This. On super obvious moral and practical matters when you know somebody is being insane, just do this: Square your shoulders, take a deep breath, look them in the eyes, and tell them no. I don't believe that, I am not doing that, I am not saying that. That is wrong. No.
Literally all people have to do is just say β€œno”. You can fix a lot of problems both personally and politically saying β€œno”.

I think for a lot of things, say homecare and support work, the wages are simply being undercut by potential immigrant labour and so people do not pursue these disciplines. Then, more foreign workers are needed. A chicken and egg sort of problem.
Replying to @Smileyyeg
I’ve been under the impression that the government throttles the medical training supply chain. But. They have no problem hiring foreign talent. Do our children have any problems or hurdles if they want to get trained in the healthcare system? Are there quotas and limits? Who has a story?

Exercising and my shoulders hurt a lot, very soar and tired. Because I was playing this game with my niece where I lifted her up by the ankles so she could see things upside down. Totally worth it 🩡

And once more, the French seek to negotiate the terms of their surrender.
BREAKING: France offers students $4.5 billion in school renovations and education reforms in a bid to end nationwide protests that have erupted into riots & looting.

38% of non-white Canadians think there are too many non-white immigrants compared to 34% of white Canadians who think so
A new poll on immigration from the Environics Institute finds that first-generation Canadians and non-white Canadians have stronger opinions against immigration than white Canadians and third-generation+ Canadians. 63% of first-generation Canadians and 60% of non-white Canadians think too many immigrants are not adopting Canadian values. 57% of first-generation Canadians and 54% of non-white Canadians think that many refugee claimants are fake.

Listen to the Repath series by Mia Hughes and Stella O'Malley. If you care, like I do, about the inappropriate treatment and social allowance for so-called trans women, listen to the three episodes and know everything. Understand the history of this and how it came about, learn about the techniques our opponents have used to make dominant a clearly insane ideology. Learn the shape and size of it. Know thine enemy. youtube.com/watch?v=p226i5Fs…

"Hey, let's use Nazi level gene sequencing to differentiate Canadians based on their phenotypical characteristics and then make different laws and levels of citizenship based on that. We'll call anyone who disagrees racist!" - Canadian "progressives"

Racist is singling people out literally based on the proportion of their genotype belonging to specific backgrounds. You people are a bunch of morons.
Pandering to racism drives clicks.

When I workout, I start with push-ups. Nice, slow, rest at the extension, perfect form. I weigh a bit under 210. I hate them, and so start with the thing I would otherwise dread. Life is suffering. Welcome to exercise in your 40s.

Full disclosure: I met Andrew Scheer when he was running for CPC leader and this is what he told me when I asked about it. I thought it was a terrible answer at the time but now I totally agree with him.

It sucks to say, but ignoring Indigenous people's endless demands and confrontations is the first step in making change in this country.

The greatest risk to wildlife is the fuel that runs the tankers, not what they are carrying. Heavy crude is relatively easy to separate from water since its density is quite different. Tanker fuel not so much. Makes a total mockery of the whole thing.
The chief anti-pipeline argument was that it would "kill the orcas." Any cursory investigation showed that was bullshit, and I suspect many of them knew it was bullshit. The orcas, all else being equal, didn't even notice.

Even if not a single Palestinian is killed by a single Israeli soldier, there is an ongoing and active genocide. Crazy, but progressives in Canada argue there is an ongoing genocide of Indigenous people (ongoing and somewhat unsuccessful, given it has been 150 years).

It is just totally crazy nonsense. Truth and reconciliation though does not mean truth as in scientific truth, it means truth in terms of accepting "lived experience" no matter what, that to not do so is racist.

Women don't even have to swipe and match, can just look through all their likes and choose who to date. This because so many women have pulled themselves from the dating pool entirely.
🚨 DATING APP EXPERIMENT 🚨 We put 6’3” Terra Chad up against an overweight woman in NYC for 24 hours. Terra Chad: 340 likes Her: 677 likes She literally DOUBLED a 6’3” attractive guy. Read that again. One of the biggest misconceptions in modern dating is that Chad is playing on easy mode. He is. But Women are playing a completely different video game…

A judge who over turns the dangerous offender status of a violent man who raped and killed one young woman and strangled another into disability so he can attend law school with other young women is not an activist. She’s a psychopath. Language matters here
