There are more tragedies that most likely never came to light after that war....Your friends father sounds like a repeat of mine.....Post war my dad worked for the federal govt. ran a dept. in the Unemployment Insurance office in Wpg. for years until the booze finally caught up....Our family really took a hit and ended up in emergency housing (Flora Place) when I was a kid....It was tough for my brothers and sisters to come out of that but we managed....It was easy to feel sorry for ourselves but we didn't...It's tough for me to even talk about those days and I can imagine what some families are going through now with this pandemic...Losing everything is tough but we keep on going...Hard life lessons are being learned now....BUT it well end....as that war did, and like I said before life goes on...................Back to football
-
My father turned to booze also...He was R.C.A.F. in the Battle of Britain from 39' on....I know what he saw and endured was most likely the cause of his alcoholism ...ruined the family and his life....Did we cry and give up ...NO....we sucked it up and survived.....Our neighbours at the time said he was termed .shell shocked' ...the term is now PTSD...BUT nobody ,especially govt. wanted to recognize it....This pandemic is a war of sorts....but nothing compared to the 60 million lives lost in that catastrophe...the second world war.....Life goes on
-
I think he's trying to flag that blonde cross from him but she's only got eyes for the spangle dangler with the mic and high heels
-
Boomers don't have to prove anything to anyone....never have ..never will...Speaking for my generation ,a lot of us were born to vets. from a world war....much bigger than this pandemic....The children born to PTSD veterans of that war carried a heavy load in the initial part of their lives....Looking back most of us have done well considering ...This pandemic will end....most will survive...including boomers....In the end and at present it starts with getting a vaccination...encouraging others to get it definitely helps AND ...our music is and was better than that rap crap
-
If the 'boomers' (of which I'm one and have had my shot) are walking away from getting the needle then they should be criticized ...No excuses BUT I know of a few that were given a scare, when the Astra Zeneca was being given a bad rap and I can understand their concerns...Now it's seems to have cleared the health regulators and I believe boomers are okay with it....Can't speak for everyone but I feel any vaccine offered should be considered ...just get it done.........Didn't like the term 'boomer remover' ,the early name given to covid... and now the younger generations are now finding out this thing doesn't play any favourites
-
Vaccine's...vaccine's ...vaccines is the name of the game....I'm hoping the rate of needles in arms jumps precipitously and we can start putting this pandemic behind us....Fans in the stands is key and with some sort of protocol adjustment this version of the season just might work....Americans saying today they are upping the supply of vaccine to Canada today...Anything and everything will help...Finally a glimmer of hope
-
I think you stole those lines...LOL...part of the empty bunk syndrome ..
-
The Benn move is a kind of a yawner....gave up practically nothing.....for not much.... Benn has experience and he's insurance in case someone goes down is what I see...Pretty much a nothing day on the trade front...Lot's of excitement on the Toranna Shill Network though, for their already anointed local Cup team
-
Getting late in the day to make a move....We're not going to give up anything of value for what's currently out there....I thought after Savard was dealt that we were done in the D moves....Could be wrong but I think we're done....I sure don't want to give up a high pick for average
-
The D needs shoring up...(duh) .. Jackets Savard looking good as an addition down the stretch..Will we be a buyer??
-
This variant is expected to go through the whole team.....that's a real concern....This is the Brazilian variant and nobody knows the long term effects of this thing...If players are on oxygen this is very serious and one the nhl is going to have a heckuva time dealing with
-
Roslo was very expendable....His play here was hot and cold and he looked like just a throw in for the Dubois trade...Looks like his play is more old than hot according to Torts...You can't take any games off when you're playing for that coach
-
Looks like the NDP has taken over the lead in the polls recently in Alta...Just how bad is Kenny's govt....???that says a lot
-
Mitchell ...we hardly knew ye..........Was looking forward to seeing him in the lineup....Can hardly blame the guy though with so much uncertainty....So the search goes on....Who's out there??? Maybe one of our new recruits will surprise...IF we can ever get going in 21'
-
By the look on Laine's face, when Torts was leaning over his shoulder, it looked like Laine was disgusted and sorry he ever left the Peg......Some bad vibes going on with those two and one or the other are going to have to leave....Seems Tortorella was pulling the same gag on Dubois and the Jackets seen how that worked out...So who's the problem??? it's apparent the moody blue Jackets have a big one
-
That population wouldn't be in T.O. would it.....shocking....A lot of wannabe's there...
-
Simply put ..there's just too many disparities between the leagues and it's rules....A bridge too far
-
I agree with Clint........There's no way we proceed UNLESS that league changes it's format to 3 down...Americans are always saying how much more exciting the CFL is and it's because of our rules...Field size is another concern...they have to get bigger...There's so much change that would have to happen and basically it would have to amount to CFL 2 down there, because I don't see it working any other way....It won't work any other way in this country...BIG bridges to cross....but interesting nonetheless
-
that's because they think they're the centre of the universe....that's why I love it when we kick their arse...GO JETS ...show me that the Mont. game was just an anomaly
-
weak excuse....I understand that we are defensively challenged ( not in net) could be an excuse but NOBODY showed up last night
-
What a brutal performance....Why did we bother showing up?? Play like that against T.O. and we might as well mail them the points....I haven't seen a more pitiful effort delivered by this club for a very long time...I just hope it's a one off....this club is better than that....Coaches being given the pink slips for that kind of play...Maurice doesn't want to find himself on that list
-
CFL is going to miss the big guy and his larger than life attitude ...Condolences to the family
-
I wish someone could come up with a clip on Leggs, that shows him pounding field goals through from 50 yds. with no problem...This kid is real good and if we're going with him I hope he can transition to the CFL game easily....The TiCats are still fuming over the fact we grabbed him in the draft.....tough for them....that's the way the old ball rolls
-
Difference maker....YUP.....This kid Dubois is a talent
-
Could be a real difference maker IF he can go.....go Jets
