Sorry about that! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I think the sound has been cleared up now. Let me know if it continues to be an issue! 

Booch man I love reading your insights and I know we are joking here but tbh reading jokes about ambushing the forum whipping boys makes me feel a little gross.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we get bad VA next week. He’s always been so unpredictable. He was scary good yesterday but I’m thinking even if he’s on, we’ll have a plan for him. I hope includes pressure.

Well, just an update on my EI claim from yesterday. It took me an hour & a half of redialing, getting thru, dropped calls after doing so or being told ton call back as they were unable to take my call I actually got into the queue. According to my phone I called back 126 times before getting through. After a 6 hour wait on hold & constantly fretting that my call would be dropped but wasn't I spoke to an actual person who took care of my mistake from yesterday. My claim has been reactivated & I can now do my EI reports. I'm not complaining. I'm just relieved it's all taken care of. 

Well, sir, there's nothing on earth
Like a genuine, bona fide
Electrified, 35,000 seat Stadium
What'd I say?
Stadium
What's it called?
Stadium
That's right! Stadium
Stadium
Stadium
Stadium
I hear those things are awfully loud
Not in the playoffs and not with our crowd.
Is there a chance the walls could bend?
Not on your life, Watermelon-head
What about us brain-dead slobs?
You'll be given radio jobs
Were you sent here by a Bomber?
No, good sir, my sister is my mother
My ring came off in the can
We have three more, my good man
I swear it's Regina's only choice
Throw up your hands and raise your voice
Stadium
What's it called?
Stadium
Once again
Stadium
But Albert Street's all cracked and broken
Sorry, Mom, the mob has spoken
Stadium!
Stadium!
Stadium!
Stadium!
Stadi, d'oh!

I want Jason Kenney removed from Alberta.

Listen...just like any leader of any company. They should only focus on 1 thing and only 1 thing at a time until it is completely resolved to the liking of every fan/customer across the country. Obviously!
Honestly though. Some people have absolutely no vision of the future. But will gladly complain when the future doesnt turn out as bright and shiney as they want it to be.

Could we seriously keep this thread to talking about Walker? Or at least keep it to spin off conversations about Walker. 
 
 

I'd love if we would stop continuously looking backwards at our history and start focusing on the future,  Bug Grant, Milt Stegall, Charles Roberts, or whomever have nothing whatsoever to do with the 2019 Bombers.  Their time was then, and they got their due.

Lotta revisionist history about Nichols. He took deep shots and completed deep shots before he was injured. During that 7-2 run, we had the highest-producing offense in the league and our red zone production was off the charts. 

again this is why Albertans are pissed off. 
"oh you have it good, quit bitching"
That's exactly how the states wound up with Donald Trump. When people are angry being dismissive of them only leads to more anger. Try listening to why these people are upset. Husky just laid off 500 more people yesterday, all those preconceived notions you spouted and all the facts about income and taxes in Alberta, it's not helpful to people who lose not only jobs but careers. 
Than you have the political parties offering no help for the oil and gas sector while making noises in the anti oil and gas vein and anti Alberta... Alberta was made out to be a pariah for political gain and you are damned rights that will lead to resentment. 
Now I personally don't believe this separatist talk is anything serious, it's just people voicing their anger. The anger is a valid feeling considering what has been happening the few years, it's time to take it seriously and not simply dismiss it.  

gee wonder why alberta feels like they do...

I don't know if its based in reality but if it ever catches on in BC or Manitoba then who knows? It's already picking up steam in Saskatchewan. With potentially another 2-4 years of Trudeau, Blanchet & Singh who knows where this movement goes? It could fizzle out or grow. It's up to the politicians in Ottawa. And before someone accuses me of being a separatist, I'm not. I live in Calgary & just commenting on what is going on out here. People are pissed, big time. I understand why. 

isn't that how he got the captaincy in the first place??

I like Singh and May as leaders but will never vote for either, they're platforms are unrealistic and beyond affordable, they would do so much harm to the economic foundations of this country that we would never recover (think Ontario under Wynne x 1000). I only vote Liberal when there is a competent PM and cabinet, unlike this current version. I know some people are drawn to the whole diversity thing but that should never be the basis of building a management group for 2 trillion dollars of public assets. So I am left with the safe choice, the Conservatives, even though I agree with many who think Sheer is a weenie, they will at least be the best stewards of our public funds while at the same making life more affordable for everyone. I'm not scared away by all the ridiculous notions that they are somehow going to take all your human rights away, this is just a common scare tactic the left has to use because they can't compete on an economic level with them. 

I consider this episode of blackface to be more stupid than racist. It's still racist, but imo it's more an indictment of his intelligence than proof he's a racist person.

Trudeau's biggest weakness has always been that he just isn't that bright.  While his blackface episodes are clearly insensitive (even racist under today's lens), I don't believe they were done with any malicious intent.  There are a lot of people out there who will cross a line in order to have the "best" or most outrageous costume at a party - they just don't stumble their way upward into the PM's chair. 
I don't think he's a racist and if he is - he doesn't govern like one.  His cabinet was the most diverse in the country's history (while Conservative critics suggested then that they were somehow unqualified just because they weren't white males) and he increased the number of Syrian refugees allowed into our country.  They have accelerated clean water initiatives on reserves and have not walked away from treaty settlements ala Harper.  He did not demote JWR because she was native and I have a very hard time believing that a native woman would ever be named to that post under a Conservative government in the first place.
 

Conservatives played one region against another. And ran up deficits. They cut taxes to drive up the deficit. 
Liberals and Conservatives run the same playbook. They just tag each other in every so often. 

Yeah, we do know what we're doing. It was time for the Spend Train with Notley as the engineer to be pulled into the station & put out of service. She was never going to win a 2nd term. You know the NDP were never going to get the economy moving again.

In my opinion, there has been a lot of embarrassing discourse going on in this thread today and over the last year or two.   After numerous attempts to try and curb peoples behavior people don't want to listen, so some lengthy suspensions have been handed out.   I'm tired of the stupidity that goes on in here daily, and I'm sure many others are as well.
If people can't have a discussion without belittling, making fun of, and insulting others, they aren't welcome to post here.  Interesting video here from 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate Tulsi  Gabbard.
I recommend watching the whole thing, but this link has been queued up to start at 48:28.   Watch it for a good 5 - 7 minutes.  What Rogan is saying here is pretty applicable to what has been going on in here.  The amount of times I've been asked to remove posts for the simple reason that people don't agree with them is damn right scary.   I don't care if you are left or right leaning, if you aren't actually interested in discourse and give basic respect to people, and try to understand where someone is coming from society is going to a very very bad place.  
Forums are supposed to be about discussion.  Not silencing dissenting views or simply posting to "win" the debate at all costs.
