@premierbhiggs Let’s not forget that Florida governor Ron Desantis’s infamous “Don’t Say Gay Bill” is actually titled “Parental Rights in Education.” Higgs’s idealogical peer has been flagged by the UN’s human rights commission. Now he has brought Florida’s LGBTQ+ hatred to our doorstep.
@palladianblue@premierbhiggs Citing Piaget and Rogers like this constitutes the logical fallacy of appeal to authority. Them not studying transgenderism does not mean it didn’t/doesn’t exist. If you want contemporary psychological expertise, check out the APA. https://t.co/8rU2fzyxVC
@InfoAMSJ Removing the democratic power of local education and health councils is a troubling authoritarian step. The NB government will be able to appoint cronies who oversee the implementation of unpopular policies. I urge more respect for Canada’s federalist ideals.
@colinmcphail As a CBC personality, are you bound by a code of professional ethics to not make fun of Elliotte Friedman’s hair? Too bad, if so. I mean, it’s getting out of hand. It’s a follicular frenzy.
@colinmcphail @thewrightpage I had a odd coming of age moment recently where I realized Information Morning was being produced and presented by people my age. I remember when CBC Radio used to be for old people. But now that’s me. Thanks for keeping me connected to the community.
@thewrightpage As mayor-god of Quispamsis, I’d construct an absolutely hideous overpass from the centre of Vincent Rd. to the Tim Hortons intersection on Hampton Rd. It’ll shave 3 minutes off my travel, and sate my childhood frustration with biking 40 mins to get to Blockbuster.
@thewrightpage RE: First Nations Tax Agreement. This is what white supremacy looks like in NB: not white hoods and burning crosses, but father-knows-best legislation. Denying the chiefs a chance to speak shows the Higgs government is not interested in Truth or Reconciliation.
@thewrightpage Twice a year I hear the same thing from everyone I know: let’s get rid of the time change. No one likes it, but nothing is done about it, except for the repeated chorus of complaints among friend groups. Perhaps this should be a referendum in the province.
@JenicaAtwin You just asked a Bloc MP about her thoughts on sovereignty rights after she said the federal government needs to determine “moderate livelihood” for indigenous peoples. I laughed at how quickly she sat down thereafter 😂.
@milesofgray I felt seen when you said Coco brought you to tears. Like a wrecking ball, it smashed through the wall of masculin stoicism I had built up in 32 years of patriarchy. I went full Van Der Beek in front of my Gr. 10 students as we watched. Now I cry all the time.
@milesofgray according to https://t.co/28Q4kVYFWO, about 10% of people have caffeine hyposensitivity, due to faster caffeine metabolism. This is a genetic trait, so it makes sense that your mother would be the same. You also likely have a high tolerance.
@DailyZeitgeist Gnarly hamster story: as a kid, my cousin invited my pet rat into his pet hamster’s cage. Hamster bit the rat’s tail, rat spun and bit him directly on the spine. Hamster instantly paralyzed. Kids scarred for life.
@milesofgray I thought I was too cultured to engage, but after an evening of passively watching with my wife, I’m now fully engaged in roasting marshmallows on the trash fire that is American culture. Looking forward to 420 Day Fiancé.
@DailyZeitgeist@milesofgray Preordered Ms. Monopoly when I heard about it on your show. Can’t wait to rip it apart with my students in Women, Media, and Culture 120 next semester. Sadly, the biological clock is not a feature.
