To comment on us not making upgrades after blowing out the Riders...
Walter's has shown willingness in the past to upgrade the roster at the trade deadline if he deems fit. Last year I believe he went after Lawler and would have had him barring injury.
I think Walter's knows what's best for this team, and he'll make a move if he deems necessary
In Walter's we trust..

The intent is the issue though. It’s so far out of the play that the contact is not part of the game.
Marino’s hits were illegal within the context of the game. This was beyond that.
I think Robertson is getting some benefit of the doubt for a mild history on illegal hits.
Yeah, you guys are right. The action itself doesn't look too bad but you all are right. It's way after the play

Sorry buddy, didn't mean to offend you

I'm going to be looked at unfavorably for this, but despite the intent and stupid mistake, it didn't look that bad on the TV.
Now I don't know if it was worse than it looked, Zach certainly seemed pissed which means it was a pretty forceful headbutt.
Anyway, I think the one game was the appropriate suspension. I don't think it was as bad as last years Marino play

Anyone heard of the "super group" called the company band? The singer from clutch and musicians from cky I think?
Maybe bam margeras brother. Anyway it's out of my wheel house a bit, but I'm found myself digging the really dirty, almost blusey rock song.

Man seeing Rourke potentially end up on a practice squad 🙄 total bummer
Kids a number 2 in that league. Sucks to see him end up on a pr instead of playing in canada. Hopefully that's not the case and he's picked up

Honestly they could end the war pretty quickly if they wanted to... Nato could put a boot so far up putins ass they'd knock his teeth out, but they don't want to so instead we get a proxy war. But trying to appease dictators doesn't work. It just enables them.
Good point.

you can read the treaty here. It is not long.https://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/UNTS/Volume 3007/Part/volume-3007-I-52241.pdf
Also….
“At the time of Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine held the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world, including an estimated 1,900 strategic warheads, 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and 44 strategic bombers. By 1996, Ukraine had returned all of its nuclear warheads to Russia in exchange for economic aid and security assurances, and in December 1994, Ukraine became a non-nuclear weapon state-party to the 1968 nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). The last strategic nuclear delivery vehicle in Ukraine was eliminated in 2001 under the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). It took years of political maneuvering and diplomatic work.”
What is your point? I already recognize that Russia has violated the terms of several agreements and treaties. I'm telling you I want people to stop getting killed. Tired of innocent 20 year Olds getting shipped off to die.
Whats the end game here? How long will this war go on? How many people have to die? It's easy to say continue on no matter what, when you don't have a gun in your hand and your home hasn't been blown up.
Has anyone in this group ever even visited Ukraine?

God where do you get your talking points? It's a greatest hits of right wing gobbledygook to try and confuse people into supporting their poor positions. Let me guess, it's not guns it's mental health right?
No, it's guns. Lol. I love canadas gun laws. No need for weapons at all
And to further that -- the Bush administration might be the biggest culprits of all in growing the military industrial industry into gigantic business. So you call me right winged --? Yet I'm a Bernie Sanders traditional lefty. I just don't recognize that party anymore

You are very much in the minority in your opinions regarding the Russian attacks on Ukraine. Appeasement does not guarantee peace- Esst Germany is an example of a puppet government following Russian dictates with thousands of Germans killed and/or imprisoned. Trump has been a Russian asset for a couple of decades and if he was sane, he would have said the way to instantly stop the killings in Ukraine is for the Russians to simply leave. If your logic about the US "owning" Ukraine if the Russians leave was sound, that would have happened in Romania, Chechia, Bulgaria, Poland and so forth, BUT IT HAS NOT!
Ultimately, I too, just want people to stop dying. I don't want my grandparents friends and former neighbour's to be killed. I am in the minority in my belief but not alone. Many ukranians want to see an end to the war and a territorial compromise. Don't get it confused though, I don't believe Russia has any right to the land. I just want innocent civilians, and young men and women to stop dying. Both Russian and Ukranian.
Many ukranians also on the other hand, carry an immense amount of pride and would rather be killed than share land with the Russians. It is a very complex web.
There is a lot to unpack with this war, and political and financial motive certainly play a part in it. I am greatful for the American and Canadian populations support, as I believe the masses have really shown up for the ukranian people. You may view me as a constant skeptic, but when there's 140 billion dollars of military weapons someone's profiting and isn't looking for the war to end, or for people to stop dying. Don't quote me on this but black rock and other American banks have already sunk their teeth into the revitalization of Ukraine. For personal gain.
On the other other side of this, what about the American and Canadian people? The Americans are struggling to get by. In Hawaii I saw the government supplied 700 dollars to each person for aid. 700 bucks lol. 140 billion to fight wars, and 14 million for Hawaii.
For now Putin is the enemy, but who's next. The USA has been at war since the becoming of its existence. I should be fact checked on that but I *think* literally since its inception

We tried this in Canada only to be reversed by the next gov't of the day.
It's disgusting and shameful. And we wonder why people are skeptics of the government. I've had to walk back my thoughts on covid quite a bit-- and thats fine.
But what frightened me, and I'm sure others is the facts that I listed previously. 2/3 of congress taking financial contributions from pharmaceuticals. The record profits these companies made. It's hard not to feel the same about the military industrial complex. Somebody's making these weapons, and somebody's getting rich off them. Necessary? That may be.
But was it necessary in, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Venezuela, Libya, etc etc etc. All in the name of "freedom"
If there is profit involved it's hard to get behind the government. The western people, Canada included are so busy fighting for their party or their person that we don't even consider the basic flaws in our democracy. Money out of politics? No ******* Brainer. Politicians shouldn't be allowed to make stock exchange trades? No ******* Brainer.
I understand that the democrats are the better party. Bernie Sanders one of my favorite politicians is part of it. But when we universally agree that corporate runs government, why would people care?
It's like saying, dad beats me up so I'm going to stay with mom because she just steals from me

If you don't hold politicians accountable they will never change, which us why they push the both sides crap.
Also, Ukraine is in a war because of Russia. Russia invaded a sovereign country. Not the USA, not Nato, Russia. Trumps idea of ending the war is capitulation to an aggressor nation. He was impeached over that in fact.
Then why haven't we held Pelosi or McConnell accountable. Why have we not as a democracy decided that single handedly the most important law we need passed regarding elections is to take the money out. No campaign donations over 100 dollars. Why is this not discussed at all by the politicians.
It should all start right there. No more campaign donations in exchange for back room favours. This is an obvious and logical change. Why are we not livid about that?

YES! Because if you shrug it off as both sides are bad it just enables them to be shitty and keep pushing the boundaries of their shittiness. A republican president tried to overthrow democracy! This isn't both sides, this is one side is a bunch of capitalist neoliberals, the other side is a group of fascists who see Russian dictatorship propped up by oligarchs as a swell idea.
But both sides amirite?
I mean sure your right in principal. You're right in the short term. But an overhaul change is required regardless. Corrupt is still corrupt though. We shouldn't roll over and die because ones less corrupt than the other
I am a second generation ukranian here in Canada. I feel bad for my people because when the war comes to an end the usa will own our beautiful country. Yes, again, the lesser of two evils and necessary But talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Trump was blasted in his cnn town hall for saying he " wanted people to stop dying ". Man, take away whos saying that and he's right. Ukraine is caught in a war between USA and Russia .

So you're good with a candidate who has argued that vaccines cause autism, antidepressants lead to school shootings, that chemicals in water sources led to transgendered identity? How about that wifi causes cancer? What about aids not being caused by HIV?
Noted-- I wasn't aware of the long list. I listened to him on a couple of podcasts and interviews and he struck me as articulate and good intentioned. That's too bad
1 hour ago, 17to85 said:Jesus christ, it's not unwavering support for Biden, is debunking the myth that both sides are the same. Corporations buy governments? Yup 100%. But the Republicans are also trying to outright overthrow democracy which the democrats aren't.
I guess my point is why exactly do we obsess over who's better and who's worse when they are both ****** awful. The Republicans more awful than the democrats but is THAT really where our attention should be focused?
We live in corruption. That should be the focus. A two party system to represent 365 million people is unacceptable. When the two leading candidates of their parties won't have debates against their rivals... what kind of democracy is that?
Everytime their is a crisis -- the wealthiest people profit and the lower and middle class suffer. Bank it.
The USA funded pfiezer to create the vaccine ..pfiezer made 1000 every second from the covid vaccine. 100 billion dollars in profit in 2022
Germans funded Ntech. When it came to the profits, the companies took the profits. Where's the kickback to the tax payers?
Two thirds of congress accepted campaign funding from the pharmaceutical industry.

And there it is.
Ha. Because you can't put him in a box? Discusses his previous drug addictions and talks to people like human beings instead of robots? Is interested in providing social programs and focusing less on being world police and more on making his country better?
God, you guys are so predictable. What exactly do you know about him? He has a difference in view of you than covid. What else?
It's equally frightening for me in your unwavering support of Biden. Imagine the restraint I show without backhanded remarks
And yet nobody denies that the politicians are involved in insider trading, that the government is run by corporations and politicians take kick backs from the laws they pass. The thought that gains a response from you is that rfk would be an interesting candidate. That's what concerns you. Corruptions everywhere. Heard mentality.People have no sense of critical thinking anymore
For you guys it's cnn, for the right wings it's fox news.
Rfk absolutely seems like a possible option if biden and trump are the standard. Pretty low bar, man

All Presidents for the last many decades have been puppets on stage being controlled by big business and others. Biden is just more comical because he comes off inept and senile and his legacy sadly will be him falling down stairs and falling asleep and being awkward with kids.
All of them are corrupt, Dems / Reps / Tories / Liberals / NDP etc.... It would be naive to think that any of them are running with no skeletons in the closet.
Sanders would have been an interesting choice. I thought he was a revolutionary until he let the dnc **** him over and accepted a job with the same party that screwed him
RFK would be an interesting leader that I could get behind.

No they are not and that is proven time and time again. Repeating this crap only serves to try and overlook the crap that republicans get away with.
Seriously there is nothing with Biden. If there was republicans would have found it already. They've been digging forever. They started digging on Bill Clinton the same way too. Eventually they found out he got a hummer in the oval office (which happened after they started looking for dirt on him) and grabbed onto that. Somehow I doubt that Joe Biden is gonna get an intern to to do that though so they're left trying to drag his son, a private citizen into all this for some reason.
The dude smoking Crack driving down the interstate with a hooked, videoing it. Not a great idea private citizen or not.
Your probably right there is nothing on Biden. Accept for the fact he gets lost reading the teleprompter, falls asleep in meetings, has his questions pre received on que cards to answer questions, shakes hands with the air, makes off the cuff comments that are atleast accidently racist.
I can't fathom imagining Biden is actually running anything. They just plop him up on stage.
Call me a conspiracy theorist all you want, but until money is taken out of politics I believe America is run by corporate entities. When you have companies pledging exuberant amounts of cash it isn't out of the goodness of their hearts. Both the democrats and Republicans do this. Obama killed many many innocent civilians in the name of freedom. Was it justified? I'm not sure--- it's above my understanding
America has absolutely destroyed many many countries in the name of freedom. Freedom? I think not. Corporate greed and oil money . Dems and republicans

All of the allegations about Hunter and Joe Biden accepting illicit money allegations have been repeated ad nauseum for several years without a shred of proof- only innuendo. The only "evidence" is constant references to an "investigation" by the FBI which is because a Republican sent a letter two years ago to the FBI asking for an investigation without any specific details as to the "crime". The FBI did not act on it and the GOP has taken that as a confirmation of bias.
Their is transcripts of hunter on the phone to make the payment if he wants to talk to the "big man" though, right? Maybe not direct evidence but I think it would be foolish to believe nothing funny has happened in the past. Look at Nancy Pelosi, and almost every politician in the USA should be charged for insider trading. Just because there's nothing hard to prove its happening doesn't make it untrue.
The left wing parties used to be anti military industrial complex, not sure whats going on there but which ever party is in power they seem to love going to war.
When you have a military undustrial complex that profits off of war, you have war
When you have a health care system that profits off of sickness, you have sickness
When you have energy companies profiting off of crisis, you have crisis.
When we live in a society that breed profitability off of chaos, we live in a perpetual state of chaos.
if anybody is skeptical of the democratic party at all on here they are laughed away. The truth is the democrats are just as corrupt as the republicans. Too much tribalism and not enough things are taken on a case by case basis. Just my humble opinion
Regardless, the democrats need a new leader. Biden can't function properly and anybody who says otherwise has their head in the sand. Terrifying that either him or trump are the leaders of the free world. Baffles me in a country of 360 million people this is the best they can come up with

Bro, nobody, except perhaps Chad, thinks we'll go undefeated.
I'm not even sure we'll be 1-0 this week. Sure, on paper we ought to murder these Stampeders... But check what our recent record is in Calgary. It's worse than abysmal.
I was just in response to some of the conversations in this thread. No idea how argo "fan" feels
Also, its tired making the single argo fan jokes. I wish you guys would get some support over there

Havent been able to keep up on here much lately, but did some catching up. Some people think the argos might go undefeated? Sheesh. Kellys played like 7 games. Kids good but hes not nearly as good as rourke was. Nevermind him going down with injury. Hes going to have some bad games
