    They are taking field position out of the game with the idea of starting every offensive series in or close to scoring territory.

    Canada Post Strike

    Canada Post loses $10 million per day. Province of Ontario spends $30.7 billion per year on public education, Manitoba Hydro is $25 billion in debt. There is a common theme. Poor management and prioritization of wages and benefits over productivity.

    Neo-Marxism. It's Time We Talk About The Obvious & Not So Obvious

    American civilization dates back to 1776, so your 250 years in. Would you guarantee another 100 years?

    I guess they didn't want to stir the pot too much and let the ratio stand for now. What the Board of Governors has to accept is that it is only football and interest level has probably already peaked.

    Some big future changes for the CFL all headed in the wrong direction imo. Doubt I will ever do more than bet on the games until they go to 4 downs then quit all together. I stopped watching NHL 10 years ago and don't miss it at all. What would have been good is to go to meters vs yards for...

    Neo-Marxism. It's Time We Talk About The Obvious & Not So Obvious

    It's hard to say we don't learn from the past given the progress the world has seen over the years but it's become a memory of convenience for many to let things slide prioritizing personal ambition and seldom looking back on the impact of their actions. If you can accept the premise of the...

    It wasn't glamorous although If not for the late interception Argos had them right where they wanted them setting up for another walk off. Defense played well is small consolation.

    5600 in attendance for the Huskies / Regina Rams game in Saskatoon is a pretty awesome crowd. Should have had a CFL franchise in the city before now but of course the Riders wouldn't like that. Huskies won.

    Argos are required to dress 3 QBs for the game so it seems chances are good Kelly suits up with lots of talk about him being good to go although not from the team. Great opportunity for Doege as well though if he can put a few plays together. Lots on the line for this game with playoffs in mind.

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    There was quite a bit of First nation opposition to the bill that was passed in order to fast track so called critical infrastructure needs. I'm sure they bought off as many as they could but they still need to toe the line and do a good job of the task at hand of building the road. I believe...

    Makes up for the one they gave away in Edmonton week 11. What made this game close was the two turnovers on downs deep in the enemy territory. Also liked seeing the passion from Doege when Harjullahu hit the winning field goal and no doubt there were plenty of smiles to go around after the...

    Freeland leaving cabinet for Ukraine envoy position: sources

    12 years later she's a millionaire. 90% of the time she was in over her head in whatever she was doing. And really can't imagine her having any insight into Ukraine that has not already come forward. A good plan would be for all Federal pensions and benefits to terminate at the age of 71 and...

    Utah was the first state to resume executions after the 1972–1976 national moratorium on capital punishment ended with Gregg v. Georgia, when Gary Gilmore was executed by firing squad in 1977. Utah is one of only three states to have ever carried out executions by firing squad, and one of only...
