O, Canada - all your canuck news worth sharing!

Density issues man. I don’t know anyone who took a school bus to school, for any grade.
Most of us walked. Or took public transit.

Uh huh. Meanwhile places like Urban Outfitters blatantly rip off indie artists and it barely makes the news.

This is one time I hope they’re just going through the motions. Because yeah, the Pacific Mall is fun, and the knock-offs are part of the fun.

So that’s two acquittals of white people accused of killing Indigenous people in less than a month. Even though it sounds like the evidence against Cormier really was insufficient, this is going to have major repercussions.

I’m glad it’s showing results. The old welfare system has an astonishing amount of overheard which does nothing for anyone – I know both social workers and ex-welfare recipients, and they all see it as counter-productive. Skip all the red tape and put the money in the hands that need it. It’ll be cheaper in the long run and help the local economy.

Fell into a youtube hole and watched this video. And the voice over dudes accent was so jarring to my Canadian ears! The way he says “Folded” and “fold” is crazy to me! He’s not pronouncing the “L” at all. He’s saying “Foded clothes” - and he’s not pronouncing the “R” in order, he’s saying “oder”. Its so jarring to me!

Side note: people in movies no longer say “Romantic” they “Romanic” and it drives me nuts!
Americans! Pronounce your consonants!

I have a feeling that that’s a suggestion that you’ll encounter some inconsonance trying to fight.

Okay, if I ever hear someone say that they’re looking for a “Romanic” movie, I will so suggest a spaghetti western. Or Italian horror.

“You said Romanic. This is Romanic.”

Clicked to find out WTH “the R word” was.

That’s a weird one. It was a popular pejorative, then it all but disappeared, then it came back, and now it seems to be fading again (or maybe me telling people off means they don’t use it around me anymore).

I don’t see it fading all that much. I hear/read “r*****ed” applied to an idea more than I hear the insult applied to any particular person (aside from 45), but it does seem like I hear/read r*****ed applied to ideas, etc. a lot.

Great move by MEC here in Canada. Hopefully others will follow suit:

What is it about conservatives these days that they want all the rules bent for them? It’s so weird when they have such a longstanding reputation for being sticklers for laws and rules.

Because, especially with the new guard, power is the only thing that matters.

There used to be conservatives that respected the rules which was precisely why they didn’t want change: they didn’t want to learn to play with a bunch of new rules.

Now, it’s all about getting in power to create new rules to ensure they are always on top.

Here’s hoping we buck the US trend and get a serious investigation here.

If Ford (or his brother) were mayor, no way. But Tory seems pretty decent (for a Tory).
