  1. I have to agree with this ^^. Present the problem, see how you have to work it out, then do it. He had to get some sort of message out there, with or without the CFLPA. It’s interesting to note that MLB is only now negotiating pay structure after setting the parameters around which a season could be played. Both sides are dickering as to how much pay the players receive before whatever fans that are allowed to attend. They don’t have a plan how to do this as yet.
  2. Breaking News - Power & Politics @PnPCBC The federal government offers bridge financing for big businesses hit by COVID-19. “These companies provide jobs for millions of Canadians. Canada needs them to stay strong through this crisis,” said Finance Minister @Bill_Morneau. This is exactly what Brandon Bridge should still be in the CFL 🧐
  3. Also, There’s a belief that Regina’s Ring Road was financed by those who didn’t want to go through that place..

    It wouldn’t surprise me that the WH is counting backwards to flatten the curve.. Yes, the number is over 80,000

    Proving to be true...

    Would anyone be surprised?
  8. Perhaps egos are in evidence all over the place. Why is it only Ambrosie who gets fingered? Maybe, just maybe, the CFLPA had something to do with the un-united front. They have to get together...everybody.

  10. Boy, Randy Ambrosie sure is getting a lot of flak for his approach to asking for Federal support. A lot of it from football fans. In a time where nobody has ever seen stoppage of play because of severe health concerns. It seems like a business plan is needed. Makes sense. But really a business plan when you cannot guarantee even a percentage of gate revenue? That’s tough. And TSN revenue? Where’s that stand?And the CFLPA? Are they in, and supporting the league, or are they asking difficult questions that few can answer?I believe they last met on April 24. One of the big issues is clause in the Collective agreement.Quote:“At the heart of the impasse is interpretation of paragraph 16 of a standard CFL player's contract. It essentially states both sides agree that if the league operation is suspended at any point, all contracts become null and void making players free agents.So the question remains, could that happen if the '20 season was cancelled due to the novel coronavirus outbreak? Not surprisingly, the CFL believes the clause refers to the league folding and ceasing operations, not cancelling a campaign.”https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-cflpa-dispute-1.5544489 That’s a tough start. I don’t know who’s saying what, and who’s being more adversarial, I wasn’t there. But at that point they didn’t seem to be on the same side.I’m not taking any side, I just want to see football this year, but there are so many hurdles, including backing the League Commissioner, and helping him put together a plan. Hey, that’s like a real football team where everybody works together for a common goal.I say, enough bickering. Let’s get this done.It’s going to take a lot of work.And, by the way, do other hard pressed businesses in Canada 🇨🇦 have to go through the same hoops before they get their payout?

    Speaking of a Trump’s money... The President’s reëlection campaign has released an ad attacking Hunter Biden’s connection to a Chinese bank, but Trump has benefitted from Chinese investment, too.

  12. You’re assuming I joice in the first place.
  13. Mr Dee replied to Rich's topic in General Discussion
    I’m so totally glad to have been born in Canada 🇨🇦
  14. Mr Dee replied to Rich's topic in General Discussion
    Trump absolutely loves the word absolute. That is the power he would love to have. But, does he really even know how to spell it or pronounce it or really know what it means?
  15. D.Y.K. - that Manning had this sense of humour? pretty hilarious video with Peyton Manning

    Good for him to reveal the sheer lunacy in what’s happening in ‘merica. I hope other nations follow suit and tell it like it is.
  19. Mr Dee replied to Rich's topic in General Discussion
    Myself? I like to ig, and I like to nore, but whenever I put them both together, people don’t pay attention to me.
  20. Mr Dee replied to Rich's topic in General Discussion
    Well, you know what they say, ”where there’s smoke there’s fire” and ”where there’s Putin, there’s poutine”... Yeah, they really say that.
  21. A minor quirk rectified... We all saw that on the CFL draft day special...
  22. A big whoopsie for Mr Walker. He dropped one...
