    Covid-19

    The Superintendent for Pembina Trails told the Trustees last Thursday that October 26th was only a suggestion for implementing 2 meter distancing and they were targeting November 2nd for implementation. Of course, they have no plan. They've been without one for the past 7 months. It befuddles them. They sent out a survey for parents asking if we would prefer in-class or remote learning. If we chose remote learning, we wouldn't have the option to go back into class until we were out of orange. The survey wasn't working on Friday but they fixed in on Sunday. Given how bad remote learning was in spring, we've opted for the in-class. If, we choose, we can still pull them. As of now, there have been zero changes in school my kids go to. I'll wait to hear back from my kids tonight if they experienced any changes.
  2. At this point it's entirely up to individual states to handle their Covid business. The Feds are too dumb and too corrupt to do anything. I feel bad for those stuck with Red State Governors. So many will needlessly die. Far more than they are reporting now and into the future.
  3. I would have loved to see GSP vs Khabib both in their primes. I'm not sure how it would go but I think Khabib would take it. GSP remains one of my all-time favorites. Silva, was so good for so long.
  4. Incredible career. Has there been anyone better?
  5. Obviously, I'm biased, folks, but I don't see anyone taking the Grey Cup from us this year. No one can beat us.
  6. God no. True North is already getting plenty of money out of this city and province. I don't want Chipman anywhere near another property. He can own the Jets and Moose and that's enough. Even if he were to sell the franchise and it moved, the AA would give Winnipeg another with a new owner. This has been a very successful market for them.
  7. This city should not be dealing with that criminal. He and his associates fleeced this city. He's a crook. The park is beautiful and will remain beautiful under new management. The American Association is now affiliated with MLB, which will attract another buyer and a new, more balanced deal with the city.
  8. There are zero undecided voters, that's just a fraud. The polls are real, more people would vote for Biden, just like Hillary... But, saying you will vote and actually doing it are two different things. Right now, this is all about who will get out and vote. Will enough Biden supporters go out? Probably. Will Trump try to get only his votes counted? Definitely.
  9. I love Bob but he's been pumping Ambrosie for weeks. Fact is the NHL played during the pandemic is what has been a model for other leagues. The Canadian Premier League planned and played a season (THE CPL!!!!!!). MLS is playing their season. The NBA finished their season. The NFL is playing but is totally screwed because they didn't do a bubble. MLB did a bubble and it worked. The CFL did nothing and has no plan. But, we can still talk about the international players.
  10. He was the best of the lot but he's been really disappointing. His lack of leadership on the opening of Portage and Main was embarrassing. A bunch of NIMBYs who were afraid that opening it would lead to a 15-minute increase in their commute times (despite the review, which indicated less than a minute) won a ridiculous plebiscite. They were idiots and so was he on it. He hasn't really brought forward a new vision and he's consolidated so much power in the EPC, you wonder what council is for? I hope Lukes run. Better not get Klein or Browarty as our next mayor. We'll just go deeper in debt and much further down the "stupid" path, like above, with those yahoos. Yup.
  11. Interesting, seems he's not going to run. I wouldn't be surprised if he's "talked into running" for a Federal seat at some point in the near future.
  12. It was totally expected. He's going to run for the Liberals in the next Federal election, I think.
  13. GOP has been promising something since 2008. Vaporware.
  14. We're witnessing the Pallister gov't copying what the Ontario PCs and UCP are doing. He did the same with Wall's gov't in SK.
  15. What's the current exchange rate on the yen to USD?
  16. We need a facepalm reaction. 🤦‍♂️
  17. Yes, lots of family like Ben Franklin. 😉
  18. He probably has (or had) Covid and is isolating.
  19. Thoughtful evaluation of the Jets current team situation and a minor update on Laine from LeBrun. https://www.tsn.ca/video/winnipeg-s-biggest-moves-may-be-yet-to-come-as-laine-trade-rumours-remain-rampant~2059021 5 minute video from That's Hockey.
  20. I am unusually giddy about this. It better not suck.
  21. Trump is a failure. In fact, from now on, all complete failures will be known as trumps. "Ugh, the Riders are complete trumps this year, like every other year." "You really trumped that up bad."
  22. Less than an hour to touchdown. You can follow via their Twitter account: Or live updates on NASA Live: https://www.nasa.gov/nasalive
