  1. I was reading an article, which I'm going to go look for again, that discussed how the failures of developing an HIV vaccine accelerated the success of the Covid vaccines. Everything they learned trying new and different techniques have given researchers many new tools in their fight against other viruses. Investment in science does not always have the immediate and obvious desired outcomes but we learn a lot from our failures.
  2. They won't suddenly get better. Torts is a terrible coach but those two are not getting much better.
  3. I haven't seen him in the top half of the draft or top 5 RB all year. Maybe, his pro day will help.
  4. There has been no information on the start of the season. The players are reporting in month or not or ??? We don't know. We don't even know under what conditions they need to get it going.
  5. One of the Capital police officers has died.
  6. TSN has a financial incentive for the CFL and XFL to merge. You can bet they'll continue to push the narrative that nothing can work.
  7. You can see the Stanley Cup in downtown Toronto, at the Hall of Fame. It's a neat relic from the olden days.
  8. Who? Are these NHLers? I recognize Gretzky from his Greyhound days.
  9. Toronto media has been on overdrive today trying to figure out how the Laffs match up against the other divisions now that they've eliminated the Jets and won the North.
  10. But didn't really have much of a defense. It is what it is.
  11. It will be back tomorrow, after April 1st.
  12. So, that I don't have to bother listening to that racist turd, why is the GOP mad at Canada?
  13. Cue @Noeller with a Yellowstone recommendation.
  14. One thing that a merger (or whatever it is) will do, will be to introduce alternate media coverage. I think TSN has been a good partner for the CFL; however, I do not think the exclusive relationship has produced the best possible situation. The competition in the US, over the NFL, has created better and better broadcasts and coverage. I don't think we've benefitted from that up here without competition. I think TSN could use some competition!
  15. Both sides need to agree. It's an easy one for the CFL to give up, when they don't have more money to spend. Give the players these concessions and save money on the bottom line.
  16. We just can't match the money that they can make down south. I wish we could find a way to allow them opportunities and still give them multi-year deals. But, I can't blame the players for wanting these deals. All deals are effectively one-year deals to the teams, anyhow. The players need some leverage.
  17. Gee, you're part of a group of whiny man-babies, who promote a "masculine" culture of violence, misogyny and racism. Fox, a wing of the GOP, is a breading ground and a beacon for sexual predators.
  18. Interesting poll. I don't think it would play out with an NDP majority. In fact, I still think the PCs would take the majority; however, it shows how much the PCs have fallen. I don't think it particularly means that NDP have risen but, rather, are benefitting from the PCs fall.

    Covid-19

    Have to agree here. I've been downtown a few times over the past few weeks, evening and weekends only, and finding a close spot to the Convention Centre is challenging. Seniors with walkers, canes and other mobility issues trying to get to and from their vehicles blocks away.
