well the IOC has announced that the 2032 games will be going back to Australia, this time it'll be in Brisbane

That's quite early. Normally they don't pick host cities until about 7-8 years before.

Kind of disappointed that clip doesn't have the shot of Maccocia when he simultaneously barfed in his mouth and soiled himself.

Watched it at home in the basement, talked about it all day at work the next day, and kept the recording on my PVR for years.

I haven't used my card yet. Do they check photo ID as well? If they don't is there anything stopping people from just borrowing a valid card?

Using Bomber games as an example, you'll need to bring:

 

1) Vaccination QR code or physical vaccination card

2) Photo ID

3) Game ticket

There was something on Twitter about 1 of the Sask players having tested positive, but it turned out to be a false-positive.

You sure that wasn't an IQ test? 😉

Just today I saw a report from Tennessee saying adults need to watch themselves around children as they are highly transmissable. 

And we all know that adults are the leading cause of children. 😜

I will be surprised if this lawyer doesn't find himself in front of the Law Society Discipline committee.

This is American style crap, we don't need this stuff here.

really awful. Apology isn't going to cut it.

 

You knew that the plaintiffs in this case would appeal if (or hopefully when) they lose the case, but this will just give them an additional reason. They’ll claim that the judge wasn’t impartial because of this incident.

They'll do it this week. They wanted one full incubation period, which coincides with the end of the current health restrictions this weekend. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the current orders are technically in place until August 2nd. If they wanted the next changes to come into effect sooner they would repeal (not sure if that's the right political term to use) the current ones effective whenever they choose.

Josh Hawley demands Canada be added to religious freedom watch list
   
In Alberta, Canada, some pastors were arrested after openly defying COVID-19 restriction, and Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri is claiming that the pastors, James Coates and Tim Stephens, were victims of religious persecution and is asking the Commission on International Religious Freedom to consider placing Canada on a special watch list.

In a letter sent on June 26, the far-right GOP senator wrote, "I am troubled that our Canadian neighbors are effectively being forced to gather in secret, undisclosed locations to exercise their basic freedom to worship. Frankly, I would expect this sort of religious crackdown in Communist China, not in a prominent western nation like Canada."

This reminds me, has there been a decision in that case between the various churches and the MB govt?

It will be interesting to watch the southern health region.  They don't have a large urban centre, yet they still have 20 - 30 cases every day - about half of Winnipeg's number. 

Similar deal with the Northern health region, but at least they have a semi-decent vaccination rate.

That's the thing about loosened restrictions: just because you now CAN do something (e.g. go out to a restaurant, have 10 people over in your backyard) doesn't mean you SHOULD. Unfortunately most people will react like they're at the mall on Boxing Day morning.

it will inevitably be clogged up by the d-bag who stops in the merge lane and waits for all traffic to pass, just like in every other interchange or merge lane in the city.

100% agree. Not only should you get a ticket for being a moron, but you should also have your licence taken away.

Just became eligible for my 2nd Pfizer dose today but there was nothing available at RBC, Leila, or Steinbach. For Moderna at RBC you could get in as early as Wednesday afternoon (June 23rd).

I thought they said today you can book Moderna as your second if you had Pfizer.
