I suppose Winnipeg is much smaller but it is hardly vastly inferior. Vancouver has some good things going for it to be sure, but so does Winnipeg.

Acutally the rest of country does not disagree with them as they have lost the popular vote in consecutive elections. What does not agree with them is the efficiency of their votes. What do Liberals? What does any politician or party?

Spoken like a true Liberal who cannot listen to an opposing viewpoint without name calling and resorting to misrepresent all who oppose their viewpoints.

Totally agree. The biggest problem is that some sectors are seeing up to 20% inflation rate and it's not the little sections of the economy, they are the bread and butter kitchen table bills that people struggle with, Gas has risen over 30%, housing is experiencing almost 20%. Both of these are completely within the scope of the federal government to address Some of our inflation is a world issue, some is even supply issues, but it is Liberal propaganda to suggest that our country is powerless against inflation in all sectors. Just the Liberals trying to avoid talking about the economy.

Someone will have their votes...sunny days and sunny ways brought them on board to the Liberal train for awhile but now these same people are angry because they can't afford a house.

For sure...agree on all points. Such is life in the CFL, a team only consistently wins when their starting QB is healthy.

I think you are vastly underestimating how much oligarch money is laundered in the USA.

You're right...It's Justinflation.

You underestimate politician's ability to rile up the public with talking points. Neither the left or the right has won an election on the facts in 50 years. Who controls the election agenda wins. Fact....lmao...it's agendas and promises that win/lose elections. You can say inflation is garbage but tell that to Joe Blow in Sudbury who can't afford gas for his truck. He don't give a rats ass about facts, he's just pissed off and looking to vent his anger. You really think Trudeau can win an election if it is fought on the economy...lol. He can't string two sentences together about the economy without it becoming a meme.

US sanctions will destabilize Russia greatly. Europe needs to follow suit as well but by far and away the most crippling sanctions need to come, and can only come, from the USA.

Maybe so, and maybe one of these guys breaks through and we can beef up elsewhere, but I think Walters probably has an in season war chest available for a few positions in case things don't work out as planned or someone too good to pass up becomes available at the right price. I mean we didn't sign Mitchell until a month or two after FA began last year and Walters had told us he was broke iirc.

When gas hits nearly 2 bucks a litre later this week, things are going to get real for the Liberals. The next election won't be fought on the agenda of the left like the past 3 have. A large part of the population are at, or are nearing, their financial breaking point. That's the reality. Hyperinflation, taxation, housing prices, cost of living, these are going to be the platform of interest in the next election imo.

Stove was a guy on the way up we couldn't afford anymore. I don't hold it against him for going and taking BC's big bucks. Best of luck. He was a pure effort guy but our DL is so stacked we realistically can't afford a top DT salary.

Bryant is on my wish list as well. I just think we are not done at receiver yet, and neither is Walters. Last year with our full receiving complement coming back, including Lawler, he went out and signed Mitchell because he saw upgrading receiver as a priority. I can't see it being less of one now. Granted dollars are tight, but maybe he has set an amount aside for it. Probably wishful thinking, but here's hoping. It's probably far more likely that we wait until some NFL returnees are cut adrift in August though.

I don't see Prukop as any worse than LeFevour or McGuire. It would be great if a new QB came in and surprised a la Streveler in 2018.

Severe and crippling economic sanctions need to be levied. We shall see if Biden has the stones.

Depends on position. I would think a receiver could bounce back quickly. He signed with us last year for 85k before retiring albeit that was the prorated amount. Not sure why he would demand almost triple now?

Matt Nichols went from 3rd string cut adrift to starter among the league leaders. Steven Jyles, albeit a brief stop here, went from 3rd string to leagues best passing rating under Lapo and then quickly regressed after leaving. Hell, even Collaros who had lost his job and was twice traded found his game in Lapo's offence. I get that Lapo's offence is boring and not much fun to watch but I completely disagree that a QB can't flourish in it. In fact, i would suggest it is a perfect system for some QBs to hide their deficiencies in.

I think it was us that told him that or Ottawa since we run almost the same offence. In our offence receivers must be good blockers for the run game and our short passing game.

That could be said about a lot of successful OC's. In the past 10 years, only 2 teams have won Grey Cups with a QB developed by their club. Lapolice is one of the two OCs in the past 10 years that can say that. I get that you hate him, but let it go, he is Ottawa's problem now and you are really starting to reach.

Rod Pederson has said numerous times on his podcast that there were a tons of opinions and criticisms he had that had to remain behind closed doors, because CKRM was pro-Riders in all and every comment.

I agree. When you sign on as CKRM's pbp guy there is a Rider bootlicker behavioral clause built in. Taylor would have much more freedom to present non-biased coverage with CJOB and I suspect, if he comes here, that was a big factor.

Making the roster doesn't necessarily mean anything to that contract. Be invisible the first 2-3 games and you might be cut. Without a big portion of salary already paid out at risk a 300k has to make the roster and immediately produce his worth in game cheques.

His play went beyond his stats, but yea, i am not sure he's a starter.

I wish that ball did NOT hit the uprights as it almost certainly was going to be intercepted. I hate that people think it was an act of god. Our DB had undercut that route, Even if he gets it under the bar, we still knock it down and over the bar is for sure an interception. He telegraphed that throw imo. Not to mention it was the exact same route as the previous play, The only thing hitting the bar did was take away the remote chance that they might get a pass interference call. Everyone figured out that reverse pivot in late 2019 and his play has been average ever since.
