The CFLPA sent out an internal memo late Monday evening updating its membership regarding the union’s decision to vote against the tentative collective bargaining agreement that was struck last week. The memo was obtained in full by 3DownNation. Gentlemen, There is currently not enough support from the CFLPA membership to ratify the most recent offer from the CFL. The CFLPA has communicated with the league that a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) can be achieved if the league is prepared to resolve the outstanding issues quickly. In reviewing and discussing the offer, all CFLPA members maintained to the bargaining committee that, while many components of the current offer align with the direction that’s been provided by the membership, there remain critical outstanding items that must still be resolved in order to achieve a fair deal. The entire CFLPA membership has indicated a strong desire to come to a fair agreement as soon as possible so that players can work and fans and partners can get back to celebrating the game. With that, the CFLPA bargaining committee has already informed the CFL which items within the package still need further negotiation in order to satisfy the membership and keep discussions moving forward as efficiently as possible. The CFLPA bargaining committee remains committed to doing everything it can to find a fair resolution on behalf of its membership and come to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the CFL on a new and fair collective agreement (CBA) as quickly as possible. If you have any further questions, please speak directly to your player reps who have just been briefed in detail. In solidarity, Your CFLPA

Siiiiiiiigh.... The league really doesn't need this bullshit right now. Christ sakes....

Looks like Maston is ****** again. In Walters We Trust to find another SAM backer....

A Trotz/Bowness combo would give me a Jets fan half rager.... Wheeeeoooooo.... Here's hoping!

You just never know which Smith you're gonna get. He can be an all star or look every bit like the 40+ year old he is...

I'm born there, raised there and, God willing, I'll die there... We look at a lot of retirement properties in various MB/NW Ont areas, but at the end of the day, we'll likely end up back in Pinawa when it's all said and done.

2 is my favourite MI.... And 3 is underrated. But yes, they have become really great movies as they've gone along...

Yeah I feel when people talk about Edmonton being scenic, they're talking about Jasper, to the west, which is really nice. Edmonton itself is really just like Winnipeg.

That's all this is, for sure....

That seems like a less than credible source.....

It's insane that Oilers fans got both Gretzky and McJesus in their lifetime...

I'm about 5 years from paying off my house, and as soon as that's done, Heather and I are buying a property in MB as a retirement property, and we'll pay for it while we're still working and then hopefully be debt free with two properties when we retire and be in good shape. It's all I think about every moment of every day.

The only thing I want in life is to be able to drop my boat in the water every night after supper in the summer. To be within an hour of the greatest walleye fishing on earth 12 months of the year. To be around Jets fans and Bombers fans all the time. To be able to drive into the Canadian Shield any time I want. Some of the best breweries and taprooms in western Canada. (okay AB is pretty good for that too). Sorry for getting on a tangent, but I am insanely passionate about Manitoba (Winnipeg as a byproduct, even though I'm rural MB to the core) and anytime I see/hear people shitting on the province, I get really riled up. My wife, who is born and raised in Calgary, her whole family is from Manitoba. Mom born and raised in Brandon, dad a farmer from Sandy Lake. Her mom is in a care home with MS and she's the only child so we're the caregivers. We sincerely hope she lives forever, obviously, but being realistic, we regularly plan for our future once we're no longer caregivers. And that future is Manitoba.... Eventually.

I could write a thesis on Edmonton vs Winnipeg. I love Edmonton.... Because it is so much like Winnipeg. It's Winnipeg if Winnipeg had oil money. I ******* LOVE Winnipeg and think it's the most underrated city in Canada. The second my life changes to the point where my wife and I are able to leave AB, I'm on my way...

How do you know they're not trying?

Not sure if anyone's been following the goings on at Lks TC, but Chris Jones calling Commonwealth a dump and they can't get the scoreboard to work properly or play music on the in house speakers. It sounds like the newly reformed marriage in Edmonton is off to a rocky start....
