the watcher

Merry Christmas to everyone here. Here's to a more sane year, a more settled world and hopefully a return of football to defend that cup.

A tale from rural MB: We do most of our shopping in Winkler. Here are some things from our last 2 trips. We had things to pick up at Wal-Mart and the maskless lady in front of us was stopped and given the choice of buying one for a buck or leaving . She left. In the entire store there was maybe 2 or 3 that were not masked.Probably %99 compliance. We went to the Super Store for groceries.Despite the big sign claiming they have made masks mandatory there was no one watching the front. I would estimate less than %50 of customers were wearing masks. Worse yet , maskless staff with carts blocking half the aisle restocking shelves. Canadian Tire ? Maybe % 5 of customers with masks and not a single solitary worker had one on . I have a deep suspicion that comes from management. I fully expect a massive outbreak in Southern Health.

Thanks for posting that. He's an easy guy to like. I hope he finds a spot and does well.

A couple of comments. As far as those that won't get vaccinated, I think it will be way, way less than %20 in Canada.I would be shocked if it was 10. As far as a second wave, if numbers go up we will do what we did at the start.Use Canadian commonsense, be calm and do what's right.If we have to back off on opening , so be it. I hate seeing the idiot behavior and rhetoric creep across the border worse than the disease.

It's more than bad optics. His mother, brother and wife received money. A total of $300,000 for speaking. He is once again under investigation by the ethics commissioner. Can the ONLY PM to ever be found guilty by the ethics commissioner be found guilty a 3rd time ? Shame on the rudderless conservatives for not being able to field a leader capable of defeating him.

You can't carry a sign into the Michigan Capitol building. You CAN carry an assault rifle into the Michigan Capitol building. Friggen insanity.

So is TSN showing the whole 2nd round or do they shut it down regardless at 9:00

I watched the Grey Cup game last night and guess what, WE WON !!! I'll never tire of watching that game.

If this Pandemic has done nothing else it has shown the glaring difference in our two countries. Every time I watch the news from South of the border all I can think is " thank God Im on this side of the line ".Ever since Katrina I have been of the mind that we are watching a nation in its death throws. Violence, hate, anger, greed, an inability to pull together even in a time of crisis, a complete lack of empathy for each other. Its one of the few countries in the world that has allowed politics to take presidence over fighting the pandemic. Lots of mistakes have been made by many countries but always its been leaders TRYING to do what they think is right and best for their people. The real question for me is how far will the crumble go.

Or success

Pretty serious stuff for them.Their life as they knew it is over. They have the potential to spend a good chunk of their life in that massive penal system to the south of us.

If I had an account at Riderfans I'd post this. I wouldn't say anything, just let that do the talking.

Strev was a entertaining football player. He had me up out of my chair cheering many times. Im glad we got to see him in Blue and Gold. I hope he makes a fortune down there.

It's a new year ! Holy crap we are still the Grey Cup Champs !

The biggest two signings of the year. (Or 3 years ) Everything else is flexible

Lapo seemed wildly inconsistent to me. At times he seemed to deserve the offensive guru label that the press loves to stick on him. Then the next moment he seemed to be way to cute. I think the "offensive guru " tag went to his head at times.Case in point the Sask game where he seemed to be trying to turn Strevs into a dropback passer. And wouldn't quit trying. I wish him all the best though. He OCed us to a Grey Cup.Thanks Lapo !

Agreed

I think Winnipeg really needed this. So much negative crap lately. What a moment

Wow, just wow

Ok, I'm gonna allow myself to relax and accept it. We have won.

He will be chucking it so a pick coming up

Crap

It's a catch !

Woo hoo

Oh my Lord is he having a game
