Are there not laws about children having to go to school? I know in my province you have to legally go to school until you are 18 (or until you graduate.)

I understand what you are saying, and rereading my comment I think that I maybe wasn’t clear. I’m not arguing against people being able to wear a collar in public and it isn’t that I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want more acceptance so that people like your friend feel more comfortable having these discussions…

Well, yes, but what is really confusing me is the quote that says he wants the same acceptance as LGBT+ people. What does that even mean? Like, this seems like a sexual behaviour to me - not something fundamental like society recognizing your gender or your relationship with someone of the same sex. Most sexual…

Isn’t this the constant struggle with “choose-your-choice” anything? I was recently in an hour long meeting around whether we disapproved of the objectification of women in boxing, or whether we needed to respect the choice that the women were making to run around holding up numbers in bikinis. (Why we couldn’t do…

Also, I feel like this is about behaviour in public whereas LGBT+ rights are about recognition for a person’s sexual orientation (relationships?) and gender.

(I should note that we cleaned it up before the janitors had to do it.)

We put coffee filters and washable food dye in the boys showers in our university dorm. The colour didn’t even stay on anyone, but their shouts when it first came out were beautiful.

We did this to my friend’s dorm in university. Funny and harmless.

I don’t think that they actually do. Lots of studies have shown that single payer healthcare systems actually cost much less per capitable than whatever the US has going on.

Oh, yes, I’m with you on that. We have our share or religious nuts!

Exactly. I always say that they don’t so much need to talk to scientists as they need to talk to historians!

That is definitely not true of all Canadian Mennonites. We had a bunch of Mennonite families at our high school and they all went to the doctors/hospital.

Exactly. Human nature doesn’t stop at boarders!

I’m 5'10" so I don’t even know.

I can’t do them either. It’s something about how the pleats open out and then just fall straight from there maybe? All I know is that the hit the widest part and then I’m in a mumu and the spitting image of my great grandmother.

Yes. I thought her gun control rant was so much better, and a large part of that is that it was effectively advancing the agenda of the administration she was working for.

Sorry. I know this is not the point of your comment, but your legislature only meets for 6 months out of every 24?? How does that even work?

I do sort of feel like Americans focus a lot more on their first lady than most countries do. I know in Canadian elections families do photo shoots and events or whatever, but we don’t spend nearly as much time talking about their personal lives.

And the Canadian courts have already ruled in the case of Jehovah’s witnesses and blood transfusions. Parents can not deny life saving treatment to minors, regardless of their personal beliefs.

I mean, I know nothing about this payout in particular, but people on salaries do often get paid out for vacation/OT (and even sick days if they’re in a really great union). We do it all the time at work when people leave. Seems like a kind of confusing statement.
