  1. The precedent is already set with the culturally-enforced garb of Hutterite (and some Mennonite) women as well as the Hassidic Judaism expectations of women's "modesty".
  2. What probably doomed Hillary was the revelation that the party bosses conspired to undermine Bernie Sanders even though every poll showed him to be more popular than Ms. Clinton and way more popular than Trump. There is a staggering amount of cynicism in America about the real influence of ordinary voters and these same angry, disenfranchised voters elected the rabid Trump out frustration. The prevailing thinking was, "what the hell. burn it all down" but I do not think that many thought it all the way through. They played right into the hands of the fascists and fundamentalist "Christians". The only way that the Dems can bring back trust into their party would be to bring in a firebrand outspoken leader like Elizabeth Warren. Bernie Sanders is cut from the same cloth but is too old to have the energy to reshape the American political scene.
  3. This business about the terrible treatment of women is so widespread through so many different cultures here in North America and Canada it is frightening. Apart from the previously mentioned, there are also the Old Order Mennonites, parts of the Mormonism followers, and even some of the Hutterite communities. What diminishes one, diminishes all. It seem every culture and relgious tradition has its share of lunatics.
  4. There is a provision in the American constitution to remove a president who has become unfit to hold the office. It was intended to be invoked should a president become comatose or demented, but apparently Republican officials are discussing the option to apply it to Trump.
  5. Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation: First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. This product of diseased minds affects as all. No matter if the slurs and hatred are directed at Jews, Muslims, gays, or women, it affects us all, even at a distance. We are all in this together, like it or not.
  6. You bet your bippy. I would bet he is looking eastward to The Big Smoke.
  7. If Franklin has any say in where he goes, he would be a fool to choose the Riders over, say, the Bombers. No quarterback, no matter how skilled and experienced , is going to stay healthy let alone look good behind that O-line guided by that coaching staff. The Bombers found that out in the Buck Pierce era, and in that same era, we found out that any quarterback with potential with potential will have that potential snuffed out and replaced with PTSD. Franklin will need a decent O-line, receivers and coaching if he wants to become an elite pivot.
  8. No doubt he could vie for Ms. Saskatchewan and likely win handily.
  9. More likely the onset of apathy. But who cares if you have it?
  10. Cato showed some real flashes of ability and passion in the middle of that poop-storm in Montreal last season. God knows, he has the raw tools and I wouldn't mid seeing him at training camp. With some good coaching, he could be a diamond in the rough.
  11. But only if he brings his friend Bud along.
  12. Thank you! I will add I called the Bomber store and was told that they did not have such.
  13. I'm a Kevin Glenn fan- he ought to change his name to Rodney Dangerfield. However, even in his prime, he could not steer that gong show fermenting in Regina to a winning season. He will probably be blamed for the whole mess and get canned before Labour Day.
  14. If you can get a source for me, I would appreciate it.
  15. Where do I get one of these?
  16. Personally, I resemble that remark!
  17. That, and feline seizing.
  18. And people wonder why the Argos are contantly mocked as being a crappy organization.
  19. All together now:" You gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em..know when to walk away...."
  20. Mr. Denmark could develop one of those sudden, mysterious, nagging injuries that would keep him sidelined for weeks.
  21. Maybe Carrot-top Tillman will rise again?
  22. Soon a search party with dogs will be out looking for Taman.
  23. Get your popcorn ready- this is gonna be a show.
