then for sure there is no place for supporting him. However, if he did not and spoke out against nazism and racism you are making him guilty of something beyond his control. Same as the protesters. I don't agree with the blockade and I think it is ignorant. I will not, however, paint them as nazis because nazis chose to show up uninvited.

Their are some protesters there that are nazis, racists, wingnuts and there are protesters there that are concerned for their small businesses, livelihoods, or just general freedoms. To paint them all with the same brush is unfair. I just don't see the point in matching ignorance with ignorance. I agree. There is a tipping point to anyone's freedom of expression and no one should be able to fly nazi flags or racist banners etc. under the guise of protest. The governments have failed in that regard and the leaders of the protest have failed to control their message. That doesn't make them nazis though. Spineless...in the case of the government for sure....unprepared and unwilling to control their protest....yep....nazi....not so much. It's like saying I'm a Nazi if my neighbor down the street flies a swastika in his window and I don't take up arms to get him to take it down. I am sure the overwhelmingly vast majority of protesters are disgusted by this segment of the population that used this as an excuse to come out of the woodwork.

When he said I can dominate as a LBer too, I was thinking "What else did he dominate?" because he is a mediocre RB at best. He really needs to stop attending Duron Carter's self help seminars.

D front 7s, OL, and QB are the foundation of champions. I look around the league and we are so far ahead of everyone in these departments as an aggregate it isn't even funny....it's almost unfair.

Wilder just likes to hear the sound of his own voice I think. Surely he can't be stupid enough to believe half the crap he says.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that Manitoba Courts are keeping the mask mandates.

I'm interested to see what he brings in year 2. Could be a bust, but could be a sleeper too. I just don't see it at wideout is all. Love for him to come in and prove me wrong but I see him as slot depth. Let's not get carried away with calling this the biggest signing of an offseason that saw Collaros, Biggie, Big Stan, and the Jeffs come back....but yeah...he's a big signing too. The middle of our defence is back intact. Gonna be another long season for offence's that play us. Some hand wringing and worry about losing Lawler, and Harris but realistically with our defence we won't need to score more than 20 a game.

Keep the faith grasshopper. I may have underestimated their regular season performance the past couple years but come playoff time I've been bang on. They don't have the horses to win when it matters.

The top teams lol....they've won one playoff game in almost a decade. I have been right a heck of a lot more than I've been wrong when it comes to the Riders sucking. Last year I picked them as a cross over team and I was wrong but mainly because I was way off base about Edmonton last year. This year I've got them as 3rd in the West and a one and done in the playoffs. You see them as better than that? To be clear, when I talk about the Riders it is in comparison to us and I think we are a much better team than they are. I have to wonder why you would come to a Riders suck thread and criticize negative commentary about the Riders? Kinda what the thread was created for. Piling on the Riders might not be your cup of tea...that's fine...there are other threads.

Kongbo was valuable. He played mostly DE but went in occasionally at DT in certain sets. Dominant...no...excellent NAT rotational player...you bet.

I am hopeful we get both back and fairly confident we will.

Dust has settled on most of FA, and flying under the radar is the pretty staggering lack of NAT talent on the Riders. O'Day has a ton of work to do there. There starting 7 is a very generous of me below average, and I see no depth behind them at all. I get it, sounds like I'm piling on the RIders, but that is what this thread is for. I look at our losses this offseason and it hurts, but then I look at the Riders adds vs losses and it cheers me up quite a bit. Hope they stay quiet, but I think they have to make more moves...many more moves...just to field a roster that doesn't see Gainer in as a NAT roster counter.

Lat year Grant and Hansen were both late adds. Perhaps we have verbal commitments with them already. Hansen is playing Polish ball right now so it is highly likely he re-signs after their season, and Grant for some reason has been signed late the past 2 seasons. Maybe he goes abroad or something this time of year? Just speculating. Grant could be a guy who likes to keep the NFL option open as long as possible too. Grant could definitely be a guy we want to take a physical as well after his injury setbacks last year, maybe we are waiting on that.

He makes good cuts, but yea...he's not particularly quick and is definitely vertically challenged for wideout. Very smart receiver, guess he'd have to be at his size.

I would think he still has a roster to fill out with foot soldiers with a lot of the rest of open cap space. I doubt when all is said and done that we have the SMS room to make any kind of big splash, but certainly guys like Grant, Hansen etc should be targets.

Damn, Trumaine Washington to Ottawa. Was hoping that he would be this year's Winston Rose type signing.
