    O’Shea said he would have challenged it but could not get a good look at it on any replays.

    It seems like at home games O'Shea relies heavily (and almost exclusively) on the scoreboard replays when deciding if he should challenge a play, but for whatever reason they're sometimes very slow to show those. Doesn't the team have someone in the booth going over replays and/or someone on the sideline with access to them on an iPad?

    I don't think many critiques of her or her party are based on gender, but this party royally stinks. A lot of significant roles in the party are filled by horrid politicians. This government seems like a satire:

    • Minister of Indigenous Reconciliation and Northern Relations immediately comes to the defense of residential schools upon his appointment.
    • Former Health Minster Friesen attacking doctors saying they are attempting to create chaos by warning that measures should be taken to prevent waves of Covid.
    • Former Education Minister (Goertzen) participates in webinar advocating for home school while education minister "Education isn't simply a state activity — maybe shouldn't even be primarily a state activity,"
    • Current health minister belongs to a church that has routinely publicly disobeyed public health orders, sued the government over health orders and Audrey Gordon herself was caught numerous times in violation of health orders.

    It almost feels like they are intentionally mocking Manitobans sometimes. At the very least don't put people in charge of the very roles they obviously are completely unsuited for. This includes the current premier who was abysmal as the health minister during the worst wave of Covid and failed her way up to leader of the province.

    I would love to see a summary/list of the apologies that this government has issued over the past year or so. For some reason I think it would be at least eight, so that's eight times where they spoke before they thought.

    Lawler took a shot at Winnipeg saying he likes Edmonton because it's "more scenic" & it's a lot bigger. There's more to do, he says. I'd think that since our teams made him who he is & the fans loved him here that he could have kept his mouth shut & not make going to Edmonton a personal thing. Any outsider who says negative things about My City is fighting words. 

    So Lawler is praising the city where a team is paying him a ridiculous amount of money? You don't say...

    Yeah, things are much different for this 6th wave. And governments are now keeping statistics secret. They want us to forget.

    Maybe it's due to gradual acceptance, but I didn't even realize there had been a 5th wave.

    Variants will keep existing along as large portions of the world's population remain unvaxxed. 

    We are lucky here in Manitoba Our vaxx rate is pretty decent but compare it to places with much larger populations and yup.... variants will continue coming.  

    Saw a recent interview on the news where an infectious disease specialist reminded that while a decent number of Canadians have had up to three doses (with a fourth being considered for some high risk groups), there are some parts of the world where people have not yet received any.

    Has there been any info on the 2021 Grey Cup rings? Seems to be later in the year than when the designs for the 2019 ones came out. I wanna see them!

    I seem to recall the design for the 2019 rings being revealed May-ish. Could be wrong though.

    2019 ones did not get unveiled until August 6, 2020. 

    That late? Really?
