  1. he already did that.
  2. looking forward to the day when this Trump pprick is no longer in the news.
  3. it's nonsensical, the guy has been on something like ten teams NFL and CFL.
  4. I agree with you. At best, they don't care.
  5. unless we stop them. If for no other reason, than this, do not elect right wingers. This is an attack on all of us, no matter what our social values are.
  6. more on the right wing attack on public health care in Canada, Ontario: make no mistake, the right wingers are coming for our healthcare system. And they won't do it at once, they just cut here and there, till it no longer functions. https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/opinion-story/9733414-attempted-privatization-of-health-care-is-moving-ahead-stealthily/?fbclid=iwar0tk3i8chmlleqbaoi5nvwty1mnz0ocpeyva8dsiurvk195qhqg5y_g5ka I was told years ago by a business reporter friend of mine, that the upper crust hate public health care. During the Filmon years in Manitoba they fired nurses in droves, tried to privatise homecare. created a real mess. After the NDP under Doer got elected, they worked hard to restore nursing staff to workable levels. and succeeded. Not sure why these right wing people hate public healthcare, but they do.
  7. Arbuckle is completely unproven, he played with the best receivers in the league, and a good O line, and a good coach. The excitement over Arbuckle reminds me of the hype for Franklin when he was supposed to be the next great QB.
  8. well, I guess you, and I, are not true Bomber fans. I am very upset by this development.
  9. where the hell did he get that coat? and why? unique look, that could catch on with the cool set! or more likely, next halloween.
  10. In the light of the British election, where there have been negotiations between Boris and Donald to open up the National healthcare plan, ie, start to dismantle it, (the dream of rightwingers everywhere, including Canada, don't kid yourself.... ) Canadian people should be wary. Not hard to see the effects of right wing policy on healthcare in Canada, like in BC where Doctors are scarce due to not being paid as well as in other provinces. I give Harper credit for this, he was smart enough to not piss around with single payer healthcare.
  11. Chip off the old block. Must be the "Stampeder effect".
  12. good timing for Strev with the qb in Ravensville being the talk of the town. Good to see the NFL finally after twenty five years or more, catching up to the CFL on mobile qbs.
  13. I like this from that interview Really describes some of the great things about Wpg and Manitoba. It's remarkable driving around Wpg,and also, Steinbach, Brandon, other towns and cities, the number of successful small/medium and gigantic size businesses that locals have created.
  14. Collaros might like staying in wpg, or , being a smart guy, he might be applying some pressure to get the best deal he can from Toronto. bit of both probably.
  15. Fans like Streveller cause of his partying? B.S. During the season Streveller was dedicated, willing to practically kill himself for the team, and ended up playing a big part in the playoff wins. Clearly hates losing, and loves winning, and is a real team guy, with tons of talent. He reminds me of Harris that way. what does his carrying on after winning the championship got to do with wanting him on the team? It's the above stuff, that makes fans want him. The rest is bonus. and, I have no problem of any kind with a young guy partying heavily after winning championship game. Can't imagine how great those guys felt.
  16. repulsive. Thankful I live in Canada.
  17. probably but there are also fast chargers, that they will use. The CEO at Harbour air is clearly a very smart man, leading the world on this. "drastically different maintenance cost" of electric motors. five percent of world aviation will be a very large bite out of the oil co profits, and aviation engine manufacturers. get on board, or get left behind.
  18. https://apnews.com/8e0accfe7fb3fc10b97c87c2b7e00cd8 GENEVA (AP) — Global commerce will lose its ultimate umpire Tuesday, leaving countries unable to reach a final resolution of disputes at the World Trade Organization and instead facing what critics call “the law of the jungle.’’ The United States, under a president who favors a go-it-alone approach to economics and diplomacy, appears to prefer it that way. The terms of two of the last three judges on the WTO’s appellate body neared their end at midnight Tuesday. Their departure will deprive the de facto Supreme Court of world trade of its ability to issue rulings.\The panel is supposed to have seven judges. But their ranks have dwindled because the United States — under Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Trump — has blocked new appointments to protest the way the WTO does business.
  19. RE AOC..... don't think she'll be hearing from the haters. She just accomplished more in a short while than ninety percent of her fellow legislators do in their entire careers. "doesn't know what she's doing" my ass.... she's very effective. That of course is why she is attacked.
  20. aren't Nelson and Thorpe supposed to be very good D coordinators? Was their D any good last season? Can not remember.
  21. possible dod theme song ole rocking chair hoagy carmichael..... Old rocking chair's got me, my cane by my side, Fetch me that gin, son, 'fore I tan your hide. Can't get from this cabin, goin' nowhere Just set me here grabbin' at the flies round this rocking chair
  22. Dave Dickensen called a game losing, go for fifteen yard pass for the TD on a third and short in the semi final that kind of clinched their loss. As a Bomber fan, I liked that call. Curious about who Lapo will recruit to coach in Ottawa. Probably Mr Dyce will stay.
  23. seems like there is some problem in Calgary. One coach quits, then Dinwiddie leaves for same job elsewhere.
  24. some of the comments above; he hasn't played in a game. Lots of guys have looked good in camp, and can't play in a game. I wonder if Lapo as a genius came from his time at TSN, media like to froth things up. I don't mind if he's back, just won the Grey Cup with him on the staff. got to count for something in his favour.
