Alberta records triple-digit increase for the second straight day, with 105 cases in the last 24H, based on just 6472 tests, for a positive infection rate of about 1.7%. By far the highest rate of infection in Canada right now, per capita. Quite frankly, Alberta opened up too soon and everyone acted as if COVID was over. Alberta has always prided itself on being "Little America", and they're showcasing that in a big way right now...

Are you guys doing "live" worship services right now, or virtual? Those seem potentially dangerous, with singing and general "close-ness"....

I SWEAR TO GOODNESS I'M HEALTHY AND PLEASE LET ME COME HOME IN SEPTEMBER

I am sorry to the colony that had this setback ( @Mark H. hoping it's not Netley!) but somewhat reassuring that it's "contained" to a single area, at least for the good of the general public.

Should be Helle in a rout....

People somehow using this to "make fun" of the Black Lives Matter movement...........I want to say it makes me shake my head, but it's a lot worse than that. It's unbelievable to me that people don't get the severity of that, in this day and age.

It was pretty bad, but they'll have that cleaned up pretty quick. Oilers host Calgary in an exhibition game in a couple weeks, but they'll have no problem fixing it before then. It's all in the concourse by the entrance off 104th. Not near the actual arena.

Empire is the only reasonable solution...get it done.

In the 5 day average, Manitoba is at a 0.16% infection rate. Roussin says an infection rate of 2-3% would be cause for concern in MB. Manitoba needs to maintain social distancing, mask-wearing, hand-washing, etc to ensure they don't see a rise into dangerous territory.

didn't like Childress and absolutely despise Henry Burris. Fart noises. Good for Huff and Uteck as builders, tho...

Intriguing...I like Jamie Foxx, and I will watch Joe Levitt in pretty much anything. This seems like a "I'll catch it on bluray/streaming" movie, but I think I'll dig this.

I'd trade Laine for Eichel, maybe.....but I wouldn't do Connor for Eichel straight up. I don't care where they were drafted.

I want to say I listened to that game on CJOB while camping at Big Whiteshell, but I'm not 100% sure. One of the greatest shames in pro sports is that there is no video of that game, other than a CKND highlight pack. I don't even think CJOB has the logger tapes from that night. Man oh man, what a shame.

Alberta is, now moreso than ever, "Little America".......and they're extremely proud of that fact.

Phenomenal.....I love you Manitoba. Meanwhile, in the cess pool that is Alberta, we've got thousands jamming the beach at Sylvan Lake because people are "over it" re: COVID. From the mouth of the premier, it's time to get back to normal, apparently. Caseloads reaching new highs daily, with outbreaks at care homes. F***, I hate this place sometimes.

We don't bat an eye at Indians, Redskins, Braves and Eskimos..... But if you a team The Whities, Pale-Faces, etc.... You'd bet there'd be questions. It's insane to name sports teams after an ethnicity.

Again, why do we name teams after ethnicities? I don't understand how that even became a thing.

What's the active caseload in MB now? Is it still at 4?

Jets vs Cgy is the late game Aug 3. Man, I'm excited to get things going. Just hope they can stay safe.

You're not wrong.......but man it's insane that this is the world we're living in now.

Disagree....

Coming home for Labour Day and the two weeks following, and hoping the Bombers sticker on my wife's car will keep us from having the tires slashed at any point.....

I love you Manitoba...I just want to come home and be in your healthy, non-COVID-y, non-Republican-loving borders....

the entire notion of nicknaming a team after an ethnicity or race is just ridiculous and makes no sense. I can't imagine the world where it DID make sense...
