As a lifelong CFL fan, we already know that the season doesn't really start until Labour Day anyhow. 

Lol.  I mean really that’s all one can say. Lol. 

Obscure? It's right there in front of your nose on Globals website.
1-999? Holy hyperbole! There are many experts saying exactly what Mr. Kettner is saying and some of them are saying it much more strongly. It appears people like you choose to ignore them. Why is that? Doesn't feed into the hype machine? Not good click-bait? 
Since these brilliant people have dedicated their lives to the public good and have risen to the top of their fields and are doctors and academics and not politicians, at least give me some good arguments that disprove what they're saying. Maybe then you can convince me to dismiss them too.

That's amazing!
Let me share with you what it was like in the plant in the last few weeks before they decided to send all non-essential staff home.
As you may know, there are radiological zones in the plant ranging from low risk of spreading radiation to high risk. The zones are clearly delineated and you must pass through various types of radiation detection monitors to move from one zone to another. Normally you are free to go about your business provided you monitor properly between zones. There is zero tolerance, understandably, for not monitoring. Can't be spreading radiation around. In the last few weeks, they had people stationed at these zonal boundaries ensuring that we not only monitored but used the hand sanitizing stations that had been added and everything we touched was immediately sprayed and wiped down with disinfectant.
We also had to practice social distancing at all times. It's a strange thing shouting at each other, maintaining distance from each other. It's a strange thing having your movements monitored at all times by security personnel, guys in full riot gear with helmets and automatic weapons eyeballing your every movement. You must show and present to security your identification badges. You must use hand geometry to gain access to certain areas of the plant and it's a strange thing to have someone come behind you and spray down everything you touched with Lysol. 
Not only could we not spread a radioactive particle. Now we couldn't spread a germ. I saw guys escorted from site because they had developed a cough or a runny nose. Rather than deal with it any longer they just shut the whole thing down and allowed only essential staff. 
It's a huge facility housing 8 nuclear reactors. The place is used to thousands of people coming and going every day. It is now a virtual ghost town. It is absolutely eerie.
Strange times. 

Not gonna happen.

Not gonna happen.

Some of you guys really need to chill. Look at how you're acting. Effin sad.

I think it's the proper time?
Just to keep it interesting let's call it a Second Favourite Blue Bombers Memory and not include the 2019 Grey Cup victory.
But, just in case you needed a reminder, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers won the 2019 Grey Cup. 😎

"The Covid-19 epidemic is something like sepsis: the reaction by the media and government is likely to produce more harm to societies around the globe than the virus, possibly for many years to come." Now before the haters descend like flies, here's the link to the full article from an expert that also sees the harm in over reacting to this thing.   https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/16/coronavirus-serious-threat-prepare-not-overreact/
Here's some more "enlightening" reading for those of you, if there are any, that are not afraid to consider the other side of all this hype and it's repercussions.
"While COVID-19 (alias nCoV-2019) constitutes a multi-billion corporate bonanza for Big Pharma, it has also contributed to precipitating humanity into a dangerous and unfolding global process of economic, social and geopolitical destabilization."  https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-19-coronavirus-a-fake-pandemic-whos-behind-it-global-economic-and-geopolitical-destabilization/5705063

It goes both ways blue_gold_84. I'm in conversations outside of this circle of my Blue Bomber Brethren where the concensus is the opposite and they see this as a full-blown hype-job. I know you know this but it bears repeating -- not everyone willingly swallows everything that the media pushes onto our plates. The WHO is far from a pristine innocent organisation free of the political trapping of any big organisation and the influences they are subject to. 
Please don't confuse not buying into the hype with a cavalier attitude towards this thing. Is it serious? Of course. Do we need to take measures to stop it's spread. Yes. Is it a killer? Yes. And you can say the same for the flu which (currently) has a lot higher death count. 

And he doesn't back down from BC Lions ex-quarterbacks, either.

Rider's draft pick and U of M alum Onyemata re-signs with the saints. 3 years, 27 million.

Good for him and glad to know he'll never wear a Rider's jersey. 

Thanks.
Here's the Merriam Webster definition of a Pandemic ...
pan·dem·ic | \ pan-ˈde-mik  \
Definition of pandemic
 (Entry 1 of 2)
: occurring over a wide geographic area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population
//pandemic malaria
//The 1918 flu was pandemic and claimed millions of lives.
and the Oxford ...
pandemic noun
 /pænˈdemɪk/
 /pænˈdemɪk/
a disease that spreads over a whole country or the whole world
Now let's see, how big is the spread, let's look at the U.S.
COVID-19
U.S. 
Population: 327,000,000
Total cases: 15,219
Total deaths: 201
So less than .05% of the population. Does that sound like "an exceptionally high proportion of the population", or "millions of lives"? And these are today's stats, not even the stats which were smaller when the WHO first made it's "pandemic" proclamation. You might also be interested to know that "In the U.S. alone, the flu has caused an estimated 36 million illnesses, 370,000 hospitalizations and 22,000 deaths this season", according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), but there's no flu pandemic.
What's happening in China ... "China has reported no new locally transmitted coronavirus cases for the first time since the pandemic began, marking a major turning point in the global battle to contain Covid-19". That doesn't sound very "pandemic"-like, does it. Does that sound like "an exceptionally high proportion of the population", or "millions of lives"?
How about Italy ... 
Italy
Population: 60,000,000
Total cases: 15,000
Total deaths: 1000
Does that sound like "an exceptionally high proportion of the population", or "millions of lives"?
This is a hype-job of epic proportions.
Give. me. a. break.

Great pic, though!

You guys are missing the point but it's all good. Best wishes. Stay safe! End of topic for me. Let's talk football. 

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE WAY DOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN..........

We're doing it for you. 
We're sending our love down the well!
 

I agree. Why not err on the side of caution? Is that such a bad thing? As someone with health issues that put me at high risk if I contracted it, I beseech you all to please take this seriously.

And most likely this was taken after a real 'hammering' they took by  Bud Grant 's Bombers...He was seeking solace...They just luv us in Ham.

Ooops......misread.

BWAHAHAHA!  #DirtyFourStripers  #IGFWest
I love it!

The Taiter makes mention of the fact that we don't have a first round pick or even a top 15'er because we lost our pick in the ZC deal.  Well worth it I say to win a cup. I don't regret that one bit.
