Apparently Manitoba politicians couldn't help but want to show the rest of Canada that they can be just as dumb and undignified as the politicians in any other Canadian legislature.
Good grief. Are these the best people we could find to represent all of us?

TSN 3 showing the 2019 Grey Cup Game again. The Bombers return to glory after 29 years in the wilderness.
If there's one football game from the last 10-15 years that I could watch over and over again, it would probably be this one.

I feel like I just witnessed the greatest ever achievement by Canada in rugby - a win over New Zealand in the semifinals of the Women's Rugby World Cup.
The men have had their moments (1991/1995) and the women were losing finalists in 2014 and have 2 Olympic medals, but this is something else.
