  1. I don’t quite agree about the Esks D. Their offence had a lead at halftime mostly due to turnovers. Then they proceeded to not score any points at all during the second half. Their O showed up for one turnover aided quarter.
  2. Seems you can make crucial mistakes and still beat the Esks.
  3. Based on your logic, the O is easy to defend and can expect very little success going forward.
  4. Crappy punt, fumble and a Hail Mary - new game in 5 minutes.
  5. The front 4 has to get pressure on BLM. If that doesn’t happen, based on the games this year, the entire team is doomed.
  6. Really, there’s nothing more to it than that.
  7. One thing we do have, is a couple of guys in the middle who can do that...
  8. Exactly the same thing with all municipal politics.
  9. Dairy farms don't usually have bulls - so the scent of BS is definitely coming from MB.
  10. Banning doesn't stop trolls - they just make a new account and keep right on trolling - with a slightly different style.
  11. How much longer can this be acceptable? As soon as they don’t get pressure, the D is toast.
  12. It’s usually 24 - 36 hours after the game.
  13. I could see it getting to a point where everyone refuses to get behind centre. A brutal OL and the game plan is not helping them out at all.
  14. Don’t think too hard about it - it’s mostly stupidity.
  15. It’s hard to believe that he and other world leaders didn’t have at least an inkling.
  16. I am not in favour of taking down any statues at all. Macdonald's treatment of First Nations is well documented and has been widely discussed. I'm beyond annoyed when people still try to claim there are those who don't know, and removing the statue will be a small step towards education and reconciliation. However, somehow, Wilfred Laurier is rarely if ever brought up. Is it because he's Liberal? I don't know. But I do know that his immigration policies were very racist and discussed openly in parliament. Also, he did nothing to change anything that JAM put into place. Example: JAM legislated a $50 Chinese Head Tax; Laurier raised it to $100, then $500. Then there's Mackenzie King. He banned Chinese immigration altogether, on July 1, 1923. During the Dirty Thirties, he said he wouldn't give a red cent to anyone who didn't vote Liberal. Then there is the treatment of Japanese Canadians during WWII.
  17. I assume you search within the YouTube site?
  18. I'm sure you've all heard that John A. Macdonald's statue was removed in Victoria - due to his treatment of our Aboriginal people. However, I will only take that gesture seriously if someone follows suit with a Laurier statue. I'm not holding my breath...
