    UK General Election to be on 4th July

    Beeb's calling 410 seats for Labour, 131 for the Tories, and single or low-double digits for the no-hopers.

    Reparations for Black Canadians

    That's what a trial would determine, were one held. A class action against Canada (or the U.S., or one of its constituent states). It would be a novel legal theory, that the country in its corporate person is responsible for the ongoing effects of past legal, mandatory discrimination, such as...

    Reparations for Black Canadians

    Ah yes. The old "Not all criminals are caught and punished, so I shouldn't be punished for my crimes" argument.

    Y'all have a lot of pedestrians in toilet bowls up yonder? Trump's. Not hard to spot.

    Reparations for Black Canadians

    Well, ya can't actually compensate the slaves, being dead and beyond the need for money, y'know? And who you callin' an "asset," BOY?

    Nah, put those flags on the interior of toilet bowls. Make it a law.

    Nonsense. A TRUE terrorist would never apologize! A Canadian "terrorist," probably.

    Reparations for Black Canadians

    I have experience with these kinds of questions because of my professional career dealing with issues like "Can you put mushrooms on meatlovers?" and "When exactly does the clock start on 'delivery in 20 minutes or it's free?'"

    Yep. "Cool crosswalk, but I was so busy admiring it I kinda ran over a kindergarten class. Sorry."

    Reparations for Black Canadians

    As I understand it, reparations are for more than slavery, and include slavery, racial segregation, unequal treatment before the law, other types of discrimination, and "racism" generally. Hard to quantify, but quantifying such things is what civil suits are for, assuming the plaintiff wins.

    Reparations for Black Canadians

    There is a precedent in the U.S. for reparations. The Japanese-Americans who were interned in WWII got 20,000 bucks a head under the Civil Rights Act of 1988. Of course, that one was easy. It was restricted to those individuals who personally suffered "deprivation of life, liberty, or...

    Reparations for Black Canadians

    Maybe y'all should do it as a civil class-action suit. Canadians disadvantaged because of their colour, sex, Native status, sexuality, or gender, could sue Canada, which is a corporate person, prove their damages, and get paid. Canada would have available to it all the defences that a party to...

    Why not? Are they not entitled to vote?

    masterdebate

    The primary election ballots list the names of the candidates, not the delegates, so no, I doubt most Murkans understand exactly how the process works. This is relevant now because of what I said about the intention to vote for X is not binding. At the Democratic Convention, there's likely to...
