there's a lot of buzz about a federal election this year. With his (mostly) good handling of the pandemic, plus the general disgust toward conservative politics (fueled by what we've seen in the States), Trudeau is going to absolutely slaughter O'Toole....

I'd settle for the Bombers playing any games at IGF this year...ha ha. Start with that, and we'll go from there... I'm mildly more optimistic today than I was yesterday with Roussin saying that the plan is for anyone who wants the vaccine to be able to get it by September. This a day after Atwal said they don't think they can get more than 70% of the population inoculated within the calendar year...

Most underrated player in the league........

I remember listening to some Bombers content...don't remember if it was on CJOB or if it was the Bombers Podcast feat Irving, but either way..... Bob said "they HAVE to come back in 2021...there's no other choice....because if they have to shut down for two years in a row, they won't make it.... it'll be done". Maybe I'm just feeling the January Winter Blues + COVID + Terrorism...... but man, I just don't see how they'll possibly run this year unless they figure out a way to play without fans in the stands. And Ambrosie wouldn't even entertain the notion in November. There was no other way, without fans in the stands.

and I think the TRULY unfortunate thing is.......if we lose a second season, we might lose the league entirely. I don't think they can survive a second lost season.

Sadly, I really don't believe the season is going to happen. With Manitoba Health saying today that only 70% of MB will be inoculated by the end of the year, there's just no chance fans are allowed in stadiums, and with no fans, there is no season. They still have absolutely no plan for how to operate with no fans in attendance. Just incredibly depressing.

Alberta had a bunch of those yesterday...to nobody's surprise. There are MANY Trump supporters out here...especially in rural AB.

Pallister wanting to open the economy (move from Red to Orange) by the end of January. If things keep going up, as we suspect based on Christmas gatherings, I just don't see how he can do that in good conscience.

I know of exactly 1 29 year old career 3rd stringer-turned-starter, Mr Fajardo, and you sir, are no Khari Jones.......

that CFL News Twitter feed is running a bunch of quotes from Fajardo talking about how he's "not that interested in the NFL".... "The money is there, sure, but........" blah blah.... LIKE HE WOULD HAVE A LEGITIMATE CHANCE! It is staggering to me that a career 3rd string CFLer is all of a sudden being talked about as the second coming of Ricky Ray.....staggering!

Demski official... Good to have him back.

there's an argument to be made that Big Stan is the best OL in CFL history. Also, while a huge Pat Neufeld fan, it's tough for me to say he's better overall than Hardrick, because Hardrick is the best RT in the league. RT is a lot tougher to play than RG. Neufeld is extremely versatile and can play multiple positions, but I don't believe he plays RT better than Hardrick, so my vote goes to Yoshi. I personally think SB/JH are the best tandem tackles in the league and among the best of all time. And that's saying something, because we previously had the consensus best tackle tandem of all time, in Walby/Gorell...

This is my favourite post on this site for a long time... Well done.

I know I'm probably in a miniscule minority, but Canadian players are a big part of why I watch CFL football and not NFL. It's our game, our people. I don't care to necessarily see the best possible players.... I am all about Canada, and as much of that as we can get.

when even Ezra Levant was saying he was disappointed, you knew something was going to happen....

Buncha ****** assholes. My MLA (a good dude in a shitty party. Being in media, he and I are relatively close) who also happens to be Speaker Of The Leg, was caught up in the rumour mill initially, but confirmed that he hasn't left AB since August. I actually ran into him at the grocery store on Christmas Eve and he texted me at work on New Years Eve day, so I was pretty sure... But still. So many entitled assholes within that party. I dare any one of these idiots to scream about "Laurentian Elites" ever again....

Less than a thousand tests, tho... So TP not down as much as you'd think. Still good to see the number go down tho.

I may have missed it earlier but had there been any word about the 3rd vaccine (Astra Zeneca) coming to Canada? I haven't seen anything... Of we've even made deals to procure some of it when available. At any rate, here's hoping that we get more and more and more...

Something like 1/3 of Jason Kenney's UCP government in AB has been busted for traveling abroad over Christmas and deliberately misleading their constituents with social media posts suggesting they're at home. Absolutely disgusting. I wish there was an election next week...

Well, great start to the new year for our family. My mother in law, in LTHC with MS, got her first dose today. Will get the second next month we're told. That's all I really wanted for Christmas....

I know this isn't to the tastes of most on this board, but as we head into 2021, I think it's important to remember that life IS gonna be good again... Eventually.

They should pump the Czech's... Who aren't that good. 19 1st Round picks... I damn well hope they're dominating teams. It's the very definition of an all star team...

2020 can get right ******. 2021 is gonna be a fantastic year... I can feel it.
