Not to waylay the point however, the case of the coffee is a lot different than you think it was. That coffee case involved 3rd burns in the groin and thigh area from the coffee being far too hot, skin grafts and on top of that, she was the passenger in a car that was parked when she spilled it. The family just wanted…

She was awarded for her medical bills, that coffee was well into dangerous temperatures and caused third degree burns on 6% (eta actually it may have been 16%) of her body. It almost killed her. She was in the hospital for 8 days and needed skin grafts. She originally asked for her medical bills but they refused.

I live within view of the US border. I am preparing packages in the event of a Trump presidency. Anyone crossing near my house will receive a litre of syrup, a toque, a 24 of beer, a detailed explanation of the off side rule, and pamphlets on bear safety and how to have sex in a canoe. Welcome/Bienvenue.

Washington and Oregon: Canada’s sweet, hippy cousins.

I hope Canada will consider political refugees from the States.

o my god your post made me cry! everybody cry!!! <3

The people who have been supportive and volunteers working hard to make sure these people have places to stay, clothes to wear, and beds to sleep in once they get here has been astounding. There were people waiting at the airport and cheering as refugees left the plane, holding signs and giving hugs. It’s a nice…

This last Canadian election is going to really invigorate the American Left-base. It always does when we see such close neighbors doing what seems like common sense to us.

Tell it to the Indigenous Tribes.

Canada is back to shaming us neighbors to the south with their good governance. All is right in the natural world again.

Trudeau is hardly a perfect PM, but after years of Harper and all the quiet (and not-so-quiet) racism that came along with him, this feels just so good...

I am seriously researching and contemplating a move to Canada. If there are any American’s that have made the move that could provide insight on the largest differences and hurdles, I’d be interested in hear them.

It’s obviously a good first step but I have a sneaking suspicion that what we’ll eventually land on is that the three major factors playing into the disparity are the relative poverty in First Nations communities, the ingrained racism in Canadian society(and particularly law enforcement) and the relative isolation of…

“I was just as unaware that Canada had Aboriginals”

...........really?

You just reminded me that I need to incorporate “like an amish widow” into more conversations. <applause>

Hi all, I am really needing this Saturday Night Social.

Everything about this comment, A+, the mongoose snake party in particular got me.

I have roughly the same interest in becoming a parent as mongooses have in hanging out with snakes but holy crap this guy.

Number 2 on your list is strikingly common. My sister attended the memorial for a dear family friend who was like a father to us, and his ex-wife’s church completely took over the ceremony. There was nothing about his life, only long lectures about how he “got right with God at the end” and how happy they all were…
