  1. The virus goes dormant during protests? So if a 2nd wave does hit and Trudeau demands people to stay home.... could we simply not throw it in his face to lead by example and go out and enjoy being in public with others because our own leader did it? Him trying to win votes clearly is more important then setting an example for protecting the health of the country. It just hammers home more so that you can never take anything he says with any sort of weight or merit.
  2. It worked for New York back in the day.... only for people to complain and wanting to re-do it again to them these days. I don't see how they can make a drastic change... it'll be the same officers with the same equipment and with the same training. It's not like they'll have a drastic change in how they perform the duties. The only deterrent I think they could implement is a more severe punishment for any wrong doing.
  3. I don't think the beach should be opened myself *if* they are banning sporting events and local businesses from having everyone come in as well. Personally I think they should open it all or close it all... you can't give exceptions regardless of the cause.
  4. Well he was the first one to set Evander Kane in place by punching him out lol so he's always been a leader on the team.
  5. My only confusion is that Trudeau preached to social distance and to do what's right and then goes against what he said we should do. Kind of a hypocrite IMO.
  6. IMO If the city is allowing a protest then ALL business should be allowed to re-open. You can't pick and choose when a virus and the health of the public is applicable. The 15 000 folks at the leg choose to be selfish and if they are allowed to neglect being responsible then why should the rest of the province need to follow the rules? Or should the protest organizers also be fined heavily like local businesses for not following orders? You can cut your hair from home, you can also protest from home.
  7. Wiebe on the radio did not bring much to the table... he came off as generic and speaking the obvious. I did not read his articles so I cannot comment on his writing abilities.
  8. Not everyone, I was watching the global stream and from what I watched it looked at about 80% of the people wearing masks. I definitely saw many faces and was trying to pick out if I recognized anyone. Absolutely nobody social distanced.
  9. Gord Miller doesn't come across arrogant when he calls CFL games. Him and Matty have good chemistry and are my favorite duo to watch regardless of whatever teams are playing. I also don't really care about Miller having a face for radio and don't understand the importance of having an attractive PBP guy to call CFL games?
  10. I would assume in broadcasting most people would work their way to the top? Wouldn't it be the entry level PBP needing to give them a chance?
  11. Dustin Neilson did a good job last season , I assume he will only get better once he has more chemistry with whoever he ends up with. Suitor is decent when he's calling games that don't involve the Riders.
  12. So you don't believe in the philosophy of hiring the best candidate available?
  13. I watched the live stream, clearly most people did not follow the social distancing. I'm curious to see if the numbers go up. I assume everyone who went needs to quarantine for 14 days?
  14. Impossible a guy calling two sports !!!
  15. Yelling at the TV does not count as PBP
  16. You don't think professional PBP guys can't call multiple sports? Tonnes of them already do it in the States? Hell Rod Black does it ! I'm going to say you and Noeller are dead wrong and take a hard stance on it. If Rod Black (who isn't great even ignoring the weird tangents he goes off on) can do it, then surely other professionals can do the same or better. I'm not saying hire a guy off the street, but I'm sure somebody would like a promotion to TSN if they are hiring.
  17. You know this from experience? I have never done radio PBP but I'm pretty sure that if I were calling the Grey Cup I would be able to figure out how to say Harris takes the hand off for 6 yards instead of "Keith Urban you're my idol *slobber* *slobber*". Tonnnnnnnnnnes of PBP guys do multiple sports it's not that hard. Football I'd imagine being easier since it's far slower then Hockey/Basketball.
  18. Lol stay in school kids! This was done in North Kildonan....
  19. Pederson is so unlikable regardless of his Green goggles. No way in heck they'd hire him. I can't imagine it being that hard to find a PBP guy... even our local radio guys (Moore/Edmonds) could do the job.
  20. More Miller and Dunigan and the new guy which yet again I forgot his name!
  21. And unlike WCW .... I'd assume AEW is it's own separate entity so no suits are going to interfere with it even if business isn't very profitable. As for NFL owners.... I assume once more of the dinosaur old white guy owners die off and the club gets passed down to family or to businesses.... maybe then the owners will be more supportive?
  22. Local news.... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-metis-federation-winnipeg-homeless-camp-1.5597646 I drove by yesterday for the first time in a few months and holy cow this camp is out of control now. I'm amazed that the city hasn't done anything yet as it looks like a huge fire hazard.
  23. He has skills in throwing a football .... I'd expect much more intelligence coming from a doctor. I would say President also but...... 🙄 A rich man doesn't mean you excel in public speaking.
  24. It took me over a minute to realize that it was a spelling mistake for protests lol.... I was trying to understand why he made a strong statement on condoms lol. Is he the only non white NFL owner? I'd assume most are super old white guys?
