Grey Cup CVII

We have waited 29 years for this moment:

Quote:
A historic first by Andrew Harris ended the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' dubious championship drought and continued the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' Grey Cup misery.

The 32-year-old Winnipeg native scored rushing and receiving TDs as the Bombers stunned Hamilton 33-12 in the 107th Grey Cup before 35,439 spectators at McMahon Stadium.

Thanks quizzical. There are other Winnipeggers and Manitobans on this board, so this is just as much for them as for me.

It was a well desrved victory. Happy for Winnipeg and Manitoba.

I thought it was weird that the PM didn't attend. Seems like a huge social faux pas.

I listened to tweets of it a few times and what I seemed to hear was as much cheering as booing. I know it has been widely reported but for myself I did not hear it more one way than another and in this polarized climate I think all politicians at senior government levels can expect such a mixed reaction. Not that I would dislike any booing...

It was a good game for the Bombers. I can't figure out how to post a picture of Kenney. Literally a walking advertisement for Calgary's oil and gas oligarchy. A new low in blatant political theater. At least its easy to see who owns him.

Take the man at his word and give him a glass. He's thirsty.

So this is old news, but it is quite clear that the bubble city idea is not happening this year. Had that gone through, it would have given a new meaning to the term "facemask viotlation."
