I was concerned about that missed convert as soon as it happened - because of how poorly the offense was playing There was a really strong sense that this would be a close game Just my 0.02

Yes, but the Americans haven't lifted theirs yet - you still can't cross the border from Canada - if you're unvaxxed I know someone who tried - literally two days ago I guess they better get some trucks down there

They said they were protesting all the mandates. Except for the border restrictions, all mandates were provincial

Well yes, it's a known fact that the older population is more vulnerable when it comes to viruses - that's a big factor I also know unvaccinated people in their 20's who didn't get sick at all - in spite of it being in their household But that doesn't equate to the vaccine not being effective

Invoking the Emergencies Act had more to do with the economic impacts Almost 4 billion dollars in trade was lost and high profile American politicians were phoning our government - that's the real issue

It doesn't matter to me whether or not you agree. I am referring to what we experienced in our community. Unvaccinated people got very, very sick. And yes, it was new vaccine and it waned over time. But it still did a lot of good.

Based on first hand experience, particularly with the delta variant, there was a vast, vast difference between being vaccinated vs. unvaccinated

Perhaps, not enough meaningful games at the end of the season - 2 byes in 4 weeks

Turns out, the government was under pressure from the United States, to end the protests / blockades. That, quite frankly, should be all that needs to be said. In almost any other circumstances, the Conservatives would have been all over this. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/chrystia-freeland-emergencies-act-inquiry-1.6662347 I took the time to listen to his testimony - I agree with your assessment. His 'tongue in cheek' comments about other convoy organizers, are hilarious.

Just in case someone is triggered - seeing that name in a thread title.

I know this is not an easy answer, but it worked for me I have control over how much of my headspace I devote to pro sports. Any impact that it has on me, is within my control I came to this realization after the Oilers' 2006 run to the Stanley Cup finals - I really got into it - Canadian team, Cinderella story all that stuff When it was over, I ended up seriously questioning if it was worth it Since then, the only league that I follow 100% is the CFL. I simply felt that was what I needed to do, and it has worked for me

I just a spent a few minutes listening to the Fox (faux) propaganda machine Their latest spin: Italy has continued to buy Russian oil all along, which they are refining and selling to the United States Of course, no details about how Italy could do that, given they support Ukraine joining the EU Anything to implicate Biden...

Health spending accounts already exist, in both the public and private sector.

Apparently, Tamara Lich had to 'pull him aside' today.

There is that angle...but 1st place teams still win Grey Cups more often.

If they keep him, he'll need to be better at kicking extra points. Maybe Hire an XP whisperer 😅

For the record, I am not pinning the loss on Legghio But he missed 8 converts this season. No other kicker missed more than 3, some missed only 1

Yes, the offense could/should have been better But one issue simply cannot be glossed over The convert is a basic football play. Make the convert after the punt return and this game would have most likely gone to OT It has been a problem most of the season, and it's ironic that it wasn't the difference in a loss...until the championship game

And kicking a convert should be a simple play, for a pro kicker

Congrats Bluto. Enjoy the Stella.

Take it easy, all the best.

All hail...the system!

And he will have a pocket.

It's perfect. I absolutely love it.

I will say this: In their one meeting this year, I remember the Bombers getting through with pressure. MBT threw for over 300 yards, but also served up 2 picks. The stat line shows 3 sacks. The D needs to do more of the same.
