He’s raised Canada’s profile on the world stage in the short time he’s been PM than Harper did during his 300 year term (that’s what it felt like). Go take a nap, you’re cranky.

My toddler had started saying yuck when I try to kiss him and it’s the most devastating rejection I’ve ever had.

Judging from the callers on the radio station I listen to on the way to work, men who are threatened by him and certain sets of elderly people who hate joy don’t love him. The rest of us are deeply infatuated.

My point was that despite attempts to seem progressive in places where their influence is dwindling, it’s business as usual wherever the Church is able to influence government policy. Patriarchal, misogynistic business as usual. I made no comment about the religious beliefs, or lack thereof, of Irish people.

Racism.

The Catholic parish my mom belongs to is quite liberal by Catholic standards, which they have to be out of necessity because their numbers are dwindling. However I still refuse to baptize my kids because of bullshit like the above story (and my unwavering atheism) Wherever Catholicism has a stranglehold any notion of…

I can’t fathom how anyone can possibly be undecided in this election.

ETA sorry this pic is enormous.

Scalia 2.0.

Yeah I have trouble seeing any benevolent deity being cool with someone like Trump being ordained leader. Maybe Cruz was praying to a chaos demon.

I think it’s HILARIOUS that some critics think sexy scenes are not historically accurate. Perhaps it had to be played down in some literature because of social mores at the time, but every historical generation was all about sex. They had to be. That’s why we’re here today.

Meh, nothing in those files would do much to change my opinion of him. You can’t get lower than the worst. And those who view Trump favourably are either delusional racists or illiterate racists so it’s not like those files are swaying any of them either.

Yes, it all depends on the context and balance of power.

I’m against solitary confinement as a whole, so no, I don’t find 7 days to be not as bad. It’s all bad.

Ok, 14 days in solitary confinement (which has been proven to make inmates suicidal) to punish an inmate for a suicide attempt. Makes sense.

I guess it’s hard to tell without more details, like if this was a pattern of behaviour. But as someone who’s been married for 10 years there’s been the odd time I’ve gotten drunk and acted like an asshole. We’ve had the odd screaming fight. Growing up I had a couple of screaming fights with my parents where I was…

Very true.

I have 2 boys under the age of 6 who have no concept of fear. I challenge anyone not to shriek in terror when their kid darts into the street.

I like nice things.
