  1. Need to fix their return game, not getting enough/any big return yardage. Gets cold on the prairies , and Hamilton, home of this year's Grey Cup is very cold as well. Fix the running game, they'll need it in Oct and Nov.
  2. Lions got beat, bad. 54 run yards, no where near good enough. for Hamilton James Butler "Hickok" ran for 118 on 21 carries, also caught 3 for 36 yards.
  3. But only last year matters. no other context allowed. It has been decreed, so it must be.
  4. Only last year matters- I learned that from a poster in this thread. So Miller's deal sucks, as he signed for big money, and his point totals crashed. Only last season matters.
  5. This lady had beliefs- but one of them wasn't in math. "Hey, you certainly will die without a transplant' "But I might die if I'm vaccinated" "No you won't, the odds are absolutely miniscule that you would even have a reaction bad enough to make you bed ridden for a couple of days" "I'd rather die of organ failure, than run that tiny, tiny, risk that the vaccine will make me ill". Ok lady, go ahead and die. Bad math.
  6. Guy signs a big contract, and his points total plunges. Pretending that only last year matters means Miller's deal was bad, just as signing A.M to a max hit deal, after a bad year is a bad deal. Remember- only last season matters- .
  7. She chose death, rather than a vaccine; https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/woman-who-tried-to-take-covid-transplant-fight-to-supreme-court-dies/ar-AA1fMTxO?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=af4b3e6e230e4810a50920199e41f27f&ei=52 " An Alberta woman who tried to take her fight over COVID vaccine requirements for organ transplants all the way to the Supreme Court has died. The former lawyer for Sheila Annette Lewis confirmed her death Friday. "Ms. Lewis was a real true believer in fighting for personal rights and freedoms," said Allison Pejovic, who was in touch with her former client's son. Lewis was diagnosed with a terminal disease in 2018 and was told she would not survive unless she received an organ transplant. She was placed on a transplant wait list in 2020, but was informed a year later she would need to get the COVID-19 vaccine first. Lewis said taking the vaccine would offend her conscience and argued the requirement violated her Charter rights. The case was dismissed by an Alberta court, which said the Charter has no application to clinical treatment decisions. The Supreme Court also turned down her application for a hearing. Pejovic remembered Lewis as someone with strong beliefs. "She was very strong and very principled," Pejovic said. But Pejovic said away from the media glare, Lewis was more interested in other people than court battles. "Whenever I would speak with her, even after our case was finished, she was always interested in what other people were doing. She had a very kind heart." There is a publication ban on the doctors' identities, the organ involved and the location of the transplant program.
  8. Like the Miller deal signed a deal, making him the team highest cap hit player, while having a 99 point season, and regressed to 82 points.
  9. Todays game @ noon pacific Jays 1.5 out of a wild card spot. Ryu 2-1 1.89 era Allen 6-6 3.31 era Yesterday, prior to the loss, Buck was saying they needed to win 12 of their next 15, to make up ground and get a bit of a cushion. Now they have to go 12-2 to get there. Maybe Cito would be willing to finish this season as manager? Then rebuild the organization during the off season. Can't keep letting the years go by.
  10. Life jackets, save lives; and in many places it is mandated by law, that they be worn in small boats.
  11. https://theprovince.com/news/local-news/b-c-ferries-contractors-damage-archeological-site-on-hornby-island "B.C. Ferries officials met Wednesday with First Nations representatives after company contractors disturbed a large shell midden at a historic village site at Shingle Spit on Hornby Island. B.C. Ferries is concerned and very disturbed about what happened at the environmentally and culturally sensitive site on Aug. 18, Brian Anderson, vice-president of strategy and community engagement, said following the meeting. K’omoks First Nation chief and council members said in a statement that the area is a well-documented, significant archeological site. “It was a major ancestral K’omoks settlement and it is the largest shell midden on Hornby Island.” It was the latest damage at Clack da oo (Shingle Spit), which has suffered “irreversible impacts in the past,” they said. In spring 2021, a nearby construction project uncovered Indigenous human remains. The Nation is disappointed when it hears that work is being done in its territory without following its cultural heritage policy, they said. “It is our duty to protect our ancestral remains and cultural heritage in accordance with our cultural beliefs and stewardship obligations,” they said. B.C. Ferries hired contractors to do work to support installing a water cistern at the terminal. A water shortage had led to washroom closures, it said. When B.C. Ferries learned of what happened to the midden, contractors were ordered to stop work. Senior ferries officials went to the Hornby to see the situation in person. Anderson said B.C. Ferries is deeply committed to reconciliation and respectful relationships with First Nations partners. Wednesday’s meeting was arranged to speak with K’omoks and with Qualicum First Nation leaders, walk the site and answer questions, he said “Further meetings will take place next week with the Nations once they have had time to review the outcome of today’s meeting and determine how best to remediate the sensitive site.” All work involving ground disturbance or tree removal must have a written project plan, Anderson said. This plan would include a review of any potential cultural or archeological significance, which would be factored into the planning. “That did not occur in this situation,” he said. “We’ve taken immediate action to investigate how this situation occurred and what steps are necessary to prevent this type of situation from happening again.” B.C. Ferries president Nicolas Jimenez said on Tuesday that he was concerned about what had happened. The company wants to “understand ourselves where our processes broke down such that this work began without the proper approvals and awareness within the company that it was happening.” Community residents are unhappy that not only was the midden damaged but that a mature arbutus tree was taken out as well, said Christina Laffin, who is staying at her family home on Hornby. “It was a real shock to community members on Hornby and seemed like yet another example of construction/destruction moving ahead without attention to the K’omoks First Nation and their rights and heritage.” The midden was effectively demolished, she said. That sparked a community group to meet at the site on Monday to express their concerns. Middens hold discarded remains of human activities over hundreds or thousands of years, the Royal B.C. Museum said. Shell middens hold many shells of clams, oysters and mussels, from human meals. Archeological sites are protected on public and private lands under B.C.’s Heritage Conservation Act.
