I see Bluebyrd takes exception!I really thought I had that woman educated by now. :lol:
Oh....poor little bluebyrd is a Quebec LIE-beral and it is a BAD combination! Such creatures CANNOT be educated as their minds are full of gravy! Such people are fixated on their entitlements while LIE-berals operate a creeping political coup in Canada!
Here is an article illustrating how little will there is amongst LIE-berals to counter real racist sentiment when its directed at white people! With some comments of my own in brackets):

FATAH: How to integrate refugees into Canada
Now that an independent investigator has vindicated graduate student Lindsay Shepherd in her case against Wilfrid Laurier University, here, in a nutshell, is what we know for sure.
For the thought crime of showing a video clip to her class of undergraduate communications students, Shepherd’s thesis supervisor and the head of her program, along with a senior gender-awareness specialist from the university’s administration, hauled Shepherd into a shaming session – and without any “formal or informal complaint” ever having been brought against her – attempted to intimidate her into adopting politically correct ideas and behaviours.
(Uh- and they are “communication” students? Learning to communicate WHAT exactly? Any clip from TVO/The Agenda is truly harmless as all sides get to state their case and get exposed to questions if what they say is wrong or misleading or confusing! Only a LIE-beral pushing a very selective view would take offense!)
It is also apparent, too, that the university would like to avoid punishing the three Star Chamber staffers who sought to bully Shepherd into accepting orthodox PC-think.
In her mealy-minded statement Monday, university president Deborah MacLatchy gave no indication whatsoever that Nathan Rambukkana, Shepherd’s supervising professor, Herbert Pimlott, the head of her program, or bureaucrat Adria Joel, from the university’s gender violence prevention and support program, would be fired for their attempts at intellectual intimidation, or suspended, or even merely reprimanded.
Instead, while acknowledging that the intimidating three-against-one meeting “never should have happened at all,” MacLatchy chose not to issue a finding of wrongdoing against the three staff members.
Instead, the university president simply promised better training of WLU teaching assistants and their supervisors on school policy. Whether MacLatchy intended it or not, her implication was that, perhaps, both sides had done things wrong.
(Of course! “Better training” is a standard LIE-beral phrase meaning: “you caught us out publicly this time but don’t worry- next time we will stab kids like Shepherd in the back MUCH MORE DISCREETLY”! Such stabs in the back would typically take the form of poor marks on assignments- the idea being to discourage selected students with “unsuitable values” from pursuing further education in the course- the message being “you are not skilled at this and will not make a living at it so you better save your money and QUIT OUR CLASS”! And naturally- course leaders will be alerted in future to the need to more vigorously SCREEN OUT unsuitable kids who are applying to the course- with teachers expanding their repertoire of loaded questions designed to make sure wrong headed kids do not get into the course or poison the course with awkward questions and values later!)
Rather than say Rambukkana, Pimlott and Joel are so infected by politically correct thinking – clueless about what free expression truly means and so inept at grad student relations – that they have no place on a university teaching staff, MacLatchy would only commit to striking a panel that will draft a free-speech policy for which Shepherd’s three persecutors (along with Shepherd and everyone else on staff, presumably) will be required to attend training sessions and read excruciatingly long emails from gender-sensitivity consultants.
(AS we have been warned by U of T professor Jordan Peterson- politically correct and LIE-beral oriented values are seen as essential teaching tools in our schools!
To be sure, modern bureaucratic, hypersensitivity training sessions can be excruciating. Still, that’s not the type of punishment that is going to wake up PC tyrants on campuses across the country and throughout the Western world.
And, again, what does this imply about who is at fault if the punishment will be enforced equally on both the perpetrators and their victim?
Remember in all of this, all Shepherd did to provoke her attackers was show a clip from a TVO debate about the use of gender-neutral pronouns between two University of Toronto professors, psychology prof Jordan Peterson and diversity studies lecturer Nicholas Matte.
For those who don’t know, TVO – TV Ontario – is Ontario’s provincial public broadcaster. It’s part PBS, part CPAC. (Zzzzzz.)
It is hardly a controversial source. And the host of the debate, longtime TVO personality Steve Paikin, is one of the most professional interviewers/moderators in the country.
It’s not as if Shepherd had chosen to play footage of a white supremacist leader smuggled out of a backwoods rally and originally aired on a neo-Nazi podcast.
And even if she had, among grownups, at a university, for the purposes of studying communications techniques, Shepherd would be fully within intellectual bounds to do so.
(HAHAHAHA!!! No one is permitted to engage in Totally Free debate in our brave new LIE-beral world! ONLY those who bow before LIE-beral hegemony are accepted! All others are BANNED! AS the CBC said of the Mydeocracy dedicated to electoral reform; “you can like it or you can love it, but there is no place to say you hate it”! With the added bonus that before you could register an opinion- you first had to put up enough information that LIE-beral scrutineers could figure out what street you lived on- and might get even more than that! So much for privacy in our Brave LIE-beral World!)
Are professors to stop showing Leni Riefenstahl’s Victory of Faith or Triumph of the Will as examples of heinous propaganda just because someone in their classes might be offended by the overt racism?
(Riefenstahl IS ACCEPTABLE to LIE-berals firstly because she is a Nazi and all LIE-berals AGREE that Nazis are evil- always and forever! Secondly- Riefenstahl is a CUNNING propagandist and puts on a great show for the state- something our LIE-beral overlords with their Soviet show trial sensibilities would like to emulate- without admitting who taught them! Adolf Hitler drew a crowd of half a million Germans to his Nurumburg Rallies- yes- in the midst of a Great Depression- Hitler got half a million people to show up- paying their own way to the rally- and got them cheering wildly while Hitler told them “Germany will forge its future in blood and iron”! And NOBODY ASKED: “how much blood are we talking about” because they were too busy cheering! That IS the power of communication- even if the message was vile! And LIE-berals WANT such power for themselves!)
One of the TVO debaters, Peterson, has become a lightning rod for the forces of hysterical inclusiveness because he refuses to use gender-neutral pronouns such as xe, xem, xyr and xyrs.
Peterson doesn’t argue the superiority of one race or sex over others. But in an example of how twisted political correctness has become, it is now unacceptable to show public TV debates involving him because he shows insufficient empathy for the radicalized transgender agenda.
(The 19th century Soviet style revolutionary Bakunin told us: “it is not necessary for the majority of the people to support the revolution, rather, it is enough that the majority of people come to doubt their institutions and become open to alternatives”! Well organized cadres of dedicated Soviets can then cut through the disorganized forces of the establishment- just as happened in Russia! The Russian moderate Kerensky WAS elected as prime minister after the Czar was deposed. Kerensky wanted a parliamentary monarchy for Russia- modelled on the one in Britain! Lenin`s Red Guards were a political minority in Russia but were well organized and disciplined- and they dissolved that first honest Russian parliament at bayonet point! LIE-berals are working just as HARD to undermine ALL our institutions in the face of disorganized opposition!) with no room for facts or logic!!
But it does raise an important point about the quality of people we have entrusted our young to for education.
If kids are totally fukked up don't blame the parents-they have little say in the matter, blame the "educators".

Here is an example of the money madness Cdn LIE-berals are considering:
How Canada is flirting with a bizarro world of negative interest rates 17/24
Financial Post. By John Shmuel. April 8/ 2017
When the European Central Bank meets in March, markets anticipate that it will cut its already negative deposit rate further, deepening Europe’s multi-year experiment with sub-zero interest rates, which began in June 2014.
(IN other words, European bankers are so broke they resent it when citizens actually SAVE MONEY! They want their people to run right out and BUY! And does that not sound like the novel Brave New World? Or look at our very own Jackass John- the Sorry Tory mayor of Toronto who thinks it would be good to TAX people extra who own houses and do not either live in them or rent them out! That is municipal style negative money!)
A new report suggests fearful investors are sitting on a record $75-billion in excess cash in their portfolios, the biggest hoard in Canadian history.
(And Cdn bankers apparently are just as resentful of savers as their European cousins! With the added bonus that LIE-berals are fearful of another HUGE market melt down if our debts- both public and private- becomes even more unmanageable than they ALREADY ARE! Hence the new LIE-beral mortgage rules that have killed off so much of the Toronto housing biz- with many people caught off guard by that LIE- beral attack on the last/best investment left to ordinary Cdns!)
The ECB currently charges banks to park money with it as part of a policy where the official deposit rate is set at -0.3 per cent. In a normal interest rate environment, it would be paying banks that leave their money in its vaults. Three other countries — Denmark Sweden and Switzerland — now flirt with deposit rates as low as -0.5 per cent.
(So bankers think it is a good idea to CHARGE customers for the privilege of STORING any money they did not immediately run out and squander at the first chance? NO wonder Europe is bankrupt!)
The experiment in Europe is being closely watched around the world, including by policymakers here in Canada. Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz discussed negative rates at a luncheon in Toronto last month, putting it on the radar here. While he said that addressing negative rates was no indication the bank planned to use them, it nevertheless shows that Poloz and his team are weighing all options as the economy struggles to grow.
(LIE-berals are DESPERATE for more gravy and they are even more pissed at corporate savers than ta private ones! LIE-berals consider that corporate money sitting in a bank account is being WASTED! SO much for saving for a rainy day!)
Negative rates are certainly an anomaly in economic policy. So far, enacting the policy in the eurozone hasn’t led to the kind of bizarro scenarios that negative rates can conjure up — getting paid to have a mortgage, being charged to leave your money with banks.
(The LIE-beral obsession with deficit financing is allowing us to explore prevously un-imagined levels of debt and bankruptcy! The only country more indebted than Ontari-owe was Weimar Germany- and that debt was solved - for a while- by Adolf Hitler! We are allowing LIE-berals to play with fiscal fire!)
Even in the event that the Bank of Canada ever adopts such a policy — which seems less likely following this month’s optimism from Poloz — it is unlikely that consumers would see much of a change from the current interest rate regime, say experts.
(On the other hand- who could have expected the recent rise in oil prices? And who would have expected Our idiot Boy to be running up against a NAFTA dead line imposed by Yankee Congress- with DIRE results for Canada if a deal is NOT done! That LIE-beral fiscval fire may bunr us badly in no time at all!)
“The Bank of Canada can do a lot with the aggregate number, and it’s up to banks how they pass that on to consumers,” said Moshe A. Milevsky a professor at the Schulich School of Business at York University. “But consumers will never put their money into a bank account that charges them a negative interest rate.”
The entire purpose of negative rates is to make it expensive to sit on cash. Theoretically, that will force any cash holders in the economy to put their money to use, whether it’s business deploying capital on new machinery or breaking new ground on projects or investors putting their money into the stock market. The hope is that the incentive to spend will grow the economy. For countries struggling with problems such as deflation — the eurozone is a prime example — it is hoped that all the renewed spending will bring inflation closer to the two per cent mark favoured by central banks.
(To bad LIE-berals do not want to consider what a crap shoot the stock market is at the best of times! Cdns are right not to trust the financial “advisors”!)
Some countries have had success with negative rates propping up the economy in other ways. Denmark, for instance, was able to get ahead of the ECB by lowering its rates even further, preventing an appreciation in the Danish krone. That has helped keep exports healthy and has registered respectable growth in the economy.
But zero rates have created problems, too. In Sweden, the country’s financial regulatory agency has warned that the cost-free borrowing of negative rates has created a housing and stock market bubble that will be difficult to deflate.
(And we Cdns KNOW the cost of deflating a housing bubble! One has only to look at house sales in spring 2018 to recognize that a LOT of people who put their money into housing as it was the last, best investment left to ordinary people got STUNG when LIE-berals changed the mortgage lending rules! The drop off in housing sales translates into money that people hoped to have for their retirement is now GONE!)
Ultimately, negative rates here would simply cost consumers more than anything, Milevsky says. Because banks would be forced to pay the Bank of Canada, they would pass on those costs to the consumer using a tactic common amongst Canadian banks — user fees.
“What you might see happening is a negative interest rate masquerading as higher fees,” Milevsky said. “No bank in their right mind would tell a consumer, give us your hundred dollars and we’ll give you 95. That will never happen.”
(And is that not JUST EXACTLY what IS happening? User fees do amount to being charged for storing your money! WE all know that banks PAY NO INTEREST on a chequing account and they pay a PITTANCE on a savings account! Bankers no longer need our saved pennies because LIE-beral fiscal madness lets them pull money out of the air- bankers and LIE-berals treat our saved pennies with disdain! If ordinary people printed money at the rate bankers are , WE would go to jail for forgery! )
So while some might dream of a negative interest rate environment where the bank pays you to have a mortgage, even in an extraordinary rate environment, that is very unlikely to happen.
(Yeah- not likely to happen unless LIE-berals manage to dig us as deeply into debt as the Europeans- if that happens all bets are OFF! Otherwise WHY are LIE-berals DISCUSSING these negative finance options unless it is a policy trial balloon?)
