Sabres Fan in NS

Hey @Wyldnwoody44, say hi to Vlad and Frankie for me when you get to Transylvania.

BOSNA!! 😎

Ray didn’t have it tonight. It happens. The good news is that both the Yankees and Red Sox lost too.

Ray for sure.

You'd be Thorny too if your mum named you Thorny, eh.

Damn!! Arrived just as cooler heads had prevailed. I was so in the mood for a good brawl.

Damn!!

They got the brooms out in the Bronx yesterday. Best result possible for the Jays, except the Sox beat the Rays on Sunday. 1/2 game out to the Yankees with a game in hand. 1.5 games back of the Sox, with 3 in hand. The Jays are in control of their own destiny.

Thanks. I found them doing Brown Eyed Women and the first 2 minutes while some were tuning the others just jammed. Just like the Dead did. They are okay, but I have to agree that there is no improv there. The Dead live was all about improvision. They know the music, but may be best in the studio if they ever find themselves there. I think you know what I mean.

They are really good. How are they at playing Dead classics? I suppose I could check for myself, but maybe you can let me know if it's worth the investment of time. Thanks.

Anderson, unless something drastic happens. I don't think that a goalie is coming back in any John trade. I am back on the John won't be traded anytime soon train.

I moved to the 'country', which is about 45 minutes to down town Halifax. There seems to be no rules atoll. None. Zip. Nadda. Zilch. Just about every night we here the Bocat(s), Coyote(s) or Weasel(s) in the hen house. Roos do there thing day and night. Never seem to at dawn, though.

Maybe it was by design? You know a current Girgs in a flashback with Roysie and Pommsie and the slugsie. What a nightmare.

Canada 🇨🇦 with a huge win tonight. 3 - nil over El Salvador. This side has a chance to qualify for the finals. Canada has qualified once … 1986 Mexico.

JAYS!! Red Sox 😢

There are a fringe element that are very far right wing, but still overall Canada is a very centrist country. So, there are still reasonable (the majority I'd say) that still cling to the old PC (Progressive Conservative) roots of the party ... typically socially progressive and fiscally conservative. That said, there are some that would ban abortion and oppose same sex rights. So, far official party platform has not gone there and I would say it won't for some time yet. In order to win any election they have to secure enough progressive votes in Ontario, which means staying pretty much to the centre - right of the spectrum. An ultra concervative who lost the last leadership contest started his own party. Maxime Bernier and the Peoples Party of Canada. Now he is a whack job and he is polling at around 5%, but the way the system works here that will translate to zero seats. Now, if we ever get a form of proportional representation here, then his party would be represented. I have to be willing to take the good and the bad in that system, which I want.

NO. IT. ISN'T!!

I get all that. It's a slippery slope. If you do not get the vaccine then you must do as I do and not do anything basically. You cannot expect to have your life back as it was pre-COVID. The problem is that very few of the non-vaccinated are like me. I still do not like the idea of mandates, but it's a problem. I think that there are enough vaccinated, or almost, and this thing appears to be burning itself out, as most SARS / COVID viruses do. I can only really talk about here in NS, but even with the increase in cases with Delta the people with it do not seem to be very sick. We have about 75 cases (not a lot compared to many places) and not a singe one in hospital. I realize that is not the case everywhere. Anyway, good luck to everyone on this. And thanks for the not naked shopping, on behalf of your neighbours ... lol

Wrong thread????? I love the Roos ... yup!!

JAYS and RAYS!! 😎

Welcome!! Sent you a beer. Don’t be crashing onto tables from yonder heights. It is just plain dumb.

We do. You must see the difference between the mandatory children vaccines and mandatory COVID vaccines for adults? We have choices in this country. I am not anti-vaccine, but I am more pro-choice. This clown pranced around professing your body, your choice. What a hypocrite. I was equating this dictatorial stance with Stalin the dictator, but now that you bring it up … anyone that sells arms to Israel, Saudi and others certainly has blood on their hands.

I do expect more. Thinking around 80. Still not good, but basically a .500 team.

Hey, Carter was good for us the for the first 10 games of each year he was with the Sabres. Except last year and the year before that.

Trudeau has really messed this thing up. He is in a virtual tie with the Conservatives nationally. Trudeau is still projeted to win the most seats based on where the strong Liberal support is (Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada ... it is slipping in Ontario and Atlantic Canada and if that continues he will not be Prime Minister after this election). The latest projections show maybe a 10 seat difference between the two main parties, which will mean that the lesser parties (especially the NDP and PQ) will really hold a lot of power to prop up either the Liberals, or Conservatives, no matter which party tries to govern. As it stands now we are most likely to have a very weak Minority government, which may be called a Coalition govenment if it ends up being a Liberal + NDP setup. If it is a very slim minority government for either the Liberals, or Conservatives (basically a tie, which is very possible) the governing Liberals will be given first crack at forming a government. I am glad that this arrogant Trudeau and his early election call has back fired on him big time. He wanted his Majority back and it looked promising at the start, but peoople are really tired of him, but not really ready to hand it completely over to the other guy. Most people are really fed up and are saying why are we having this election. He is desparate and really becoming unhinged in his campaigning. He is proposing things that are straight out of Stalin style dictatorship, especially around vaccines. His proposal to mandate vaccination is against the Constitution, IMO. My wife and I decided due to COVID to sign up for mail in ballots. We filed them out over the weekend and I Express Posted them this morning. For once we did not cancel out each others vote ... lol!! I was not going to vote Liberal and I spent some time considering my options. In the end I could not vote Conservative for one reason in particular, but overall I just don't trust them to be socially responsible. I have been voting Green, but the Green Party federally is a mess right now. I ended up voting NDP and I feel good about it. I have supported them in the past. I like their overall platform for the most part ... Centre Left. The one issue that sealed it for me was their pledge to stop selling arms to Israel, Saudi and a number of other evil empires that use these weapons mostly on civilians. Since our riding has historically voted Conservative I expect their candidate to unseat the Liberal incumbent pretty easily. This is a very important election for Canada and is going to be interesting to watch how it all works out, for once.
