Um. Please don’t take Canada down with you. We’re trying to make up for our ten years of shit right now - our PM is an imperfect ass, but he’s still better than Trump.

How optimistic of you. They’ll blame brown people and, in a stunning display of “logic”, abortion, working moms and “welfare queens” with too many kids...

Maybe if “real” Americans are given the “opportunity” to finally undertake some of this work that the “illegal” brown folk have been “stealing”, they’ll realize how easy they’ve had it for the past 50 years and quit bitching and moaning and be grateful that for someone out there this menial labour (that has been…

I think he found a pretty good niche with grumpy loner characters too, like with Neo and Constantine (which I quite enjoyed!).

Oohh pretty! I had to google him and a picture of him in beard and glasses popped up, I thought he was Hernando from Sense8 for a minute! (also v v v pretty!)

I learned both downhill and cross-country late (in my early and late 20s respectively), and love both (although I’m much better at downhill). I think it made me a much more cautious skier than if I had learned as a kid when you’re all bouncy and flexible and fearless. I also don’t use “real” skis, per my friends who…

That’s so cute! Maybe secondhand? Race ya!

That’s how I took that too... Time to up your game 23 year olds!

Especially because it meant that all the delicious beer and cidre de glace in Quebec and all the delicious wine in BC could only be had by actually going there (which is fine, but if I want a case of wine I don’t want to have to also pay for a $1k round ticket just to get there - yes, the price of travel in Canada is…

Target bought Zellers in 2011 specifically to phase them out - and they did more than just change the brand - they fired all the incumbent management and a lot of the existing Zellers staff (a friend of mine was a store manager, they were all axed...), and completely changed the supply chain/products list/financial…

Sensitivity training workshops are usually horseshit (having taken one at work where the instructor displayed extremely problematic beliefs and attitudes about Muslim and Chinese people, I can safely say that they’re probably mostly useless). However this seems completely different. These kids have to read and reflect…

Shit, adults can change too, prison is exactly the wrong response here - prison would help cement those ideas and encourage further radicalization...

There’ve been similar peer-led programs with sexual and reproductive health education/intervention, which have also been hugely successful in delaying activity and mitigating risks - almost like teens don’t entirely trust adults and find more validation in community discussion and support than in having the adult…

I am SO excited. I was such a wannabe club kid in uni in the late 90s, had a couple of awesome experience in London and Germany and Tokyo, oh and one in Denmark in the early aughts, but was otherwise stuck in Ottawa fer chrissakes. I will so get my glitter sticks and Docs and plaid mini skirts out again for a KLF…

I knew about the inventory issues, they were terrible, but I never knew that was the cause!

Actually they ended up with crap. I never went in, but from friends who did go... they couldn’t find anything, it was all garbage, and they didn’t stock things like bathing suits in the wintertime (said they were “off season”). Apparently the Target planners had never heard of indoor pools or sun-destination…

Well, if we still had Eaton’s, or Woolworth’s, or Zellers...? :) I think a Lowe’s was going to move into the one near me, but it hasn’t materialized in a year so think that’s a no go. It’s too bad, by all accounts Target was crap while it lasted, I actually miss Zellers because it was an alternative to Walmart (which…

I know right? The cottage with the floor to ceiling riverstone fireplace... sigh.

And the big wool blankets are really nice...

Theory: Revenge for Target!
