Always looking forward to the next vacation. I love football, CFL in particular, am a political junkie, Operations Manager for Kopar Administration.

@Dave_Eby Do you know why they are leaving? Same reason businesses are ditching BC. If only you were as passionate about saving jobs and businesses that aren’t a professional sports team. Why does this private business get special treatment?

@CraveHelp I’m on Crave standalone. Playback stopped around 9:20 PM PT and now all titles fail with error 5005/900 on both Samsung TV and mobile app. Reinstalling apps did not resolve

What a pity !

I'm arranging a theatrical tour of Canada this Fall, and now I won't be able to risk doing any shows in British Columbia

I was really looking forward to coming

@RoughriderFan13 We are going to need to talk… I didn’t watch as my Seahawks were playing, but I can’t see Mr CFL-sucks being a breathe of fresh air.

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

@ravira @CFLonTSN Same issue in BC from streaming.

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

@Safimod @CFLonTSN Maybe the commish should work on getting his former employer to increase production values rather than changing rules.

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

Maybe @CFL commissioner Stewart should look to fix broadcast problems like @CFLonTSN glitching out for large chunks of the game to make it not look bush league during our biggest game of the season and less worrying about rule changes.

Everything Mark Carney touches turns to shit

Both Canadian teams lost in the finals after Mark Carney visited them

It's time to vote this clown out of office

[NHL Watcher @NHL_Watcher]

This Sportsnet host just said the better team did not win, "I don't give a shit if it sounds like sour grapes", exact quote.

What a sore loser, this is why I like rooting against Toronto teams, to watch Sportsnet and TSN cry.

Unprofessional losers.

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

@Dave_Eby I seem to be missing your congrats for BC’s own @WhitecapsFC and @BCLions or does BC not matter to you?

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

@SpruceKings Love it!

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

Anyone know what the score is in the @SpruceKings game?

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

@MLB Will the @Dodgers and the @MLB issue an apology to Canadians for that sad performance?

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

And even higher now!! Anyone in BC can play to win - just know your limit!

My question to the @CFL Board of Governors seems to be the same as the University of McGill. Are they chipping in to cover the costs?

[Jeremy Filosa 🎙 @JeremyFilosa]

Je viens de parler à des gens de l'Université McGill.

On dit être 'perplexe' par rapport à l'annonce d'hier de la @CFL .

Étant donné leur budget limité accordé aux sports, il serait 'préférable' que les @MTLAlouettes ou la LCF assume la facture.

En 2013, la surface avait été changée pour 1,4M$.
On estimerait qu'aujourd'hui, seulement le changement de surface couterait au moins 2M$.

Les lignes sur le terrain du stade ne sont pas peintes, ou tracées avec de la craie, elles sont cousues dans le turf. C'est donc dire qu'il faudrait tout remplacer.

On ne sait pas non plus ce qui adviendrait de cette situation si la ligue universitaire n'adoptait pas les nouveaux règlements.

Le Stade Percival Molson demeure principalement le domicile des Red Birds de McGill.

On se dit tout de même soulagé que les changements n'arrivent pas en 2026, mais bien pour 2027, dans le but de trouver la meilleure possible solution.

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

Best answer to the whole @CFL rule change! I’m down for this!!

[Lauren Roberts @LVRoberts]

Instead of 100 yard field now may be the time for 100 metre field! #CFL

[Ken Newell @kafnewell]

@LVRoberts You win the internet!! Best response to the whole situation!!

[Peter Dyakowski @PeterDyakowski]

TSN itself confirms the CFL's changes will substantially alter employment conditions by reducing the market value of kickers, their earning potential, and career length. The current CBA was negotiated predicated upon long-established norms. Major deviations must be negotiated.
