It's with mistrust of "mainstream" media in general, IMO. However, that speaks to a much broader issue in terms of media literacy and it's an issue that doesn't just affect Canada. Our proximity to the US helps nothing, as that dumpster fire burns hot and bright enough to negatively influence our sociopolitical and media landscapes. Those who seem not to trust what's reported by major news/media outlets in Canada rarely, if ever, substantiate their claims of political bias or favouritism with anything of substance. Anecdotal or hyperbolic statements isn't evidence, much in the same way opinion pieces aren't. Factual reporting should be what matters above all else and the Big 3 here in Canada (CBC News, CTV News, and Global News) all have solid reputations of verifiably factual reporting. Anyway, speaking of the Murica Dumpster Fire burning Canada: What an oxygen thief.

Just curious but does anyone know what's up with Cam Meredith?

RIP to a comedy legend.

Another fun memory from 2010: The hit on Szarka was phenomenal and it's a shame that play didn't stand due to the horsecollar tackle. EDIT: Not sure if this qualifies as obscure, but it was a fun game and also the last Banjo Bowl victory at CanadInns Stadium.

He's batshit. And has been for years. He occasionally gets his shitty columns put into the Winnipeg Sun, which is just right fuckered, IMO. Here's the full video of his batshittiness: https://www.c-span.org/video/?100515-1/libertarianism-race

I'm ripping on his shitass leadership and ongoing politicization of a global health crisis, to be clear. If you think I'm sharing a news article to poke fun at Albertans suffering because of his clown antics, you're sorely mistaken.

As far as saliva ejecta goes, is a fan blowing into a horn any different than a fan yelling and cheering at the top of their lungs? There'd be ample spittle in either case being projected from a horn or mouth.

Does dickishness run the in the Dickenson family? Asking for a friend.

Yeah, I should've clarified better. He gets his share of fault in either case but I wouldn't put it all entirely at his feet, the 2001 team in particular. They were by and large full of themselves and didn't seem to take things seriously going into that championship game. The fumble in the 2007 East Final was just brutal to watch but that seemed like a botched play from the snap. Blink had immense talent but his work ethic and attitude didn't always seem up to par. And then whatever off field issues he had only exacerbated things. As far as championships go, however, I'm of the opinion it's win as a team, lose as a team with 2001 and 2007 not being exceptions.

This. His departure via trade during the 2008 season was so unceremonious and disappointing (regardless of the reasons), IMO. He was such a joy to watch during his time with this team. Still chaps my ass the 2001 juggernaut couldn't get the job done but I'd argue several players on that team got fat and sassy at the wrong time and were punched in the mouth in that GC game by an underdog. I don't think Charles alone is to blame for that one, much in the same way he's not solely to blame for the 2007 GC loss.

Hopefully, Grant is back sooner than later. Nelson ain't it.

These bible thumpers are certifiable.

Did the Riders retire this piece of **** or...?

It's not an either or scenario. And you probably know that.

Fleury fell over the edge years ago and seems to have enjoyed his descent into misinformed idiocy. Just another covidiot loser from the looks of it. Speaking of which: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-mla-peter-guthrie-covid-unvaccinated-1.6167172 Alberta is a disaster.

Rose back in the secondary would be unreal!

FTFY If the last 18 or so months have taught me nothing else, it is this: By and large, complete windowlicking dipshits run the show on Planet Earth.
