I have worked in acute healthcare for 30 years. My wife has been a respiratory therapist for the same amount of time. My daughter has just begun her healthcare career in the medical ICU.
Tell me more about how being unvaccinated affects only the individual, when people are dying from the lack of surgical intervention because medical options are closed due to lack of resources.
Some food for thought:
If you click on the xlsx file referenced in the above article, you will notice that there was a sometimes signifiant decrease in hospital activity across the board from March to November 2020 compared to 2019 (December was about the same). That includes overall admissions, ICU admissions, ventilator use, etc. I’d be curious to see how the 2019 numbers compare with early 2021 but I cannot find those numbers.
The following report from 2014 (a more recent study would be welcomed) shows that Canadian ICUs in urban areas spend 45 to 51 days per year above capacity on average.

There has been a shortage of nurses for as long as I can remember, and unfortunately these factors have only exacerbated the situation.

Multiple studies show that the viral load is the same between a vaccinated and unvaccinated individual. While a vaccinated individual might be less likely to get infected, they are also more likely to walk around as asymptomatic carriers (especially considering they are seldom required to get tested anymore compared to the unvaccinated).
There really is no need to be scared of the unvaccinated. The decisions they make only affect themselves. I say this as a fully vaccinated person myself.
Keep in mind that these people think they’re doing mankind a favour by fighting for our freedom, and therefore do not believe that they are being selfish. And honestly, we need people like that in this world, who don’t just blindly trust the government with everything they ask us to do.

I hope they can speak French.
The new owners don't speak French but they said the team president will speak the language fluently.

My issue with it is that his throwing motion stops and he's still fully possessing the ball, then it comes out as the brunt of the contact is made. If the motion is continuous it's a pass, once it stops and he keeps the ball it's a fumble once it comes out. In real-time it's impossible to make that call but replay needs to get it right.
That play is called an incomplete pass 99% of the time. Don’t be silly

Also Jeff Hecht was absolutely useless in those last few drives, minus that one fortunate interception

This game serves as a lesson in humility. Pretty funny how arrogant everyone here was after the first half!

#Bombers have released quarterback Kevin Anderson from the practice roster. Anderson asked for his release to explore other opportunities.

Totally bullshit, no action on Rempel but you fine Jefferson. We should take out their LS and tell the CFL to **** off if they take action against us.
You can't fine someone for making a legal play.

It was no freak accident.
Remple’s head bounced because he wasn’t ready to absorb that hit.
That alone should have been THE indicator that it was roughing. It was an aggressive hit and injured a player.
Duh!
What else do you need?
It was an aggressive, but unfortunately legal hit. I don't believe it was meant to cause injury.
-
Y'all are too sensitive.
The league said that there is nothing in the rule book prohibiting this type of hit, and that they will look at ways to prevent this from happening in the future, which is exactly THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
To be fair, it was kind of a freak accident, with Rempel's head hitting the turf the way it did. Had he simply fallen on his back, this wouldn't even be a point of discussion. I don't believe the hit was malicious in nature.

If Jefferson picked it up and punted yes...since it was dribbled and Edmonton batted it out, Bombers never possessed it. It’s a safety. I’ve seen this play scenario before.
Hmm, perhaps you’re right. Strange that there is little mention of a dribbled ball in the rule book.
For a safety to be scored, the rules state specifically that the ball has to be “carried, kicked, fumbled or otherwise directed from the Field of Play into the Goal Area by the team scored against”. That is not what happened on this play, hence the confusion.

Dribbled ball...should be a safety, would be a single if it went out directly from the kick, since Edmonton punched it out of touch it's a safety. Could have been a huge turning point handing Edmonton the ball and some field position on a botched call. The key words below are "directed" and "possessed." If Edmonton recovered the ball and killed the play it's a single. Directing it out of touch makes it a safety.
Article 3 — Safety Touch
A safety touch is scored when the ball becomes dead in the possession of a team in its own Goal Area, or touches or crosses the Dead Line or a Sideline in Goal as a result of the ball having been carried, kicked, fumbled or otherwise directed from the Field of Play into the Goal Area by the team scored against, or as a direct result of a kick from scrimmage having been blocked in the Field of Play or Goal Area.
After a safety touch, the options to the scoring team are to:
- Scrimmage at their own 35-yard line,
- kickoff from their own 35-yard line or,
- Accept a kickoff from the 25-yard line of the team who conceded the safety touch.
If while in the act of conceding a safety touch, a team deliberately, in the judgment of the official, commits a Holding infraction, the score shall count and the penalty applied at the point where the ball is next put into play.
When a Rough Play or Unnecessary Roughness foul is committed on a play during which a safety touch is scored by the non-offending team, the score shall be allowed and the penalty assessed from the point where the ball is next put in play.
Article 4 — Single Point Or Rouge
If the ball is kicked into the Goal Area by an opponent, a rouge is scored:
- when the ball becomes dead in possession of a team in its own Goal Area or,
- when the ball touches or crosses the Dead Line or a Sideline in Goal, and touches the ground, a player or some object beyond these lines.
I respectfully disagree with your assessment. Article 4, point 2 is exactly what happened on that play.

Apparently throwing 10 yard out patterns all the way down the field while down by two scores and ending with 7 field goals gets you lots of passing yards and losses.
Who woulda thunk.
You make me laugh. Trevor Harris is so much better than Nichols it's not even a debate.

Aaaaand I spoke too soon.
Are you saying MATT NICHOLS is a championship calibre quarterback?? Sorry to break it to you but a Grey Cup will never be within reach with Mr. Game Manager at the helm.

If it happened to Nichols it would be a penalty because he'd be in the pocket.
Your QB can't run around the field 60 yards and then complain about getting hit on that play.
It’s the hit to the head that is the issue. I’m sure all of us would be infuriated had that happened to Nichols.

I think all of RF will need that, considering I suspect the whole forum there will blame the refs for a nothingburger like the losers they are
That’s a little harsh. If that happened to Nichols we would be up in arms too.

I can see Jeffcoat being suspended for that hit

Don’t think Lankford has ever broken a tackle in his life.

If people have a problem they should focus their attention on the government. Why attack a business that has no choice but to obey public health orders?
People have become so hostile to one another, on both sides, and it is so disheartening. The world would be a much better place if we learned to understand each other’s differences and have respectful dialogue.
