@EdVorst @TheBlueGem3 Thank you. For what it’s worth, I ardently applied myself in school. I DID have some excellent teachers. Mr. Gilbert encouraged my curiosity, Mr. Kush taught me the value of mathematical proof, and Mrs Evans taught me respect by showing me the same. I shouldn’t be so jaded.
@EdVorst @TheBlueGem3 Many of my teachers tried. The PE teacher who said I was too fat tried. My English teacher who called me racist for questioning her interpretation of symbolism in Obasan tried. The grade 5 teacher that struck me for not joining the Lord’s Prayer tried. Now you’ve tried.
@timandfriends I don’t personally like the rule, but it was correctly applied here; Kirk’s timing was unfortunate for him. His positioning at the time the runner started his slide influenced that slide. It’s a stupid rule, but it’s a rule.
@deconverted_man Well, when you consider marriage is an act performed for the satisfaction and validation of external parties (gods, parents, government), the termination of that contract will invariably lead to the disapproval of most of them.

About to head into the first of many Cabinet meetings we’re having this week. In each one, we’re going to stay focused on how we can make your life more affordable, fight climate change, create good middle class jobs, and keep building an economy that works for all Canadians.
@WillieHandler There was a place for sale with that sign here in Chilliwack last year. Sold. Three months later, it was for sale again. No sign this time, though…
Queen Dildo vs the Hell’s Angels is like that rare heel-vs-heel wrestling match. You don’t know who to root for, but you know you’re going to be entertained. Trish Stratus vs Stephanie McMahon level entertained.
