If Trump wins again then I will really lose faith in the USA.

Nik Nanos suggests it is both according to his polling. Support is down, and confirmed Liberal support appears soft. I would think that Trudeau will begin ramping up some wedge issues soon. Can't say I blame anyone for being pretty uninspired by the choices out there. Voter apathy is a natural part of democracy. The party that best taps into the disenchanted/disillusioned and gets them out to vote while keeping their base will win.

You may be right and I am certainly not suggesting that Poilievre is perfect by any means. Meant to point out just how disappointed people are with the Liberals by contrasting it with the latest polls. When Poilievre is the people's choice right now that speaks volumes about how Canadians feel Trudeau is doing. Singh...I don't understand that at all either. Not sure what to make of it. Pretty small sample size then. The House of Commons voted in favor of a public inquiry by a pretty large margin. The Liberals are members of that same house, and while it wasn't a confidence motion, the will of the house should be respected. I think that any party that thinks they can operate without the support of the house should be removed.

It is what most of the Liberal interviewees have said. The House of Commons majority does not agree. Even the Liberals best friends, the NDP, want an inquiry. It is extremely undemocratic of the Liberals to continually ignore the wishes of a House majority. Huberus. We shall see. Liberals continue to slide in the polls. Right now the CPC holds a significant lead in the polls, power index, and preferred leader for Prime Minister according to Nik Nanos today. You guys can mock Poilievre but he is preferred by more Canadians than Trudeau and that is terrible news for the Liberals and very importantly the power index now favors the CPC and the Liberals PI has plummeted.

I don't mind push back if it is respectful. When it is childish and immature it is annoying.

I'm not sure how, that's why we need a very open and far reaching conversation about it as a country.

Typical non-sensical rebuttal by you. The adults here, will continue to talk amongst themselves, your childishness can go take a short walk off a long pier. The "adults in the PPC, NDP, BQ do not seem to be as enlightened as you are on the matter as they voted for an inquiry. Maybe you should call them all childish too.

I am a very firm believer in the Whistleblower Act, or any public servant coming forth with information when it involved threats to national security. Liberals are just mad because this time it burned them. Probably....and we need to snuff it out openly and publically.

Exactly....and it should be done with full transparency so that there is trust in the system. Same could be said about Trudeau and his hand choosing of which fat cats he gives cash for favors. No doubt. Now we need an open, honest, and bipartisan inquiry into this so that the public can follow along, and to raise awareness of how/when/why/ and where it is being done so that we can snuff it out. If it embarrasses one party more than the other, than that is their cross to bear.

That would be my guess. I think the Bombers draft strategy right now is BPA, and they don't feel that will be an OL when our turn comes. We really have no room on the roster for a high OL draft pick right now. Greaves, Eric Wilson are other examples.

You don't know what proof was presented to the media by the whistleblower. The media outlet felt that the burden of proof was enough to protect them from being successfully sued. Let's have an inquiry and find out. It is what the vast majority of Canadians, and MPs want. Trudeau is making it look like he has something to hide. Pollievre has a scandal. Trudeau is playing right into his hands by hiding the facts.

Dane Evans is thankful you didn't. lol

It can happen but it is very rare. Kongbo was the exception not the rule. Most teams will not entertain the idea. Might see more of it now with the spring leagues in order to get these guys signed though.

We picked Dobson 3rd overall (that is the very definition of a high draft pick) and yes I am going to ignore the list of players released to go to the NFL because that list is very small and it is pretty rare actually. CFL draft picks have no NFL window for the first two years of their contract, that means NFL teams are not even allowed to talk to them. Are you even going to look things up before calling someone's info inaccurate?

I was just reading the Globe and Mail and it says even if Dong did meet and suggest this that it is not criminal. It is just morally reprehensible. However, if it were later proven he had ties to the CCP and was their puppet, that would be treason. Let's have an inquiry and find out.

I agree. The whole meeting with dignitaries thing is certainly allowed. If he asked the Chinese government to delay their release...that is treason. Let's have an inquiry on the whole thing and find out. You don't know if there is no evidence. You cannot state that because the PM refuses to let the public know what evidence or non-evidence there is. Simple as that. It is your OPINION that there is no evidence but that is purely based on good faith. There may be evidence. Let's have an inquiry and find out. Very serious allegations are being made in the media, not just the right wing media either, and it's time the public got to see the basis for these allegations in full. If it is baseless great, if not...we need to know. Polls are saying that 70% of Canadians want an inquiry. What is this prime minister trying to hide?

I disagree. In the CFL you are locked in for 2 years without NFL option. In the spring leagues you can play well and be signed in the NFL at any point of your contract. NFL likes to sign players when they are young. The XFL and USFL are better choices for many high draft picks who just need some pro film to gain NFL interest. OL, in particular, are always in high demand in the NFL and NFL teams are more willing to groom them over time if they are young. Sitting for 2 years in the CFL does not help that.

There was election interference. That is not conjecture. There should be an inquiry because transparency is needed. Just because a CSIS employee breached their oath does not change that FACT.

I feel like they aren't pencilling him in there, but he will likely win the job because he is a beast.

If our coaches feel this is his best route than I fully support it. We have seen a good number of success stories in the CFL of guys flipping sides and yea...your logic is solid as to why. It's all about upside and a too a big degree a player's stated willingness to sit on the PR through development. It really doesn't make a whole lot of sense for us to take a high round OL right now as that's where we would have to put them. Realistically moving Adamson isn't about this year at all. It's a futures move for down the road when Neufeld retires or possibly Adamson shows something at OT....who knows. At the end of the day, the Bombers feel Adamson would be unlikely to make our squad as a DT, this gives him a chance to possibly catch on in a different role.

We likely won't see because Trudeau refuses to call a public inquiry. The question marks will remain. This could very well be much ado about nothing but the PMs response to all of it has been bizarre.

I won't dispute any of that. However, during the election cycle Doer sang a much different tune and Manitobans voted for it. What you do between elections can be explained away with a good spin doctor.

I am a full blooded native man with treaty status. FULL STOP. I do not like violence against women. Many of my family, friends, and associates of native bloodline feel the same way. I am sure that his race has a lot to do with many people's perception of him for sure. However, it is ridiculous to suggest that it is the underlying motivator when discussing his past indiscretions. Violence against women is heinous. Are there racists in Manitoba? Yea...I see it and live it everyday man and that sucks for Kinew as well but don't try to play the race card as a reason a lot of people are unwilling to dismiss his past. He has to wear it as he has never adequately been able to convince many of his innocence. Whataboutism is weak as well. Undoubtedly many people will not vote for him solely on the reason of race. Sad but true. Others will object to him based on the nature of his past indiscretions. It is up to Kinew to make believers out of the latter, and so far he has not been very convincing.

He has a past that makes it hard to trust him for many people. He comes off as cocky as well. I agree that he is definitely holding them back. The NDP should be 20 points up in the polls right now. Also the party itself has not said anything of substance as to how they would govern and people really despised the last NDP government. Polls could move a lot if they would just come out and promise no tax increases, and they would govern like Doer did as a more centrist government. Manitoba likes left leaning governments but only slightly left, Manitobans voted in Pallister back to back with massive majorities each time on the promise of economic restraint, balanced budgets, and elimination of big government. The NDP can take a softer tact to that but simply cannot be too far left of centre or they will scare away those that are disenfranchised with Stefanson's PCs. At the end of the day, we've plugged our noses and voted against that style of government over and over again. That's the reality Kinew faces right now if he wants a majority government. The NDP's path to victory is to commit to health care, while running a balanced or near balanced budget, with a continued commitment to cutting red tape, while not being overly cozy with the unions. It's not as easy as it seems for him. He will have to break ranks with some of the old guard in his party just as Doer did.

Shows just how crappy a lot of Manitobans think both parties are really. Everyone hates this PC government but obviously don't fully trust the NDP either.
