    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    I haven't heard the term 'woke' or 'wokeness' at all before 3-4 years ago tops. If a definition existed before then, it was unknown to me. The phenomenon that it defines is definitely within the last 5 years. And I need to go back and read Dex's response. The forum seemed to skip me to page 2...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    I wouldn't call "racism is wrong" wokeness. Wokeness to me is the extreme where every little word said by anybody at any time must be edited or sanctured based upon today's standards (and not the common sense standard like "racism is wrong" but more extreme that everybody who is white must be...

    Homeless Tent Cities in Canada

    In Toronto a good number sneak onto the subway and just set up camp on a seat and ride back and forth.

    2SLGBTQQIA+

    Some newspapers use cookies to count your 'free' articles. Once you have read your allotment (some per month, per year, or life) they put up their paywall.

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    I think the earth was warmer. The prevailing theory is that the temperature drop caused by the meteor/comet impact with the earth killed them.

    2SLGBTQQIA+

    I was able to read it. But they probably have number of free article limits.

    Notorious child killer Paul Bernardo transferred to Quebec institution

    To be honest, that approach works as well. But as long as they languish away without chance of parole, it won't bother me if they get an hour or 2 in the yard, But if they don't, I won't be leading the protest brigade to 'correct the injustice' either.

    Notorious child killer Paul Bernardo transferred to Quebec institution

    I am proposing locking him up the rest of his life. Most of the 'freedoms' in prison are a part of that #4 clause. Without the #4, there is no need to provide him gym time, or yard time. Just necessities of life like food or medical care as required. Perhaps you took my suggestion of throwing...

    Notorious child killer Paul Bernardo transferred to Quebec institution

    So what exactly is your objection to a convicted first degree murderer being confined to prison for life? Aside from point 4 where rehabilitation would be pointless, the other 3 still apply. And again, what I am proposing is not Canadian law by any stretch. Our max term is 25 years before chance...

    Notorious child killer Paul Bernardo transferred to Quebec institution

    What is the purpose of jails then? Obviously we should just stop putting people there and sentence everybody with sternly worded letters.

    Notorious child killer Paul Bernardo transferred to Quebec institution

    The emotional tramma of being in a cell for the rest of ones life is the price for ending another person's life deliberately. That person has no more rights. The do support them having the right to terminate their life. I just feel the risk of finding out that someone is innocent after they have...

    Notorious child killer Paul Bernardo transferred to Quebec institution

    I don't support the death penalty. I think the punishment for first degree murder should be life in prison. But that life should be in a cell with some basic food thrown at you 2-3 times a day. Nothing else. He forfeited his rights to a normal life when he did those non-human acts on those girls.

    Roe v. Wade overturned?

    My basic understanding of the pro-live position is that they feel that abortion is being used as a form of birth control and killing unborn children. So the law would protect these unborn babies. Just not this baby. This is the problem when you remove the exceptions from the law and that is all...

    Oppenheimer.

    I heard it was a story about some WWII guy figuring out a way to nuke Barbie or something.

    NS Floods

    I assume at least the fires are now out. I think they said 300mm of rain in 1 day which is 1 foot. That is insane.

    Would you pay to use your heated seats?

    I would not pay for anything that is not currently a subscription service as a subscription service. If it was made subscription, not only would I not pay for it but I would want it removed from the vehicle or at least the options I am paying for in the sticker price.
