I keep trying to narrow down what a Canadian is. Got one notion. Canadians hate litter and littering. It’s a cultural norm. It pisses us off greatly when our visual field is littered with trash. Perhaps a remnant of living in such magnificent natural splendor.

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

I shared your position on my local neighborhood Facebook group. Got told not to bring politics into the group by one. But many see this as an issue yet we lack the informal groups that used to drive consensus. We’re all so busy and broke that we can’t give up hours towards something like this. I’m flummoxed. How to get people with no time, not much money, and heroin like distractions (phones) to get together and demand action? I’m pretty sure you can relate as you scream from the rooftop. Do you?

This is important.

Canada changed the way it does immigration.

Economist @mikalskuterud explains how the system moved from prioritizing highly skilled newcomers to filling short-term labour market gaps - and why that shift can hit lower-income Canadians hardest.

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

Waste not, want not. Or we can have a Ford govt.

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

Why? Grok says “Proximity, cultural/linguistic similarity, job opportunities (higher wages in tech, finance, etc.), lower taxes/housing in some states, and easier mobility (e.g., TN visas, family ties).
• Popular states: Florida (warmth, no state income tax), Arizona, California, etc.”

Ironically, the elbows are marching down south.
“To the US: Flows have surged. In 2022, ~126,340 people moved from Canada to the US (including ~53,000 Canadian-born), up ~70% from 2012. Canadian-born emigration to the US hit levels not seen in over a decade by the mid-2020s.” (Grok)

This is getting seriously onerous. This combination of legislation is colluding to allow govt massive overreach without the necessary oversight and restrictions to ensure privacy and security from govt itself.

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

A new privacy bill may be introduced as soon as tomorrow. My post on why the government cannot credibly claim to treat privacy as a fundamental right while actively undermining that right in other bills and with efforts to sideline the Privacy Commissioner

Love to build a bmx pump track bike park in Winchester for my boys and the neighborhood kids.
Why?
Bc as a father I want my sons to be bold and daring. To take measured risks and be independent.
A bike park would offer that.
I needs to be close so they can bike there on their own. Not isolated, so there is implicit societal surveillance. It also needs to not be a burden upon the tax payer.

Heres the plan:

Location: beside Joel Steele community center as per photo.

Materials: gravel, clean fill and stone dust are confirmed to be donated from local quarries and landscaping businesses.

Shaping: the area would be shaped by a group of 12 volunteers who do others pump track bike parks, such as the Kemptville park and carleton place.

Cost to municipality: roughly $1000 per year for insurance and grass cutting which could be incorporated into the existing maintenance program for that lawn.

We just need council to move on it. It’s been sitting at their feet for four years.

I was told to hold off until the major construction of the main road was done. I did. I don’t think I should have. There is no pump track for the kids and there could be. We could have it now.

@raghu_venugopal @DonDavies I like Davies. He has been very good in committees. Even if he didn’t get his way, he communicated well.

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

A single elegant equation, E=mc², overturned vast swaths of established science and culture in its day. Length isn’t the measure of truth.
Your reply offers zero evidence, zero science, and zero counter-arguments, just dismissal and insults. That’s not dialogue. It’s name-calling and an attempt to rally a pile-on. Classic mob mentality.
When you’re ready to engage the argument, ie: binary sex based on gamete production, the historical distinction between sex and gender, or why physical differences persist in sports and single-sex spaces, I’ll be here, open to humble dialogue.

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

Against things like fiscal irresponsibility, government overreach and lack of transparency.

As to gender and vaccines are you open to having a discussion wherein we both posit we may be wrong and seek truth together through dialogue?

For instance I take the binary sex position. That each sex can express themselves how they like. That “Rhoda Unger proposed an alternative, the term gender. She explained that this term describes the traits and behaviors that are regarded by the culture as appropriatel to women and men. Gender is thus a social label and not a description of biology.”

Today the two are treated as synonymous. They’re not. Humans produce either large or small gametes. That binary is consistent and observable. You cannot change your sex, only appear to. Appearances are skin-deep and irrelevant in competitive sports, prisons, etc. Biology matters — and it only seems to matter one way: when males enter female spaces. Physical differences (strength, skeletal structure, etc.) survive hormones or surgery. If a medical procedure ever allowed full chromosomal/physiological sex change, that would be a different conversation.

I find this argument hard to overcome. However, I welcome its destruction should you be able to do it. I have not read or heard anyone refute it. I enjoy having notions I think are strong, destroyed, bc it frees me from the edifice. My door is always open for good dialogue. I hope I receive it.

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

A conservative in my view is fiscally responsible, accountable and therefore transparent to ensure the former. He is none of that. His cell phone going on the public record would be a good start in getting transparency, possibly leading to accountability and holding people responsible. He is not conservative enough. Not fiscally. Not accountable. Not transparent. The new blue party is new. It was founded by people with the conviction to vote against the mob or their own party, in favor of ensuring principles of accountable govt. Heard of bill 195?
Thats why I joined. Bc when someone is offered more power and less accountability and refuses, even when it means expulsion, then they are a person not easily corrupted in an arena that we know corrupts. Why? Bc power corrupts. Belinda did that. She has my support for it. I ask you to give this party some fresh views and help us reform our policies come our next AGM.

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

How about we reform electoral law such that in elections we would not allow for parties to be mentioned on ballots? It would move the needle towards electing the rep not the party. Or is it not enough in your mind? What kind of policy would you like to see? A Don Davis bill c-446?

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

@clapifthisisBS @TinaYazdani Who is “yall” in your worldview? I’m trying to understand where you’re coming from.

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

@clapifthisisBS @TinaYazdani Perhaps, but I’m polite, kind and forgiving. From this interaction I can’t say the same about you. I hope too. Presently we each have our flaws. I’m open to understanding, perhaps you could share that prior to the demeaning moniker. What is this dummy missing?

[Aaron Pete @Aaronpete_]

@JJ_McCullough This is insane.

How did this happen?

Why has this happened 5 times in such a short period?

Is there corruption involved?

If this is all organic, show the emails, show the meeting minutes, show the reach outs from these MPs.

[Stefan Kohut @stefankohut360]

@Aaronpete_ and @martenyoussef discuss. This idea in the video resonated with me. Why? Bc the truth is only the strongest argument you believe and that can change depending on what input you receive.
A conviction refers to the state of being convinced about something, often with a sense of certainty. For instance, for me, I have a conviction that the essence of justice is an absence of hypocrisy.
However firm I may believe this position to be, it could be proven wrong and I would be forced to either change my conviction, allow for the duality of options or fall into denial. I think falling into denial without justification is a misery one should not wish to inflict upon oneself. So to save one from denial, is not, one good solid option, to simply refrain from identifying yourself with something that could be proven wrong and instead identify yourself as someone who seeks the truth regardless of where it takes you?
What are your thoughts.

The office of the Auditor General of Ontario, annual report, 2025 is a must read.
I’ve learned that this “conservative” Ford govt has the highest ever recorded government advertising spending since 2005. The majority of this spending was not spent to inform Ontarian’s. It was spent on American media. 1/
