    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    What about the “Shit Disturber” opinion just throwing things out there to see what sticks & gets conversations started? Not initially expecting to be taken seriously…?

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Members in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet don’t offer resignations for their failures. They simply wait for the next cabinet shuffle. The awkward question of accountability never needs to be asked. Disastrous headlines are averted. With the total number of ministers remaining constant...

    BC Port Strike

    Both sides recommended late Sunday that their members accept the negotiated settlement, just hours after the union criticized employers for refusing to budge on the major sticking point of contracting out of jobs. http://apple.news/AXocjvsgUQii3O2QGOD10Xg In a joint news release late Sunday, the...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    http://apple.news/AgRTL-IHjSwqNioF11isFMw The Ford Motor Company announced Thursday it was pushing back its target for building electric vehicles (EVs). Instead of rolling out EVs at a rate of 600,000 a year by the end of 2023, Ford would not reach that goal until sometime in 2024 (or maybe...

    Canada: Alberta wildfires force nearly 30,000 residents to flee

    The recent plague of forest fires has heightened climate alarmism. For climate activists with a vested interest in maintaining the narrative that the “planet is burning,” offering a more complex portrait of the situation is more difficult than sticking to the standard line. Activists engaged in...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    Here’s a Celebrity asked to define Woke, who manages to give examples sort of without any definition… http://www.youtube.com/shorts/tzwC-10O0cw …& a reporter reporting on math being a form of white supremacy: …& this feels like a parody of the idea of Wokeness: …& this is both weird and...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    Well, in all fairness, if Gerard Butler can play not only one, but two leprechauns in the same movie, then Hugh Laurie as an Oompa Loompa isn’t that big of a stretch. My opinion & evolving definition of Woke & Wokeness is only about the last decade or so, as I get busy, and I miss big...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    OK, this is interesting. Can I safely (?) guess at the timeframe that each of you (Ski, Serryah, & Dex) either formed your definitions…or the timeframe your definition is bridging? Again, this is just guesswork or discussion, knowing I’m making assumptions based upon my own definition of...

    pierres brought sexy back

    To each their own, & it takes all kinds to make the world spin. Personally, I liked the fact that even with the option of contact lenses, Poilievre just wore glasses and didn’t seem to give two shits about the optics of his choice, but that’s just me.

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    I’m generally a 6 or 8 to 1 ratio guy with booze, but now I’m curious. I enjoy a drink or two, but not being at a stage of not being rational or in control if something happens…so I dilute and pace…but the above sounds really good! What about substituting Kahlúa for the Espresso (?) because...

    We Are All Drug Dealers According to CDN Govt So They Want To Open Your Mail.

    Fun story, but my first encounter with a drug sniffing dog was while exiting Cuba the first time I had been there. I’ve been around dogs all my life, so I have some conditioned reflexes. I’m standing in line (the Cue) in a communist country, and these are long lines…waiting to get to the front...

    PEPFAR Under Threat

    I’ve never heard of this PEPFAR until this thread a few minutes ago. HIV & AIDS is a global scourge that needs a multi-national network to combat and eventually (hopefully) eradicate it. AIDS still kills millions each year, and weirdly, it’s a disease with two faces, depending on your location...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    Yeah but…pretty much means you’d also have your own definition that differs somewhat than mine. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s still a thing. Others are going to have definitions that vary greatly from mine, & that’s also not a bad thing, but it’s still a thing, and should be discussed to...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    Well, ok, I’ll give it a shot at a definition. The term “woke” started out meaning the state after waking up. About a 100 years ago it also was also being used at a term to becoming aware of the injustices around you. This definition of its use became more widespread into the 60’s…so more than...

    “Wokeness” in Canada and elsewhere…

    I have a Son who’s 35yrs old (with his own home & family) that I (sparingly) request of his assistance when I’m truly in need of something “like” a tractor or a forklift. Does that count?

    Homeless Tent Cities in Canada

    FEMA Style, even as a temporary solution is still a step in some direction as opposed to no direction. If we grow & Evolve beyond needing these….They are shipping containers.…so they can be shipped elsewhere. I’m all for it.

    Canada needs to boost home building by 50 per cent to keep up with immigration, report says

    I concur with your assessment of the situation. Currently with the current immigration quotas, the market is not keeping up. I’m advocating for controled growth so that the free market can keep up or catch up to government policy as it stands. Yes, I’m using it as a hammer on a pot to make...

    Canada needs to boost home building by 50 per cent to keep up with immigration, report says

    I’m not sure where you got that from, but ok. The free market isn’t bringing in 1/80th or more of our national population annually without a plan to house them. Given time and controlled growth the free market would catch up…but that’s not currently what’s happening. I’m not sure how the...
