If you believe criticizing Ottawa is un-Canadian—especially now—you have misunderstood democracy.
Full stop. Scrutinizing government is not disloyalty; it is a civic responsibility, regardless of who holds power.
Patriotism does not demand intellectual obedience. Too many Canadian academics appear compliant right now. I am not. Unfortunate.
My integrity is not for sale.
No one should be more pissed about government waste than someone who truly believes taxes are an act of love to their country. And, yet, this is never the case.
There's a lot of valuable information there.
@meathead@ChefGruel I have noticed this also. Likely they are optimized for quick growth, transport and shelf life. Seems like you really have to grow your own or they're 'not worth it'.
The NDP’s message is clear: if you can’t afford a home, too bad. But if you’re a condo developer who made a bad bet? Here’s a cheque from David Eby.
He may have dodged an investigation in Ottawa, but the BC Conservatives won’t stop until British Columbians get answers.
@CoffeeBlackMD I see you as a fellow traveller in a cosmos governed by entropy; a fellow fighter against disorder, sharing the quiet labor of meaning on this irreversible path.
It is good to see you here.
@CoffeeBlackMD Years ago I ran the California international marathon and angels were handing out beers on the last few miles. Proper country stuff right there!
@FischerKing64 My very tech savvy wife fell for a parking ticket text scam that somehow knew she was in another city and it looked really legit. Thankfully only $20 but yeah shot and pissed on would be fine by me.
@korean_doc 1000%. I lucked out with 3 responsible adults so now I’m the bank and they pay me interest for their homes and other endeavours. They don’t miss payments and they get it all back when I kick it. I now work for personal satisfaction and the government.
Buying a fancy car is not a sign of a midlife crisis. It’s a mark of relationship insecurity.
6 studies: When men and women have attachment anxiety, they seek status symbols to compensate and stand out among their peers.
Belonging and connection are antidotes to materialism.
I taught at Le Cordon Bleu in Chicago for three years. So many people came through with dreams of fulfilling their creative drive in a restaurant kitchen. I wish I had this video to show them. You never see a sunset because you are working the dinner shift. You never see a sunrise because you are sleeping. You are on your feet 8 to 12 hours and they hurt. You are constantly burning yourself and cutting yourself. Chances are at least one of your coworkers are drunk, and if you are female, at least one of us hitting on you. Not all kitchens are like that, but too many are.
Define “relevant”.
To me relevant means it should be taught in schools and we should agree on what a final “reconciliation” looks like
I don’t think for a moment it means an unending blank check with no auditing or oversight and an unending guilt trip for the rest of Canada
