Soooo....the stupidity stops at the BC- Alberta border. At least for now.

Apparently it is to those with IQs not easily divided by 2. Stefanson will be only too happy to join the stampede along with the other lemmings.

Teen Skating Sensation Named at Center of Russian Doping Fight at Beijing Olympics. The entire figure skating team could be stripped of Olympic gold because Russia’s brightest young star, 15-year-old Kamila Valieva, reportedly failed a drug test before the Games./ -Reuters The 15-year-old figure-skating sensation whose unprecedented quad jumps powered Russia to the team figure skating gold at the Beijing Winter Olympics was reported today to have failed a drug test before competition. The report from the Inside the Games news website naming Kamila Valieva as the athlete at the center of the latest Russian doping scandal came after the International Olympic Committee twice delayed the formal medal ceremony at which she and her five Russian teammates were to be presented with their gold medals. There was no official confirmation of the failed test, nor details on what substance was involved, but Russian media said it was not performance-enhancing but “used to treat a cardiological problem.” RBC News named it as trimetazidine, which is used to prevent angina attacks but is considered a stimulant by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The failed drug test makes it all but certain that the Russians will be stripped of their gold medal, which would go instead to their American rivals.

The longer this goes on, the more the jackholes will take credit for the loosening of restrictions and the more likely they are to try it again.

The protest is no longer about Vaccinations, if it ever was. It is becoming clear that this is an Ad Hoc coalition of those who feel that their views are not reflected in the governance of the country, in spite of the fact that many of these views are abhorrent to most Canadians, illegal, rooted in the biases and bigotry of the past and reflective of the lunatic fringe which has gained ascendancy in the US. If you want a clear example of how at least the Winnipeg police are defferential to the exclusively white protesters, consider how they went into the squatters' camp recently with no hesitation about enforcing the law and tore it all down. Most of the squatters were native, and it is not difficult to read racism into that.

I still like Ambles and hope we get a boo at him in training camp.

With that size, Rene would seem to be a natural at safety, but picking up the Canadian game may be a bit of time.

Eli may yet be back, but Desjarlais looks to be able to stick in the NFL for at least a year. What what I've been able to garner about Dobson, he looks like he would be able to start in the CFL, but may stay in the NFL cloud for a bit. Lord knows he has the size, mobility and attitude to make an impact in the CFL.

I believe that Harris made the best decision for him in terms of money, but he will not have the same O-line nor the same quality of QB throwing the ball or calling the type of running play to take advantage of the defence being shown. He is gonna get beaten up a lot.

the Triad has gotten us here- two Cup victories in a row and well positioned to challenge again at the very least. Sempre avanti!

From SCOTUS to "critical race theory": There's no law or fact the GOP feels bound to respect now. The Supreme Court guts the Voting Rights Act while conservatives erase the history that necessitated its passage Two stories straight out of Alabama this week really encapsulate how the panic over "critical race theory," the war on schools and the war on democracy itself are all a piece of a singular racist right wing movement. Last week, AL.com reported that school officials across the state say parents are freaking out over the very existence of Black History Month, accusing schools of promoting "critical race theory" by mentioning it or honoring it in any way. And on Monday, the Supreme Court declined to enforce the 1965 Voting Rights Act in response to a plainly racist gerrymander in Alabama, on the grounds that doing so would interfere with the state's control of their elections systems. Yes, even though federal oversight of state election systems is literally what the Voting Rights Act was designed to do. It's been 13 months since Donald Trump incited an insurrection on the Capitol, one that was clearly driven by white supremacy and the belief that the votes of Black Americans simply shouldn't count as much as those of white people. There continues to be a struggle between various factions of the GOP over how to portray the violent insurrection itself — to call it a glorious MAGA revolution or pretend it was a random event unconnected to the larger party — but these two stories show the sentiment that drove it has now taken root in every corner of the GOP. From the school board to the Supreme Court, Republicans are determined to stomp out anything that stands in the way of white supremacy, from history to the law to democracy itself.

As the cream rises to the top, it gets skimmed off. Inevitable, really. Damned if you do and damned if you don't .

As per the 'Stones, "You don't always get what you want". Walters had to make a difficult decision and handled it as well as it could be under the circumstances.

Ack! Justin Dunk is confirming that Andrew Harris has signed with the Argos.

There are a couple of European countries which mandate that all bonuses have to to paid out of future earnings.

A Manitoba Homegrown Patient Safety Initiative: The E.R.I.K.® October 20, 2021 The Emergency Response Information Kit (E.R.I.K.) provides important medical information about you should first responders arrive at your home during an emergency. First developed by Manitoba paramedics and seniors resource coordinators, E.R.I.K. is now maintained by Support Services to Seniors at the Dakota Community Centre. This bilingual kit is ideal for seniors, people living with chronic illnesses, those who live alone or who have caregivers, and others who have difficulty communicating. The “It’s Safe to Ask” Medication Card fits inside the E.R.I.K. The E.R.I.K is available from local Senior Resource Council and from Fire and Paramedic Stations. Call 1-800-665-6565 to find out the phone number of the Senior Resource Council nearest you. The kits used to contain paper organ and tissue donor cards, but paper cards are no longer the best way to record your donation decisions. In E.R.I.K., you will find a signupforlife.ca card with contact information and details about how to register on Manitoba’s organ and tissue donor registry. Tips for E.R.I.K. users Keep E.R.I.K on your fridge Take your “It’s Safe to Ask” medication card with you to medical and dental appointments Return it to E.R.I.K. when you get home Take a copy of E.R.I.K. with you: when you travel when you go to the hospital In an emergency, paramedics will open the kit on your fridge and know: What medications you take If you have a Health Care Directive or Living Will

He's already made quite an impression. Darby was very good, but not irreplaceable.

This reminds me of an employee evaluation that read." "X" is a person who, when he finds he has dug himself into a hole, keeps right on digging".

Erik Prince raised funding for effort to spy on Democratic, progressive, and anti-Trump GOPers Erik Prince, an ally to former President Donald Trump and the former CEO of a security firm previously named Blackwater, reportedly helped raise funding for an effort designed to surveil Democratic, progressive and anti-Trump Republican candidates head of the 2018 midterm elections. On Tuesday, February 8, The New York Times released a report consisting of documents and interviews that detailed Prince's role in the surveillance effort. Prince reportedly conducted a meeting with British spy Richard Seddon as they allegedly worked to dig up incriminating information on opposing politicians across multiple states. Since Seddon previously served as an unofficial advisor to Trump administration advisors, the report sheds light on the connection between the Trump administration and the spy effort. The report also reveals Susan Gore, founder of the right-wing organization, Wyoming Liberty Group and heir to the Gore-Tex waterproof brand, had become the main financial supporter of the effort. Per NY Times: "Mr. Prince took on the role of celebrity pitchman, according to interviews and documents, raising money for Mr. Seddon’s spying operation, which was aimed at gathering dirt that could discredit politicians and activists in several states. After Mr. Prince and Mr. Seddon met in August 2018 with Susan Gore, a Wyoming heiress to the Gore-Tex fortune, Ms. Gore became the project’s main benefactor." The group reportedly developed a plan to begin their efforts in Gore's home state of Wyoming and eventually expand to more states including Arizona and Colorado. Former Wyoming lawmaker Marti Halverson also provided the group with a shortlist of specific targets that they'd planned to surveil. Those individuals include: Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R), who is referred to as a RINO; John Cox, who previously served as the director of Wyoming's Department of Workforce Service; and Scott Talbott, the former director of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.

The biggest problem is that the biggest polluters have little to no financial incentive to change. They are all about the greatest immediate financial return to their investors and, by extension, their salaries and bonuses.

Talk is cheap. The varuous levels of government in Canada have to put their heads together and come up with a unified, asserive front to deal with these jackholes.

If memory serves, Castillo wants to pursue NFL options. With the vast wage differences, I can't blame him.

Quantum Theory Proves That Consciousness Moves To Another Universe After Death A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe” has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible. Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species. But not so long ago, the scientist became involved with physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. This explosive mixture has given birth to the new theory of biocentrism, which the professor has been preaching ever since. Biocentrism teaches that life and consciousness are fundamental to the universe. It is consciousness that creates the material universe, not the other way around. Lanza points to the structure of the universe itself, and that the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be fine-tuned for life, implying intelligence existed prior to matter. He also claims that space and time are not objects or things, but rather tools of our animal understanding. Lanza says that we carry space and time around with us “like turtles with shells.” meaning that when the shell comes off (space and time), we still exist. The theory implies that death of consciousness simply does not exist. It only exists as a thought because people identify themselves with their body. They believe that the body is going to perish, sooner or later, thinking their consciousness will disappear too. If the body generates consciousness, then consciousness dies when the body dies. But if the body receives consciousness in the same way that a cable box receives satellite signals, then of course consciousness does not end at the death of the physical vehicle. In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the human body and outside of it. In other words, it is non-local in the same sense that quantum objects are non-local.
