there's a real problem in the bible belt south of the Trans Can.....vast majority of people not getting vaxxed. They need to find a way to get that done...

so I just discovered this today.... it really misses the whistle solos of the original, but it's still really solid, as most Cornell things are..........

really hoping all these awful Con govt's in charge provincially get tossed at the next election. Never forget how badly they handled things...

Alberta will approve it for sure. They will approve ANYTHING.... right now it's just about optics for them. But I have zero doubts that Alberta will be among the first (if not THE FIRST) to sign off on having the CFL fire up with fans in the stands.

Helle stole one.... Team played generally well defensively. At some point McJesus is gonna take over and this is gonna be a long series, but Goddamit this was fun to watch. I'd hoped for OT... 7 games of multiple OTs is what these two great teams deserve.... But it was a fun game. Refs kept the whistles tucked... Just how I like it. Playoff hockey... Great goaltending on both sides. Bounces went Jets way tonight.

Like the incompetent and heartless assholes they are, Alberta decided today that they're going to send kids back into classrooms on Tuesday after the long weekend. By far the single biggest thing bringing AB numbers down had been kids out of school. So we're gonna send em back and now entire families will get sick and continue to pressure the health system, as our Hospitalization and ICU numbers remain at record highs...

McDavid calls come from him being so much faster than even the next fastest guy in the league. Ends up drawing a lot of hooks, trips, slashes and interference... He also takes a ton of abuse that doesn't get called. He's just much less of a whiner than Crosby.

They won their last two going into playoffs!! What do you want exactly? I mean if you wanna talk about urgency, the Jets won 2 and the Oilers lost miserably in their final game....

Yeah, I'd agree... the fact that they're playing games, and the Jets can't eve be bothered to start their series until tonight proves to me that they just don't care as much as everyone else.

More and more, I think people are realizing that our aggressive "1st dose to as many as possible" strategy is a winning one....

ha ha no, not that one......but I do watch live broadcasts of guys fishing sometimes. I'm a big fan of Keewatin's Jeff "Gussy" Gustafsson, who competes on the Bass Master Elite Series Tour in the US, and they have actual live TV coverage of that (it's kinda similar to golf coverage) and can't believe how addicting it is to watch....yeeeesh. Friggin' bass fishing on TV (actually on my laptop, because it's online...)

Wiebe is the GOAT for YouTube guys. Jay is solid, if a little bit "Magoo" at times. Clayton Schick, also a part of their "shared universe" is solid, and Tom Boley (Wisconsin guy) might be the best overall fisherman of all of them, and has solid vids. Congrats on the property up north...that's the dream! I'm perpetually on the hunt for work in The Shield so I can fish every single damn day of my life....

Yeah, we download all that stuff off a server these days. Most stations use a mix of syndicated features and pre-recorded announcers (voice tracking) to fill up weekends. I'm intensely passionate about the Winnipeg (and Manitoba, overall...) media scene, but obviously don't get to listen in as much as I'd like. Technology like Radio Player Canada and iHeart Radio are helpful, for sure. It's been mentioned that Winnipeg has several stations playing very similar "Classic Rock" stuff... I really feel like Winnipeg has a LARGE demographic that likes that style of music, so they can get away with more stations splitting the advertising pie for that format.

Ya I'm not doing a happy dance in AB yet, because our TP is still 11%, and we're only seeing 7500ish tests per day. Overall numbers coming down but that TP is gross. Hospitals and ICU beds still overloaded and climbing. Apparently Kenney is announcing our relaunch plan next week, which will of course be WAY too much WAY too soon.... Oi.

Habs given permission to host 2500 fans at The Bell Centre starting May 28th...wow. Man that seems insane to me, but as a CFL fan, that's exciting to think about. Fans in stadiums is way safer than fans in arenas...

the short answer is you can't......you just have to try and limit him as much as possible. And be disciplined...don't give him any extra chances.

Jesus....I'm behind on the news. Let me get caught up and see if I can contribute here. QX won't change much...they're untouchable. Absolutely dominant in the Winnipeg market. If the "Bounce" format is the same as others, then it's a hip-hop/dance/EDM kinda thing? That would be curious in the Winnipeg market....I'll go do some reading... *edit* Just looks like they're doing away with the BOB name....that's about all that's going on. Not sure if Howard Kroeger, who owns the rights to the name, is shutting it down, or is maybe charging more money for it or what....but all that's happening is a name change. I'll have to check on the "Jack" formats out west, which are related. Anyhow, format and announcers all staying the same at 94.3 in Wpg....good to hear.

I'm a media member who very much believes in "just the facts"..... sometimes that seems like fear mongering, but it's really just the reality. I'm still feeling hopeful for a Canada Day get together with my friends....... *insert fingers crossed emoji*

You guys are a couple of weeks behind us in AB......and I can give you a bit of a peek into the future: As much exponential growth as you're seeing now, you're going to see nearly equal exponential "decay", as they call it. The numbers are going to fall off a cliff once enough people are vaccinated (combined with people adhering to public health measures and the natural decline of cold/flu season come summer time). We went from more than 2000/day cases to just over 1000 in about a week. Active cases is falling every day by several hundred. Our hospitalizations are falling (tho the ICU is still up there and needs to come down...) Do what you can to limit your interactions with others....get vaccinated.......the good will come. Stay safe, my friends!

David Asper..... And if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have IGF.

and dat would FINALLY be a good game!

Nice to be on a bit of a roll. If Stastny and PLD are hurt along with Ehlers.... That's a tough blow.

Sooooooo... not sure where to put this post, but this thread will do.......and man, I have no idea what all of this means for the WBB FC, exactly, but it's interesting.

Alberta has JUST peaked (we're pretty sure) and I think we're a couple weeks ahead of you guys.......so i would THINK that you guys are a couple weeks away from the crest of the wave, but who knows.....

I just don't really get hip-hop artists and disco acts.....so far from "Rock and Roll"......getting inductions. I mean, if you want to change the name to US Music Hall Of Fame, that's fine....
