Yeah, there’s no way he could be a bigot. In fact, some of this best friends are trans!

You’re supposed to start these comments with “As a PROUD trans person myself...”

Yeah, those awful trans people wanting to be treated like people. Won’t someone think of the poor bigots???

When my friend, as a teenager, got very drunk, went into the wrong house and had the cops called on him, do you think they let him go because he “had college aspirations” or do you think that he was arrested and carries a criminal record to this day? Teenagers aren’t shielded from the consequences of their actions…

Who the fuck cares what his intent was? If I fire a gun into the air negligently and kill someone, I am guilty of AT LEAST manslaughter. Why is this any different? No one died, but they did get seriously injured, and they would not have if this idiot kid had not decided to assault them in the first damn place.

He put several people in the hospital. Of course he should face serious consequences. What the fuck? This whole thing started when he decided to assault a bunch of cyclists who were minding their business, then he sent like 6 of them to the hospital with injuries serious enough that some had to be air lifted. He…

I mean, you could look at it that way, or you could understand that while the CONCEPT of unions is inherently good, police unions have been so corrupted and turned so authoritarian, that it’s easy to carve out a one-off exception for them. Because of all the “sure, he murdered someone, but that doesn’t mean that he…

Most people make a pretty easy exception for police unions. Because of all the corruption, authoritarianism and defending of murderers.

It just means dozens fewer bad cops on the streets. Sounds like a win to me (or it would, if it were true, which it isn’t apparently).

We had that happen where I live earlier this week. The public transit union made a stink when the government declared the unvaxxed workers (their mandate went into effect Sept. 30, I believe) on an illegal strike. The union made a big stink in the morning, but by lunch time they were all “we will work with these…

Eh, even up here in Canada where “right to work” never really caught on, it’s pretty much universally accepted that losing your job for failing to comply with your company’s health and safety guidelines is perfectly legal. Even the most of the unions are on board.

They never do.

Yes, because you aren’t considered fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after your second does. So those people with just one dose? Not fully vaxxed, and reported as such.

Yeah, no team is going to pony up tens of millions of dollars to buy out a contract and get a fat lump of nothing in return. 

It can be three things.

Yeah, “I’m not a racist, I just vote for them and support their racist policies” is not the killer defence these people think it is. You’re just saying “I’m not racist, but I am ok with racism, so long as my taxes get cut and I save $45 a year!”

Conservatives in America in 2021 are fascists. Liberals are conservatives. The left doesn’t exist in any meaningful way. That’s the American political spectrum in the 21st century.

No good faith comment has ever started with “As a lifelong Democrat, we really need more Republican representation in media!”

I think since the Toronto Star got bought by some venture capital conservative bros, all the majors in Canada are owned by conservatives. Like 80% is owned by Postmedia alone.

But that’s my point. All this shit is arbitrary, so why do politicians think they get to overrule fucking doctors/researchers/ethicists who literally spend their lives and careers thinking about these things?

It is ALWAYS RIGHT to let a woman decide what the fuck happens to/in her own fucking body, and it should never…
