I only came across The Toast a few months before the end, and I deeply regret all the years it couldve been part of my life.

Can he forget what he never knew in the first place?

Thanks for posting that. The intro was making me tear up- will definitely carve out some time to watch the whole thing.

Wouldn’t it be nice if they reflected on how their behaviour may have contributed to their predicament? But no, it was all that no good hashtag that ruined everything!

I just re read this article about his time at York U. Fuck him for all time. And someone please check on his “female friend.”

He punched more than woman in the head over and over and claimed it was consensual. As well, he was charged with “overcome resistance by choking.” Plus he kept pictures of it all, which he showed to the execs at CBC as a “defense” and was also accused of years of workplace harassment. Even a guy who worked for him in…

But where would I wear them? I ask myself

I’m so sorry your little fluffum died. It’s so easy to get attached. *internet hugs*

I had a big long argument with my dad about this. He feels a teenage boy having sex with an adult woman is “lucky.” I feel kids can’t consent to sex and it’s abuse regardless whether it’s a woman abusing a boy or a man abusing a girl. He thinks he would’ve felt flattered if it had happened to him, but since he’s never…

Haven’t watched the whole video to end, but it’s good shofar.

That would be the reasonable thing to do... My guess is he didn’t feel threatened, he just wanted to threaten them with his gun and he felt he’s entitled to because they’re black. I’m just glad none of the college kids were hurt.

Is this because teaching just isn’t a very attractive job (under paid, ridiculous initiatives, under funded classrooms) so it’s hard to attract/ keep people?

Same in Canada, I just think Canadians collectively value public education and the need to fund it, in every province. When I read articles about school districts in the US shortening their school years because the community won’t approve funding, it blows my mind.

And Norm, it wasn’t really a day, was it? Roseanne has been a racist pos for years and Louis harassed multiple people over years, and covered up by threatening their careers. He could’ve come out ahead of the story when #metoo became a thing, and tried to make some kind of restitution, but he didn’t.

As a Canadian teacher, the US education system deeply disturbs me, but not nearly as much as Americans’ reluctance to pay any kind of tax to support it. You get what you pay for, I guess.

The Nike “boycott” won’t work because those of us who understand science don’t want to boycott Nike.

And yet, it’s so easy to avoid posting racist rants on facebook, and even avoid sharing racist memes. I have logged in to FB many, many times and not posted anything that disparaged whole groups of people, or suggested in any way that any fellow citizen, or even a fellow resident, of my country should leave. It’s…

I’m a little concerned about where he thinks his heart is. Maybe he can’t reach that high? Does he have one?

Maybe they meant this
