  • Anon is a retard. Also why did that word go out of style? I know damn well it’s because it was abused but by definition:

    to delay or impede the development or progress of : to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment

    It’s a fair critique. We need to stop this PC bullshit. I’m saying this as a father of two children in the spectrum and neither of them are retards.





  • I’ve been pondering this one because I grew up a country boy and now live in the city. What you’re talking about still exists. I live in Newmarket, ON and still rarely lock my doors and so all the things you mention.

    John Ralston Saul said, and I’m paraphrasing, what made Canadians special was the uniqueness in how we came to be. Our relationship with “the other” now defined as immigrants, comes from a natural place of understanding and respect. You become a Canadian but you also keep your identity because Canada is made stronger by that inter-weaving of social fabrics.

    I will agree that our country is hurting but I would argue the biggest threat to our nation is the immigration of American style identity politics that started back in the 80’s and has since escalated to a wave of “Fuck Trudeau”.

    I have said before what truly scares me is that the Conservative movement in all their bigoted while male centric policies has realized that they can synergize their vitriol with people who have come here from brutally regressive countries when it comes to the treatment of women, gays and minorities.

    Big picture we are going in the right direction but it’s going to be a rough decade or so.
