Damn straight.

Yeah. I just wish he had better follow through with his promises. Sigh. If he could only be the PM he promised he'd be.

I went with Prime Dad, eh. Great minds (and Canadian ones) think alike.

Prime Dad, eh?

No worries. It’s an easy rule - if the “s” is there as a plural then the apostrophe follows the “s”. If the “s” is there as part of the word, then you add an apostrophe “s”. So Jones isn’t plural, so the possessive would be "Jones's".

So there are no rules anymore? Sigh. I knew I should have been out smoking with the cool kids instead of learning grammar.

Jones’s role. Not Jones’ unless you are talking about the role of more than one Jone.

To all you American Jezzies who despair over Trump et. al., let this article be your consolation. Every country has assholes that say stupid shit.

I didn't think you could improve on your first comment but the follow-up was even better. I agree. I don't see the purpose and it just adds to the mindless online burble that ensures that, should anything of value ever be said, it will be missed.

I laughed when I read this article. I remember Harper trying to drum up good will by visiting with the panda parents when they first arrived. In order to make his date with the pandas, he skipped out on meeting a group of young First Nations people who had walked 1000s of miles to protest the government’s inaction on…

You said that much more nicely than I would have. Thanks.

No word of a lie - the ONLY place that I’ve ever been hassled while breast-feeding was an outdoor restaurant in New Hampshire. I was sitting in my car at the time but apparently, not even in their parking lot. Live free or die, my ass.

I’m not watching because I find the whole thing confusing, awkward and embarrassing. I mean that for all award shows, not just the Oscars. It’s a curious thing for us to be engaged in, as a species.

John D. Cavaletto and Keith Wheeler. Those both sound like good father names.

You're so sweet! Look at you, talking about the law and facts and stuff. You keep doing you!

It’s not a huge gamble. He knows damn well that his supporters do not deal in facts, evidence, that kind of thing. I’m not an American but I wonder how weird/terrifying it is to hear politicians running for PRESIDENT OF THE FUCKING COUNTRY NO LESS, to be saying this kind of crazy, hate-inducing thing on national…

In the immortal words of Arthur C. Clarke:

I think the difference in our opinions here is that I see acting in or against, say, your economic interests is a different kettle of fish from acting in a way that denies your basic humanity and worse, the humanity of others.

Well, my answer to that is obvious and easy: I don’t belong to any religion. I don’t believe in God. I don’t adhere to groups that are (1) non-democratic and (2) not equitable. If I can’t have a say and role in determining the ideology/practices of my group, then I don’t belong. I can maintain membership if the group…

To be fair, there are 10Xs as many of you so there really should be more assholes in the US. We Canadians can be pretty assholish too - a fact for which this thread is ample evidence.
