  1. I thought that was automatically inferred as the term Lame Duck and Cody Fajardo have become synonymous. AS PER Webster Dictionary 1. A sporting term referring to a pass or throw with little accuracy and a lot of hang time 2. SEE: Cody Fajardo
  2. Interesting, getting paid one Toonie Tuesday at a time.
  3. I don't think BLM has worn out his welcome, and it seems pretty obvious as to why he is 2nd string. I am sure that a lot of Stamps fans still like him, and appreciate him, you just can't deny the obvious. BLM is not the same QB he used to be prior to his shoulder injury. I am sure that BLM being a ****** canoe made this transition much easier for them though...that and the fact that Maier is balling. Make no mistake, even nice guys have little sympathy shown for them when their game goes South. I would expect that if Zach ever starts tossing up lame ducks, and wobblers with regularity there will be a good number of Bomber fans all too ready to run him out of town. Such is the life of a CFL QB.
  4. Yes, it isn't social services correlation to taxation that I have a problem with. It's wasteful spending's correlation to increased taxation that bothers me. I have no issue with paying a much higher tax rate than our US counterparts for the extra services we receive. I just don't like money being thrown about willy nilly with no regard to deficits or tax rates. I think centrist parties strike a nice balance in doing this, and it is mostly why the Liberals have been in power most of the last century. I don't like when economics slip too far left, or right. These type of governments should be replaced after no more than two terms imo. Absolutely. I voted for the PCs to take over from the NDP on the promise of fixing our finances. They went way over the top though and we now need an NDP government for a term just to balance this **** out. In my perfect world the PCs and NDP would go 8 years at a time and balance each other out. When one party takes it way too far, they need to go.
  5. I am not in favor of the American model either but thanks for the info. I love our Canadian health care program, and other such programs that America does not have. That is not what I am talking about at all. I don't like government waste, never will, and this is not exclusive to any one party.
  6. Bring back Pickled Onion chips. Hostess used to make them in Canada/US and now they are just a European thing.
  7. No doubt about that. Damn app doesn't even update. I have to log off and log back in to get the latest highlights/GOD. I find Crave to be equally problematic.
  8. On some issues, certainly. I don't like tax and spend government that runs enormous deficits. I want a fiscally responsible government that provides services but value to the taxpayer. I really liked the Chretien Liberals, and I want the current Liberals to go back in that direction of government. I don't want an election run on boogeyman politics and virtue signalling by either party. It's how we have gotten the kind of weak sauce government we are currently seeing. I want an election with actual ideas and platforms that give the voter a choice on actual policy, not imagined worst case scenarios.
  9. A forensic audit will be needed to see if he got his 500 bucks this week or not. Dickenson says he will not be compensated this week, I suspect that the Riders will put in for a 500 buck lunch expense for the office and mysteriously the receipt will have been lost.
  10. I don't like the swing away from centre. Concerns me about the CPC, and it concerns me about the Liberals as well. I don't particularly care for the way politics are heading here, and in the US either. Polarization and shifting out to the extremes is not particularly helpful to anyone. I completely agree with Poilievre on some fiscal issues he is flogging, but I do not support the use of boogeyman politics by either the left or right of the political spectrum. I don't care for the "freedom" platform of Poilievre, just as I don't care for aspects of Liberal populism that have been flogged under Trudeau. I wish all parties would just get back to the business of running our country and quit virtue signalling to the extremes of their parties. I would hate to see Canada become as polarized as what is happening in the US, and I'm afraid we will head down that road if neither the CPC or Liberals step back to the middle. Whoever goes back to the middle will get my vote. Not closest to centrist politics but actual centrist politics, otherwise llke I did last election I will register a protest vote.
  11. I agree on most points about where the CPC seems to be heading, yet it appears that there must be some big time dissatisfaction with the current government as this strategy is showing tangible positive results in the polls for the CPC. Is it the social media effect? Is it an electorate simply tired of the Liberal government? A little of both? That's why I said the polls seems fascinating to me because I never expected Ontario and Quebec, in particular, to bounce to the CPC in the polls like they have since PP took over.
  12. As Trudeau has consistently done his entire tenure. What's your point?
  13. The polling after Poillievre became leader is fascinating. He seems to be pretty popular in BC, the prairies, and Ontario with all 3 published polls showing the Cons with leads in these areas, and surprisingly even Quebec where they are statistically tied now with the Liberals. What shocks me is how popular he is in the 18-35 age range. Quite a substantial jump in support there and amongst women voters as well. Momentum seems to be building behind him. Now go on and bash this factually correct post if you'd like, but I think a lot of people are underestimating Poillievre's popularity overall and not just with the alt-right.
  14. I will take an arena/stadium getting involved right from the singing of the national anthem over the crickets that are heard at Argo/Stamps/Lions etc games. Half the NFL/NHL arenas and stadiums are so sterile and the fans just there as a matter of status. Winnipeg rocks their buildings. Keep it up Peg City.
  15. How does the Jets name origins make a chant "stupider". That makes no sense. You wanna tie a nice bow around it and label this chant as some kind of implicit support of millionaire elitism and that is just a wild stretch of logic imo. It's fans having fun and seeing how loud they can be. You are way overthinking this.
  16. That's my 2nd favorite Dickie face of all, both him and his brother. The 1st favorite is the Dickie head throw back signifying defeat. Working him in slowly I would think.
  17. The worst thing was the look on her face in the morning when she saw the look on my face in the morning. lmao.
  18. Smart because most guys don't even know their CFL options are owned by someone already. Don't want them finding out before we have a chance to sweet talk them.
  19. When I was younger I had to take penicillin a few times after some bad decisions at closing time at the bar. Surely was a game changer. lmao. Whiskey goggles are a real thing.
  20. Seems like the smart play. I can't imagine the tall foreheads in the league office love it when we do it but tough **** for them.
  21. You objection is noted. There are some that share your objection, unfortunately, it seems to be something that we are going to be stuck with for some time.
  22. Could have just been coincidence but iirc last year we released our 10 on the neg list and within a couple days a couple of them were added to our PR.
