Wab taking a cue from other Conservative premiers by immediately jumping on surface-level headlines to establish a narrative instead of fulfilling his promise to fund and resource the provincial justice system is abhorrent

Premier Wab Kinew condemned a Supreme Court ruling that rejected mandatory minimum sentences for possessing child pornography, saying not only should pedophiles serve jail time, “they should bury you under the prison.”

The far right radicalization of young men is a serious issue. Fanning male rage was a big part of the MAGA movement and is part of the game plan on the Polievre Conservatives.
In my latest piece I discuss the toxic impacts on schools and democracy.

Young Men in the Hate-o-Sphere

Recently, CBC ran a story about how the Poilievre Conservatives are touring Canadian universities to build support among young men.

Oh man, elbows aren't supposed to bend that way. That sucks for Daniels

WPGChief @wpgchief.bsky.social · 1d

...okay? Sure, irregularities like that can happen infrequently but also assuredly happen to others too.

I'll just come back to the original statement. I do not think the Jets are a better team without Ehlers - they certainly haven't shown that thus far - even accounting for 17/91/54's injuries.

Part of that is the pleasure of having 37 behind you. But it's risky being so top-heavy with depending on the top line, pair, and PP unit to do nearly all of your scoring against easy schedule.

That being said: can only play the teams in front of you, and hopefully returns balance things out soon.

Yes, since Vilardi got the monkey off his back, that line has been creating dangerous chance after chance and are converting. In terms of every team's last 5GP using 55 as a proxy, he's at 17.22 HDCF/60 (33rd) and 3.9 xGF/60 (21st). But that's only good for 50% in both, but 63% in actual GF%.

I know: still no 17, 54, nor 91, they’re all coming back soon, and yesterday’s game vs PIT was a good showing. But the statement alone irks me.

81-55-13 at 5v5 has 12 goals with a barely 50% xGF% - the next line is 7-19-9 with 3GF at 41% xGF%. This team doesn’t look great without Ehlers at all.

From last place in the AL East (and otherwise not living up to the hype for many other seasons prior), to being a millisecond and millimetre away from winning it all, ultimately losing to one of the best pitching performances ever. That's a stinger, for sure

I don’t watch baseball because I know 95% of baseball games aren’t like this. But damn. This is top 1% of sports games I’ve watched in a while

Wonder how many of the players on those respective lines will be retiring. And yeah, bring Zach back to finish out his contract and hopefully convince Elgersma to be his backup and learn on transitioning to the CFL. But get Hogan and Hall away from this entire operation ASAP

Bombers season finishes with a poorly designed and thrown dump pass to Oliveira and then an interception. Kinda fitting, tbh

#0 Cam Allen is the worst offender for this. Dude only "tackles" by launching his shoulder or back into opposing players, and he just bounces off of them. Make a fucking tackle

WPGChief @wpgchief.bsky.social · 2d

The problem with dressing this many LBs is that they don't know how to wrap their arms to make a fucking tackle

WPGChief @wpgchief.bsky.social · 2d

Based on how many LBs they’re dressing, I’m going to wager the line will be mostly asked to play contain and dare Alexander to throw into coverage or disguise as many blitz packages as possible

I can forgive them for bringing back Collaros - even him at 37 is still better than most CFL backups - but they clearly did not give him an offensive scheme that protected him both literally in terms of an offensive line and figuratively in terms of a playcalling that exposed his faults

...it always seems like Bombers are a year-or-two late on making the hard choices of cutting them, instead valuing the "FIFO" locker room culture. Unfortunately, seems like too many of those aging problems culminated in the same season they're hosting the Cup and opted for "one last run". (2/2)
