That’s the problem though. I was thinking critically since I was a child. That wasn’t my fault, nor any other child’s fault who thinks similarly. If the school system, from elementary to high school is unable to accommodate such needs, then the system fails those kids, and is in desperate need of reform. “That’s not…

Unfortunately not, I’m from KW!

I’m Canadian, but I’m sure to some degree the same applies. I was a pretty smart kid. In the “gifted” program and all that bullshit (which honestly had no benefit and just made expectations higher and other kids/parents resent me). I grew up in the suburbs of “bible belt” southern Ontario in the late 90s and early…

Can I invest? Making money from making sure Nazis can’t escape justice? Sounds like a dream to me.

I mean, are ankle monitors somehow not a thing for underage Nazis?

Did someone say Groundhog Day?!

This is silly, and I did giggle... But truthfully, what’s going on in Nova Scotia right now is pretty brutal, and probably shouldn’t be joked about. Mi’kmaq peoples’ homes and businesses have been burnt down...

Yes, I was considering adding more atrocities but didn’t want to make my post too long. The 60s scoop I figured kind of blended in with the kidnapping of children. My grandfather was actually stolen from his mother (who was Odawa First Nation) back in the 40s. He still doesn’t like to talk about or even really…

This is precisely what screwed us here in Ontario. We had cases of community transmission almost down to nil in Toronto in the early summer. We were literally on the path to beating this thing before a 2nd or 3rd wave hit us. All we had to do was continue on with the lockdown measures as diligently as we had been for…

I stand corrected, thank you!

And to pretend those systems aren’t racist at all! We are Canadian! We are so nice! We have never even thought about deploying blankets infected with smallpox as a biological weapon to depopulate the lands of indigenous people. And when that didn’t happen, we certainly didn’t devise a system of ghettoization of…

For whom exactly? If you mean for the wealthy, white, landed male gentry of the time, ya sure I guess so...

Unless you are a capitalist (and I mean that label in the sense of someone who actually builds large amounts of capital- lots of “capitalists” aren’t capitalists at all *ahem* TRUMP *ahem*). I’m sure to the Musks, Zuckerbergs, Bransons and Bezos(s?) of the world, capitalism smells and tastes like fucking roses baby.…

Adam Smith is also the reason for the whole idea that “greed is good”, at the end of the day. Fun fact, Smith also was a vocal proponent of the idea that only the rich should be able to vote. Seems a tad dated now (hopefully, unless you’re Peter Thiel), doesn’t it?

And in Italian...

Did someone say slide whistle?!

Agreed. A decade or so ago, in undergrad, it was whatever would fill my belly. Even then though, I tried to buy “good” pasta when I was making something nice. If I was throwing the contents of my fridge into a stock pot to make a massive amount of “leftover soup”, Barilla would do. These days, I use basmati or long…

EXCEPT MAKE ME FAT GADDAMMIT!!! (Ahem... not a trailer trash white person. Or a cop)

To be honest, that was the first one that came off of the top of my head. I know there were other deaths during the protests, but frankly I’m not sure of the skin colour of the victims all around, or whether they were murdered by police, national guard or plain old Nazi teenagers with vehicles and/or assault rifles.…

Why don’t you ask David McAtee.
