It’s so gross, especially when you consider how many light-skinned black people there are out there who get their own ethnicity denied by white people because they aren’t black enough... Jackson LITERALLY BEING ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE (though his was from a medical condition, and not, say, a quirk of genetics)

this is one of those moments where i both love and hate this country for its social ineptitude

Mighty Morphin’ Power Racist

How, how, HOW is this woman a human rights lawyer and journalist? Also, the original article has been replaced with a half-assed apology post by the author herself, saying that “[her] intentions [were] 100% pure” and that she “never imagined that [her] work [would] annoy so many people.” You know what she could have…

Honestly? I just wanna be stuck in the ground, no embalming, no coffin (unless I die in some radioactive incident; I don’t wanna ruin a huge chunk of land by being selfish about death rates). You know, feed vultures, help plants grow, etc.

oh, believe me. as a canadian child i had FAR too much exposure to the delightfully bizarre fruits of Concerned Children’s Advertisers’ loins. sometimes i just start singing that drugs drugs drugs jingle, or i’m all THIS IS THE SOUND A T-REX MAKES

You know, in spite of being Canadian and personally knowing at least 3 people who have been on one incarnation of Degrassi or another (One Junior High, two TNG), I don’t think I’ve really watched it paying enough attention to remember anything...

Garbage collectors perform a valuable service for society and are tragically undervalued for their work. Jenny McCarthy wants people like me not to happen. I think I know who I like more.

what kind of 30% cancon comment IS this

I mean, it kind of makes total sense that if she thinks vaccines cause Autism, she also thinks you can get HIV from kissing?

Yepppp, and New Brunswick is pretty bad, even though there ARE services in place.

Good to know, thanks! Online voting would be interesting if it proved to be secure enough, especially since I want to emigrate (my skills are much less useful here than they would be in Northern Europe).

I’m still holding out some hope that there will be some advances on the social front, but financially not a whole lot is changing. I’m probably naïve, tbh, but HOPEFULLY the libs don’t just sit pretty in their majority and suddenly decide that First Past the Post works just fine for them

Tell me about it, lmao

Denmark is nice, but if you’re not white, in general, it is not necessarily nice in return

I’m terrified about this. The best case scenario is that Trudeau wins (I’m hardcore NDP but they only did this well last time because everyone who usually votes liberal was afraid to vote Ignatieff so they voted NDP or Conservative; Trudeau has cachet).

or don’t, because our police suck just as bad but we hide it better in the international media.

It took me forever to like my name. It’s not a weird word or anything (though my last name is an English word, but is actually French and not pronounced like that!!!) But it was and is super uncommon and kids used to make fun of me for it. Now I’m pretty cool with it. I might change my middle name though, but have to…

in Scandinavia they have Gitte, but that’s a lil weird. However, in Sweden, they use Britt as a short form. That sounds pretty cool. Rita could also work (Riitta is a Finnish derivative of Birgitta soooo)

I’m autistic. I’m sick and tired of these disgusting humans who have no idea what autism really is being the way they are.
