Politicians worry more about being elected & pandering to their base instead of doing the right thing & shutting things down completely.

Double post so I just picked one to delete.

For me, I want to get that second shot. Hopefully, this means the second shot is comong sooner.

The AB govt threw vaccinations wide open today. All Albertans age 12 & up today can book vaccine appointments & 112,000 people made appointments. Just today.

Maybe the need is there for Grade 13 in provincial high schools across Canada for students to catch up. As a kid who struggled with math & the sciences I could have used another year. Having math deficiencies certainly shapes educational decisions you make as well as having career implications the rest of your life.

Afford Tortorella? Why the .... would we even want him? Have you not been following the NHL the past decade???

The NFL wouldn't be the juggernaut it is now without the vision of Ed & Steve Sabol who founded NFL Films. They did unique storytelling about the NFL & it's players. Now there is an historical library of the greats on film & video in their library going back to the early 60's. One of the most famous was Football Follies & "Hey Mom". They credit those videos with really launcing the popularity of NFL Films. So, in honour of Mothers Day today. For all our Moms out there.... https://youtu.be/CP1ZtcH5RQM

Yeah, love that idea. I don't think Jpan said that.

Wow, sign a player from Germany & surely the Deutchmarks will come... "Papa. wollen Fang spielin???"

No, even though it may seem that way, I just think the CFL has to look at the way they do business in everything they do. It shouldn't just be all about cutting personnel, players & team expenses. Everything they do needs to be examined financially for new opportunities as well as the way to do things better &/or more profitably. Their business model is broke. Nothing they do should be a sacred cow, so to speak. If they can't look at other ways to make money then they have to seriously look at an infusion of money from outside investors like Redbird Capital & the XFL to stay alive.

Nothing has been announced in Alberta.

But not an ad as soon as the game is over to get your team championship merch like RIGHT NOW when it's hot!!! The stuff the players are wearing on tv in the locker room.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing the CFL does not do so it misses out on revenue. What do we see the minute a Super Bowl champ is crowned? The NFL selling tee shirts & caps with the name of the Super Bowl champs on them. We don't do any of that. I can't believe just how cheap the CFL is or just short sighted. I hate to say this as I'm 60 plus but it doesn't help having a 55-60 year old insurance salesman in Ambrosie running the league instead of someone like a sharp Mark Cohon who knows how to promote, market & advertise. Letting him get away was a huge mistake but not really a surprise.

Just like single game betting. How much revenue will that bring in for the CFL?

We just don't know when the second shot is coming.

Like Alberta who never closed K-6 schools until today, Kenney knows his base wouldn't be happy as school is only convenient babysitting for a lot of parents. So, elementary schools were the last to be closed. Palliser is afraid of a revolt if schools close.

I remember being all over that pick as I just hated it. We might as well have slept thru our second pick that first round & missed it for all the good his selection did us.

I jst shake my head when the anti maskers & anti vaxxers say they are doing it for our freedoms. No, they're not. They don't speak for me. Selfish pricks. Since you & I can't buy a Covid vaccine then just how is it up to us to keep ourselves safe? Your analogy is all well & good but it's impossible to achieve.

My worry is the study showed that the first Covid shot by Pfizer is 0% effective against one of the variant & 17% against another. It seems the second shot gives us maximum protection. We hjave no idea when we'll get that second shot. The US is the worst for hoarding. I read they're sitting on up to 300 million doses.

Vaccine rollout falls on him. I know we've had manufacturing delays so it's not all his fault but procurement sure does.

Trudeau has no global influence. I don't even have a clue how you can come up with a premise like that. The rollout in CANADA has been so slow that we have stretched out our second shot even further than other countries. Most are going 12 weeks. We're the only developed country in the world going 16 weeks. This is some kind of scary... The first time I've actually been worried.

I don't agree with that. They lost the Western Conference Finals to Vegas. I would hope that we could make the Stanley Cup Finals once every 30 years if that is indeed a goal. Surely after 30 years we'd have a higher bar to raise than that. Losing the Conference championship can't be the ultimate result of 30 years of trying. The top of the mountain. If we had that same defense from 2018 in front of Hellebuyck now with the firepower we have on this team we'd be challenging for the Cup as legit contenders. Not just hoping to just win a single round to save the season. Our back end is the problem along with Paul Maurice.
