I'm just explaining what is going on so keep your damned shorts on. The polling you refer to is Ipsos Reid that was commissioned by Unifor which supports the NDP. Then there was the Main Street poll that said almost the same. So, they have no credibility. This is the same pollster who said Bill Smith had a huge lead over Nenshi in the civic mayoral election here in Calgary & Smith got pummelled. The poll result caused a bit of a stir for a day & was then forgotten. If there was a true seismic shift to the NDP it would be all over the media in here in AB & the NDP would be using it to their advantage. Instead crickets from the NDP. The new poll came out yesterday & showed that the NDP was at 52% in Calgary & rural AB. People kind of nodded & said yes, that sounds about right.

Kenney's got the election. Most voters care the most about the economy, jobs, building the pipeline & standing up to Trudeau. They look at this Callaway thing with little interest as it's an internal UCP thing. The NDP is trying to make a big deal about the UCP candidates & some of their comments made but it is getting little or no traction with voters. Two UCP candidates have resigned but the party is currently sitting at 52% in Calgary & the rural areas outside of both major cities. Which must frustrate the NDP to no end. No matter how much mud they sling nothing is sticking so far. Notley is more popular than Kenney but her party is hated & she has little if no talent surrounding herself in cabinet. The UCP is more popular than Kenney but he is looked upon as a stronger leader who will stand up to left wing activists, Trudeau & Horgan. Banning BC wine just doesn't cut it.

I wonder how long his wife Rene will be with the WWE? Different wrestling association means they'll never see one another. Would she leave to follow her husband? Bet the AEW would love to have her.

Karma is a ***** for Desjardins. Ha, ha. Love it.

I'm sure no one believes it.

You could hear that from the stands? It may have been his shoulder pads or brace he wore..

Too bad for WWE fans but the way he was used made little sense.

I guess Ambrose is gone as I never saw him on Raw. Not even in any storylines, now.

I always thought Dunigan had a broken collarbone which I think is a helluva lot worse than a separated shoulder. Not that the first injury is a picnic, either.

Can you name me one player from that league?

How could anyone hate John Candy? It was impossible.

Jim Barker with some interesting views on the AAF & what it was like today with some CFL teams & their neg lists... https://omny.fm/shows/sportstalk/7-05-pm-jim-barker-of-hamilton-tiger-cats-talks-ab

Like that colony was ever going to fly? Pardon the pun.

Their defenses weren't that good.

Hopefully no qbs. They were dreadful.

If there was a high road & an easy road then Johnny will take the easy one every time. He won't put in the work. He has little or no work ethic. Now the AAF might fold tomorrow. Only one league left & it's a year away.

No, they just lie.

He shouldn't have treated your son like that. Too bad.

Yeah, they were practically given a championship because of the rules of the Expansion Draft. Then Desjardins mocked the Bombers. We can mock them because we are Bomber fans but if another fanbase or douchey GM does then that's fighting words. I feel exactly the way you do.

I think so. Coaching in this country at the high levels is such a small community. From the reaction of Rick Campbell who says he was duped by Elizondo, he may have hurt his future chances at employment in the CFL. Campbell has friends. I'd say he's probably headed back to U Sports.

I stayed on the trail. My wife wasn't letting me near the edge. Not that I wanted to, anyway.

Why the need to be resource producing when Trudeau can tax Canadians to death. Literally & figuratively.

If they can't get government support or afford to build a proper stadium then why bother? I think what's happened now is Randy Ambrosie is in this so deep & has taken the CFL along with him that to back off now would be a major black eye to both him & the CFL. So, they'll just forge ahead & damn the torpedos. They'll handle a financial crisis when it occurs so no sense worrying about it now. I just can't see this team competing for free agents or for them to ever sell out consistently. We'll be seeing crowds of 16,000 at their home games & the team will be another burden to the other 8 teams. I didn't include Toronto as they're already a burden to everyone else. Ambrosie is talking about a LDW Coast Bowl with the Lions. They must be thrilled knowing they'll be forced to fly 2/3 of the way to London over 5 time zones to play that game against an opponent who'll never be a serious rival.

In the meantime, a pretty decent discussion.
