    So on the issue of the Hutterite group possibly filing a human rights complaint, I don't see the government mentioning that many of the cases can be linked back to a few colonies as discriminatory but am curious what others, especially @Mark H. thinks.

    The colonies are not seriously filing a human rights complaint...  this has to be fake news.

    It is discriminatory because it leads to stigmatization.  There are 3 Hutterite colonies with Covid 19 cases in Manitoba, but some people act like there’s 100 colonies infected.  I’ll probably only experience it online, as we have no reasons for essential travel and will be staying home.  

    Nice spin.

    Of course it’s a fact.  But in MB, for all other groups, only the health region is mentioned - that is also a plain fact.  

    They single out travellers and mention where they same from... you’re saying they shouldn’t tell people the outbreak is on colonies???  You have different rules from the rest of society why punish everyone if it’s directly related to your communal style of living?  Makes no sense

    A couple of those poor souls made 500k plus lat season...no tag day for them. A slight drop off....seriously...How many back up QBs can you even name....never mind want to start?  I guess time will tell.

    As soon as one problem gets resolved or any positive news comes out, you find a negative twist...

    Except GAAR is under ITA, which is federally regulated whereas the Minister for Manitoba (I'm assuming that's whom your referring to) is at the provincial level... seeing as how the feds have already said they wouldn't be funding, why wouldn't they go after those for-profit entities trying to bend tax rules? Especially to hide taxable income?

    There’s income in the CFL this year ha?

    Wasn't Covid parties, but it was July 1st and some pub hopping was going on. That's why it's spread around to a few locations and why it's mostly younger people.

    Kelowna is a nice place to live and, normally, a great place to visit.

    Oh Kelowna is fun and beautiful... but people are nuts there - I'm fine with that.

    Do I really have to remind you how quickly things have changed in the last 33 days?

    If you google for 12 seconds, you can find that their comments didn't...  

    And actually things haven't changed a whole lot in the last 33 days...  I was in Manitoba three weeks ago and it had already reopened

    There is a very easy solution to the Federal funding dilemma.... now that Winnipeg is the hub for 2021 CFL why could you not funnel almost ALL the expenses through the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (for an admin fee of course)...

    Winnipeg is the only community-owned corporation that does not issue share capital - its a non-profit.  This is just enough wiggle room for the feds to say 'yes' and still be within their rules and regs...

    If you listen to the Heritage Minister, he is just reciting their policy and basically telling the CFL what words NOT to put in the application...  I've had this happen before, its an easy fix - quick rewrite of the business plan.

    The way the CFL asked for funding was very ham-fisted... every other company is getting CERB wage subsidy and essentially forgiveable loans...

    Would be good to see the details of what was actually requested

    That being said, Dunk is getting pretty adept at click-bait...
