I am cynical enough to believe that the Tories introduced what was certain to be unpopular legislation with the knowledge that Pallister was as popular as cooties and would have to leave. That way, the pending premier/party leader could disavow Bill 64 and claim to be listening to the will of the people. Such is politics.

The Texas situation is far more alarming and even dangerous than would first appear. The GOP-loaded Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal of the law, and defacto has approved the beginning of the end of Roe vs Wade. No doubt other states will seize on this precedent to enact similar or even worse legislation.

I suggest that whether you are pro or anti abortion is completely irrelevant. It is the choice of the pregnant woman. Period. It is not a moral question or one of how your faith informs you- it is a medical issue. Period. This "right to life" position is a convenient flag to hide behind as pretty much all of those in that position also condemn the "morning after" pill which ensures that any ovum does not become implanted and become an embryo. The telling characteristics of the "right to life" movement is their willingness to engage in violence and murder but are not willing to have their taxes raised to provide financial support for mothers. Once the baby is born, they lose all interest in the welfare of the mother and child.

Be still my heart. Now I won't sleep tonight.

The video is unplayable.

The miscreant's wrist really smarted, though. The Law Society doubtless took a dimmer view.

A friend who retired recently at MB Hydro tells me that the organization has been under orders for the past four years to not upgrade the system or make any substantial equipment purchases, The probable thinking is to cripple the services to the point where there will be so much dissatisfaction by consumers that the PCS can justify selling it off. MLCC is next on the block, though.

The ship is sinking and certain animals react to that by leaving.

So far, we do not seem to have a game-breaker receiver who scares the poop out of defensive backs. Collaros has the arm and attitude and it would loosen up things for the possession receivers and the running game.

Madison Cawthorn's office desperately tries to backpedal after he goes off the rails in conspiratorial screed At a meeting of the Macon County Republican Party this weekend, freshman Rep. Madison Cawthorn deployed extremist and incendiary rhetoric about the Jan. 6 defendants and GOP claims about stolen elections. In one section that caught attention on social media on Monday, the North Carolina Republican responded to a question about the people who have been charged with crimes related to the Capitol insurrection by calling the defendants "political hostages." He even suggested it would be appropriate to break in and free these people from federal custody — assuming he knew their location. "The big problem is, we don't actually know where all the political prisoners are, and so if we were to actually be able to go and try and bust them out," he said, without fully completing the thought. It's possible he realized he was crossing a serious line by discussing forcibly releasing people from law enforcement custody.

(Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier in the US): Ivermectin must be administered despite CDC and FDA warnings, Ohio judge orders A COVID patient's wife got a prescription from an Ivermectin promoter but the hospital refused to administer it. An Ohio judge ordered a Cincinnati-area hospital to treat a patient with Ivermectin, a drug commonly used to deworm livestock, despite warnings from federal health agencies. Butler County Judge Gregory Howard last week ordered West Chester Hospital, which is part of the University of Cincinnati network, to "immediately administer Ivermectin" to 51-year-old Jeffrey Smith daily for the next three weeks. The ruling came after Smith's wife, Julie Smith, asked the court for an emergency order to use the drug to treat her husband, who is on a ventilator and has been in an ICU for weeks, according to the Ohio Capital Journal. The lawsuit did not say whether Smith was vaccinated but state data shows that fewer than 500 of the more than 20,000 hospitalized Covid patients in the state have been fully vaccinated. Julie Smith "found Ivermectin on her own" and connected with Dr. Fred Wagshul, an Ohio physician that her lawsuit described as "one of the foremost experts on using Ivermectin in treating COVID-19," who prescribed the drug but the hospital refused to administer it, according to the Capital Journal. Wagshul is a co-founder of the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance, a nonprofit that promotes the use of Ivermectin despite warnings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration that it has no effect and could be dangerous. Dr. Leanne Chrisman-Khawam, a physician and Ohio University professor, called the group "snake oil salesmen," noting that there are "serious" issues with their research and that the studies they cite often "don't show positive results" and have "design flaws." "Based on evidence-based medicine and my read on this large number of small studies, I would find this very suspect, even the positive outcomes," she told the Capital Journal.

If only you would use that power for good...

...And there it is...

Any time the quarterback is a legitimate threat to run for decent yards, that changes the whole game plan for the opposing defence. The more variables (options) an offence has, more stress it puts on the defence. Streveler had the ability to run over people as well as gain big yards in critical situations and that put the fear of God into defenders.

The provincial PCs are probably praying that the pandemic will go away all by itself by then and then they can crow about their masterful inactivity.

That would appear to be the logical inference.

Roosevelt was never the fastest receiver, and I imagine the Rider fans are howling about the Bombers picking through their leftovers.

Or we have fewer (but not none) troglodytes.

He may be stupid and a Neanderthal but at least he is up front. On the other hand he is repeating what he has been told to say.

New restaurants used to intrigue me a lot more before I married a chef.

Agreed, but the whole point of denying contraception/education and abortions to women is partially that the perpetrators assume (wrongly) that it is the poor and marginalized who are having sex and they must be punished. Banning RU486 in most states is a part of that bizarre thinking.

There is absolutely an inverse relationship between education and unplanned pregnancies. However, the "righteous "moralists among the right wing. Militant about denying contraception, sex education and abortion to women but totally indifferent, even hostile to the welfare of women and children.

Following this line of reasoning, we should park all cars because some of them crash.
