Re: Roughriders at Lions, September 24, 2021

Nothing wrong with our current logo. Let's keep it as is. While a recent 3 Down Nation poll of CFL logos placed us 5th overall among the 9 teams (there's no accounting for taste), it was the least polarizing among respondents with 1-point and 5-point scores accounting for just 10.1 percent of overa...

Re: Roughriders at Lions, September 24, 2021

J.J. Adams of The Province says Peters is expected to appeal his suspension and play on Friday. That is good news but it would be nice to get a bit more info on what happened. I assume Peters passed the random drug test but I wonder what happened with the interaction with the drug test administrato...

Re: 2021 Canadian Federal Election Thread

With many mail-in votes still to be counted, the turnout for this election was an excellent 70%, according to CTV just now.

The sea of blue in Alberta has been broken by one small Liberal dot--elected in Calgary and another one leading in Edmonton. 2 NDP are also 1 elected and 1 leading in Edmonton.

Re: 2021 Canadian Federal Election Thread

Will Jason Kenny's handling of the pandemic going to hurt the federal Conservatives ? I don't think it had much affect in Alberta itself (they still voted the same federally) but it may have pushed undecided voters in other provinces away from the CPC. Alberta's COVID response (declare it over and ...

Re: Roughriders at Lions, September 24, 2021

The Lions have hit it out of the park with this. A shame there can’t be more than 12,500 in the stands but I get it even with the vaccine passport. I guess this is where we differ. I don't get it. With a vaccine passport required before entry and masks required, what is the difference between 12,50...

Re: Roughriders at Lions, September 24, 2021

I like the logo but frankly I am confused. How many times in recent years have we heard those words about "expropriation of culture"? I mean if we take those charges seriously, what conclusion are we to draw here? We have heard it in reference to the Seahawks, the Thunderbirds etc. etc. I...

Re: Roughriders at Lions, September 24, 2021

More detail of the shirt here: https://www.bclions.com/next-home-game/ I'm of two minds about the logo. It actually does look a lot fiercer than the current "stoned lion" . (One of the reasons I like the 1978 Lion I use for my avatar--the colors make it more menacing). The native art versi...

Yes, Dr. Henry said last week it will be "late Fall, early Winter" before capacity restrictions are likely to be loosened/lifted. Even with vaccination card requirement in effect, there has to be a dramatic decrease in positive cases, but most importantly hospitalizations, before this will...
