  1. My concern with the way the Provincial Conservative governments have been running is to hack and slash at the health care programs to the point where they can point to them and say "see how broken the health care system is, we need to privatize it in order to fix it". For some reason, they seem to think that the American model of health care is the better way to go, and all evidence world wide points to the contrary. A healthy public health system is the best option for society as a whole.

    Covid-19

    Going to get mine tomorrow. Booked an appointment at Shoppers Drug Mart for it yesterday.
  3. I think the part that they saw that worked was it won an election down there and all they are looking for is to have power for the sake of being able to say that they have power. There's no platform because it doesn't matter, if they can spew garbage and win, that's all that they want.
  4. Yeah, that's what the article says.
  5. https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/06/15/blue-bombers-to-wear-white-jerseys-vs-hamilton-june-24/
  6. Ah, ok that kinda makes sense, though I did think that it had to cross the plane within the field of play, I wasn't aware that it extended beyond. The fact that he hit the pylon was irrelevant then and just makes for a better video for the highlight reel.
  7. The start of the white line is the plane of the goal line. The ball doesn't have to cross into the green, it just has to cross into the white. That being said, I'm surprised that touching the front or outside of the pylon counted as a TD as that is clearly out of bounds. I always though the players had to touch the inside of the pylon for it to count and was surprised that Bailey's dive was counted as a score.
  8. I didn't see Hansen there so not all of the injured guys were there, but Agudosi and Wolitarski definitely were.
  9. I saw the 9range cone move from the upper deck, but I thought he hit the outside of it. I was a bit confused by the TD call because I thought you had to touch the inside for it to count. Amazing shots of it on the tv replay though, that tiptoe and dive was incredible.
  10. Probably the least amount of green I've seen in the crowd for any home game against Sask. Good on Bomber fans to buy up the seats before Rider fans could.
  11. 1) Bomber O who scored on every drive until well into the 4th quarter. 2) Run game for lots of 2nd and short plays. 3) Bomber D who only allowed 13 points, none in the 2nd half. HH To Sara who was wrapping up getting pictures taken with fans and took the extra time to get one with my daughter.
  12. Unfortunately the people who are saying that are the ones who broke it in the first place...

    Covid-19

    Me choosing to wear a mask doesn't stop me from moving forward in life. There seem to be people around who think that wearing a mask (forced or by their own choice) is living in fear or virtue signaling and that's just BS. It is being cautious, and in the case where a person has a cough, sore throat, consistent sneezing, then wearing a mask is a courtesy that they are doing for others. Whether it's Covid or not, masking in public when you have symptoms of anything is something that we should have always been doing as far as I'm concerned. I don't like getting sick with anything, so knowing what I know now, I will do what I can (within reason) to help reduce the risk of that happening. Right now, that's wearing a mask in indoor public places as much as possible. I wear a mask when I'm at my office even though it's not mandatory and I'm the only one wearing it, with the exception of the 1 or 2 people who have worn them when they have had a sore throat or cough (non-Covid). I take it off to eat lunch at my desk and put it back on when I'm done... in doing so, I'm reducing my possible exposure to whatever may be floating around the air. Is it 100%, no, but it's something that gives me a bit of peace of mind.

    I'm not talking about you when I say that, I'm talking about the world in general... just look at the politics stuff that's going on right now... if it's not hate it's a very strong dislike.

    Covid-19

    In my mind, the bolded part is the big issue with society in general... rather than saying that we will all look out for each other, it's every man for themselves. If everyone would take a step back and say, I'm going to do this to help others (and I'm not just talking about masks here), then people could and would be happier and the world would be a better place. The selfish attitude of "I'm only going to look out for myself because nobody else will" is why there's so much hate out there.

    Covid-19

    You wearing a mask protects you from the people who are sick (with anything ie. cold, flu, covid, etc.), or protects others if you happen to be sick. It's common in other parts of the world for people who are or have been sick to wear a mask as a courtesy to others and I think it would be nice if people here did the same. Nothing political or anything about that, just courtesy for others. Is a mask 100% effective, no, but neither are condoms or birth control yet people continue to use them. To the comment that someone made about it restricting air flow... sure, a little, but if you have a proper fitting mask with some structure to it so that it doesn't get sucked into your mouth when you breath, it's not a problem to wear for the better part of a day. I've done workouts and played sports with a mask on with little to no effect on my performance, so the air flow couldn't have been restricted all that much.
  17. Saw what looked like an elbow to the chin as well on the replay, so on top of pounding the QB into the turf there was a bit of a headshot as well.
  18. I did not know that they dropped the number of reffing crews. Do you know why they do this?
  19. Don't think ratio would be the case as QBs are non-counters aren't they?
  20. I thought the tie break was the person who selected the most different players through the season.... or am I thinking of a different game?
  21. It's almost as if they want the population to stay poorly educated... because the polls show that they don't do well among the higher educated.
  22. Park on Kingston Crescent and walk over the bridge to BDI... much easier than dealing with Jubilee at the best of times.
  23. Some of the sunsets at IGF have been pretty spectacular as well. I sit in the upper deck on the East side and have a great view of it at every game.
  24. The number of comments about how this is a new thing is strange to me because every game in Montreal that I can remember has had those horns. I just took a quick look back at an old youtube of a Montreal game from 2010 and I could hear it... not as incessantly as last night, but it's been around for a while... and by the looks of the couple, it's likely been them the whole time.
