the watcher

So if there is someone I don't like , say the owner of a large multi national Corp, I should head to their funeral and  crack jokes and mock them ?  No , I wouldn't because it's insulting for mourners. The world needs alot more courtesy not more Maga style insults and mocking.
It will be interesting to see where he takes it. He certainly will be a supporter fighting climate change and  of the Green movement in general . But walking in her shoes is a tall order.

The Queen waved at me once. early eighties I think.
 
I was crossing Portage, standing on Meridian. cold day, nobody around. RCMP motorcycles in formation went by.
then A Bentley. Queen at the window, looking out, with hand held in wave position.
since I was the only person there, she was waving at me!

Someone just died that millions of people  care about . You can be as anti monarch as you want but the thoughtful and kind thing to do would be to leave them to mourn in there own way . Making jokes Iwithin  hours IS thoughtless and ignorant towards them regardless of your own opinion.

More ignorant and thoughtless in my. opinion

It's a pretty significant event for the world, the commonwealth nations in particular, irrespective of one's opinion on the monarchy.
May she rest in peace.

PM Trudeau made a  pretty good statement / comment.He did a  good job of encapsulating what she was all about.

My grandparents were staunch British and believed in the monarchy, so I got a lot of that as a kid. I'm proud of my British heritage, and Canada's relationship with the monarchy (though, the colonizer aspect of it all is something that needs reckoning with). Not sure how accurate it is, but I've really learned a lot from watching The Crown. 

Yes, the PM of Britain has stated he will be King Charles III.

The Jets should raise her giant portrait to the rafters for the start of this season. 
Would also expect the Bombers to have a moment of silence at the game this weekend. 

She was an excellent monarch, that was extremely adept at moving with the times and with grace and dignity. Her political influence helped lead to the end of apartheid in South Africa. Her influence on feminism cannot be overstated. These just two of many reasons to mourn her loss. RIP. God save the Queen.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of the monarchy this is a significant event. She was still our head of state for 70 years! The impact might not be immediate but her passing will likely change politics in many commonwealth countries. I be the monarchy is ditched in more than a few commonwealth countries going forward.

Good guy, always worked on the ice,enjoy your retirement Mathieu!

There is a rider fan claiming that Marino probably asked for a release as there are other leagues he can go to and was tired of being picked on in the CFL (I’m paraphrasing most of that). 
Like what in the actual F….

ZC literally got to watch Marino run his ass out of the league 

Voyager 1 talks again.

I heard an interview , msnbc radio, of Mike Pence advisor re the handling of classified documents in trump whitehouse.
 
she found classified documents leftin the women's washroom, at the Whitehouse.
the brilliant Ivanka probably.
astonishing that Trump is not in jail.
who did he sell to?  maybe,
1. Putin.
2. Saudi Arabia
3. Israel
4. North Korea.
or.... one or both of, India/Pakistan.
I dont think the Americans will find out the truth.
there might well be a death sentence for this for anyone else. certainly life in jail, and dead broke.

Dave Naylor   @TSNDaveNaylor · Follow Hearing that a memo has gone-out from CFL commissioner @RandyAmbrosie regarding Garrett Marino, reminding teams that he can refuse to register any player contract for any reason deemed valid. Presumably the valid reason in this instance would be player safety. #CFL #Riders 9:22 AM · Sep 7, 2022
 

We can beat them...

Realistically, Sunday was their Grey Cup. They knew it and came out with their best effort of the year....and lost.

Character with a capital C. 

It was a clear UR call, refs missed it. Its fairly easy to argue since its late, ZC didn't have the ball, Marino's history etc that there was intent to injure. JBR makes excellent points, you need to get rid of this if you're serious about player safety and building your league. On a side note, some people in football (ex Mullinder) need to get out of this football is warrior's battling mentality so you can have dirty plays and dirty hits. Its 2022, we all know about concussions, head trauma, CTE etc.

Not only is life expectancy falling in the USA (down 3 1/2 years over past 20 years) but so is the average education level and even literacy, so it all goes hand in hand.
