I’m Canadian. I left Canada many years ago. I’ve lived in the US and Asia, and my main residence in in Asia. I’ve spent a lot of time in Canada and South America this year, largely because of the virus. One thing that I notice about Canada is that there is ALWAYS someone or some group complaining. Teachers, nurses, doctors, refugees, immigrants, students, indigenous, blacks, Muslims, women, trans etc. You name it, they are complaining! And the media gives them all a platform. WTF!! It seems everyone complains so as to get more shit from the government. Or whatever. It’s fucking tiring. No one seems to take responsibility for their lives. They all complain and want more. How about just shutting up and being happy you are alive and not in a shithole, instead of trying to make Canada a shithole. End of rant.
Not a single leftist politician will ever acknowledge that diversity can be bad. Africa is an excellent example. It’s a mess. There are so many different groups and most don’t get along. And it’s not only the ethnic groups and religious groups, it’s the nationalities also. And yet our political class expects a different result here. Lol
A toxic form of colonization and erasure? This is a toxic form of bullshit!
Just when you think they can't be any more insane they come up with this. Not very inclusive but who am I to object? But that white girl from Halifax who announced she was trans yesterday might have something to say.
There is a time and a place for a mask, and I’m not referring to Halloween.
I’ve lived in Asia for many years. A big difference between Asia and North America is that sick people stay home, or if they must go out, they wear a mask. It’s common sense and courtesy. Why get on a crowded bus or train or go to an office when you might infect someone? And if you must venture out, try not to infect others. I recall my time spent in Quebec and NYC. I’d get on a crowded train and people were coughing away, spreading germs in close quarters, not caring at all about viral transmission. It’s just gross.
When did merit become such a bad concept? Why can’t positions just be filled with the best people available? are these policies actually admissions that “minorities” are actually less capable and therefor need special treatment?
Ok, so I can excuse folks either being mentally ill or wanting attention and being trans. Frankly, I don’t care. And I don’t care if you want to run an ad in The NY Times or on CNN proclaiming you are henceforth a different gender (as ridiculous as it is, but I just don’t care.)
But why does all of this crap have to affect the English language? ‘His’ pronouns are he/they? Who cares what the pronouns are? Just speak proper English.
Also, can someone enlighten me/us here - do trans folk in other countries where English is not the native language also just choose pronouns they want to be called? Or are we Canadians and Americans alone in this insanity?
If 100 people go to a movie or concert and 20% have chosen not to be vaccinated, what’s the problem? The 80% who have received the vaccine won’t get sick (if the vaccine is effective), and the other 20% have chosen to take the risk. I don’t see a problem at all, except perhaps because the authorities insist on conformity? Everyone must follow the rules?
Wide, child bearing hips. Nice! The tats are an interesting touch. What are the guns aimed at?
