You’re safe: we get that flavour, up here.

Last I checked, a poll by Forum Research found that about 1 in 5 Canadians had used cannabis in the previous 12 months. Combined with the adults who say they’d try it once legalized, it goes up to 3 in 10 of us. That’s a lot of Canadians who could potentially be turned away at the border. We’re only second to Mexico,…

Their racism, sexism, or just their blind reverence for American law enforcement. Tough call, if one is a bigot.

Yep. Positions of authority and proximity to the vulnerable, like in border patrol, policing, politics, teaching, childcare, religious leadership, etc, should all be watched more carefully, to weed out those who would abuse their positions. Predators will gravitate towards an occupation for the cover and access it…

Oh man... I’d have to really think about specific phrases, as I can’t really think about it as isolated examples very well. I’m so used to it that I don’t really think about it unless I’m trying not to speak it.

I guess I say “yer” for “your” or “you’re” a lot (shoutout to Gord Downie, RIP), and there’s plenty of…

My grandmother had her first of five kids at 33 (my mom), and her last at 40 or 41. Four successful pregnancies (her second resulted in fraternal twins, my aunt and uncle), but my mom has told me that she had at least a couple of miscarriages in there. It’s not unusual that they don’t all “take”.

Well, some of them were Christian teens, now Christian adults, probably only ever had abstinence-only education, and now they’re older and still hung up on correct terminology (and also the swears, which are fucking correct terminology, too, in my book).

Wow. I would have been both elated and terrified, especially as a tween/teen who ate up all of those documentaries on the pyramids/tombs of Ancient Egypt, before TLC and other educational channels went to shit! (RIP “The Learning Channel”)

I’m catching up on Season 3 of Wynonna Earp. If American Netflix is anything like Canadian Netflix, you should be able to catch the first two seasons there, for any Americans interested. It’s like “Buffy” meeting “Supernatural” in a “weird west” setting, but more modernly feminist/sexually-liberated/gay (no burying of …

Wow. That is an extraordinarily bad take.

Pence probably wears some sort of metal chastity belt out of the dark ages.

Funnily enough, the original (now obsolete) meaning of the word “nice” was “foolish/stupid/senseless”, amongst other similar, uncomplimentary things: https://www.etymonline.com/word/nice#etymonline_v_6918

I have my doubts he’ll be stopped. So I’m hoping that, once the Dems take over again, the can expand the court by a couple of positions, to even out the GOP’s underhanded, self-serving perversion of the system.

I think he has some good ideas, good intentions, and good experience, so I wouldn’t say “retire” or anything... but he’d probably do his best work in the cabinet of a more youthful president, where he can have an advisory role. America really needs a more youthful, “with it” leader who is around Obama’s age, when…

“But look at all of the women he hasn’t tried to rape!”

I like to think that there’s a hefty dose of confusion in there. The woman is evil, but she also seems... not very bright.

Once this orange asshole is removed, the Dems should turn their attention to raking every last one of those GOP fuckers over the coals, right up to and including Pence, for choosing party over country, partisan agenda over law and duty to all of the people, by doing everything they could to keep a dangerous demagogue…

Betcha that ain’t water.

Who the hell cares what Amy Schumer thinks, anyway?

Maybe 1,000-2,000 years from now, they will. 10,000 years from now, Trump and the construct of “whiteness” will most likely be obscure blips in ancient history, possibly with some information lost on the subject... or maybe the records will have been preserved, it just won’t be very interesting or relevant, to most…
