    Just do what I do... propagate the "Vaccine Shedding" theory. Seriously, some of those die hard antivaxxers will literally wear a mask because they are afraid of vaccine shedding.

    Oh my god that's it. We have to make the conspiracy come full circle and spread propaganda that the anti-vaxxers are actually run by the government to prevent people from getting the steroid-enhanced vaccine that helps increase brain capacity by 60%. GENIUS.

  4. Dubois has been a disappointment up till now.....Would we be faring any better with Laine in the lineup??....I remember Patrik went missing when we were eliminated by Cal. last year....Which brings me to this little nugget from last year....Schief was put out of that series against the Flames last year by Tkachuk, on a dirty hit against the boards that left Mark writhing on the ice....Did he even get a penalty on the play (never mind suspension)...This league has lost a lot of credibility as far as I'm concerned...It seems it was okay to knock one of our stars out of the playoffs last year, on a very dangerous play to our players health and career....and the league did nada....Double standard that's for sure.............Anyway....I hope this team isn't crying in their beer because of a serious over-step by the league...Go out there and at least play like you want to win....give these buggers a run....I noticed we're not hitting at all like we did with the Oilers...At least we can give ol Mount Royal a little punishing before they head to the next round, so they can limp into the next series......I hate going out like a bunch of wooses

    Definitely hoping we go with some kind of vaccine passport. As Rich said, some people can't get vaccinated. Just as having unvaccinated kids in school puts kids that can't get a vaccine at risk, having unvaccinated people at a Bombers game makes it a risky endeavor for those who may not be able to get vaccinated. I may be willing to offer a concession if the anti-vaxxers agreed to wear a mask the whole time, unfortunately the anti-vaxxers are often anti-maskers as well.

    Rep. Mike Nearman is a traitor -- New video shows him coaching how to breach the Capitol Pro-Trump website 'TheDonald' confirms detailed plans to storm Capitol and kill members of Congress Mike Nearman is the man who let armed protestors into the Oregon Capitol building in December, which led to a violent encounter with the police who were trying to remove them. The protestors attacked the police and used pepper spray. Nearman willfully endangered their lives, along with the lives of his fellow lawmakers and Capitol staff. Although the original video of him letting them in was pretty damning, a new video has emerged that made no doubt that it was planned. The new video shows Nearman walking his constituents through on how to breach the Capitol building, step-by-step, in a scheme called "Operation Hall Pass." He gives instructions on how to text him, where to stand, and how to get in. He knows what he is doing is illegal, which is why he intersperses his instructions with coy language. He says he will deny knowledge of the scheme, and that he will give out a random number---which happened to be his cell phone number. He was speaking to an anti-union group called the Freedom Foundation, which is funded by billionaires such as Charles Koch and the DeVos family. The Democrats in charge of the legislature have already stripped him of his committee assignments, and forced him to give up his badge to access the building. They have asked him to resign, but he has refused. The Oregon GOP is, as expected, deadly silent (complicit)—just as the national Republicans are about January 6th. Nearman also faces criminal charges. Rep. Mike Nearman is a traitor -- New video shows him coaching how to breach the Capitol - Alternet.org Steve Schmidt's dire warning: US just one election away from permanent Trumpian autocratic rule Lincoln Project co-founder and GOP strategist turned Democrat Steve Schmidt, ahead of Donald Trump's speech this weekend to the North Carolina Republican Party issued a dire warning: America is just one election away from permanent autocratic rule from the former president and his allies. In a 512 word Twitter thread Schmidt warns that Republicans have grown even stronger since the January 6 insurrection, and those who think Trump being out of the spotlight and off social media has weakened him are "fools." He also urges the media to stop focusing on the demise of Trump's blog. Trump is the "presumptive nominee" for the 2024 presidential election, Schmidt, a student of history, says, warning that "elected officials of the Republican Party are obedient soldiers in Trump's cult of personality." "His words will surely kill again," Schmidt says. Here's the entire Twitter thread in full (a few minor changes made in capitalization due to the way Schmidt writes his tweets): Steve Schmidt's dire warning: US just one election away from permanent Trumpian autocratic rule - Alternet.org

  17. Laine was missing because he like Scheifs was injured. When they both went down that series was over. Player safety is a complete joke. I theorize that Dubois is playing injured. You can see his range of motion is limited and when he tries to extend with the puck, he loses control. I wouldnt write him off just yet though. Kid has tonnes of potential. Amazing what an off season and proper training camp might do for a player.

    he's a long time establishment Democrat. a person with the slightest bit of sense would look at January 6th, where some of their lives were in extreme danger from Mcconnell's followers, and wake up. not these people. The Republicans are destroying American Democracy, with zeal. That group does not seem to be capable of grasping what they are confronting. they are Chamberlins. appeasers, yeah, cowards.

    I am reading that biden is making deals with mitch. If he chokes, , for the sake of making an agreement with the Republican insurrectionist organisation, as Obama did, the consequences will be large. I had hope, but its fading fast. save the rules, for the appearance of the system working, lose the country. and beyond. cheaping out on climate change = we are at the end.

    ...at least there will be social distancing, masks, and the appropriate transport for attendees.....right? Traveled to Myanmar in the 90's. This "comparison" is utterly grotesque, even by Trumpian standards.

  25. I understand the disappointment, but the Jets lost by 1 goal, with a B squad lineup. 0-2 blows, but all is not lost. That being said, is anyone a handyman that can come and patch up the holes I punched in my walls?

  40. I'll tell ya, that entire weekend in Calgary was something special. I'm a big believer in "Everything happens for a reason..." and while there are a lot of days where I scratch my head wondering how the hell I ended up living and working in west central Alberta, that weekend was like "Ohhhh....this is why I'm here...." I'll never forget that weekend as long as I live.

  41. Just finished watching it again. It seems so fitting at the end of the game for the last turnover of the game to make way for the offense to knee down in victory formation. Whew, that was a really magical GC run.

    Correct, and that is why we need to keep vigilant over our elected officials and community leaders of all sorts. As Mark Twain said, "Politicians and diapers need to be changed often and for the same reasons."

    Expecting all leaders of aboriginal communities to be smarter than, say, Kenney or certain Manitoba cabinet ministers is unrealistic. People are people and some will have brain cramps and some will ignore common-sense rules. Same as police and even clergy.

    I would just like to take a moment to voice my displeasure with the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakinak chief and council for violating public health orders right now as I type this. A memoriam service to the 215 is being held in Thompson at a residential school memoriam with a gathering of about 150 ppl in attendance. I understand the need for this for healing but this should have been livestreamed and our Grand Chief and Council should have respected the Public Health Orders currently in place. Shame on you MKO for putting lives at risks like this. Northern reserves have been under the harshest restrictions since the pandemic began and this runs contrary to all messaging so far by you and the POM. The 215 was a disgusting find and it brought back a lot trauma from res school survivors but we are also in the midst of a pandemic that is adversely effecting your membership as many reserves are on lockdown right now.

    Further to the topic of reconciliation, it can never happen until the Indian Act is abolished. It is a document that strips aboriginals of many freedoms and rights and allows for the government, both federally and local first nation governance, to abuse the people. It does not allow us to define ourselves, it does not allow us to own property on our home lands, it does not allow us to monitor our own governance, it is even the legislation that allowed residential schools in the first place, these among many other rights and freedoms that every other citizen of Canada holds dear. It is paternalistic, outdated, and racist. As long as this piece of crap legislation is allowed to exist aboriginals will forever be 2nd rate citizens through an act of parliament. I'll just give you an example. My grandfather's home, where he raised 11 children for the past 45 years, and was the hub for all of us to gather was taken away by his home reserve recently a couple year's after his death. Although my two aunts and a couple of their children lived there it was deemed that someone else needed the house more so they were evicted and another family moved in. My aunts were forced to go live with other siblings in their houses with their families and our entire family lost our gathering place. Who does this sort of thing and how is it allowed? Check the Indian Act for answers.

    My friend, I had to leave to have a chance at success. The government doesn't want to fix this problem imo because this is how they depopulate the reserves. I worked hard and became a successful businessman but I could never have done that on reserve because the avenues available are just not the same. Lending for on reserve business is near impossible to attain because you can never own the property for collateral. No industry/business means no jobs for people. If I could have owned my house and borrowed against the equity I might have stayed on reserve and been able to have a successful business that employs others and help to end the abject poverty and the social conditions it creates. The government needs to get our people working so that they can have a sense of self worth, need to let us own land in our own name on reserve so that we can take pride in our work and possessions. So as it stands the reserves all get a massive exodus from the youth who most want to make an honest living because that is the only option. Steven Harper's apology was beautiful and heartfelt. I have no doubt about that. It meant a lot to us. I just wish the governments since then would have followed up.

Which is to say nothing of no real apologies or remorse being expressed.
