the watcher

Time for social media backlash from cfl fans. If they aren't stopped now we won't have a cfl in 5 years. 

I’m a pretty open guy when it comes to change, but this would absolutely undoubtedly kill what the CFL represents and I would NOT be in favour of supporting it. In fact if that happened I would no longer support the CFL. The league may have its issues but having three downs is not one of them. 

I'm never watching a down of the CFL again if this happens.
I can't see them being dumb enough to actually do this.

After some analysis.....have figured out what the 3 main sources of pro-Putin propaganda are:
Channel 1(RUS)
Rossiya-1 (RUS)
Fox News (USA)

The electric engine has never been the issue. The issue is...how is the electricity to power the engine being generated? Most of the world's electricity...still comes from fossil fuels. 

It's a s*** show. Can't believe this govt can't sort out their backroom and get some people in place. They've been in govt for 6 years now and still can't get good staff???
At least Costa Rica Brian had a crew in place. 

I think it's competence  level  deteriorated since Pallister left........Whoda think it ? Basicly  when he baled out the rest just quit trying. Which borders on criminal given the situation.

It would be nice to know what is happening. I'd like to base some decisions  on what's going on. It makes it tough to do when there is so little info.

Yeah, I smoked on the ice back in the 70's. We all did. There was an ashtray in the middle of the ice on both sides halfway down the sheet & in both houses.

As the current olympic quadrennial comes to a close, virtually every team on tour is breaking up. They'll reassemble in the fall for a new quadrennial. Couldn't care less what happens to most teams, but very curious about the Manitoba ones. Both Fleury and Jones teams have announced they're disbanding, and Einar's team will have something to say after the Worlds, I'm sure. As for the men, I can't wait for the McEwen/Carruthers experiment to finally come to and end. Not sure what'll happen next, but we need something good in this province. Koe's team announced their break up today, so I wonder if BJ Neufeld comes home again. Matt Dunstone, Colton Lott, Kyle Doering....all exceptional young Manitoba curlers who I'd love to see competing, seriously, out of Manitoba. We'll see soon....

They're not testing and no one is expected to self-isolate. Even if they did have daily briefings, there is little information they can share except death counts and ICU admissions. 
4 deaths today, BTW. 
We're are completely on our own with this horrid govt. 

We haven't had daily updates in many months.

All energy sources have their  enviromental costs , yes.  BUT  those costs  aren't equal. 
On methane from cows :  
I have pasture I rent out. I have crop land I rent out. My pasture will be green and removing CO2 from the atmosphere before seeds are in the ground on the crop ground. When my renters are cutting ripe grain in August on the crop ground my pasture will still be removing CO2 for months to come. I don't believe that was ever worked into the calculation of methane removal. AND marginal land is usually used for pastures. It saves it from being grain farmed. On the other hand there is a good argument about the amount of water cows consume and the amount of food a cow consumes to produce 1 pound of tasty beef. Can 7 billion people be sustained when we feed so much to cows and pigs.
Answers are never simple. People who produce studies will always have a point of view they wish to promote. Our age of information it  making it  increasingly difficult to ferret out what to believe.
 

Squatters break into London mansion reportedly owned by Russian oligarch
Return to menu
By Karla Adam9:46 a.m.   LONDON — Squatters early Monday broke into a mansion reportedly owned by a Russian oligarch, unfurled a Ukrainian flag and declared the property “liberated” and ready for refugees.
The home is said to belong to Oleg Deripaska, an oil tycoon and metals billionaire who the British government says is worth $2.6 billion.

Apparently the hospitals, morgues and triage stations in Belarus are overloaded with Russian casualties and fatalities. An eighty man Russian elite commando unit has refused to deploy to Ukraine and some 200 sailors in Crimea have refused to leave their barracks. 

Okay this is to idiotic to be true would be great but it gave me a chuckle
 

I think the world is certainly ready for evs for passenger vehicles. Charging stations   will eventually come . In my mind the biggest issue in weaning off fossil fuels Is food production and long distance transportation. That issue will eventually be hammered home to all consumers. 99% of what you buy has been in a truck. Everyone is in a panic when they fill their car ( it should be a car not unneeded SUVs and oversized pickups) but it will cost far more when transportation and food prices rocket. Canada because of our size and weather will be particularly hard hit. I believe we will rue the day our rail system was dismantled. 

If the world can get over the " eww factor " of the word nuclear and invest heavily into thorium salt reactors most of the issues of powering our society can be overcome. They need to be a part of a more green society.

Pinawa guy here...raised with the idea that nuclear is great. There's issues with the disposal of waste, but for the most part it's a really safe alternative. It's unfortunate that Atomic Energy Canada mostly pulled out of Manitoba in the late 90s, but "SMR's" (Small Modular Reactors) are becoming a thing now, and Pinawa has been courting a company pretty heavily over the last several years to hopefully come there and set up shop.
