Granted I don't go out to the few clubs that are left anymore, but a few years ago went to an early evening concert at Marquee. When the concert was over and the regular Saturday night cowd started filing in, the 10 man Police gang suppression team also showed up and deliberately did a couple laps to be seen and to do a sweep, relatively early in the night. First time I'd ever seen that at a Calgary bar in my lifetime.
So, generalization or not, there are definitely some who frequent that place that are on police radar and probably also have no issue in settling issues with a gun.
Calgary had a higher homocide rate in 2014 than Regina. When did our city become this dangerous? What a senseless tragedy.
The serious violent crime rate in Calgary is much lower than Regina and has been for a very long time. Although violent crime has increased in recent years in Calgary, a person is generally much safer here than in Regina from violent crime.
Homicide stats are a pretty terrible way to gauge how dangerous a city is. One attack could kill multiple people (for example in 2014, four people died in a single stabbing attack in Calgary).

Always intrigued at this time of year the guys teams bring in with pratice rosters expanded.
The Calgary Stampeders have added international quarterback Nick Arbuckle, international receiver Devonte Robinson, international defensive back Joel Ross and international defensive linemen Perez Ford, Josh Francis and Jason Neill to the practice roster.
Nice!! I like him better than Shawn Lemon. With Frank Beltre still hurting we might see this guy play sooner than later. Not sure he'll join this weekend game yet vs Hamilton but maybe another week of practice.
I have a feeling they rest him for a week. Harrison isn't anything special but like most teams the Stamps have been passing much more than years past so I don't see this as anything they can't overcome.
Mayo done for the season (out 4 to 6 months) with a knee injury (underwent surgery yesterday). Better news regarding Shane Bergman, DD says the injury doesn't appear to be too serious.

Once again, have to feel thankful for the Stamps having one of the best personnel departments. Really sucks to lose Mayo, but with Glenn Love ready to step in they should be "OK". So much depth on this team, especially when you consdier how they get raided every year of top end talent.

Mayo seems to always get injured at the end of the year...doesnt he?
I seem to remember at least two other years where he was out before playoffs?
Not sure who you're thinking of, Mayo has played in all playoffs last 3 years. He's missed like 1 games the previous 3 seasons. He's been as durable as they come. Unlucky break here.

“The team made the decision to cover the shoulder patch worn by the players on the field for the remainder of the 2016 season to acknowledge last month’s tragic loss of Mylan Hicks,” said Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel. “The Stampeders’ black jersey has been very popular with many of our fans and players since we became the first CFL team to wear an alternate jersey in 1994 and it will remain an important part of our identity. Following the season, we will review all options in regards to potential changes to the design of the jersey.”
