Ah, for the good old days of the Rhinoceros party.....

Seven deaths in the past 24 hours in Manitoba, ICUs are filled up and they are talking up loosening restrictions. Unbelievable.

In any case, Trump turning on Pence and demanding that Pence be investigated should motivate Pence to tell all. In doing so, he may well torpedo his own political aspirations, but if you lie down with dogs, you are gonna get fleas.

That movie is one of my unsung favourites.

The WB cartoons have also been often cited as one of the sources of humour copied by writers and comedians to this day- along with The Muppet Show. I still love them.

They shoulda turned left at Albuquerque.

Yes, Bergen was,

I meant 2 out of three. Chris Jones is good as entertainment for other CFL fans, but a pestilence for Elk fans.

Don't know if has been posted already, but Augustine has re-signed with the Blue.

I can see why they have kept Legghio around- a ton of potential and young enough to be around for a decade or more if he gets his poop together.

Well, one out of three ain't too bad.

O'Toole had zero chance to rein in the nutbars in the party. They resented that he did not throw himself into the extreme anti-science, gun-promoting agenda "Christian" agenda right off the hop, and the knives were sharpened. The only reason the CPC got close to a majority in the early part of the election was that O'Toole was perceived by voters as pragmatic and progressive, and that doomed him within the party.

I cannot recall the state, but apparently an atheistic group has filed a lawsuit demanding that the Bible be removed from all schools for its promotion of incest, human sacrifice, killing of dissidents who wear the wrong clothes or plant the wrong crops, slavery and genocide.

Trump won only by voicing lies, triggering racial fears and hatred, and by a campaign of voter suppression and gerrymandering. He got away with it once and the GOP has realized that they have to corrupt the political system even further to stand another chance.

You are seeing what you choose to see. The housing shortage is being market-driven, inflation reflects the slowing of income and expenditures the federal government had to make due to the COVID crisis. Unemployment is low, so where is your argument? The majority of Canadians support progressive policies, including carbon pricing, and rather than accept restrictions on firearms and carbon pricing, the CPC rank and file chose to kill O'Toole the messenger. He was intelligent enough to realize that these policies resonated with the majority of Canadians, and he paid the price for saying it out loud. Instead of realizing that they are out of step with history and Canadian public opinion, they have retreated into unpopular dogma and are wringing their hands in self-pity.

I suspect that many relatively sane CPC MPs and their followers are willing to countenance a far-right leader (and all the luddite policies) so long as it means that the Liberals lose. This, essentially means sacrificing principles for a shot at power. The GOP headed in that direction some 30 years ago, and look where that took them.

Sheer is a "leader"????

(Another one bites the dust) Anti-Vax Priest Who Claimed Vaccines Contain ‘Aborted Embryos’ Dies of COVID An Italian priest who shunned COVID-19 vaccines over the false belief that they contain “aborted embryos” has died at the age of 51 after battling coronavirus for several weeks. Don Paolo Romeo had resisted pleas to get vaccinated from friends and colleagues who tried to talk sense into him, according to the L’Unione Sarda newspaper. Romeo, who served as parish priest at Santo Stefano Abbey in Genoa, had clung to the conspiracy theory espoused by followers of French Catholic Archbishop Marcel François Marie Joseph Lefebvre: that vaccines are made using cells from aborted embryos. (This claim is false and has been debunked even by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which noted in a statement released in January that “neither Pfizer nor Moderna used an abortion-derived cell line in the development or production of the vaccine.”) Fetal cell lines, which are cloned copies of cells taken from elective abortions that were performed decades ago, were used in the testing of vaccines and have frequently been used for the testing of widely used drugs like ibuprofen and aspirin. But even the Vatican has stressed that COVID-19 vaccines are “morally acceptable” and “can be used in good conscience” during the pandemic. Romeo refused to be swayed, however, and he continued to celebrate Mass despite coronavirus infections spreading. He was diagnosed with the virus in January and was admitted to a hospital near his church after his health rapidly deteriorated, according to local reports.

It is starting to look like a circus, and going to get weirder and weirder.

So far it looks like the defence will be set soon and even better than last year, given the continuity. The only possible fly in the ointment might be Richie Hall's health.

Fact-checker torches Chip Roy for circulating false conspiracy about Canadian PM fleeing to the United States Fact-checkers are pushing back against Rep. Chip Roy's (R-Texas) false claims about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. According to The Daily Beast, Roy's post stems from a conspiracy about Trudeau fleeing Canada "in fear of a group of truck drivers who are protesting vaccine mandates" in Ottawa, Canada. In a series of Twitter posts shared on January 31, Roy slammed Trudeau and even called for him to be deported from the states even though he is not in the country. With a photo of Trudeau, Roy tweeted, “Is there a more gutless and cowardly display than a tyrant on the run?” The following day, he tweeted: "If Justin Trudeau is hiding in the United States, we should return him to Canada and make him face his own people immediately." He added, "No safe haven for fleeing COVID tyrants. #LiveFree #DeportTrudeau." And he included a graphic that featured a promotional logo for his congressional campaign, a photo of Trudeau, and the words "DEPORT TRUDEAU."

I have little doubt he was playing for minimum wage for the honour (?) of playing for the Riders. He can retire knowing that he did his bit to create the season the Riders had.

Isn't Argula some sort of veggie?
