    Just picked up a Grey Cup sign at the IG Bomber store. Pretty busy but there was still a pile of signs left. Picked up some merch and Christmas gifts while there. Was a costly trip though as my vehicle got rear ended on the way home. Ah well. I’m just happy to have my sign!

    That stinks - sorry to hear about the car...hopefully a quick and easy fix.  
    Roads were terrible yesterday.

    There's an arena downtown too. Oh, and The Forks. Human Rights Museum. The Royal MTC. The Concert Hall.

    There's endless things to do in this city whether you're outdoorsy or in-doorsy. 

    If you choose to focus on the Dollaramas, that's up to you. But, as someone who has lived across this country and travelled quite a bit too, there are dollar stores everywhere. 

    And I have done them all...like I said been here for 50 years...The downtown core is rather uninviting  and for some that is a huge turn-off (me I am used to it as I work there and see the alley behind portage place almost everyday)

    I don't get overly defensive when people comment that Winnipeg isn't high on their lists of great places to live ..I can see where that impression comes from but at the same time I am still proud to be from here and will continue to make it my home.

    I cannot stand this type of crap - usually from people who never lived anywhere else and just visit other cities.  Trust me, Winnipeg has a lot going for it.

    I am certainly entitled to my opinion and like I said i am choosing to stay here cause it's home but I can see why many people leave Winnipeg.  The weather is one, the size is another (some people like the smaller city, some dont).  The political climate...3 dollaramas and dollar trees downtown aren't a great draw...

    don't take it personal but in my opinion it's just facts and observations after living in MB for 50 years.  

  4. Well if MOS leaves I think the draw of southern Ontario is what did it...his son is going to school at Guelph...his family is from there - he has strong ties to the Argos and if they win the cup he can simply say that he accomplished what he set out to do in Winnipeg.  
     

    Winnipeg is a bit of a hole too...I live here , will prob die here but let's be honest...

    Completely agreed. I live in NK and take park and ride from Club Regent. I'm typically on one of the first buses that leave at 5:30 and get to the stadium just after 6 in rush hour traffic. Takes about the same amount of time leaving. It's super easy and you don't have to worry about driving.

    I am in NK and getting the stadium by car is a breeze.  We have our parking spot and a short walk in and it's great.  Zero issues at all with the location.  

  6. I believe we are a better team than when we faced the ticats this season. We are not a run only offense anymore and our secondary is better.  
    it will be about pressure on Dane - do that if we can do some things on offense to keep Hamilton guessing we can win this.  
    Banks and Addison are good but jam them a bit at the line and hope Jeffcoat and Jefferson lead the way we have a legit shot if we play error free and win some turnovers

    Professional soccer and basketball have had very prominent cases of refs being paid off...... I wouldnt be totally surprised if it happened in the cfl as I am sure none of the officials get rich off the pay....

    I rest my case...this thinking is not dedicated to just the rider fan base...

  8. Well had we lost this place would be full of people claiming the refs were working to ensure the riders were in the Cup....in fact pretty sure some were claiming that in the GDT yesterday during the game....

    there is no rigging - incompetence? - sure but rigging the game...not a chance.  
     

    stupid rider fans just have to realize they got beat...again...at home....by the mighty Blue Bombers!!
