No, but let's go back to United States for a minute. They have almost a quarter of the deaths on the globe. That is a shoddy record for a western democracy, no matter how many states are flattening the curve. I think a country has to own all of their data.

I can tell you for sure that two of the cases have nothing to do with Grand Beach, including the one in the Interlake.

You could make the same argument about Quebec in Canada - so what?

This seems like it should be easy to find - but does anyone know of a site that lists world deaths by year?

I really can’t stand your positive attitude. 😀

Richard ‘78%’ Karikari And that OL who supposedly ate everything on the buffet table - and then left.

No doubt. The Als’ string of first places finishes but poor playoff performances can not be denied.

Least favourite non-Bomber
He was underrated by Eskie fans who didn’t know any better. And by Argo fans who thought the new kid in town (Collaros) had more potential.

Yes, it was called grapes, it was an ok place.

Gotta disagree just a bit. Flutie & Moon absolutely - they were in a class by themselves. But Ray and Calvillo were similar in both style of play and effectiveness. Lots of dink & dunk with the odd medium or long pass mixed in.

Least favourite non-Bomber
Montreal: Ed Philion (reasons as stated above) Toronto: Kevin Eiben Hamilton: Simoni Lawrence (our GC champs exposed him quite nicely) Saskatchewan: Nate Davis (worst incident ever) Edmonton: Jason Maas Calgary: BLM (arrogance, do not like his actions or vibes as a teammate) BC: Mike Reilly (overrated)

Favourites: Milt Stegall; Andrew Harris Classy professionals who gave their all to this organization. The flip side: any of the awful DBs we employed - for seemingly endless stretches of time. Ditto to the OLs that wrecked Khari Jones and Drew Willy.

Covid-19
I was talking to someone the other day who believed the whole thing was a hoax. He said he knew someone who died of cancer but the hospital put ‘corona virus’ on the death certificate - said it was a lady from Manitoba. It took me less than a minute to determine that she could not possibly be one of the 7 Manitoba deaths (based on the date of death & her age didn’t match either). So yeah, if people can believe crap like that, they sure won’t be concerned about social distancing.

For other issues, that's true.

The whole thing is still nothing but a hoax and an overreach to many. And I include Canadians in that statement.

That’s not unique to the CFL. Any of those other issues, they just have some things to work on, but to be in any way homophobic is a death sentence.

That's a broad brush stroke - it's very possible to be religious and believe fully in science and medicine as well.

The Liberals have the next election in the bag, if that's the best he can come up with.

Black Lives Matter
No, it's a completely fair comparison. Germany has an enormous population relative to their land mass. They have high numbers of immigrants and refugees - they are a cultural melting pot. The U.S. has the affluence to be more successful, but too much money is flowing to the top.

1. We all understand your frustration. 2. There really wasn’t any way for government or law enforcement to effectively and peacefully stop the protests. 3. There was really no way for Dr. Roussin to say the protests were a bad idea and shouldn’t have happened. Perception is 9/10s of reality, and some would have perceived such comments as racist.
