Don't use your student loan to float dealing cocaine.
It never ends well.
It's lucrative and there's lots of strippers involved but you die of a heart attack at 35.

The thing is that they actually probably would have.
For a bit.
Nazism was very much a centrist reaction.
The SDU were the socialist republicans of what passed for being the right wing in that country, at the time. The commies referred to them as being "social fascists" if you can believe it, and the German commies were both incredibly influential and incredibly violent.
While a lot of national socialism seems like ultra-lefty shit it was centrist for where Germany was politically at the time.
To the right, a socialist party that's got shit policies and is destroying the nation, to the left, a communist party that's got shit policies and is destroying the nation.
Doesn't that just make the average, normal, centrist person want to throw all democratic ideals in the trash, elect an Emperor and violently expunge all radical elements from their society?
History has proven on multiple occasions that these people would be glad to punch someone in the face for very little reason. They would have punched Nazis in the face had they been around during Nazi Germany; I have no doubt about that.
They would have gladly punched a lot of Nazi sympathizers, neutrals, people who questioned them or people who didn't claim to be avowed communists as well.
There's a reason why the Germans were so okay with the violence of the browshirts. There's a reason why executing tens of thousands of agitators, and sending the rest to labour camps was very popular.
No one likes idiots who go around committing acts of violence for the sake of their politics. The anti-fa folk tend to lose fights, but they have no problem fighting people or committing acts of vandalism. They certainly would have done the same at the time, and paid a dire price for their stupidity.

Nah, that boat is actually pretty cheap.
It's the smallest in the range and resale is a bastard for boats like that. You can find them in the 5-10K range on the used market and financing is pretty easy to come by these days.
Boats are pretty cheap these days because the real costs are in slip fees and maintenance. There's tons on the used market and entry-level Rinkers are everywhere.

Oh my god, this story is amazing.
So two people were just hanging out at Woodbine beach of all places, when a drunk Indian cruised up to them and asked if they wanted to ride in his boat?
I don't think the guy should be charged, they clearly consented to being raped. There is no way anybody would get in that boat without knowing that a rape was in their future.
That's worse than getting into a battered panel van. There is a 100% chance of a rape if you get into a boat with a random, drunk, 55-year old Indian and to make matters worse it was just a cheap 20 foot outboard.
If you're going to get raped on a boat, make sure its a yacht so there'll be some financial compensation.
This story is just ridiculous.

I listened to that song once.
Needless to say, I'm taking Tony Lanez' side when it comes to that affair.

The problem with Gens X and Y was that they pushed marketing too hard, and went too far at an early age which made the kids question what they were being taught.
Transformers is a great example, imagine a TV show that was created by a toy company and it was very successful. Now imagine that same toy company's marketing department deciding that they were reaching market saturation and deciding to create a massive, heavily promoted movie where they'd kill off all the toys that the kids had purchased and introduce an entirely new roster.
Another problem was that the manipulation was boomer-tier and thus unsubtle. Between all of the messaging, propaganda, weird cross-overs and "special episodes" it created jaded generations which were infinitely suspicious of television and the media in general.
Interestingly enough, that did not cross over to music which still maintained a strong amount of influence. There are still people running around to this day whose entire political philosophy is based on a song by Rage Against the Machine or an interview with a high school dropout.
The media turned that around with millennials but I'd argue that the main difference between them and generations x/y were that the latter two were actually trusted to be on their own outside of the house.
Playing with toys and consuming media isn't as fun as going out, riding bikes, hanging out with other kids and being a little shit but they're better than nothing if you're confined to the house.
I suppose their may have been a reason for all of the pedo fear that the media used to push heavily.
It's quite an interesting phenomena to consider.

Yeah, you're going to Scarborough Immigration Scam College.
Exactly what did you expect?
The point of these classes isn't to teach you about "Applied Business Software", it's to provide a course that's very easy to pass for someone with limited English skills.
Immigration status is something that all of your classmates will be intimately familiar with, as will they also be intensely aware of the international students who are demanding that they all be given PR status without jobs due to COVID.
What the fuck are you even doing taking a marketing course at a college in Scarborough?
I'm assuming you're a Canadian and if you have your citizenship then you don't need that course to sell shit door-to-door or work in a call centre.
If you aren't past the withdrawal with full refund deadline than take that option immediately. At the very least keep your head down, do the work and transfer to a different program in January.
Taking marketing at Centennial College isn't a scam that you're supposed to fall for unless you currently live in India.
Get out of there before you waste more time and money.

What scares me about Canada is that it's going the same way.
The idea of "at least you have your community to fall back on" is going by the wayside with families being scattered due to shocking increases in real estate prices.
You can see that in the homeless crisis and the fentanyl crisis as well. The loss of community is devastating for a people.
The tighter-knit the society, the more effective the society.

You can't.
Let me put it this way, they were the first generation to get looped in by TV and it shows.
The indoctrination was different because TV was not only new technology, it was a status symbol as well.
The boomers were born in the time of post-WWII rationing and despair but by the time they were in their late-teens/early twenties the economy had been booming for years and they were able to watch revolutionary entertainment technology within their homes.
To be able to see what's going on in the world, to be able to laugh at comedies, to watch sports from their couch, to get wrapped up in soap operas.
Boomers, uniquely were never exploited by TV either. TV has always been aimed straight at Boomers. They are TV's most lucrative market and they will remain so for at least another decade.
I defy you to name any show on a major network and claim that it isn't something that boomers like more than anyone else.
It's an impossible venture.
CBC is full of shit. CNN as well but boomers treat it like the gospel because it's what they like. It's their opinions, presented by people who they perceive to be important celebrities.
You'll never break their level of conditioning.
(Unless you go the Q route, which uniquely appeals to boomers by telling them that the media they're consuming makes them special, and that only them and their friends are aware of mass pedo-vampirism but they don't have to do anything about it, just sit and watch it unfold as a passive observer. Like they do when they watch TV.) (But then you have to deal with Qtard boomers, which is less than ideal.)
The greatest cult reprogrammers in the land couldn't get boomers off CBC and CNN. TV is the devil.

One of the more interesting things about the automotive bail-out is that how Ford has run dicier and dicier cars through that plant, knowing that the government will prop them up should the cars not sell.
That factory went from making popular cheap cars, vans and trucks to making weird Mercuries and bizarre family commuters like the Flex. Shit with with weird potential but abysmal sales figures.
Of course they were able to convince the government to pay to upgrade their factory so they could make all-electric cars. (Which is still a niche market in this country because the current battery technology doesn't really work once you factor in Canadian winters. The top selling cars in the country are always the ones who will reliably start-up in the cold and get you to your destination with no fear of a breakdown in February.)
The real problem with corporate bailouts and "too big to fail" is that you end up with car companies who know that in this country, and this country only they can not only afford to fail, but they can profit from it in the long term.
Ford would have never tried this shit in any other country.
They did it here because they see our government as being suckers.
Hope it works out for them, although it probably won't and we'll end up bailing out another American auto company with our tax dollars.

I was referring more to the media landscape. The States can be poisonous to our celebrities.
It's infinite money but infinite demands, and a shallow, vicious market and that's poisonous to weird, quirky Canadian celebrities. He went from Vice to Fox to making a pretty solid netflix movie, to internet stardom, deplatforming and spiralling.
That could have never happened in Canada. He'd be way poorer but he'd have far more adulation. No one would have turned on him either, Canadian celebrities really aren't important enough for anyone to bother deplatforming them.
Canada's a bit better for alcohol culture but it's still quite solitary due to taxes, zoning, and the echoes of puritanism in our government. The Europeans are used to having a local place where they can expect to encounter a large amount of their community and have a drink, North Americans really don't have that available to the same degree and our alcohol habits tend to be less social as a result.
The lack of the social aspect is what makes it more intense.

He needs to come home.
I love the States, but the States can be poisonous for many Canadians.
As has been the case with Gavin MacInnes.

Wow, that woman was clearly on hallucinogens to be stealing that.
That may have been the ugliest fucking couch I've ever seen. If I were the store owners then I'd be happy to have it stolen so I could claim it on insurance. It isn't even fit for a brothel. No one is dumb enough to buy that.
That being said, people love to shit on NIMBYs but that's the kind of crap that occurs when you put affordable housing and needle exchanges downtown because "they need to be able to access employment services."
Everything gets stolen, no one wants to go into the area, and the businesses and residents suffer.
The cops won't even bother to bust anyone in some cases because they get sick of having to deal with the same people over-and-over. The court system won't come down hard on someone with mental health issues and addiction problems so it's a pointless endeavor; even when there was a good chance that someone in that store would be stabbed with scissors.
Until the government changes their thinking as it pertains to junkies and the insane this situation won't change.
I'd have sympathy for the store owner but who wants to bet that she supports the NDP, and progressive causes?
Sometimes you have to lie in the bed you make.

Gavin MacInnes is a comedian and a writer, and a talented one at that but I agree with you fully when he tried to be a role model and got involved with all the Proud Boys shit.
If he'd stuck with just having it as a men's group then he'd be fine. There is nothing wrong with fraternal orders of men having drinks together, that's great for society as a whole.
The problem was that he was doing that "offensive speakers come to a liberal university campus" shit and he started encouraging the group to come out and fight back against Anti-fa. That was what sent the group off-the-rails.
There is nothing to be gained by fighting antifa apart from clicks and crowdfunding.
He should have stayed in his lane. He's a clown, not a leader and he's certainly no Mussolini.
He could have had his fun men's club, harvested the popularity and done whatever but instead he had to flush the entire thing down the toilet because he wanted to do lucrative speaking tours with Milo Yiannopoulos and Anne fucking Coulter.
It's a shame.

Our government needs to stop spreading its legs for Chinese communist officials.
We could deal with half the problems in this country overnight if we barred members of the CCP from entering the country, investing or buying real estate.

If we bring them back, first the courts will drop their charges for lack of evidence and then they sue us for leaving them in camps for so long.
Trudeau won't want that publicity so he'll quietly cut them all cheques for a few million each.
That is why our government is refusing to do anything about the Canadians-of-convenience who joined ISIS.
They need to be stripped of their citizenship or given hemp for sedition.
Our court system is not designed to deal with people who leave the country to commit terrorist acts in foreign countries. May they rot in those camps forever.

Pretty much.
No one knows anyone who died from, or even caught the rona for the most part.
However, we all know people who have lost a lot of money or whose businesses are about to fail.
The government needs to find an easy way out and fast because if this was all for nothing, which seems to be the case, people are going to be furious with them.

Did you just suggest that I should go back to my own country?
MOOOOOOOOODS!!! Some guy just did a racist dogwhistle at me!!!

Gavin MacInnes can write like a motherfucker and he's hilarious.
He ended up quitting the group because a guy was being prosecuted after a brawl with antifa and his lawyers felt that him dissociating from the group would help his case.
It didn't, that guy got an incredibly unfair sentence.
You shouldn't be talking that way about Gavin fucking MacInnes. No matter how he's sold out, and how selling out has fucked him (imagine if Vice was still nothing but him writing under pen-names, instead of the atrocity it's become) he's still one of Canada's greatest celebrities.
(To leave this country's tax system after having used our grants to ensure his rise.)
(As is tradition.)

Here it comes, the authoritarian left was guaranteed to whip this card out at the 3ish weeks to election-point; the reminder that the "Republicans" love censorship to a greater degree than the Democrats (which isn't even true as the PRMC was a bi-partisan committee made of of prominent politicans' wives from both sides of the aisle; notably Susan Baker and Tipper Gore.)
I haven't watched it but I'd agree that it has artistic and political value.
However, the way that Netflix and social media companies promoted it one would think that it was straight up soft-core child porn.
US elections 2020 is an assault on the liberal centrists on every conceivable front. The DNC knows exactly who turned on Hillary and they're trying to demoralize them to reduce turnout.
Netflix is firmly in the DNC camp. The Obama's were signed on to the tune of $65 million for fuck's sake.
Netflix knew exactly what they were doing by promoting an art film like it was straight child porn, and I'm sure that they were behind the social media shilling campaign that whipped up outrage as well.
Wouldn't you just hate it as a centrist with mild libertarian values? An art film about the atrocious way that Islamic Bigamists treat their multiple wives, the corrosive effect of hypersexualized values on adolescents, and a need for a middle path getting censored due to Trump supporter-overreaction?
This US election is divisive as fuck and it's spilling into Canada. Keep your head on a swivel and your stick on the ice.

He had a good run.
I won't say that he died young. He died when he died and he had a good run.
Fuck cancer.

Warmer they say?
Wetter as well?
I was not made for this much sun and weather.
I would be so happy to emigrate to a place where the temperature was milder and there was a lot of lovely clouds and rain. Maybe a bit of fog thrown into the mix.
I'll emigrate to a different planet if it means that I don't have to bathe in moisturizer for 6 months out of the year. I'm a Canadian, I know that our country isn't really fit for habitation.
Point me in the right direction Dr. Dirk(?!) I've had enough of this planet.
To the stars!!!

I'm a bit concerned about this one.
So the Armed Forces, in response to weird media shit from the US elections (where the media is trying to convince people that the Proud Boys are white supremacists in an attempt to smear Trump as being white supremacist) decide to troll the Proud Boys on twitter with a hashtag where they have guys kiss?
Not only is this stupid. It's also retarded.
The Proud Boys aren't white supremacists, they aren't relevant and more importantly they've been kicked off twitter for years now. The Armed Forces should know that; that's the stupid part.
The retarded part is that they're involving themselves in a US election in a partisan manner, which is terrible for our relations and even worse, they're doing it for the wrong candidate.
Could you even imagine what the reaction would be in Canada if the US Army did the same thing to us?
Even more retarded though, is that this isn't even going to irritate the Proud Boys because they aren't homophobic in the slightest. I'd wager there was more gay soldiers in the Proud Boys than in the entire Canadian Army and their leader, Gavin MacInnes has done a ton of gay shit. He's made out with Milo Yiannopoulos on multiple occasions, stuck a dildo up his ass, and he's posed in women's lingerie more times than Colonel Williams.
It's all very, very stupid. I've got a few concerns about the state of our military at the moment.

Not a hate crime, then!
I'm so relieved, they keep warning me of all the nazis running around so I was a little nervous that it had happened to Rick Moranis.

I read the CBC article and I'm a bit confused.
They didn't list a race so I'm assuming that this was one of those Nazis everyone are talking about these days.
One of the nicest elderly Jewish entertainers (to ever leave Canada's tax system once he was making money) just gets assaulted out of the blue, completely unprovoked for no reason whatsoever apart from he was walking down the street.
This wasn't a robbery, nothing was stolen. This was an outright assault, from the video I'm not even sure Rick Moranis saw the guy coming, it was an outright sucker-punch and it could have easily killed him.
This was a naked hate crime from a goddamn Nazi.
It's a bloody shame we're allowing this shit as a society. I hope they find the Hitler-worshipping bastard and throw him in their worst prison.
