If you wish to think of it that way. It's more a statement on Dr. Henry than the horse though.

Everyone underperformed, not just Schmidt. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong for us. With everything that happened, Schmidt easily deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Like I didn't expect him to have numbers like in Vegas, he left a stronger team and came to a weaker team, so numbers are expected to be down a bit but not as much as they were imo. The big factor was watching him early in the season, struggling with making simple passes and just controlling the puck, he didn't impress me at all.

I have to admit, that horse looks prettier than Dr. Henry does.
Attracted to animals eh?

It's partially that, but it's also because (and this is coming straight from the horse's mouth - when Dr. Henry was interviewed on Focus BC on Global BC1 - but paraphrased because I don't recall the exact words she used) at this point it becomes a personal responsibility. She still "highly recommends" masking despite lifting the order, but because recommendations don't come with fines, she can't make it a requirement.
This is one instance where I think think the politicians have their hand on the public health orders. Clearly (as I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread) erring on the side of caution is not in their vernacular or vocabulary.

I don't attribute that as a bad move for Benning at all. Hell, it was widely regarded as a savvy move. Up the coaching and systems to get the value he promoout of him. IMHO.
So same as Loui Eriksson then? I get that wasn't a trade, but any player that a GM aquires and if they don't live up to their expectations, they have to be held accountable somehow.

I guess the idea behind that is with the percentage of people in BC being vaccinated, any hospitalizations from the Delta variant can be handled by the hospitals now that the rate of infection has fallen below a certain point.
Yet, some countries have continued with lockdowns due to the variant.
What's the truth of it all? Who the hell knows.

Canucks landed a big fish in Miller, and Schmidt the following year was an excellent move. Perhaps JB will surprise again.
I'll give credit for Miller but Schmidt..... He underperformed big time imo, I was expecting more out of him and that didn't happen. And hearing rumors now that he wants to be traded out, not really an excellent move there.

Who knows, Chuck. I was in a grocery store and a few restaurants this weekend, and enjoyed not wearing a mask. It was a return to some sense of normalcy.
I totally understand that feeling of normalcy again, and I'm sure it was nice. I'm just a little confused because they say they're worried about the delta variant, but lifting the mask mandatory kind of defeats being worried of the variant now it seems.

I thought this Delta variant was supposedly bad? Or is it just fearmongering by governments now?
Why I say this, because while going grocery shopping on the weekend it was a little shocking imo, seeing people walking around with no masks on since now it's not recommended, but I thought they were worried about this Delta variant... Or is it just not that bad....

Well, in the period most of the people in the unmarked graves were buried and until the Statute of Westminster of 1931 Canada was an integral part of the British Empire with its trade policies and foreign relations largely mandated from London. And the British Empire at that time was much larger than Nazi Germany at the peak of its conquests.
After doing some searching looks like this guy is the culprit of it, but did read that the government supposedly sent him to the USA to investigate first.

Do not be misled by media sensationalism; They are constantly using the term "mass" graves which, to me, implies many many bodies piled on top of one another like those found in the German concentration camps. What I believe they are really meaning is many many individual unmarked graves. The term unmarked while probably accurate is also IMO, a bit misleading as it was common practice to place wooden markers at the head of the burial site. Many of these markers would have degraded over time to the point of not being recognizable and probably eventually removed. I came across this first hand when researching my family tree. I have documentation showing that some of my relatives are buried in this small cemetery in rural Alberta but there are no markers to show where. Even in modern cemetery's there are numerous unmarked graves. The key to all of this would be the burial records that the church should have for the residential schools that were under their control.
Tbh never noticed what the news was calling it at all, just passed my own judgment on how it's feeling in my own mind, I don't think I've watched the news in over a week
. I also started watching some videos on the history of the school system, that were uploaded up years before all these graves are being discovered, I did post one them, it's disgusting what the government did and did not do, and don't get me started on the priests glad I never wanted to go to church as a kid, screw them what a joke. But listening to the survivors in the videos is one of the main reasons I wanted to watch them, for it's what they have to say that is extremely important imo, because they experienced this crap first hand and are basically telling us a picture of what was really going on.

Great. Linking a 47 minute documentary without any opinions of your own on this. Not a single summary from you.
'This' type of information exchange is meaningless. If you don't understand what you're watching or reading, you are essentially regurgitating what you are told. That's not learning.
Wow bud you're a clown

What a joke. If you can't handle a contending opinion that challenges your own view, maybe you shouldn't hold the opinion in the first place, since your ego is so fragile.
Talking to me in this 'tone' shows me that you have no ability to comprehend concepts of scale.
First off, "race motivated" is a problematic term for many reasons. Indigenous people aren't a race. They are a collection of groups from different backgrounds that are all under the umbrella term 'indigenous'. Likewise, Jewish people are not a 'race'. We use these labels to help us understand things, but when you start introducing concepts of 'race', you ignore the shades in between.
Secondly, I never ignored the similarities. myself and others have challenged them. You're the one that isn't able to demonstrate any level of comprehension and rationality.
What a joke is right, isn't that why you quoted me in the first place...
Talking in that tone.... Well when someone else talks in a tone trying to change someone else's opinion because it's not the same as theirs definitely calls for a tone, but I guess you're just used to trying to change and control people's opinions, go figure and can't handle them still not agreeing with your ideas.
Whatever you say bud

What was the government’s purpose for having these residential schools? Sure appears the purpose was to eliminate the Indian way of life. They forced the Indian children out of their community and into a place where they were taught how not to be Indian.
There's a lot of questions that need to be addressed and looked at, this is something that's going to take some time unfortunately, and the more they uncover, the more questions that'll be asked. I'm really livid though at the people who murdered these people, just angers me.

It's not worthy of a comparison, IMHO. I think you should do a closer revision of what you said if you compare it to Hitler.
Millions of deaths towards Jews, Communists, and cripples - anyone not worthy of being "German". There was a system to kill these people via concentration camps and gas chambers. What Canada did was not right, but the comparisons to Hitler is just not accurate.
When you make hyperbolic comparisons like that, you will lack the reference points that make your point valid. For instance, the scale of the deaths for one, are vastly different. There is also no "blame" towards indigenous people for ruining Canada. That was VERY specific in Hitler's rhetoric. It's not Hitler-like. That is just wrong. This is a Canada problem, and it's not unique to other problems within other countries.So you and others who are questioning my opinion are going to try and say this was not a race motivated issue? Not a certain race is being targeted at all? Not like someone has ever done that before... but god forbid if you or anyone tries to compare to them now, you're just exaggerating and you're now allowed to think like that. Get out of here, you and others are not going to tell me how I can feel on the situation, especially when a race is being targeted similar to how other races have been targeted before in the past because of how they look.
If anything what you people are doing is worse, by trying to ignore the similarities to almost not tarish the country or something, are you trying to make it not look as bad or something on purpose? Are you trying to make excuses for them now that it's not as bad or something? Just because they weren't labeled as bad for Canada, it's not as bad as what someone else did now?
And just because they didn't use the same techniques as someone else, the motive is the exact same though, so I don't see why it would be different, it's race motivated.

And that's the kind of hyperbole these issues don't need.
Not exaggerating here, the more they find the more it's starting to look like that, I don't care if you don't want to see it like that, but that's what it's starting to look like, so I'll continue to use my opinion on how I feel fit.

This is like Hitler stuff imo, taking a race and trying to eliminate them, it's bad very bad, and it's going to leave a mark on Canada for a very long time.

This whole Bauer thing is disgusting imo, I see MLB put him on a 7 day administrative leave, but seriously people who are into this kind of fetish assault crap in society is what's wrong to begin with. And then the fact that this lady went back a 2nd time for more punishment after not consenting to the things that happened the first time after bleeding, makes me question her motive now, but still don't agree with what Bauer is allowed to do because society labels this assault stuff as a fetish to get away with it, but there's something wrong in these peoples heads imo.

It was on Youtube. Not sure why SNET didn't have it, unless it's some kind of contract that Youtube has for exclusive rights.
I found the link on MBL.com and apparently, they do a "game of the week" every week. Buck mentioned it on Tuesday night's broadcast, so I was kind of looking for it, but I didn't see much promotion other than that.
My monitor has better resolution than my TV, so the picture was great, but I ran into buffering issues a couple of times and had to restart the feed. There was one stretch where a Mariner hit a slow ground ball to short and the screen froze just as Bichette was getting ready to scoop it.....buy the time I had everything reset, Gurriel had just hit a homer to tie it at 6-6....
This will probably go into the books as another loss for the bullpen, but for my money, this loss is on the hitters. Even though they scored six runs, time and again they failed to produce when they had golden opportunities. (1 run on a Sac fly, when they had bases loaded, nobody out) In fact, they looked a lot like last year's Jays. Far too may swings at pitcher's pitches, when they were in hitter's counts...
Now I look and see that they're down by four in the 6th....
From my experience in the past while watching live feeds online and depending on the Internet you have with the amount of devices running on it at a time, but the video for those are normally set to auto 1080p, so it will try to give you the top quality picture all the time, but if the Internet is being used elsewhere or isn't the strongest buffering and freezing will happen a lot. If you change the video quality to 720p instead of auto it still looks great but it should help with the buffering and freezing issues in the future, and if it still happens try 420p that should work there, but that would then mean you need stronger Internet

Anyone been following the Trevor Bauer allegations? Seems like if he isn't in significant legal/criminal jeopardy his reputation is shot. Reads a lot like the Jian Ghomeshi stuff from 5-6 years ago.
Disturbing details emerge in Trevor Bauer assault allegations
Warning: The following article contains graphic allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault.
One day after news broke that Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer had been accused of assault, details of his accuser's account of their interactions has surfaced.
A domestic violence restraining order filed against Bauer and executed on Monday was obtained by The Athletic's Brittany Ghiroli and Katie Strang. The 67-page document reportedly contains detailed descriptions of two sexual encounters the woman says turned violent, with accompanying graphic images of injuries to her head and body.
The alleged victim was granted a temporary domestic violence restraining order in Los Angeles on Tuesday, with police still investigating the case. MLB said it became aware of the allegations on Tuesday and would look into them.
What Trevor Bauer is accused of doing
In the document obtained by The Athletic, the woman reportedly claims she met Bauer through Instagram, then drove from San Diego to Los Angeles to meet him on April 21. The pair reportedly had sex she described as initially consensual, with Bauer asking her if she had ever been choked. She reportedly said yes, at which point she says Bauer put his hands around her neck and applied light pressure.
The woman reportedly alleges Bauer then put his fingers down her throat, at which point she asked him to stop. Bauer reportedly did, but then she says he wrapped her hair around her neck and choked her unconsciousness without asking for consent.
She says she woke up face down on the bed to Bauer having anal sex with her, something she reportedly never consented to. The woman said she was bleeding from her anus and barely able to walk after, but did not think he was a threat to do anything against her will for the remainder of the night.
The woman claims she told Bauer she didn't enjoy him having anal sex with her the following morning, something she said he seemed to understand.
A woman says she had two sexual encounters with Trevor Bauer, with both resulting in violence to which she did not consent. (Photo by Katelyn Mulcahy/Getty Images)Bauer allegedly invited the woman to his house again on May 15 and asked her to agree on a safe word. Five minutes into sex, she claims he started choking her again to the point of unconsciousness. When she awoke, she says Bauer was punching her head several times, with blows to her left jaw, left side of her head and both cheekbones. After punching her, she says he flipped her onto her stomach and choked her again to unconsciousness.
The woman says she started crying and shaking violently when she woke up with pain behind both her ears, to which Bauer allegedly reacted by repeatedly saying “You’re safe. I’m here. You’re safe.” He then allegedly scratched her back and whispered to her “I would never do those things to you if it wasn’t sexually.”
To back up her account, the woman reportedly provided multiple pictures to the court showing her face visibly bruised with two black eyes, a bloodied lip and scratches to the side of her face. She has also reportedly provided text messages and voicemails from Bauer afterward to the court.
The woman reportedly underwent two medical evaluations following her second encounter with Bauer, including a trip to the emergency room a day after the second encounter where she underwent rapid CT scans of her brain, face and neck. She said her medical notes indicated “significant head and facial trauma” with signs of a basilar skull fracture.
Pasadena police investigating Bauer
After giving an account of her time with Bauer to an emergency room psychiatrist and doctor, the woman reportedly met with multiple detectives with the San Diego Police Department. She says she initially downplayed the incident as "rough sex" and didn't provide Bauer's name due to fear of potential repercussions.
From The Athletic:
“I was afraid what Trevor would do if he found out,” the woman said in her account. “I remain afraid that Trevor will find me and hurt me for going to the hospital.”
The Pasadena Police Department reportedly directed the woman to text Bauer, who was allegedly texting the woman "nonstop" asking about her well-being, and ask to speak over the phone. As the police recorded the call, she reportedly asked him "What did you do to me when I was unconscious?" Bauer allegedly admitted to repeatedly punching her in the buttocks, but changed the subject when she told him she did not consent to that.
A Pasadena police officer confirmed to The Athletic that the matter is still under active investigation, but the woman said in her account that she was concerned about the pace of the investigation:
“I am deeply concerned that no arrest has been made or charges filed,” she said in the document.
“One of the last text messages I sent him was, ‘I appreciate all of your offers to help, but the best way you can help me is to never do that to anyone else ever again.’ To this, Trevor responded, ‘I would never do anything to hurt anyone. That includes you.’”
Bauer's side of the story
Minutes after posting an initial report on the allegations against Bauer, a statement from Bauer's agent Jon Fetterolf was sent to Yahoo Sports addressing the allegations. Here is the full statement, in which it is conceded Bauer had rough sex with the woman, but claimed that it was all consensual.
The statement initially included the last name of the alleged victim, which was included in her filing with the Los Angeles Superior Court, but Yahoo Sports has chosen to withhold her name:
Mr. Bauer had a brief and wholly consensual sexual relationship initiated by [the alleged victim] beginning in April 2021. We have messages that show [the alleged victim] repeatedly asking for “rough” sexual encounters involving requests to be “choked out” and slapped in the face. In both of their encounters, [the alleged victim] drove from San Diego to Mr. Bauer’s residence in Pasadena, Calif. where she went on to dictate what she wanted from him sexually and he did what was asked. Following each of her only two meetings with Mr. Bauer, [the alleged victim] spent the night and left without incident, continuing to message Mr. Bauer with friendly and flirtatious banter. In the days following their second and final encounter, [the alleged victim] shared photos of herself and indicated that she had sought medical care for a concussion. Mr. Bauer responded with concern and confusion, and [the alleged victim] was neither angry nor accusatory.
Mr. Bauer and [the alleged victim] have not corresponded in over a month and have not seen each other in over six weeks. Her basis for filing a protection order is nonexistent, fraudulent, and deliberately omits key facts, information, and her own relevant communications. Any allegations that the pair’s encounters were not 100% consensual are baseless, defamatory, and will be refuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Marc Garelick, a lawyer representing the woman, said in his own statement that they anticipate criminal action being taken against Bauer.
. I also started watching some videos on the history of the school system, that were uploaded up years before all these graves are being discovered, I did post one them, it's disgusting what the government did and did not do, and don't get me started on the priests glad I never wanted to go to church as a kid, screw them what a joke.
