ok, I don't know that one. I did hear about a movie recently called "Unplanned" that Hollywood tried to shut down, but that was a different abortion movie.

what movie was that?

yes this was just awful. However, late-term abortions are a hot-button issue in the US (could be as big as immigration was in 2016), and the Dems have to decide if they want it to be a hill they want to die on. When you have someone like Trump spouting this kind of nonsense, and who doesn't play by any rules, what do you do? How do you combat it? The Republican talking point "Democrats want to kill babies" - Democrats "well, not quite babies". It's a tough one.

and that's what scares me. The Democrats seem to have already conceded the election and are pinning all of their hopes on impeachment instead. I don't think that that is a strategy that is going to win.

I met an American when I was in Costa Rica in January - from New Hampshire. We got talking about politics and he said that he voted for Hillary last time out of sheer terror as he had been convinced that the world was going to fall apart and the economy in the US was going to tank, based on what the media was saying and of course what the Dems were saying. He then said that after two years, none of the things that he had been told would happen had happened, and that he felt lied to, and now felt stupid for falling for the doom and gloom predictions. He said that he was definitely voting Trump in the next election, as he said that he's really happy with how America is being run now. Anecdotal I know, and feel free to dismiss this story, but are there others out there like this guy? I don't know.

where I thought that they dropped the ball was when the dead guys were all standing there waiting for the fire to burn out. D and J could have done a strafing run and broken their backs as they were all bunched up standing in a line. Instead they were screwing around up in the clouds. I was screaming at the TV - GET DOWN THERE JON!!!!

Not being in Winnipeg I get my gossip from people I know in the Peg. Several have come back to me with the same story. If they were doing a sitcom with the Jets as the focus, it would be called "Everyone hates Jacob". Apparently many Jets want to see him gone, and weren't happy that he wasn't moved last year. Take that FWIW. As I said, I won't be sad to see Trouba, Ehlers and Kuli gone for next year. I like Perreault, but I don't see him surviving the cap crunch.

Maybe the dead guys are animal lovers?

I think the same can be said for Jon Snow - "have fun on the ground, I'm going to fly around doing nothing for most of the battle". The very least he could have fried some dead guys.

until the Democrats pick a leader, are polling numbers worth anything? Right now you are asking if you would vote for Trump, or ???. If you are not in the "I will vote for anyone but Trump" camp, then how do you even answer the question right now?

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says today's federal Liberal party wouldn't accept political donations like those that got SNC-Lavalin in trouble in the late 2000s. Trudeau says the party has improved its standards and, in his words, "that is not what happens any more." The Quebec-based engineering firm reached a "compliance agreement" with Canada's elections commissioner in 2016, admitting that executives who'd left the company by then had convinced employees to give money to both the Liberal and Conservative parties. The agreement was public at the time but a CBC report today reveals the names of the SNC-Lavalin employees the elections commissioner believed were involved. Reimbursing the donors with company bonuses was a way around an election law that forbids corporations to make political donations. The Liberals got nearly $118,000 under the scheme, compared with the Tories' $8,000. SNC-Lavalin CEO Neil Bruce said in 2016 that the agreement with the elections commissioner was evidence that the company had turned over a new leaf. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/liberals-wouldnt-take-hidden-snc-lavalin-money-now-trudeau-says/ar-AAAKd4Q?ocid=spartanntp

and within minutes, CNN (LOL) predictably weighs in with their own slanted rebuttal... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/newspolitics/the-idea-that-donald-trump-will-win-easily-in-2020-is-ridiculous/ar-AAAK6ZE?ocid=spartanntp

yup, it is.

we need a billionaire buying the Lions as well. That franchise needs a lot of help.

Yes, Montreal needs to host a Grey Cup. Great party city. Is the Big O really that dilapidated that they can't use it anymore?

no I agree with you, he's an idiot, but not a white nationalist.

yeah I know, it was tongue in cheek.

It's so bad, that our own PM can't tell a Japanese leader from a Chinese leader. Yikes, talk about embarrassing! Just wait until the Malaysian leader calls Justin the PM of Great Britain.

let me know if they do...I've lost all interest in the NHL playoffs this year. It's been a long time since I've said that. What a difference a year makes.
