  1. ice fishing is a lot of fun..... see the near Selkirk too, out too soon, off too late.
  2. have another beer! About 200 early-season ice fishers were caught by surprise and stranded in a Minnesota lake when the frozen slab under their feet broke free and drifted into open water -- triggering a complex rescue operation. A member of the group called emergency services Monday when they realized the people ice fishing -- a popular winter sport in the northern US state known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes -- were slowly drifting away from the shoreline of Upper Red Lake, local police said on Facebook.
  3. "our population" "we Canadians" I am referring to average Canadians. not politicians.
  4. an impressively large percentage of our population are quite stupid. I thought we (Canadians)were better, but I was wrong.
  5. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/all-downhill-for-pender-harbour-b-c-skateboarder-after-2nd-straight-world-title-1.6655008
  6. Wow. strange days.
  7. someone was here a while ago belittling the idea that Conservatives want to end public healthcare. "Answers to the major problems confronting Alberta’s health care system, Daniele Smith said in a paper published under her name last year, are found in user fees, co-pays, privatization, and slyly delisting services covered by health insurance by redefining them. The paper – entitled Alberta’s Key Challenges and Opportunities – was published by the University of Calgary’s right-leaning School of Public Policy in June 2021. Smith: What the government needs to do is create matching Health Spending Accounts for all Albertans,” she explains. “The Government should pledge to match up to $375 per person and challenge individuals and employers to do the same.” “By taking responsibility for their health and giving people the means to do so,” she burbles, “it should translate into less pressure on the hospital system and better chronic care management which will bring costs down.” Better, she continues, “once people get used to the concept of paying out of pocket for more things themselves then we can change the conversation on health care. “the only way to make substantial and significant changes in the way programs are delivered is to allow contracting out, competition and choice.” full frontal assault on public health care in Canada right now. seems the right have decided, now is the time. elect cons, this is what you get. https://rabble.ca/politics/canadian-politics/ab-premier-smith-hints-at-user-fees-co-pays-privatization-for-health-care/ If you care about our health care system, spread this around.
  8. beginning of downward slide today is 59 years since Kennedy asassination. "President Trump vowed last year to release all the long-secret files related to the JFK assassination, but the administration announced Thursday that some documents will remain redacted until October 2021 for national security reasons. In a White House memo, Trump said that the nation’s intelligence community persuaded him to keep some parts of documents secret because their exposure could harm “identifiable national security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns.” "persuaded him" 😂 This is the only known time since his birth, that Trump did what he was told. lol. the sixty year old concerns. "We can not not let the ghost of Nikita Khruschev know the truth! "
  9. article says he was an adviser to Harper. S. Harper fought hard against safe injection, contrary to science, compassion. I dont know what perrin said when he was advising Wierd steve, but yeah, it's good to see him saying something now.
  10. Hard to understand the satisfaction with Liegghio. lot of "yeah, but".... and " Bede is worse" great.,lets keep him. two playoff games in a row where the points from his misses were significant. when the Lions were still in it late, they would have had to score twice, to tie (unlikely, not enough time) if he hadnt flubbed. Missing an extra point, in a close playoff games? nope. I think he has one clutch kick to win a game, in two years. need someone better than that.
  11. yes. Reminded me a bit of the win over Hamilton, where Bombers were thought to have no chance. Also, coming out at the start.... maybe looked almost ... too calm and quiet. perhaps too much "just another game"
  12. the Defence let the backup qb drive down the field and score the winning touchdown, in the last few minutes of the game. Toronto had better starting field position quite a bit. partly special teams. marc was bad in this game. to me, It was a team loss, including coaches.
  13. couture didnt look so good. saw two plays where his guy just ran by him. hardrick whiffedd on a sack too. looked like they were outplayed to me.
  14. 95 yards passing first half. oddball plays putting in Prukop. head scratcher defence did not stop the last TO drive. shitty kicker.
  15. can not blame the refs, command centre.
  16. not the bst Night for bomber O line
  17. second pass zach to muamba who dropped the first one. got lucky against b.c. with his bad passes, not this time.
  18. and again legs flubs loom large
  19. lot of good looking women around the stage clearly not from Saskatchewan. holy crap how could these two goofs have been such huge stars. in tune they are not. also, blue jean guy.... looks unwashed.... trying to appeal to sask fans
  20. involve demski
  21. surprised, but suitor is good today.
  22. tsn direct glitchy ( except during ads, which never glitch at all)
