  1. Nice! Okay ,Maybe not, Maybe yes. Quick flip a coin
  2. So do you think these TSN guys like Stanbeck ?
  3. I had posted that and the Guardian article it came from. They had said %90 to % 95 of the TOTAL population ,not the eligible. I don't know if that would ever be possible. What % of the population is under 5 or ineligible due to health issues.Never mind the nutbar group. I guess the way I look at it is the higher we get that vaccination % the better. The more careful we are (within reason ) the better. We also need to balance that with keeping the economy going and our social/ mental health. I keep going back to a quote I heard from a infectious disease DR who said " there is no safe , only safer ". Barring a miracle this could go on for years. Maybe with the pill ( if its accepted by the anti crowd ) and booster shots we can beat it down to a less significant threat.
  4. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/nov/12/covid-cases-surging-europe-america-denial One of the points in this article is that %90 vaccination rate of the total population or more may be required for the Delta variant. I believe Manitoba is at %73 of the total population but I'm not sure how up to date that figure is.
  5. My mistake. Thanks. I fixed if because most of my points still stand.
  6. Many young men spend the rest of their days in jail or are sent to death row because they brought a gun to a robbery " just as a threat " and things went bad. They plead that they really didn't intend to use it. The prosecution will counter with " if you bring a gun, you intend to use it ". The differences here are simple. This kid is white. The people shot might have been the "dreaded " Antifa. Therefore everything is different. Americans have conjured up this idea of what the American West was like in the 1800s. They believe all the old movies despite the fact that it's totally Hollywood. It's a bizarre mentality that would let you think you should go to a riot with weapons. That you have a right to" stand your ground " That walking around in public with weapons is going to end well.That all of that would be a good thing. The fact that he will in all likelyhood get off is just another statement on the collapse of that nation.
  7. I agree there were alot of issues to start. As far as ideal leadership, it hasn't existed in any provinces. I was upset with the Trudeau government's bungling of procuring/ producing of vaccines at the start. But I will swallow my utter dislike of him and say they have done well since. I'm not a fan of our current provincial government but I will say the same for them. Not good to start but have done pretty well since.
  8. The current government has done a pretty good job. They have led the country with vaccine passports. They have had some of the toughest restrictions and have generally brought them in earlier than most other provinces. All our numbers verify this. And this is despite having the moronic Winkler/ Stanley crowd. This is a nasty, nasty virus that is not going away. It could go on for years. So they can't simply shut everything down permanently. It's not ALL the fault of the unvaccinated. ( who I don't understand at all ) It's the fault of the virus. We may have won some battles against it but the war continues.
  9. Just for perspective 37 deaths in Southern Health in a little over 2 months would be roughly the same as 130 deaths in Winnipeg. But as far as I have observed many in the region simply don't care.
  10. And Alford keeps the 4th quarter wall intact
  11. So McGuire is so damn good at that that they can muck about with the 1st try
  12. A dumb penalty that snatches away a momentum shift
  13. Down by one possesion and we are all deeply concerned. Doesnt that say a bunch about this season.
  14. Collaros don't shake your hand like that, it scares me
