Westy Sucks

Ah, to have a leader who is a real leader.  A man with strong convictions, not afraid to offend the whiny cry baby lefties lost in lala land.

About 10 years ago we went for a week long holiday to Cuba over New Year.    Rather then a tour into Havana on a bus with a big group, we opted for a more personal tour with just our group in a mini-van with a tour guide.  Got to know the guide over the course of the day and by the end of it he opened up a bit to us.
In a quiet moment at the end of the day as we were grabbing a drink, he told us about how his job dealt with showing tourists around all day long, every day.  He got to meet a lot of different people from a lot of different countries, but he also felt like a prisoner in his country.  He (like most citizens) was not allowed to leave Cuba for any reason, including vacation.  He had absolutely zero chance of visiting all these countries of people he had met.  They had no freedom to live their lives how they wanted.  They had to follow the state rules and the propaganda that was forced onto them.
Just imagine if that was how Canada was run.  You had little say in how you lived your life, what your job was, where you wanted to live, and where you wanted to go.  We all take the basic freedoms that we have for granted and can't even contemplate what it is like for people in other countries who don't have them.
We each tossed in $5 US for a tip at the end of the day, to give him $25 after driving us around and showing us the sites for a full day.  He was almost in tears as that was more than a months wage for him.  Granted that could have been a bit of an act as I'm sure he gets this regularly with his job (being in tourism was one of the best paying jobs in Cuba because of the tips), but it seemed very genuine.
And you know, Hitler never did anything to me personally, it doesn't mean I don't give a crap about what he did.
 

Just when I thought I couldn't despise Trudeau any more...he proves me wrong again.  

Does anyone really know if NAFTA & these other international trade deals have made our lives better or worse? I just see jobs going to Mexico or China & the Phiullipines. Meanwhile you can't ship beer from one province to another among other things. I wish we'd take care of our own country first before trying to be wunderkinds on the world stage all the time & have everybody like us.

Pierre actually stated "Viva Castro" at one point on a visit to Cuba while PM, and I believe he also allowed plane-loads of Cuban terrorists to land and refuel in Gander on their way to Angola.  Not Canada's finest moment.  At least it wasn't, until Justin's statement came out yesterday.  I actually saw Justin on the news the other day when he was in Cuba and he was praising Raul Castro and saying that their families had been friends for generations.  I thought I was going to be ill, but since that story only got coverage in Canada no one cared.  This statement by Trudeau is being pilloried world wide.  And rightly so.  

Pierre Trudeau was a member of the Canadian Communist Party in the 50's & was a labor organizer in Quebec. He later became a Liberal when he entered federal politics. So, you know Justin was impressed by Castro as his father was enamoured with him. Two fellow communists talking by the fire. I don't agree that "All of Canada mourns". No, Justin does so don't include the rest of us.

Pretty big news as Canada becomes a joke around the world. That's what happens when you elect a childish empty suit. Don't blame me, I voted conservative lol

You know what, I love me some Andrew Harris for a lot of reasons but he's not the same level of threat that Milt or Charlie were. Those two were just something else. Milt moreso than Charlie. 

I miss Milt and Charlie.  We just do not really have that guy who gets you on the edge of your seat every time he touches the ball like those 2 did. 

The key to our 1980's dynasty was our defense.  We just aren't there yet.  

The D has been giving up huge chunks of yardage all year - today they gave them up when it really counted. The O goes 2 and out in critical situations - they did that again today. A 61 yard field goal attempt - is indefensible

I'm very happy to see Feoli-Gudino in place of Rory.  Rory has not been good enough this year.

So Medlock breaking a record isn't a sexy story? If Medlock doesn't win..
 It's a joke 

If Roosevelt had played an entire season playing as he did in the first 11 games then he likely would have been named.
And c'mon people... this is a thread about the Bombers named Western All-Stars and the majority of posts are about Riders and Riderfans.
Congratulations to the Bomber 6!

Wow!  Pretty dead GDT.
Really want to see Medlock to break the FG record. 
Winning is always better than losing, even if it means it gives us a more difficult route in the playoffs.  We have to take advantage of the RB's sitting everyone.  We need to take them out to the back yard and all the way to the woodshed for a beating.

That was a wonderful, compassionate gesture by Hufnagel and the Stamps organization. Kudos to them.

a win here would be absolute huge. 9 wins and I don't think there's any way you miss the playoffs, a win and it makes Edmontons chances catching you so slim. Bottom line just win baby. by hook or by crook just win what ever it takes. 

Maybe That'll teach him to start diving for a loose ball rather than swat at it....

So Trouba wants a trade  he and his camp have no power to make this happen, make him sit until a great deal comes along.

If it means we win, I wouldn't care if you got blown away by a tornado.

I think back to the one game we DID win at McMahon in the last million years, and it was a ridiculous snow-bowl...... #WhateverItTakes

It's far worse for Winnipeg fans who travel to Regina.  While this is an ugly incident, I've never heard of Bomber fans jumping and attacking Rider fans and I've seen Rider fans jump Bomber fans without provocation out of nowhere in Regina.  As in a mugging.

I like how Glenn has gotten this insurance policy moniker.  To me its like an insurance policy where you total your Porsche and they hand you the keys to a 1976 Gremlin as a replacement vehicle.

As much as this was a good trade for us,...I just can't stand KG.  If he has to start for us on a cold day we're done.  We should start Davis if Nichols goes down in that situation.  I dread having to watch KG turtle like a frightened little kid in cold weather games.

good trade for sure for Willy, but here's my reaction to getting Glenn back...
