They are doing a poor job of letting people know but if you are going to the convention center for the vaccine, you can park for free in the parkade. https://www.wcc.mb.ca/covid-immunization-clinic/

Barring a Sabres-like collapse, the Jets will finish their 12 game split road trip at 7-4-1. Last Monday their “magic number” (points needed in remaining games to clinch a playoff spot) was 43. After tonight it will be 27. Watching Gaudreau try to go around Logan Stanley, and all I can think is “this looks like take your kid to work day”

When I first saw this: I was like, "That's curious..." then I saw this: And now it make total sense... Huh, who would have thought- pizza-gaetz. -I'll show myself out.... I am not even surprised by this... Reading what he's being charged with... Gaetz would have been one of my top three guesses....

Gas Pedal Gaetz under investigation by the DOJ for having a sexual relationship with a 17 year old girl, probably started drinking even earlier today

Have to agree here. I've been downtown a few times over the past few weeks, evening and weekends only, and finding a close spot to the Convention Centre is challenging. Seniors with walkers, canes and other mobility issues trying to get to and from their vehicles blocks away.

fire hose of vaccines incoming. Millions of Pfizer/Moderna per month, AZ shots from USA arrive today (and as soon as they're allowed again - hopefully soon - will be put to use), and now Pfizer says they're going to be upping their June shipment from 4.5 million doses to nearly 10 million. This summer, we's gettin' silly *******.... let's all stay safe till then.

cool little video explaining the covid "arms race"

'These numbers are incredibly encouraging': Vaccines show major success in protecting nursing homes Jacksonville, Fla. - Barbara Bufano gets the COVID-19 vaccine at Naval Hospital Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 15, 2021. Vaccines are currently being offered to on-base health care personnel and first responders assigned to Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Naval Station Mayport and critical national capabilities forces, deploying forces, frontline essential workers, and beneficiaries age 75 and older. COVID-19 vaccines are not available by walk-in for non-hospital personnel. New Covid-19 cases have plummeted by 96% in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities since late December, a report published Tuesday by the industry group American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living revealed. AHCA/NCAL reports (pdf) a decline in new U.S. weekly nursing home cases from 33,540 on December 20 to 1,349 on March 7, according to data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Widespread coronavirus vaccinations began in early January, when new nursing home cases dropped precipitously. The industry groups also said there has been a 91% decline in coronavirus-related deaths in nursing homes, dropping from over 6,000 in December to 547 this month.

Osh only needs to know if the kid is tough enough to wear shorts in a Winnipeg winter. The rest can be taught. 😅

SamCanadian??

It would be nice to think that these suits will bankrupt Faux News, Julliani and the Faux talking heads, but who knows....?

And so it begins- the inexorable weight of the American judicial system turning against Trump at last. He has the money to weather the civil cases and even pay off the plaintiffs, but each successful lawsuit chips away at his self-image of the untouchable "genius" who is anointed by fate to ride roughshod over anyone who dares to oppose him in any measure. He will always have his core of fanatics who will support him regardless of proof, choosing the willing suspension of belief over sanity, but that will dwindle over time.

Trump to be deposed in the Summer Zervos case. By Jonathan Stempel NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York state's highest court on Tuesday cleared the way for a former contestant on "The Apprentice" to sue Donald Trump for defamation, after the former U.S. president called her a liar for accusing him of sexual assault. Trump had argued before leaving the White House on Jan. 20 that Summer Zervos could not pursue her case because a sitting president could not be sued, but the state Court of Appeals said in a brief order that "the issues presented have become moot." A lawyer for Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Zervos' lawyers did not immediately respond to similar requests. The order likely means Zervos' case will return to a Manhattan trial court, and give her lawyers an opportunity to question Trump under oath. Zervos came forward during the 2016 presidential campaign with accusations that Trump subjected her to unwanted kissing and groping after she sought career advice in 2007, two years after her appearance on his reality television show. She sued Trump in January 2017 after he branded such allegations by women "lies" and retweeted a post calling Zervos' claims a "hoax." Zervos has been seeking a retraction or an apology, plus compensatory damages and punitive damages. Trump has denied Zervos' claims, and called her case politically motivated. Former Elle magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll is also suing Trump for defamation, after he denied having raped her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in the mid-1990s. Trump has also denied claims by several other women of improper sexual conduct.

Yeah, my office is a block away from the convention centre. It's been a virtual traffic jam trying to get to the convention centre, cars coming from every direction. My wife got the shot on Sunday, thank goodness she could use my parking space. They need to come up with a better plan.

Manitoba Government needs to get ready and open at least another super site in Winnipeg, with the age qualification going down more and more younger people will be eligible and having 1 downtown location was a bad idea, the placement of that super site has also affected older folks especially ones with mobility issues from getting the vaccine.

Speaking of taglines for pornos...lol

Really curious to see how the Jets look against Toronto on Wednesday. That's a playoff preview...

Man...I disliked the Laine trade...but holy smokes Dubois' play really winning me over. This guy is solid, physical and most importantly cap friendly

Do you think that Kenny and O'Toole want to know this sort of thing? "Plausible deniability" and all that.

That's just my cynicism. My Jets goggles skew my otherwise unbiased opinion

Here's the ridiculous reason the MyPillow guy thinks 'Trump will be back in office in August' MyPillow founder and conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell appeared on former top Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon's streaming TV show promising he has information that will convince the U.S. Supreme Court to invalidate the 2020 presidential election and return Donald Trump to the Oval Office. "What I'm talking about Steve is what I've been doing since January," Lindell said on Real America's Voice. "All the evidence I have – everything is going to go before the Supreme Court and the election of 2020 is going bye-bye." "It was an attack by other countries, communism coming in, I don't know what they're going to do after they pull it down but –" Lindell rambled. "Hang on," Bannon pleaded repeatedly, but Lindell kept going. "Donald Trump will be back in office in August," he declared. Here's the ridiculous reason the MyPillow guy thinks 'Trump will be back in office in August' - Alternet.org Right-wing donors terrified by conservative support for bill to prevent billionaires from buying elections: leaked recording A newly surfaced recording shows a senior adviser to Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell conspiring with the Koch brothers' network and other conservative groups to torpedo sweeping voting rights legislation. The Jan. 8 recording obtained by The New Yorker reveals leading conservative activists are alarmed by public support for House Resolution 1 and Senate Bill 1, commonly known as the For The People Act, and they privately admitted they had no effective way to counter the argument that billionaires should be able to buy elections. "When presented with a very neutral description" of the bill, "people were generally supportive," Kyle McKenzie, the research director for the Koch-run advocacy group Stand Together. "The most worrisome part . . . is that conservatives were actually as supportive as the general public was when they read the neutral description." "There's a large, very large, chunk of conservatives who are supportive of these types of efforts," he added. The election reform bill, which would ban large, anonymous political donations, enjoys broad public support, and McKenzie told participants that Senate Republicans would need to use "under-the-dome" legislative tactics to stop the bill because generally everyone but them agreed billionaires should not be able to buy elections behind the scenes. "Unfortunately, we've found that that is a winning message, for both the general public and also conservatives," McKenzie said. Right-wing donors terrified by conservative support for bill to prevent billionaires from buying elections: leaked recording - Alternet.org The Koch-funded group had spent a lot of money to find persuasive arguments against the bill, but found that even claiming it would allow Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to hold Trump administration officials accountable wasn't particularly effective.

Careful now, otherwise you might get this from Old Brian

It's amazing that our Premier would come out and say that, by April 1st, they could do 20,000 vaccines a day and now that they're getting more, they're not close to it. Where's the fire hose that he said they could turn on?

Well, you guys certainly deserve it.

I'm beating a dead horse here but the CFL has made its own bed. How long have the fans been screaming for more information? We want to know who's on the neg list but for years they wouldn't tell us who's on it. Why? Finally, they open up 10 names. A joke. We want to more about salaries and cap management but they never tell us. Why? It's some sort of secret despite every other pro league manages to get that info out. Gambling is a big deal and all major sports leagues get that but not the CFL. There's money out there to be made. There is a large demographic of fans being ignored because the CFL won't give us the information that every other league provides.

I think thats always huge for the canadian mafia. They always look for guys who are tough nasty and very football smart.

DeMelo gets on the video thumbnail with a +4.

Depends on the time of day I guess because when I went for my 1st dose on Sunday night, there was no line for the parkade. Even the drop-off/pick-up area in front of the convention center only had a couple cars waiting to get in. Street parking was fairly full on Edmonton & Carlton but there was lots open on Broadway, which is where I parked & walked from. I fully expected it to be busier and I showed up early in case I needed to walk from a distance but I was able to find parking easily.

If I was in charge which I'm not but should be I would of put 4 super sites in the 4 corners of the city in unused city arena's for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine. yes you might have to procure 3 more freezers for the storage but maybe you wouldn't and a centralized location would be suitable for housing the vaccines until needed at these sites. The ease of using these arena with a short walk and parking you would of been able to get many more people in and out, sure it would cost more but in these times is money more important that life.

I honestly think the one-on-one interviews are going to weigh HEAVILY.... getting a sense of a kid's personality/attitude will mean a lot.

I was really curious about how itd work with cheating like he touched on. But like he said they draft mostly based on film and production, they arent Al davis drafting who every wins the work out portion of the combine. I will miss the 1 on 1s though, I think thats a big loss.

Our Man Tait with another really great piece about what should be the CFL Combine right now.... worth your click! https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/03/30/2021-cfl-virtual-combine-poses-challenges/

The kicking/redirecting, goal/no goal, is really a pretty ridiculous rule. Just allow either one. Distinguishing between the 2, or trying to, is silly. And I loved the 2 on 1 goal even more when Tkachuk had a tantrum.

Another stupid 3 point game between Edmonton and Toronto tonight. Beyak’s new favourite catch phrase is “finds pipe” for shots off the goal post. Sounds like the tag line for a porno.

Right now its hard not to feel like the CFL is dead. They've got some plans for sure, but boy do they need a lot to go right to have a chance.

Sweet hands, sometimes this guy could just defy the laws of physics...

Yeah, it was pretty sincere... here is the video:

I decided to take spring break off

It's 2021 or bust for the CFL. The league will not survive another cancelled season...and by 2021 season I mean with fans in the stands because a season without fans is a 15 million dollar loss per team easily and that will kill the CFL. This is very sobering, and grim news for our team and our league.

In yesterday's episode of "Fox, Manufacturing Outrage: Culture War Edition"... Love the fact the weather guy had to correct Hegseth in such a "Matter of Fact" way.

Because Miller is the de facto commissioner of the CFL
