Gord Miller doesn't come across arrogant when he calls CFL games. Him and Matty have good chemistry and are my favorite duo to watch regardless of whatever teams are playing. I also don't really care about Miller having a face for radio and don't understand the importance of having an attractive PBP guy to call CFL games?

I think they basically just decided that #BLM protests were too important and they didn’t want to deal with the optics of shutting them down. I think they’re rolling the dice on this one.

This Story of the 95-Year-Old Man Who Caught Four Buses to March Against Racism https://www.oprahmag.com/life/a28860166/95-year-old-man-new-zealand-racism-march/?utm_campaign=socialflowFBOPR&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social-media Thats pretty damn good. Inspiring.

Because no specifics for how you would protect the elderly are ever stated. You would have to do a lot more than tighten restrictions at personal care homes.

Such a gooder. This one is excellent, too: Murica is going down the shitter by the day with this orange pustule in charge.

You mean dis-Barred?

You know something is amiss when this is expected and almost normalized.

Although The Smell Is The Same......

Former Harvard psychiatrist Lance Dodes: Trump is trying to "turn America into a police state" Dr. Lance Dodes: As Trump sinks into "paranoid rage," he will likely seek to cancel or overturn 2020 election The protests sparked by the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day continue. This people's uprising against police brutality and social injustice have spread far beyond Minnesota Minneapolis to all 50 states and around the world. Donald Trump is a destroyer, not a healer. Given his tendencies toward authoritarianism, even fascism, Trump is only capable of sowing more division in a nation convulsing in pain and anger over the murder of George Floyd, the resulting explosion of police violence and what that reveals about our extreme levels of social inequality and broader culture of cruelty. https://www.salon.com/2020/06/07/former-harvard-psychiatrist-lance-dodes-trump-is-trying-to-turn-america-into-a-police-state/

The BLM movement was a long time in coming. It’s unfortunate it has to have happened at any time, but it could be a dangerous time for all involved. But, it is better to have happened after flattening the curve than before or during its peak. You're right though, there would have been WAY more trouble had the world tried to stop these protests while they were playing out.

Ok, fair comments. 👍 Some of the procedures you mentioned are in place at schools, so changes in other work places should not be far behind, or already in place. Where it gets tricky is when people have pre - existing conditions and/or compromised immune systems. Also, not all of our elderly citizens live in personal care homes.

Oh God... after clicking on that link I need a silkwood shower now....

Pepper spray is not a chemical irritant...? Well, it's official: Barr is a ******* idiot.

Incorrect. COVID-19 is highly contagious, hence the measures and restrictions taken.

On an unrelated note: Blake Wheeler made an impassioned and uncomfortable statement on racism a couple of days ago. It confirmed my opinion of him as one of the good guys.

As Republicans see that Trump has no chance in Hell of winning and that impacts their own chances of re-relection, we will probably see more and more rats deserting the sinking ship. I don't think that Trump's overt racism, stupidity, corrcuption and fascism bothers them- its all about their self-interest in hanging onto their jobs and power.

There’s a bit of a Republicans for Biden movement. They say country over party. Hopefully it gains traction. Influential Republicans can make a difference.

Stable genius - part 1

love the replies. “Too far”. “Who will stop these anarchists”. “You shouldn’t destroy history”. Bristol was one of the largest hubs for slave trading.

Where is the spit take emojii when you need it?

That's why I think that he needs a well spoken articulate and aggressive VP pick, someone who will keep Trump's campaign in check and call out Trump for his misdeeds and lies, yup still on the Kamala Harris bandwagon

The MAGA cult will just proclaim that Bush is yet another Globalist Deep State agent.

thousands of people rallying in THUNDER BAY? whoah https://www.tbnewswatch.com/video/tbt-newshour/video-june-5-2020-black-lives-matter-rally-draws-thousands-2414516

And you're an active poser on this forum. So, you're engaging in the so-called "lord of flies" thing, too. Just because COVID-19 tends to affect the elderly more than any other population demographic doesn't mean we should just return to "normal" we had before. This novel virus has and still can kill people who are not old or in nursing homes. That's the reason why measures have been taken around the world to try and slow down the spread of it.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!

Trump is reviled to a extent that makes Nixon look like Mother Teresa.

I'm so torn because on one hand I can see that you are terribly sexist and God only knows what else..... But on the other hand, I'm a big believer that the best person available should get the job, and not shoehorn someone in just to fill a quota.

wow!

Fair point - I'd probably think Mike Hogan is the natural choice then

Two reasons. One, she's not particularly good at what she does. I have no doubts she's very nice, but she stumbles her way through every hit she does, be it Jets or Bombers games. Two, just because you are a sideline reporter doesn't mean you can do PBP. Not sure how many times I have to tell people, it's an extremely unique skillset that takes years of practice to become even adequate at.

I guess if he's ok with gassing and beating peaceful protesters for a photo op... this is on brand.

There is no good oops.

The irony of build that wall is so, as Dr.Oz would say, appetizing.

I won’t do double speak like you do. If you can’t see how the world tried to overcome this unknown virus, then go back to watching you tube videos before those other experts get purged.

He wants to do NHL broadcasts. How hard is that to understand?

Suitor has all the answers....you don’t even have to ask him...he’ll tell you.

I just admire the way he can tell what players are thinking. That’s insight beyond what any analyst is expected to have.

TSN is delusional if they consider Suitor to be a competent analyst.

Manitoba reports no new probable cases of #COVID19 today, leaving the total at 300.

Maybe the vaccine turns out to be one that is only given to older people - or maybe people will need a booster shot when they're older. But I do think, based on the stats and information we now have, that the approach to Covid 19 will change. Eg. I don't think schools will be completely closed again, but procedures will change and we might see a blend of remote and on - site learning. One thing that does bother me in all of this, is the people who find ways to take advantage. Eg. they are 'isolating at their cabin' and require 6 weeks worth of school work for their child.

Anti - vax rhetoric deserves to be shouted down.

Would love to see that. Would REALLY love to see the press corps, in unison, kneel at his next press briefing. He would throw a KINIPSHIT.
