  1. I go by what I see and what I saw was my kids recovered very quickly, in two days, from covid, while it lasted about two weeks for me. And our subsequent infections we re far less than that, barely a ripple. The virus gets weaker with each mutation, but people are free to keep injecting themselves with a vaccine for already extinct variants and read about the growing data showing adverse effects. Even Health Canada acknowledges the risk of myocarditis and bell's palsy. But each to his own. If you want it, go ahead, and if you don't want it, go ahead. I don't know why people get so angry (not you personally but many others) about people having personal choices for their health. I read about it, weighed the risk and decided to let my immune system handle it.
  2. Partially true. I do smirk at some responses because much of it is quick reflex attacks and angry spitting. What is not true is that I am troll, I honestly believe what I post but the vast majority on here throw insults and make childish replies, or simply misrepresent what I try to say. What is also true is that I only pop in every couple months, but not to 'gaslight', I am not on nearly enough for that to work haha. MBB is an echo chamber where other side thoughts are outlawed. (I don't mean by the mods, they're pretty good at what they do, I refer to the general layman's responses)
  3. Yeah no thanks on the bolded and as for the last comment, who cares what they are, I care who they are. The colour of your skin doesn't make you more or less suited for a position.
  4. For you all making fun of Alberta for standing up to Ottawa, maybe you forgot that your own government in Manitoba is inline with AB and Sask on this, in that they pledged to not have RCMP resources diverted to enforcing Trudeau's new and arbitrary gun laws. So maybe look to your own before bad-mouthing a Province who protects it's law abiding citizens. This is in regard to the nonsense handgun freeze but if you think the government of Manitoba is going to sit back and do nothing about the newest nonsense in Bill C-21, you've obviously lived your whole sheltered life in Winnipeg and suffer from perimiteritis, never having known someone who hunts. Province of Manitoba | News Releases | Provinces Oppose Federal Use of Police Resources to Confiscate Legally Acquired Firearms (gov.mb.ca) "Provinces joined together this week at the 2022 meeting of federal, provincial and territorial ministers responsible for justice and public safety to discuss the federal government’s plan to use police resources to confiscate legally acquired firearms. “Manitoba has consistently stated that many aspects of the federal approach to gun crimes unnecessarily target lawful gun owners while having little impact on criminals, who are unlikely to follow gun regulations in any event. In Manitoba’s view, any buy-back program cannot further erode our scarce provincial police resources, already suffering from large vacancy rates, and away from focusing on investigation of violent crimes,” said Manitoba Justice Minister Kelvin Goertzen. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick called on the federal government to halt plans to use scarce RCMP and municipal police resources to confiscate over 100,000 legally acquired firearms from Canadians. The Prairie provinces had already written to their RCMP divisions indicating that provincial funding should not be used for that purpose." You have to ask yourself, is it rational to possibly condemn someone to death for refusing a vaccine (that sort-of works, you still get sick) for a virus with a survival rate for most people over 99%? I've had covid at least twice, time to stop living in fear my friend, stop the dividing and tribalism that is eating away at our society.
  5. Lots of things are contagious, but we don't destroy our economy, freedom and stunt children's growth/development over them.
  6. Haha, the alt-right, that's funny. Do you still think the boogeyman lives under your bed? PP (who I'm not a big fan of) is pretty moderate fiscally, and very socially moderate. Oh no! They supported a leader you don't like? Who cares. Alberta also has (had) MLAs who support communism and failed socialist dictators. So what's your point about Alberta?
  7. Fair enough. I do see some benefits of being one's own country, apart from Ottawa. Disadvantages as well for sure. To live here in Alberta, you see first hand the damage done by destroying the main economy-driving industry. The anger is at least understandable, if sometimes delivered less-than-politely.
  8. Love that movie. Surely we can all agree on that. lol.
  9. And, being from Manitoba, I have known way too many people who have never left the province, for any reason. Hard to have an accurate take on a large population you have never been immersed in.
  10. 1...........2.................3........................4..............................5...............................6....................................7.............................................8..........................................9.....................................................10. There now, feel better? Have a snickers.
  11. Time to live with it or cower in fear every time someone gets the sniffles. The sick die all the time, I'm not being callous, it's just truth. If you're at-risk of anything, you protect yourself when you can. I have a type-1 diabetic friend, he's a higher risk than your average person, plus he has lung issues, doesn't stop him from living and doesn't live behind a mask. "Get busy living or get busy dying."
  12. Both my brother and I were saying "go for the Rouge to tie for now, he won't make the kick." Proof as to why none of us are qualified to coach a professional ball club hahaha. That go-ahead LDC kick was amazing.
  13. It was great to see that Marino got cut. He doesn't deserve to play pro ball.
  14. Hey mods, look at me, I just disparaged 1,000,000 Albertans by saying they're dumber than rocks. why can't people discuss if they want? Doing so in a calm manner is sane political discourse. You don't get to decide what people can and cannot discuss. There's a word for people who shout down political opinions they don't like, do you know what it is?
  15. Yet somehow here in Alberta the leading cause of death is now "unknown", 3,362 compared to 1,950 for covid. It gets very little press, but is a worrisome number. It has now beat out dementia, which has lead the list since 2016. They have no idea why people are dying for unknown reasons at a climbing rate, could be a number of factors. Covid is just something we have to live with. My two month old had it, didn't worry me for a second, he was sick for two days. My other two had it as well, better in 2-3 days. Kids are super resilient and the idea of shooting them full of covid shots is abhorrent to me. Alberta sees spike in deaths with unknown causes in 2021 | CTV News As it should be, all they do is restrict your airflow. Probably 1% of people are wearing them out here. How many are wearing them in Winnipeg?
  16. If anything, you WANT media to be against the Bombers. More flak, means more drive. Trust me, as a Patriots fan, you don't want to go undefeated.
  17. Naw, 7 FGs, two singles and a kneel safety early. lol They'll make the FGs, there's no Wideleft person over there. 😇
  18. Fair enough, a classic place, but I have to respectfully disagree. I'm all about the Rice Krispie Cake creation (blizzard type-thing) they have at SS.
  19. Should be a good one again. It's always difficult to beat someone twice in a row. We gotta lose sometime but I don't think it will be tonight. Bombers 33 Alouettes 25
  20. I'm not trying to stir any pot, but the numbers don't lie. That doesn't mean everyone can't get it, they're just the general numbers. The information is important so that those who are at a higher than average risk can protect themselves. These links are MSN and CNN, not some lunatic fringe crazy person, or FOX or Rebel News. https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/tripideas/monkeypox-surges-in-nyc-and-new-data-reveals-the-gay-men-most-at-risk/ar-AAZzCrm https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/05/health/monkeypox-gay-men/index.html
  21. Meh, awards don't bother me, we won the Cup, nothing else matters. Plus, Harris' moment after we won was made even better because of the hate. He was hilarious after we won. That on-the-field interview and his game awards speech were instant classics. It's better for this team to get flak in the media, keeps them fired up, something to prove.
  22. I saw a few people wearing them at the game in Calgary, they looked nice, not sure I'd buy one but they looked ok. Seems like every Bailey catch is a tough one, he is a beast. He has been overshadowed this year by the emergence of Shoen, but has been heating up lately. He will be key should we get more injuries.
