    Covid-19

    https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db328.htm cancer and heart disease kill about 500,000 each in US https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1310039401 in Canada, covid killed about the same amount of people this winter as the flu does over a year... I would suspect that rates of flu, heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s deaths will be lower as covid attacks vulnerable patients primarily
  2. Well after reading this thread, I am 100% for changing the name... this debate is ridiculous maybe not every single inuk takes offence at ‘Eskimo’ but if some do then change it... it’s just a brand on the one hand 70 years of history is used as an argument for the name while historical mistakes connected with the word are dismissed
  3. Only a few words of swampy Cree whats the cree word for ‘you eat raw meat’ - then we can decide if it sounds like Eskimo together because the Dene words don’t sound anything like it
  4. There is no ‘single native language’ - Eskimo is a derogatory term for inuks used by their mortal enemy the cree it wasn’t just randomly and accurately describing a people.
  5. No you are incorrect - plus is doesn’t even really sound like Dene words The cree word for eaters of raw meat legit sounds like Eskimo...

    Covid-19

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid19-reopening-balanced-1.5642689 finally some common sense... we flattened the curve that was the goal - to sit and hide and wait for a vaccine is crazy...
  7. It’s a derogatory Cree term that was accidentally adopted by non-indigenous - you are correct Inupiat and western arctic still use it but probably easiest just to change it was thinking huskies might work but that also actually was a derogatory name for Inuit culture and Edmonton yellow heads is hard to chant
  8. Rays mid career lull was from Edmonton’s crap OL
  9. Actually David Archer and Kent Austin should be considered on par with Dunigan as all time greats But Ray, Flutie, Allen - these are elite QBs - Allen has to be in that category because he changed quarterbacking in the CFL really
  10. I was just assuming they were all blackmailed or simply planning on turning on him at the last second and writing a book
  11. We could do a list of least favourite almost bombers... like Pac-Man Jones and who was that start QB that Taman tried to bring in and he didn’t show
  12. Which is the standard infection rate for the general population ha
  13. Winnipeg chosen as the hub city according to 3down... finally things will get moving now that the southern Ontario delusion is over
  14. Favourite bomber is still Chris Walby lots of garbage to choose from for least but I will go with Slingin Sammy Garza because he symbolizes the start of our fall from grace
  15. Eiben hands down phillion close second diamond ferri was a bastard my least favourite non-dirty bomber was... pinball Clemons
  16. They will flip just before the election and use covid and social distancing to make voting as hard as possible
  17. Trump takes things that he’s heard and exaggerated and repeats them like gospel... covid could just simply disappear - sars did just that - but to be basing your medical response on that is insane

    Covid-19

    Like six posts ago, you lectured me about using stats that were not official when I said that researchers believed cases to be 10x higher... but its fine if we report the death toll speculation?
  19. Said one Egyptian slave to the other as they hauled yet another 5000 lb rock up the ramp...
  20. I just can't wait until Roseanne removes the mask in the season finale...
  21. Lapo..?? Is that you?!!
  22. I’d be willing to bet that the delay is getting an eastern hub - all of your cities are still in covid hotspots if wpg and sask are hubs - the season is already announced... I mean you could even bus players through to Edmonton and Calgary and still not have to worry about quarantine - Vancouver is probably just a shade too far
  23. And kory sheets getting 200 yards
