Well my point was that while the nurse made a great point, the situations aren't exactly the same. However to your point, I'm in favour of seeing more money spent on mental health services, even if it means decreasing the police budget. I think there are cases where the social worker/health expert would be better than a police officer. In other cases, you need the police officer. So I'm not in favour of eliminating the police force, which some who are calling for defunding seem to be doing, but I am in favour of reallocating some of that money/changing how we do things (which depending on who you read might mean I am in favour of defunding. Still educating myself on that one).

This is true but when an ER Nurse has a person in one of these categories in a threatening state, they call for and get security. Anecdotally, I have been in the ER with a family member suffering from a mental illness, when that family member started screaming, yelling and becoming aggressive, security was called.

Hockey wouldn't work well through the summer, in your key markets (well many key markets), people want to go to the lake, go fishing, hunting etc.

The U of Mississippi's nickname is the Rebels. They're named after all of the students who dropped out of the U of Miss in 1861 to fight for the confederacy. How the hell do you keep that name in 2020?

I agree that protesting racism and protesting wanting to go back to the old normal are very different. I agree that advocating for change to bring about more tolerance and acceptance to society are important. However do you not see how people may get frustrated when they were told and continue to be told to stay home, social distance, don't see friends, you can't visit sick relatives or friends, you can't attend a worship service, you can't go to the gym, you may have lost your job but its ok for people to gather in large numbers for these rallies? I support the rallies, I am trying to educate myself but I still feel its a little like two sets of rules. If its ok to open things up for rallies, why not other things? Or is it a case of the risk is acceptable in this case because its for a needed change to society?

Hopefully TSN doesn't increase the amount of work Rod Black does. I hear Dave "Sticky" Staala and Sam "The Specimen" Gigurre are still both in hiding and therapy.

TSN is delusional if they consider Suitor to be a competent analyst.

So if politicians can attend rallies like the ones yesterday, why can't they meet? Looking at Pallister and Trudeau.

Kevin Harlan does PBP for both basketball and football and is great at both.

I feel bad for the good cops and there are some good cops out there.

HELL NO to Rod Pederson! Noeller, you need some form of punishment for suggesting that.

That sucks for the CFL. Please hire somebody to replace Rod Black and Glen "Let me fawn over a Country Music Star like a 12 year old fangirl during the Grey Cup" Suitor.

Durant and his selfish choices allowed for the emergence of Strevler and allowed us the cash to sign Bighill. All in all, he helped contribute to our Cup win. Still a tool though.

I'm someone who has generally leaned right and I'm not a fan of either Scheer, any of the current federal Conservative leadership candidates or Pallister and his government.- Black Lives Matter
If the Democrats win in the fall, count on it.- 2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
So I was just reading an article on TheAthletic and found out former Bombers running back Deland McCullough is a coach with the KC Chiefs.- Covid-19
Manitoba's numbers are quite remarkable, 294 cases out of 42,306 tests means only 0.7% of those tested had Covid. Especially since national, its roughly 5.5%.- Black Lives Matter
I think he would. He did an SNL skit about this, funny as heck. His VP choice was Tom Hanks. Best line from the Rock, "Everybody thinks I'm whatever they are."- 2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
Which Bomber do you think would be best in a Wayne and Shuster skit? If you were recasting Miami Vice, which Bombers would you use? Do any of the american Bomber players have a favourite Canadian TV show?- 2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
We signed Crockett but no Tubbs?- 2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
You were'nt a booster of Wayne and Shuster?- Covid-19
I am in favour of the idea, although I am fortunate and have sick days with my job. Nice play by the NDP and Trudeau. For the NDP, you leveraged the minority to push for something you want. For Trudeau, you agree but its a provincial area so you either get the provinces to agree and you're a hero or you push it and they don't and they take the blame.- 2019-20 CFL Offseason
