in fairness, both those countries are relatively small islands.... it's easier to prevent spread/eliminate the virus....... which is not to take away from the progressive nature of both countries, which did a remarkable job.

I'm no constitutional expert but this seems like the appropriate decision. It recognizes that there is overlap in jurisdiction on the environment and that provinces are not solely impacted by their own environmental decision. I appreciate that this was challenged. Even though I support the carbon pricing, I think it's important to test the boundaries of Fed-Prov jurisdiction and POGG.

Globalism isn't the enemy here. Canada has nobody to blame for this dilemma but itself after dismantling its own domestic infrastructure for vaccine production a few decades ago. That shortsightedness back then is what's put us in this present situation, so pointing fingers at other countries or crying about the Globalist Bogeyman is just childish and ignorant.

Jesus ******* Christ........

female leadership, man...I'm tellin' ya....

Except their country doesn't border with a seemingly insane country...

Right, but there are significant similarities between Australia and Canada. Everything they've done, could have been done here.

How about the two home games that we lost literally in the last seconds (EDM, OTT)? If they hung on for a TOTAL of ~ 9 seconds and went to extra time in both, worst case we're in first place by 2 points right now. Yes I'm still bitter about those loses.

Can we play the rest of the season in Vancouver?

If you are referencing the Calgary facility, it is privately owned and will not be able to produce vaccines until this summer at the earliest, and then there is the approval process, which could take weeks. If Mulroney hadn't shut down Connaught Laboratories, we would have been in much better shape.

No, he's not. Ekhom is a LD. And you should probably just let go of the idea of Morrissey being moved. It's not happening.

there was so little patience shown by Jets fans, it's almost unbelievable....and that's just around here! Never mind HFB, which is basically a lunatic asylum at times...

the man is a total lunatic.... he says they fought the carbon pricing because Albertans are opposed to it and wanted him to fight against it. Well, you dummy, Albertans are opposed to it because you constantly tell them that it's a bad thing. If we had leadership that explained why carbon pricing is actually GOOD, then maybe they'd get on board....ffs.

You laughed @FrostyWinnipeg but I think we're a contending team.

Stanley is developing into exactly what I'd hoped. Honestly, half the fun for me was the Jets "fans" crying about what a wasted pick he was and that he couldn't skate and would never develop. I cheered for him based on that alone, and figured he could at least be Hal Gill, if not exactly Chris Pronger. I think he'll end up somewhere in between, which is just fine with me. Love that kid.

Well said. I’ve said this so many times over the years. Why bother having rules if they’re only enforced occasionally, when it helps even up the PP’s? Call the game according to the rules, at all times, and maybe your integrity would be less under fire.

Once they shrugged their shoulders at children being murdered, the debate was over. They want everything outlawed but their guns. It's a sick, sick culture.

Rasheed Bailey must be happy

Ah Bleep. Was looking forward to seeing Mitchell in Blue and Gold.

Supreme Court rules Ottawa's carbon tax is constitutional

Your blaming the Cov-idiots in the US for Canada's response? Nope, this one is all on our own politicians. I'm sure our Dr's and scientists told our government the same things that New Zealand and Australia's governments were told. Their reaction was significantly different and so are the results.

There were a lot *A LOT* of people that have been calling him a bust since the draft.

They always yell "tax" as the dog whistle. Tax bad! Tax theft! Of course, it's not a tax.

Manitoba is a heavy investor in that facility. Pallister handed his buddy $7M guaranteed. Of course, Pallister doesn't remember serving in gov't with him.

It's all he has. All he's ever done is try to split the country, like Harper did.

Kenney's already on TV whining to the media about the decision and the "Eastern Elites" disrespecting the west again. This clown's tune never changes.

I'm sure the Gov'ts of Alberta and Saskatchewan, now that they've lost this challenge, are about to unveil their plan to tackle climate change imminently. Any day now...

What's weird to me is what's the motive here? What's the reward for purposely evening up calls? To make the refs the focal point of the game? To ensure the fans of the higher penalized team don't get angry? What? This has always punished the disciplined teams. Here's a model. Just call a penalty when warranted dictated by the rule book, be consistent in how these rules are being applied during the game and don't worry about the color of the jersey, the score the game or the time you are at in the game.

Since then he had a solid bounce back year with Hamilton doing both punting and kicking duties and going 100% in the playoffs. Is that not going out and doing your job(s)? Whats a guy gotta do? Not to knit pick but do you think the bombers asked him to make those videos? Marketing and all that?

Oil is clearly trending down and will stay there. But anyone who complains about grain prices is just not paying attention. There are good prices available if you watch the markets and forward contract. And, you can get specialty contracts for crops like high quality oats and malting barley. And all that has nothing to do with ANY government. That was a reasonably good government that also won ridings out here in the rural West. But I am never sure if they can be classified as Liberals - Liberals don't normally slash billions in transfer payments.

Oath Keepers’ Best New Hope Is a Lawyer Who Cites ‘Lord of the Rings’ Prosecutors are said to be considering sedition charges against members of the far-right militia. Now an attorney with a bizarre past is raising cash for them. The Oath Keepers militia has seen better days. Members of the far-right group’s leadership are facing conspiracy charges for their alleged role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Prosecutors are reportedly considering rare sedition charges against those members, and Oath Keepers’ fundraising efforts have stalled after companies like Amazon banned the group from their charity programs. But they have one great, shining hope: a crowd-funding effort spearheaded by a lawyer who recently tried to dissolve Congress and reinstall Donald Trump using a lawsuit that cited politics from Lord of the Rings, the fantasy trilogy about elves. Kellye SoRelle is a failed Texas House candidate and member of the group Lawyers for Trump. After Trump’s re-election loss, she joined a lawsuit that sought to keep him in office, in part by likening the ex-president to a king from the Lord of the Rings’ fictional kingdom of Gondor. Now that a judge has dismissed the elf lawsuit, SoRelle is taking up the Oath Keepers’ defense, raising money for them on a “Christian crowdfunding” website.

classier than durant.

fwiw...

I would think Savard (RHD) is more likely than Ekholm (LHD).

It's honestly disheartening. Even more so if this becomes a trend with players in the middle of their pro careers.

Maybe the CFL, as we know it, just burns to the ground and then one day rises as a Canadian Amateur Football Association, like the very early days. I wouldn't be completely opposed if that happened...

Can't really blame him or other players/coaches etc. Unfortunately way too much uncertainty with the CFL, he's got to take care of himself.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/auditor-general-pandemic-covid-phac-1.5963895 TLDR; Canada got caught with its pants down due to a lack of preparedness regarding a global health crisis.

There is growing evidence that the US is a failed society and empire.

Covid didn't kill enough South Dakotans, so that murder monster is making it easier for more to be murdered.

Ugh, this is some craptacular news. Fack.

For sure we get a little funky over there but most of the time there is a lot of good back and forth just not after a loss 😁

Calgary also has a facility built that is being fitted to manufacture vaccines. Should be up and running later this year.

Wingnut Matt Walsh says the quiet part out loud The right to vote isn't a right at all, but rather a privilege that should be reserved only for those "equipped to take part in the process," writes Matt Walsh, a 27-year-old, far-right talk-show host and blogger, at the Daily Wire this week. Walsh normally would not merit a flicker of attention from normal humans. But in this case, he has provided a valuable service to the non-wingnut world by saying openly what fellow voter suppressors are only thinking. Or perhaps whispering amongst themselves. "No It Isn't Easier To Buy A Gun Than Vote. But It Should Be," proclaimed the headline above Walsh's Daily Wire blog. Obviously, he relished killing two birds with one stone. Walsh bathed in conservative shock-and-awe. After complaining that guns were more costly to obtain and more restricted than voting rights, he wrote: "Gun ownership is, after all, a more important and more essential right than voting. Voting is not really a human right at all, but a privilege that ought to be reserved for those who are the most qualified to do it. The ability to defend yourself and your family is fundamental. We all have the God-given right to ensure our own safety and that of our loved ones." Wingnut Matt Walsh says the quiet part out loud - Alternet.org

Leaving should be fine as long as people don't linger.

The Dutch have a saying: "Don't crap where you might have to sleep"

Don’t worry. There’s always the “PoMo must go!” brigade, and from some of the early comments, Dubois is not going to be given much of a grace period by some fans around here.

Had a thought where it would be interesting to track thru the season ugly wins versus good wins knowing that comes with many complexities and elements of subjectivity. You hear constantly a win is a win but from a coaches standpoint that doesn’t necessarily land well at times.
