I want to glom onto your continental drift comment to clarify a statement in TFA that might be a bit misleading:

i’ve known dinosaurs were real since i was little. before i even was in school and learning science.

I stand corrected. Harper did cut funding from the maternal health plan to organizations providing safe abortions in other countries, claiming the reason is because it is a divisive issue.

Absolutely Harper was pro-death penalty but unfortunately for him he was born into the wrong country to lead. Pro death penalty, repealing abortion laws and anti same-sex marriage are platforms he knew would be political suicide in Canada.

I disagree that science will struggle to explain it, since many a scientist is drinking heavily also.

Not that I’m not happy about that

I was right there with you in the sickness. Harper was/is an asshole, but a politician who ultimately didn’t want to open up any decisive issues, like the death penalty, or abortion. He was against abortion but he certainly wasn’t going to open that can of worms either. He was a coward in a lot of ways

No apologies needed. I think they’re hypocrites too.

Where’s all the pro-death penalty people? You’d think they would be pouncing all over this! .maybe I’ll tell my mom they’re looking for witnesses!

Top notch Kinja right here.

Yeah, from a fellow Canookistanian, we used to see them all the time in Alberta when I was growing up in the 70s. Actually I remember seeing some when I was really young, like maybe 10 or even younger, and some of the imagery literally put the Fear of YooHoo right up me. I distinctly remember lying awake in the dark…

HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS NUT??!? THIS LOOKS PREPOSTEROUS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY TERRIBLE AND AMAZING!!!

Jesus, Canuck, where is your news blog? You actually seem to have put in the ten minutes of research that so eluded both Gizmodo and the Telegraph. I should be reading your articles instead!

I googled him, he’s on some international committee for reproductive health that is affiliated with WHO, not sure how exactly.

Having spent almost a decade and a half in the construction industry, i can tell you no one works harder to get out of paying what they owe than the rich. I’m convinced many of them work harder at that than what they did to get rich in the first place. People in the middle class? Almost never a problem collecting a…

When Trump does that growly threatening sex whisper I always expect him to fuck up and straight up threaten someone’s life. I mean he’s come really, really close a few times (the whole “we help them; they need to pay up!” during the debate was particularly mobsterish) but he never quite does it.

This is not exactly the way I wanted to find out that HR Giger had died.

HR Giger Approves.... from Beyond the Grave...

May have been a Frankie Pantangeli moment but Trump or whoever arranged this did not realize that having Frankie’s brother present at the hearings worked because Frankie was testifying while Malik would have zero impact on HRC and Barack was probably somewhere else.

Did Trump ever reveal why he invited Malik Obama? What was the point?
