there was so little patience shown by Jets fans, it's almost unbelievable....and that's just around here! Never mind HFB, which is basically a lunatic asylum at times...

in fairness, both those countries are relatively small islands.... it's easier to prevent spread/eliminate the virus....... which is not to take away from the progressive nature of both countries, which did a remarkable job.

the man is a total lunatic.... he says they fought the carbon pricing because Albertans are opposed to it and wanted him to fight against it. Well, you dummy, Albertans are opposed to it because you constantly tell them that it's a bad thing. If we had leadership that explained why carbon pricing is actually GOOD, then maybe they'd get on board....ffs.

Calgary also has a facility built that is being fitted to manufacture vaccines. Should be up and running later this year.

Stanley is developing into exactly what I'd hoped. Honestly, half the fun for me was the Jets "fans" crying about what a wasted pick he was and that he couldn't skate and would never develop. I cheered for him based on that alone, and figured he could at least be Hal Gill, if not exactly Chris Pronger. I think he'll end up somewhere in between, which is just fine with me. Love that kid.

helle's been outstanding this year, but doesn't necessarily have ALL the stats that eastern media will look at when voting for Vezina. No question in my mind though that he's been one of the best, if not THE best, goalie(s) in the league...

I personally think it was a massive waste of provincial money to challenge it, because it's obviously something that needs to be supported. It's not the 1950s.... climate change is an accepted fact of science and carbon pricing is the new normal, the world over. Fighting it makes you seem like a dinosaur...it's laughable...and sadly, that's Alberta in a nutshell.

excellent - thanks for sharing that. As mentioned, tho....doesn't seem super confident.

meant to share this earlier -- really concerning, if it actually happens:

As Dave Naylor pointed out this morning -- front office staff already took the 20% cut during the pause, and continue to do so.....

not sure about MB, but with variants raging out of control in AB, the Minister of Health (a real ******* moron, but that's neither here nor there...) said the other day that half of all hospitalizations are people under 65, and nearly 80% of ICUs are under 65..... the variants are attacking "younger" populations hard. The 3rd wave that we're seeing develop is going to decimate a "younger" population much worse than we saw with the initial strain...

100% why he was sent to that post, IMO..... Doer would have been a nightmare for Cons if he was a federal leader...

some interesting stuff in here: https://3downnation.com/2021/03/24/insider-talk-betting-losing-money-the-cfls-business-model/

there's a lot to like about CMcD..... he's insanely talented......but he's also got the right personality/attitude. He's not a whiner like Crosby has been his whole career. McDavid is just a "nose down, work hard, shut your mouth" kid. He's everything you like to see in a Canadian hockey player.

Poor Timmy Peel... got caught saying what we all know and accept, so they **** can him. Weak move by the Chel...

Bingo. I consider myself fiscally conservative, and socially liberal.....likely somewhere just left of Centre, on the political spectrum......and JCon explained perfectly how I generally feel.

*edit*

Well....there's elite talent, and then there's McJesus. The kid is a freak of nature. There's nobody even in the same realm as this guy in the league. Not being able to defend him is no real crime. There's nobody in the league that can do it effectively (the Leafs series was clearly an aberration). I have full faith that if the Jets and Oilers meet up in the North Final (certainly my hope) then the Jets are absolutely going to find a way to defend McDavid and the Oilers much better....and if we're all lucky it's a 7 game series, because that'd be an absolute dandy reminiscent of the late 80s...

Honestly feel like we'll be able to see Black Widow in theatre for realzies.... and I'm pretty stoked about that.

They're not wrong.....

Manitobans aged 65 can now get the vaccine...

he was the best kicker in the league not named Medlock, so yeah, definitely mature enough...
