BC's defence has been their strength all year, so Bomber offence will have to fight for every yard.

The human bulldozer.

There might be method in their madness. Getting out of Saskatchewan even for a few days- mmm good.

Its called "grasping at straws"

Facebook Papers Reveal How It Had Been 'Fueling This Fire' Ahead Of The Insurrection. New internal documents provide a rare glimpse into how the tech giant appears to have stumbled into the Jan. 6 riot. WASHINGTON (AP) — As supporters of Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6th, battling police and forcing lawmakers into hiding, an insurrection of a different kind was taking place inside the world’s largest social media company. Thousands of miles away, in California, Facebook engineers were racing to tweak internal controls to slow the spread of misinformation and inciteful content. . At the same time, frustration inside Facebook erupted over what some saw as the company’s halting and often reversed response to rising extremism in the U.S. “Haven’t we had enough time to figure out how to manage discourse without enabling violence?” one employee wrote on an internal message board at the height of the Jan. 6 turmoil. “We’ve been fueling this fire for a long time and we shouldn’t be surprised it’s now out of control.” It’s a question that still hangs over the company today, as Congress and regulators investigate Facebook’s part in the Jan. 6 riots. New internal documents provided by former Facebook employee-turned-whistleblower Frances Haugen provide a rare glimpse into how the company appears to have simply stumbled into the Jan. 6 riot. It quickly became clear that even after years under the microscope for insufficiently policing its platform, the social network had missed how riot participants spent weeks vowing — on Facebook itself — to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s election victory. The documents also appear to bolster Haugen’s claim that Facebook put its growth and profits ahead of public safety, opening the clearest window yet into how Facebook’s conflicting impulses — to safeguard its business and protect democracy — clashed in the days and weeks leading up to the attempted Jan. 6 coup. This story is based in part on disclosures Haugen made to the Securities and Exchange Commission and provided to Congress in redacted form by Haugen’s legal counsel. The redacted versions received by Congress were obtained by a consortium of news organizations, including The Associated Press.

Thought the game would be decided by the quarterbacks, and that Toronto had the better of the two teams. So far Shiltz looks better than MBT but neither are good. I am happy for Khari.

Neither good nor entertaining.

And that, my friend, is why we watch sports instead of formulaic murder mysteries.

I immediately visualized Hufnagel's face with purple veins standing out on his neck like firehoses.

Agreed. Harris, apart from being a talented athlete with a big prey drive, is a money player. He gets better and better when the games matter.

You may be excited to learn that peanut flavoured beer shakes are now available in canned form. Yum.

I'm waiting for the return of the Scooby-Do mysteries, Or the Gong Show. Whichever.

Pfizer Says COVID-19 Vaccine More Than 90% Effective In Kids Kid-size doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine appear safe and nearly 91% effective at preventing symptomatic infections in 5- to 11-year-olds, according to study details released Friday as the U.S. considers opening vaccinations to that age group. The shots could begin in early November, with the first children in line fully protected by Christmas, if regulators give the go-ahead. That would represent a major expansion of the nation’s vaccine drive, encompassing roughly 28 million elementary school-age youngsters. Details of Pfizer’s study were posted online. The Food and Drug Administration was expected to post its own review of the company’s safety and effectiveness data later in the day. Advisers to the FDA will publicly debate the evidence next week. If the agency itself authorizes the shots, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will make the final decision on who should receive them. Full-strength Pfizer shots already are authorized for anyone 12 or older, but pediatricians and many parents are anxiously awaiting protection for younger children to stem rising infections and record hospitalizations among them from the extra-contagious delta variant and to help keep kids in school.

I consulted a reputable source- my ouija board. If I can't trust that, who can I trust?

its probably not gonna be a classic but we can hope for it being entertaining.

Sounds like his knee sustained structural damage, and those are slow to respond to treatment- we might not see him again this year.

He has stepped into the pages of history.

Sets are supposed to have "safety officers" who are responsible for ensuring that no one gets hurt.

He is a decent actor, but he attacked and Asian man with an iron rod and inflicted permanent damage in a racist attack.

There are many societal parallels between Canada and Finland. Where did you get the statistic that Finland is the third richest country in the world? I have worked in the justice system and unpaid fines typically result in jailing- the courts do not take the ignoring of court-imposed fines lightly. If the miscreants have to be pursued for repayment of fines, the next time they appear in court, they go directly to jail.

Bolsonaro faces ‘crimes against humanity’ charge over COVID-19 mishandling A Brazilian congressional panel has recommended that President Jair Bolsonaro be charged with “crimes against humanity" over his alleged bungling of the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The near-1,200 page report, formally presented on Oct. 20, 2021, holds Bolsonaro culpable for worsening a crisis that has to date killed some 600,000 Brazilians, outlining how his failed policies allowed the virus to spread among the population. The president denies any wrongdoing. An earlier draft had called for Bolsonaro to be indicted for homicide and genocide as well, given how the ravages of the coronavirus have disproportionately hit Brazil's Indigenous groups. But those charges were dropped from the final report. Since the beginning of the pandemic, The Conversation's authors have been chronicling the crisis in Brazil – and Bolsonaro's role in letting it happen.

I thought it was the European Soccer league.

Hope you are aware that before you will be let back into Canada, you will both have to produce a recent negative test.

It looks like Scheifele is going to sat out due to a positive COVID test. We're probably gonna see if this iteration has grit or if they will sleepwalk through another game. The last game was not exciting- it was infuriating and frustrating to watch them blow a two goal lead with six minutes to go. Hellebuyck has not been sharp.
