If you work in the Health field it should be mandatory.

Vax #2 complete. Going to a pharmacy is so fast and painless. Got a loaf of bread and an Americano on the way out!

Twice in one day. He must really want to get out of there! (As would I)

Any time I see an american OL signing I get worried a retirement is coming.

This is a huge part of the anti-vax rhetoric. They know people in the medical field who don't get vaccinated - which then affirms their strange beliefs.

Seems like such a little thing, but I love a DB who looks back for the ball instead of watching the receiver's hands/eyes. It's what made Winston Rose sooooo good.

Disgusting. **** that franchise and their entitled fans. Every bit as bad as Leafs, Riders, Yankees and Cowboys fans....... Pray to everything holy that either NYI or Tampa can end this thing before it gets any worse.

in Trump world, military people are "suckers". that bragging about paying for sex juvenile ass gaetz, is extended family. they care for the military people the same as they did for the cops guarding the capital. not one bit.

this is just FABULOUS news....

so ******* amped..... of course I'm working the night of the first game, but should be good after that. Even just TC updates from Our Man Tait..... just could not be more excited.

I really think this would be huge if a streaming service such as Netflix was an official streamer of CFL and XFL. Could reach an international audience and if they did shows like Last Chance U you would get people watching that have no connection to football watching. I know a lot of people of who now watch F1 because of the there show on Netflix.

That's the thing about loosened restrictions: just because you now CAN do something (e.g. go out to a restaurant, have 10 people over in your backyard) doesn't mean you SHOULD. Unfortunately most people will react like they're at the mall on Boxing Day morning.

We should not be moving to orange... Delta Variant says "Hi".

I don't know why but even though new cases and the TP is getting lower and the vaccination rate gets higher I feel like it's still not safe enough

I was thinking the same thing......hopefully just depth for camp! (.....but I am mildly concerned about Big Stan...)

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announce the following roster transactions.

Selfish ******.

Riders OL got hit again. Tacoby Cofield retires.

Its got all the hallmarks of a fascist take over. History tells us, or perhaps screams that's bad news for their neighbors. The effects of climate change will elevate this. I dont always agree with Jared Diamond but believe he is right that enviromental issues often cause unrest/ collapse/ violence......At the best of times they have been a self absorbed nation who can't recognise or admit their faults. They will be seeking bad guys cause it ain't their fault, right ?

"Nearly all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. now are in people who weren’t vaccinated, a staggering demonstration of how effective the shots have been and an indication that deaths per day — now down to under 300 — could be practically zero if everyone eligible got the vaccine." associatedpress

In a shameless attempt to boost my status from “Newbie” to “Rookie” and earn more badges (bit of a slow starter apparently having been here for 8 years), and also as a follow up to the “what I learned today” thread, thought I would float out this random topic so we can all see what things we have never achieved that seemingly everyone else in the world would have done. So I will begin: Huge movie buff, but I have never seen Gone With the Wind, Citizen Kane, or Sound of Music to name but 3. Huge TV fan but have never seen Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Mad Men, Everybody Loves Raymond, or Arrested Development. Love to travel, and even went to communist Russia, but I have never ever set foot in Quebec. And finally, have lived in Manitoba all my life, but I have never caught a fish.

Schitts creek was gold well before Netflix discovered it. Much like the CFL

Netflix made Schitts Creek a thing, apparently they can make anything into gold.

41 Days.

well what matters is he's going to be doing time

Cool. Didn't know that.

Except that the Habs deserve every success they get by the way they're playing. They seem to win almost every puck race and their sticks are unbelievable. I've found reasons to hate them, but I'm pulling for Price and Weber.

While you might be technically correct, people in our rural neighbourhood also referred to the pigs' feet version as "head cheese".

Humans frighten me, but I will try.

I think you need to call the booking line and talk to an actual human. They should get you sorted out.

Some evidence suggests it is for caregivers to give to children so I might just cancel it and let the wolves fight over it.

While people are praising Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley for his testimony in Congress lets not forget that he walked with Trump and his cronies after people were cleared and hurt so Trump could get his photo op wearing Combat Fatigues.

Capitol rioter attempts to downplay her actions after giving apology in court The first individual sentenced in connection with the Capitol insurrection attempted to downplay the deadly event just days after sharing an apology before a federal judge. Anna Morgan-Lloyd, who pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor trespassing charge for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, appeared on Fox News for an interview where she offered her real opinion on the U.S. Capitol riots and those who participated. Although multiple people died as a result of the insurrection, Morgan-Lloyd claimed most rioters were "polite as they attacked the Capitol." Capitol rioter attempts to downplay her actions after giving apology in court - Alternet.org DOJ Sues Georgia, Says GOP-Backed Restrictions Unlawfully Target Black Voters. The Justice Department has made its first move against one of the voting laws passed in the wake of Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. The Justice Department is suing the state of Georgia, it announced Friday, over a restrictive voting law passed in response to former President Donald Trump’s lies about mass voter fraud in the 2020 election. The lawsuit, which was first reported by Mother Jones, will allege that the Georgia law was enacted with the purpose of denying or abridging the rights of Black voters in the state. The Justice Department alleges that Georgia’s law was passed through a rushed process that departed from normal procedure, and contained provisions ― including limits on drop boxes for absentee ballots and on providing food and water to voters waiting in long lines ― that were passed with unlawful discriminatory intent. A New York Times analysis of the law, which was signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), found 16 key provisions that limit ballot access in the state, particularly in urban and suburban counties that lean Democratic. The lawsuit is being filed eight years to the day after the Supreme Court, in a majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, struck down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Those provisions required states with a history of racist voting laws to get preclearance from the federal government before implementing new voting laws. DOJ Sues Georgia, Says GOP-Backed Restrictions Unlawfully Target Black Voters | HuffPost Donald Trump Reportedly Wanted Military To ‘Beat The F**k’ Out Of George Floyd Protesters Former President Donald Trump wanted a violent military response to civil rights protesters who took to the streets following the police killing of George Floyd last year, according to a new book. Trump reportedly told advisers that he wanted soldiers to “beat the ****” out of the mostly peaceful demonstrators, according to an excerpt from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender’s “‘Frankly, We Did Win This Election’: The Inside Story Of How Trump Lost” that was published by CNN on Thursday. “Just shoot them,” Trump reportedly repeatedly demanded. He is also quoted as saying he wanted to “crack their skulls.” Donald Trump Reportedly Wanted Military To ‘Beat The F**k’ Out Of George Floyd Protesters | HuffPost

Too bad its being paid for by the following generations... FFS.

My wife's old school Ukrainian grandmother ALWAYS has that around the house. I dry heaved the first time I was at her house and saw it on the table. My father in law was raised on it and thinks it's the greatest thing. I just can't imagine anything grosser....

Is that what they call “head cheese?”

MTL going to Cup final. Beat VGK in overtime. MTL vs NYI?

I had ever heard of these until you mentioned them, I do chat with a Kiwi fairly regularly on another forum so I asked him. This is what he told me: Two camps. Hate em or Love em. I don't love em, but son and Mrs do. Have a tree at home, over produces. Passionfruit size. Cut in half and scoop out whitish pulp like a kiwifruit/chinese gooseberry. Taste sort of like guava?

Lol. For some reason I got it posted twice.

Oof- Gaetz should just sit the rest of life out. Here is Milley responding to Gaetz talking about the "wokeness" of the military. To put into context

Tonight at 7pm is officially 14 days from my second dose. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to feel an incredible sense of relief. While I will be wearing my mask and social distancing for a long while yet, it's going to be a major weight off the shoulders....

Bloomberg Green: "California endured a six-year drought that ended in 2017, one of the state’s longest and most severe dry spells. Experts warn of worse conditions in the state this summer. “We have never seen drought at the scale and the intensity that we see right now, and it is possible that this may be the baseline for the future,” Klein warns. Swain terms this process the aridification of the West—a complete shift in the region’s climate. “It is hard to call it drought anymore because it is a permanent state of being,” he says. “Things are moving in one direction rather than going back and forth.” looking like things are irreversible. still need action, but ...... waited too long. baby boomers will not be loved by their descendents.

I was worried last week or the week before that we would never see 80% first doses. We administered 3482 first doses yesterday and that is higher than it was when I looked last week or the week before. It seems like the incentive to get vaxxed is getting through and the hesitant ones are starting to get their shots. I am more hopeful now that we will hit the target than I have been in a long time.

Yup. After the Jets are eliminated, all I'm saying is 'go remaining players in my playoff hockey pool'.

In most jurisdictions, this would lead to fewer accidents and better traffic flow. However, it will inevitably be clogged up by the d-bag who stops in the merge lane and waits for all traffic to pass, just like in every other interchange or merge lane in the city. But, I know of many who travel on Hwy 3 to commute, so it will hopefully make things safer and easier for them.

"Canada will not approve new thermal coal mining projects or plans to expand existing mines because of the potential for environmental damage, Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said on Friday. "The government considers that these projects are likely to cause unacceptable environmental effects within federal jurisdiction and are not aligned with Canada's domestic and international climate change commitments," he said."

Oregon drought https://thecounter.org/oregon-farms-water-klamath-river-drought-salmon/ "On April 14, the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), a federal agency that oversees the Klamath irrigation project, announced that farmers would only get 33,000 acre-feet of water this year due to drought conditions—the lowest allotment in its history. The project spans from southern Oregon to northern California. For context, farmers saythey need 400,000 acre-feet in drought years. That didn’t stop the Klamath Drainage District (KDD) in southern Oregon—a public entity contracted to deliver water in the region—from turning on the spigot for its constituents two days later. Growing resentment from farmers has caused some to worry about potential violence this year. Last Thursday, the “People’s Rights” group announced a call to farmers and ranchers in the basin to “STAND UP AND PROTECT YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY, YOUR WATER!” People’s Rights is the far-right militia group founded by Ammon Bundy, known for leading a takeover of a federal wildlife refuge in 2016. There’s got to be some retreat in the Klamath Basin,” said Dan Tarlock, a professor emeritus of environmental law at the Illinois Institute of Technology, who has written extensively about water conflicts in the basin. “I think it’s pretty clear there’s not enough water to support the existing level of agriculture.” there is going to be water shortage violence. and americans will want canada to give them water.

My son works at a care home here in Rural MB and says there are a several workers that aren't vaccinated . It drives him nuts. Absolute stupidity.
