FFS the argos are crying.

Sure it’s faulty but still pretty compelling. Why would anyone gamble with their son’s health. Seems a no brainer to me. Especially when teenagers don’t really have the maturity to weigh the risks
Considering high school and college players represent a majority of the mild cases, it’s worth noting how devastating even mild cases can be: 85% of players with mild CTE had clinical symptoms that worsened over time, and 96% had behavioral and/or mood symptoms. About two thirds (67%) had symptoms of depression and just over half (52%) had anxiety symptoms. A majority also showed the following symptoms:
- 89% demonstrated impulsivity.
- 69% felt hopelessness.
- 67% had an explosive temper.
- 67% had substance use disorders.
- 63% were verbally abusive toward others.
- 56% experienced strong suicidal thoughts.

I dont love or hate football. Why risk cte for 50k.
CTE was diagnosed in 177 former players or nearly 90 per cent of brains studied. That includes seven of eight brains from former CFL players; 3 of 14 high school players
like i say. They should cry and so should spectators for condoning this sport. Would you let your son play football?

"Trudeau said while everyone knew Downie's death was coming, they hoped it was not.
"It hurts," he said, his eyes red as tears streamed down his face.
Trudeau ordered the flags on the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill and at all federal government buildings in Downie's hometown of Kingston, Ont. to be lowered to half-mast until sunset on the day of the funeral or memorial service."

Get a grip Trudeau, you've got a country to run. Sheesh.

BREAKING NEWS! Staring at the sun will cause blindness!

If I'm not mistaken, Trump had said: "Not all protesters were supremacists."
CBC stream line news reports that Trump said, "not all protesters were white nationalists."
Like as if, being a white nationalist is automatically the same thing as being a supremacist.

A Christian is allowed to refuse gay tenant's boyfriend to stay overnight because homosexuality is against God's will.
I know Christian types like to think they're treated unfairly by our progressive (and godless) Canadian political and legal system, so this story ought to bring some comfort.

In the U.S., a 2014 Pew Research Center study shows, Muslim Americans are less accepting of homosexuality than Americans as a whole: 47 percent of U.S. Muslims said it should be discouraged and 45 percent said it should be accepted.
But they were not the religious group that was most disapproving: Evangelical Christians, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons oppose homosexuality by larger margins.
Looks like some would and some wouldn't.

Our military is building a camp at Quebec border to house surge of asylum seekers. Could this be the next Calais

This is Canada, not the United States (we are more humane than Trump), let's hope it stays that way:
“I’ll be your tour guide,” one RCMP officer inside the bus could be heard joking.
“There’s the United States; this is Canada.”
“As soon as people arrive (in Montreal), not only do we find them a place to stay but we make sure it’s safe, that they have the meals they need and that it’s hygienic,” Dupuis said.
“We try to keep families together.”

I just like to call out online bullys when I see them. Ditto for schoolyard bullys.

Going to buy sunglasses for the eclipse of the sun. Hope it offers protection from the miniaturised nuclear warhead. Trump should be scaring the hell out of every Canadian.

@bush_cheney2004 this is what everyone is worried about. His hands are probably small enough to handle those buttons.
