CFL Picks Week 11
It’s Labour Day weekend! Classic rivalries and classic upsets usually define the games played this week.
Thursday: Ottawa at Montreal. Ottawa nearly gave it away last week after Lulay came in, but managed to hang on and win. Have they figured it out? I’m picking the RedBlacks.
Sunday: Winnipeg at Saskatchewan. As I mentioned last week, the Bombers is the team to watch in the latter half of the season. I’m going to have to amend that to include the Riders after their performance in Edmonton last week. The Bombers already had their win at Mosaic this year, I’m going with the Riders.
Monday: Edmonton at Calgary. The Eskimos were in tough last week, the Stamps did what they do. They’ll continue this trend this week.
Monday: Toronto at Hamilton. The TiCat’s had a horrible week in which they managed to lose again without playing a game. They’ll win this week and perhaps begin to repair the damage done to their fan-base.

Ladies Of The Flies
QOTD.
We already have an all-female "Lord of the Flies." It's called "The View." And it sucks.

Wynneing!
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature: Half of Grade 6 students fail to meet Ontario math standards.
That said, I very much doubt it’s better in the rest of Canada.

Subject: Manitoba reservations unpaid MB Hydro bill for years
The Winnipeg Free Press Aug 10, 2017 reporting of 18 families not paying rent since 1996 was interesting.
This story of unpaid bills is nothing, but the tip of the iceberg.
Ask Manitoba Hydro, and President & CEO Kelvin Shepherd, and Manitoba Hydro Electric Board Chairman Sandy Riley, about unpaid electric bills, and free electricity for years for some customers.
They have been running around telling everyone how bad the financial situation is at hydro. Then ask them, when will these unpaid electric bills will be paid.
When will electric service be disconnected?
Ask long time former Manitoba Hydro President & CEO Bob Brennan. Ask NDP and Conservative Manitoba provincial politicians.
Start with the Cross Lake, Manitoba reservation.
Hmmm…
When The Democrats Do It, That Means That It’s Not Suspicious
Imran Awan’s still-active email address is linked to the name of a House staffer who specializes in intelligence and homeland security matters for Indiana Democratic Rep. André Carson. Court documents and emails obtained by TheDCNF show Awan used the address 123@mail.house.gov in addition to his standard imran.awan@mail.house.gov account. […]
Until last year, email addresses were created by individual offices, but now members have to request HIR to set up new addresses. Carson’s office is not showing any concern that an indicted IT guy apparently set up a secret email address using the name of his deputy chief of staff, who is also his top intelligence staffer, and that the account is still active. Since the account was still accepting emails as of Tuesday afternoon, it appears Carson’s office has not alerted anyone of the security vulnerability.
A Democratic IT aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of job concerns, told TheDCNF that Awan and Carson used to play video games together in Carson’s office, and that he had been teaching Carson a foreign language. Gail did not dispute either claim.
Or interesting.

In & Out of the Leftist Echo Chamber
Watching the news of late, it has become clear that many people on the Left, and most in the mainstream media, are cheerleaders for Antifa. In searching for an explanation of this phenomenon, three different items came to the fore:

Oh, Shiny Prime Minister!
A Liberal MP accused of sexually harassing a young female staffer offered to pay her $100,000 to stay quiet about her allegations, the woman’s father says.
The father outlined his daughter’s allegations against Darshan Kang, an MP from Calgary, during an interview Monday with the Star. He spoke on condition that their names not be published.
He said over a period of four to five years, Kang gave his daughter unwelcome hugs, held and stroked her hand during car rides, and once brought her in a taxi to an Ottawa apartment, where he allegedly offered her wine and pulled at her jacket to try to get her to take it off. The next day he followed her to her hotel and tried to get into her room to talk, the woman’s father alleged.
He said that Kang subsequently offered her a series of payments, which escalated to a total of $100,000, to prevent her from sharing the allegations with her parents.
Always believe the woman.
“Ve Haff Ways Of Making You Green”
While the notion of mandatory energy audits is just at the lobbying stage nationally, for Ontario residents it is soon to become a harsh reality. As laid out in the province’s current climate change plan, beginning in 2019: “energy audits [will] be required before a new or existing single-family home can be listed for sale, and the energy rating will be included in the real estate listing.”

Don’t suggest, don’t simply raise his moral failings and sketchy associations as a debating point, because the left doesn’t debate — they only advance.
So, just cleanse.. Now.
And no, I’m not joking. Make them scream, make them rage and ultimately, make them play by their own rules: make them defend the preservation of their own offensive monuments to their own deplorable histories.
