And today Kenney shut down the Leg for at least 2 weeks because of the dramatic increase in cases. Lots of other businesses being forced to operate regardless of COVID... but JK gonna go into hiding. Cripes...

#1 hot mess in all of North America. More than double Ontario and just passed Michigan yesterday.

10 minutes from my house...Alabama Berta indeed...

here's a really good piece from Globe and Mail about what we may be in for, in the coming months: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-how-canada-can-prevent-a-fourth-covid-19-wave/

So I'm not sure about herd immunity, but the prevailing theory on Twitter is that we need to hit 75% 1st dose and 20% 2nd dose in order to relax restrictions and keep the daily case counts down. We're on pace to hit that 75/20 by June 6th. Not sure if that equates to herd immunity, but it'll be enough protection to ease restrictions and start getting back to normal for good...

so a bonkers (yet unsurprising) twist to Pallister's "Teacher's can go get vaccinated in North Dakota" plan:

I've posted this a few times, I think, but it bears repeating: This pandemic has really revealed just how spoiled a certain chunk of our population really is. They have absolutely no ******* clue what oppression really is...

Young Rock is great.... if you've ever had any interest in old school wrasslin', it's worth a watch.

how effective masks and social distancing are at preventing the common cold..... honestly, something I hope stays a part of our culture long term.

....all indoor sports cancelled as of today. One of the only new measures introduced this afternoon by the premier. Also Gr 7-12 going online in the bigger cities. But that's about it. Shame, as that won't do a damn thing in AB.... had a new record 2,048 new cases today, bringing the total active to 21,385. 632 in hospital and 151 in ICU. CMOH outlined triage protocols during presser today. Living in a nightmare, I tell ya....

Kenney, that ******* *******, is just letting as many people die as possible in order to keep businesses happy..... so glad I've got my first shot already. This province is increasingly one of the worst places in the western world to live....... literally and metaphorically making me sick.

anything with a union........ same in AB. Con's hate unions....

the key to beating the Oilers is to get an early lead. Tippett still plays that old "get a lead and lock it down" style, so if they score first, they'll start trapping hard. It's not a guaranteed win if you score first, but it'll go a long way....

Booch, who is pretty connected, has said that Kongbo is likely to be back with the Bombers....

Koskinen starts for Oilers... Jets have a chance tonight for sure. That guy is awful.

Ugh... The bane of my existence. Winter was even worse. I know there's a spray you can get but I don't know how well it actually works. I'm forever cleaning my glasses on my shirt...

do we know who Edmonton is starting in net? I thought I read Koskinen is getting the start...in which case, this should be a close game and maybe even a Jets win. I'll say 4-3 Jets if Koskinen is in....... 3-1 Oilers if Mike Smith is in.

I'm so ******* pumped just to have some CFL **** to talk about. I'm gonna wear a jersey all day and go into full CFL mode on Tuesday!! Let's go Blue!!

I unfortunately have to wear glasses all the time, so I've got that going for me. My wife, who works in the public, has a job-mandated double-mask mandate and wears a protective face shield on top of that...

When I'm inside a public place (the rare occasion I go into a store) I wear a disposable as a base layer, and then a cloth one with a filter over top that.....I feel much more protected for the limited time I'm in the vicinity of plague-ravaged (I assume) people....

Gonna see more and more and more of that.... they aren't vaccinated yet, and these variants (which are the majority across Canada) don't mess around. Doesn't matter if you're healthy or not....if it gets a hold of you, you could die. Absolutely do not **** around with this thing......get vaccinated, maintain social distancing at all times, and wear a damn mask (I find myself double masking indoors now) until further notice.....

Unless there's someone really dynamite available to us early, I have a feeling we take a lot of futures picks this year, just because there would be too many new rookies (including last year's draft class) to evaluate in a shortened training camp this year. Now, certainly, you shouldn't bypass a great talent just because of that, but I could see them taking futures vs something middling....

it's been so long since we've had Bombers football that I've forgotten how bipolar this site can be sometimes...ha ha.

WINNIPEG NELSON LOKOMBO DB | SASKATCHEWAN The Bombers steal the Saskatchewan Huskies product after the Riders focus on pass protection and scoop up the 2019 U SPORTS Defensive Player Of The Year. Nelson’s natural CFL fit – despite being slightly undersized – is at free safety. While Winnipeg is predominantly American on the back end, he can earn his reps on special teams alongside the Hallett brothers as Nick and Noah stand alone waving the maple leaf in the Bombers’ secondary.
