  1. This is the white supremacist bs we saw in Alberta last week. It's always the right doing the nazi Gestapo s***.
  2. I suppose I can't support fascists. It's a line I've drawn. And if the fascists are coming here, and I know they are, I'll be standing with those that oppose it. If trlhe media wants to call them antifa or anti-fascists, I'm down. I also believe at black lives matter. I know it's hard for some to see past their white privilege but if the police are going to be the terrorists, I'll have to oppose them too. Too many lives lost to protect the white supremacists in the ranks.
  3. Because it spreads here. Look at the alt-right nutters that were on MBB. Look at the alt-right nutters in Alberta, while the Premier *wink*wink* says both sides bad. Look at Rebel media, the Sun, National Post, Globe, all owned by alt-right and being pushed by the Cons federally and provincially. We're at the start of this fascist movement, not the end.
  4. I agree and I think that they would be crazy to trade him. I wouldn't touch him or Sheif. Selanne all over again. If they were going to, they could get a prospect and D man (plus a lot else, I would hope). Since the team is ready to win now, top forwards, top goalie, but lacking depth at the back, a D man could help them win next year. This assumes that they can't sign any D man of value next month. And, our window to win the Stanley Cup did close last year when we lost three starting D Men on the right side. It can be quickly re-opened again with another quality D man or two or three.
  5. He's so little and pathetic. The polls were accurate, they just didn't break down by swing states. Hilary had millions more votes.
  6. You know that they're lying about the case numbers. Red states have been doing this since the beginning. You're not allowed to release any info.
  7. I'm an Executive Member, so I get 2% back. Not sure if the extra game is worth it but I like the Costco return policy. I was planning to get Spider-Man anyhow, so I will probably go with this one.
  8. I'm optimistic, with all of the vaccines in their last trials, that we'll be back at major sporting events next summer. Let's hope the CFL survives and I think they will.
  9. Costco has their pre-order up now. Includes an extra controller, Spider-Man, and another, pre-loaded, game for $809. It's not a deal, per se, but you get the extra game free and saves having to look for another controller.
  10. I hope Tucker loses on appeal. He's a horrible person.

    Not paywalled. Thank-you! This makes me so mad. The Right is killing people and lying about it. Poor, vulnerable people can't get health care and are made to work for tiny wages while the Right, the GOP, laughs and pockets cash. Disgusti It's clear that this infections and the deaths have been so underreported.
  12. Thanks @Noellerfor posting this! I've had it in my mind to start a new thread about what the CFL needs to do to improve the league from the fan experience, to the on-field product, to the bottom line but have not really had the time to put together a thoughtful opening post with statistics and other support. If I have some time this weekend, I may do that.
  13. I agree. I can hope he "fixes" the mess he's made by offering a few extra episodes. I'm such a big fan of Ken Burns' documentaries, which is why I'm a bit gutted on how the last two episodes unfolded. The genre is so massive that you can't cover everything. But, we still have the music.
  14. Wow, what a disappointing end. Barely a mention of Alan Jackson, Shania Twain, etc. Why couldn't they just cut it off at the resurgence of country music in the 80s, leaving the next generation untouched? Now, I'm a big Alan Jackson fan, so I'm totally biased, but he's had a heck of a career, including as a Blue Grass musician. And only a picture of the Kentucky Headhunters? Tsk, tsk. Rodney Crowell got very little attention, despite having his commentary throughout. I will go back and watch the first four episodes again next month when my library credits renew.
  15. I look forward to the safe-for-tv version of WAP.

    Actually, Roussin just confirmed it. So it is, in fact, 19 now.

    They're still investigating the 19th death.
  18. A regular reminder of how ridiculous this league treats its fans.
  19. If he appeared in public more often, he would be booed more often. But, he hides in the White House or at his properties or at his Klan rallies.
  20. Young voters tend to favour Democrats but, unfortunately, they don't tend to vote in high numbers.
  21. I'm digging this up... I started watching this last fall, when it came out on Kanopy but, apparently, it was there in error as the Libraries had not paid for it. Anyhow, I got into the fourth episode and it cut off. They've finally brought it back and I will finish the eighth and final episode tonight. I can't believe what a short shrift Strait got. He was barely mentioned, despite squeezing in that he's managed to have 60 number one hits. I can't believe it. There was an extremely important window that they rushed through. Also, there isn't much time left, less than an hour, and they've just "discovered" Garth Brooks at the Bluebird. IMO, they should have had an episode that dealt strictly with the 80s decline and rebirth and then a separate that dealt with Brooks, Gill, etc, etc. They have to cut it off at some point but they could have added four hours, easily. It feels rushed and cut off. Alternatively, they could have kept it at 16 hours and stopped after the mid-80s, then revisit and finish it properly in a few years.
