It’s not hate speech and it isn’t objectionable. And they claim “Asians” may be offended when they really mean some Chinese may be offended, most likely those sympathetic to the Communist Party. And if we can designate variants of the virus by reference to a geographical area then surely the virus can also be identified by reference to China.
News today is that Legault’s CAQ is looking to end some subsidies for French speaking students to attend English language CEGEP (like junior college), effectively reducing the amount of English language college spots available for French students. So free speech is fine, as long as it’s in French. If I were French wanting to learn English and further my career possibilities I’d be livid.
I find it funny and sad that those of us who want to live life are apparently the ‘covidiots’ while the nutcases afraid of leaving their homes without triple masking and wearing body condoms are the sane ones. Projection at its finest.
And, moreover, today the Montreal media is running with the story that models are predicting upwards of 2000 daily new cases if we “let our guard down too early and the more contagious variants take hold.” These are the real covidiots.
We are currently in Canada and she hates the cold. (As do I). We are heading to Jakarta in April. And we won’t return so long as the hotel quarantine is in effect. By contrast, for Indonesia we have a list of roughly 60 hotels to choose from. We will book 4 nights, which is the requirement. After the hotel stay we self isolate in our apartment. There is a range of prices based on the quality of the hotel. And prices include doctor visits and additional PCR tests. Likely about $125 - 150 per night. And this isn’t because it’s a developing country. Decent Jakarta hotels are generally more expensive than those here in Quebec. Canadians keep getting raped.
Your Latin American friends are correct. And it’s not only looks, it’s attitude. Many women in Canada are simply toxic - in many ways, and not very attractive. (To be fair, the weather doesn’t help). I’ve lived in Asia for many years, and a lot of my family is in Brazil. It’s night and day between here and Asia and South America. Funny thing is many women here feel they need to act like guys to be respected etc. In Latin America and Asia many women embrace their femininity yet excel professionally and in terms of family. Women are women and men are men, yet all can thrive. And just because a woman is feminine doesn’t mean she can’t be successful.
When the Conservative party openly believes that Canadians will never vote for social conservatives it’s clear they are just Liberals in disguise. Funny thing is, there are a lot of conservative people in Canada, including immigrants. But the Conservative Party has lost control of its messaging and is letting the media control the story. A strong leader that can attract voters is needed, not another pansy who checks to see which way the wind is blowing before talking policy. If the Conservatives are basically the same as the Liberals why would people change their vote from a liberal to Conservative? The Conservatives are dumb.
Good one!
