That would be a 14 hour drive for me... 😉

Allen won 3 Grey Cups with 3 different teams. He threw for over 72,000 yards, was the GC MVP in all 3 wins plus he won the CFL's MOP Award in 2005. How does an overrated qb do that?

You realize you have to be pretty old to get that joke. The Millennials here are going, "WTF is he talking about?" Lol.

So, I don't know how governments expect people to wear masks on planes, at the airport, transit buses or trains. Or where people have a tendency to have problems social distancing. When hoarding is going on. We've all seen people wearing masks & I thought okay I'll buy some & start wearing it in public but sure, right... None to be had in Calgary at the places I called.

Try finding a mask anywhere. Everyone is sold out & can't say when the next shipment will arrive.

Without having to search for it, what did you say?

Amazing that we're here debating democracy vs an autocracy.

Liberals didn't win the last election. They just got more seats in a minority government which means Trudeau doesn't have the political right or moral authority to decree a ban on guns unilaterally. Debate it in the H of C in the form of a Bill & pass it using the same democratic tools always used. That would be to pass First, Second & Third readings in the House by convincing the other parties to support the bill as we are in a minority. Then send it to the Senate for approval & finally Royal Assent by the Governor General. Otherwise, what's the point? I'm not debating the merits of the ban. Just how it was done It's wrong.

Since Sweden was mentioned today, sadly it looks like the chickens have come home to roost. Click on the link below: https://nypost.com/2020/04/28/sweden-records-deadliest-week-of-century-after-resisting-lockdowns/?fbclid=IwAR3a_sHOq5fk8r5V8id0n3R9Bl5NaY1exHpDXR8U2P1N5BvGjqWIMO8D_Io

I think it's pretty clear what he wants to do.

Bad guys will always have guns. Good people? Defenseless. Hunters & farmers are the bane of Canada.

He wants to ban all guns so the definition doesn't matter.

I don't trust Trudeau as far as I can throw a 45 kg rock.

When democratic governments start taking shortcuts like this without any debate then we're in big trouble. What if Trudeau decrees that all vaccines are mandatory? Or that general elections are suspended because of the virus? Once the Genie is out of the bottle it is a dangerous precedent. Allow debate in the HOC. What does it do? Slow the process by a few days or a week??

When trying to become great again really means you are truly stupid. #greatpeople

Gawd, not Sweden again. That is so April 2020 here.

I have no problems banning assault weapons. The problem I have was this was done like a royal decree with no debate in the House Of Commons. It was just done unilaterally by the Liberals. They are a minority government but are using the Corona virus to rule like a majority. Yes, the banning is no doubt popular by urban voters but it should have been introduced as government bill, debated upon, passed through 3rd reading & then gone to the Senate for Royal Assent. What happens next if Trudeau announces something that will affect our freedoms unilaterally? Like I said, no problem with the banning but do it democratically in the HOC. He is not a king even though he thinks he is.

How long might it take for researchers find a vaccine for Covid 19? How does 15 years sound to you? It took 28 years to find a vaccine for smallpox. And we've never found a vaccine in the past for any Covid virus. Or we may get lucky & find one in 18 months. Scientists are skeptical. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/30/opinion/coronavirus-covid-vaccine.html?utm_source=pocket-newtab

For sure. I'll physical distance. I had a repair guy in my house on Friday as our dishwasher was on the fritz & I wanted to avoid him as much as I could. I didn't want a stranger in my house but what can I do? Live in fear & do without kitchen appliances scared to call someone when they break one by one? That's just being paranoid. It needed to be fixed so I got it fixed. I felt he got a little too close when I had to pay him by credit card as he suddenly walked over & was about a foot away from me which I didn't like. I disinfected the sink & counter top where the dishwasher is where he worked after he left. Other than making trips to the store or go for a walk, I don't go out at all but like I said if I have to go out then I'll go out & respect physical distancing. I don't consider myself reckless & I respect others space. As a responsible person that is about all I can do. Thing is, no matter what we do. No matter the precautions, it still won't be enough as we can't see the virus. I don't want to get Covid but that's why I think it's inevitable that I'll get it somewhere from someone.

Damn!

This pandemic won't end until about 70% of us have been infected. Expert microbiologists & epidemiologists say that the pandemic could last up to 2 more years with waves rolling through periodically like the Spanish Flu from 1918-19. If you don't live your life & become paralyzed by fear then what kind of life is it? Afraid to leave your house. Afraid to go to the store. Afraid to go for a walk. Afraid of other people. Chances are you'll contract it at some point. We have no idea when a vaccine will be available. that being said, I won't go out of my way to be out in public very much & act like its normal. I'll be staying indoors mostly like I'm doing now but if I need a haircut then I'll get one. If I have to shop then I'll shop. If I need or want something I'll get it. Damned if I'll let fear run my life. Now, the most important thing to me is a safe work environment when we do go back to work. Getting infected from one of my students is my biggest concern. I fully expect that just about all of us will get the virus at some point.

Useless career politician. From a Liberal to Mayor of Winnjpeg to the NDP to the Greens.

He had the talent but not the smarts or work ethic to succeed. No surprise he flamed out.

I disagree as these players were supposedly the best players in their team's area. CFL teams would arrange scholarships for them to play somewhere coming out of high school or junior ball. Then stay in touch with them during their university careers & if they were really good make them territorial exemptions. The guys now are second & third round calibre players not first rounders like Jones & Mikawos were. Now, we know that second & third rounders can go on to become great players but on Draft Day they aren't considered the best like the territorial exemptions back then were.
