the watcher

I'm hoping there is a ground swell of anger over this that forces governments to act. Mayor Bowman is calling for towing and clearing, Jagmeet Singh is calling for a crackdown, real truckers are demanding it be stopped.  Maybe it's time for the % 70 to be letting our various representatives we want it stopped both whatever means are necessary.

Ya love to see it! It's so, so nice to see these covidiots get a dose of reality and that they have no legal ground on which to stand with their feeble arguments dripping with ignorance and entitlement.
This sets a really good precedent going forward, IMO.

I'd make a pretty bid to get to be the driver.

The worst of the worst and the dumbest of the dumb, it takes a certain kind of stupid that these people thrive on and think they are in the right

Federal Conservatives have realized big business is not liking this and gotta tow that line. This has been condemned by a large number of large corporations on both sides of the border. Shame on them for encouraging and emboldening the occupations. Look where it has got them in a short amount of time. Third party status is more than these selfish, spineless grifters deserve. They could have prevented a lot of this from happening.
The PC government proposed Bill 57 to protect critical infrastructure and protests like this from happening. Definitely don't see any of the same sentiments being expressed now that the protestors look like them and support their party. This would(and has been in the past) be handled completely different by the government and the police force if it was an indigenous movement.

I see your giant hammers and raise you an automobile plow:

Add in a protest at a Steibach school that has caused it to go into lock down.

I think all levels of government need to use whatever means they have available to come down as hard as they can. They are blocking #75 with trucks and farm equipment. Apparently some are parking there and leaving. Real truckers are complaining they can't get through to do their business. The RCMP SAY technically they can tow and charge but they don't want to inflame the situation. Totally wrong in my opinion . Hook on, tow them and charge the owners with the max you can and everything you can. Make them pay for lawyers to defend themselves , then we will see how many show up again. ......Hammers , I want hammers. Great big F...ing hammers .It's time.

Government needs to grow a pair and crack down. Haul the vehicles away and impound them. Charge these people. Blockading a highway and now apparently doing the same at the Ottawa airport isn't protesting, its domestic terrorism. **** these assholes.

The stupidity has spread to New Zealand. Some 150 protesters who stated that their inspiration came from watching Canada tried to mob the legislature there, but were almost immediately arrest and carted off. In Behaviour Modification, the sooner and more vigorous a negative consequence follows an an act, the less likely that person is to repeat that act. Canada still has not learned this in dealing with the "truckers" protests.

Nearly two weeks of this tantrum by human garbage. Enough is enough.

Up until Harris chose to go to the media no one was dumping on him. However, he went public with what should have stayed behind closed doors and now fans are responding to it. There is nothing Riderfans about that. 
FACT: Andrew Harris, by his own admission, came into camp out of shape and unfocused last year. Saying that is not dumping on him it's a matter of public record now.
FACT: Andrew Harris chose to go to Toronto for more money. That too is public record.
FACT: No one in the Bomber organization commented on this in anything but a very positive manner. Harris chose to go to the media about his departure.
FACT: When a prominent player signs elsewhere in FA, talks to the media about it, there is going to be discussion that arises from that amongst the fans. Doesn't matter what fan base you belong too.
FACT: Long before Harris left people were wondering what his role should/would be with the Bombers with most suggesting it was a year for him to pass the torch. This is not new.
FACT: Not a single person here, unlike RIderfans, is minimizing Harris's past contributions or role with the team.

No player is bigger than the team....Harris found that out the hard way....kudos for him getting more money elsewhere, but he is 35 this yr, and we have 2 young bucks chomping at the bit.
From what I get out of it, Augustine is pulling in the most, not sure where but Harris was offered between 115k and prob 130k...and didnt like it...is what it is.
His public comment tho on feeling disrespected and not wanted, due to having to prove health/ability is kind of a bad look on him tho, and don't blame the team for wanting to do that...for all you know others may have to submit some kind of fitness report, and proof of ability...it does happen....it also is needed for insurance reasons...Personally I became un-insurable at one point and no team will touch you.
Augustine and Brady will play a duo role...I thinking JA getting the "starting" role, then the go with how game flows...I'd like to see BO tho get in the 220 range with his weight tho...that 10 pound drop wont effect his power...prob make him more powerful running to be honest
Was a crappy ending to an awesome era with Harris, carried this team at times, and was inspirational leader as well....but we have a room full of leaders and he will be missed, but it wont be the culture, or locker room demise by any stretch...If anything make it tighter, as others will see what can happen
 

Soooo....the stupidity stops at the BC- Alberta border. At least for now.

I teach a martial art and right now it's mostly kids. I work them hard for an hour with masks on. I give them a chance a couple of times to separate and have a drink with their masks off for less than a minute. So ya, I think shopping is possible. Maybe not for the anti mask softies mind you.
 
A quote from the book I'm reading, in reference to the American state of a affairs  but it fits here.    "  Factual evidence, since it is an impediment to what we desire, is banished "       Its become a huge issue in the world. From Covid, to climate change,  to politics , the facts and the truth no longer seem to matter. 
I'm so sorry to hear that Tracker. That's an awful thing to have todeal with.

I mean, let’s just call it what it is. Harris didn’t just develop this chip on his shoulder when he became a Bomber, he’s been like that his entire career and for the most part, it’s served to work for him and not against him.
In this case, it may have worked against him. There’s nothing wrong with expressing some doubt in a 35 year old who plays a position 35 year olds don’t play, especially when you’ve seen a history of ongoing issues related to your concerns. He wasn’t coming to camp in shape, the team was a bit put off because they expected more and they asked to try and meet in a middle ground. “If you’re telling us your commitment to staying in shape isn’t going to be an issue, show us” isn’t an unreasonable request. Quite honestly, this isn’t meant to shine negatively upon anyone but we all know if this was anyone BUT Harris, we’d all be in the corner of Walters and O’Shea.
Wade is in the business of promoting the team. Walters and O’Shea are not. Hometown kid or not, they’re in the business of winning football games and while I may or may not agree with their choice, I understand the thought process that went into it.
