    On the bright side, Monday's just got a little more tolerable.

    Always bad to see media shrink. I used to read the Sun a lot. Great sports coverage.  They covered pro wrestling too.  A lot. We were very fortunate but a few of their people were committed to community coverage.

    There are a lot of good cops out there, the majority,, in fact, but damned few are willing to speak out.

    I agree. There is.  I won’t signal boost posts that say all cops are bastards or whatever.   But there are bad cops. And good cops who let bad cops get away with it. And some good cops who do try.  But the “brotherhood” is all about not ratting and you get screwed if you do.  The unions are all about protecting bad cops.  If I was a good cop I’d be outraged that my union protects bad cops.  They should be equal partners in wanting to weed out the bad.  That’s why it will take justice reform and not just a “ok we promise to be better”.

    I watched the live stream, clearly most people did not follow the social distancing. I'm curious to see if the numbers go up. 

    I assume everyone who went needs to quarantine for 14 days?

    Yeah I mean I get what you’re saying. The vast majority of people were wearing masks.

    I believe the agreement reached with some negotiating units was reported as 5 unpaid days off this fiscal year. 

    Thats a pretty easy thing to accept if it were between that and losing my job.  

    Now that the feds are providing about $500 million to Manitoba, they cancel the layoffs.  Yeah right.

    Hydro Should be flush with cash.  Ndp mismanaged it for years.  But the province should guarantee those jobs at this time.  If you want to reduce, that’s fine.  Offer incentive packages and early retirement.  Pretty crappy thing to do.  
     

    Id like to know what was offered that the unions turned down.  I know from a friend who works there that hydro wanted them to take a temporary wage decrease but they did not want that feeling government would try to keep it.  She also told me a filmon Friday would have been fine with her.

    Maybe he should talk to his white supremacist buddies and ask them to stop then. 
     

    Speaking of stopping this forum is more peaceful recently.  Have certain people chosen to go away or been sent away?  Either way it’s a welcome change.  I can’t imagine people blowing trump in these threads right now.

    Interesting.  I like SVU and I loved the original L&O.  My dream scenario is they bring back Chris Noth.  I only watched Criminal Intent for his episodes.  

    Streaming has made a lot of these shows possible, especially franchises where ratings are as important as having lots of content to drive subscriptions.  CBS's strategy for Star Trek being another example.
