  1. Trudeau will find a way to make ordinary Canadians responsible. Except, of course, those who support his party. They're the finest people who ever walked the face of the earth.

  2. Our gratitude goes out to the Calgary Police for their work that keeps us safe. Especially the wounded officer. May he heal and recover quickly.

  3.  @allthesame3856  An upside-down flag is a symbolic distress signal in times of emergency, an urgent plea for support and help. Get over it. Btw, playing the r card for cheap and dishonest points actually harms efforts to combat r-sim. So congratulations for literally helping r-ists. What a star.👎

  4. Right at the exact moment the spokesman (Edit: Much worse, the minister) said it was all about making it easier for people to "come and visit," you could hear the conviction evaporate from his voice.

  5. I've never gotten how snowmelt that drains away on rivers which flow at, say, 3 mph takes so long to get to the Atlantic. That's near enough to 100 miles a day, and the snow was gone quite some time ago.

  6. Breaking news: Trudeau has appointed an old family friend to investigate. A news conference is scheduled for 8 a.m., which leaks suggest will be for the purpose of the appointee announcing that his investigation has concluded and the Liberal govt. of PM Peter Pan has been found innocent of all wrongdoing. Stay with us as this develops😄

  8. Buh-bye.

  9. Breaking news within the past hour: Active shooter in Scarborough, shooting at police. Police advise people to stay in their basements. People saying 'this is out of control' are probably right.

  10.  @guymontag2948  (1) It wasn't a generalization in the first place! He said everywhere it goes in the world.   (2) Generalizations are "always" wrong? 😂 (3) Wakey-wakey! Grab a coffee. Take some deep breaths.

  11. What's your CPP membership number?

  12. A huge fraction of the population is really poor. They may be upright people with lower-paying or part-time jobs. Or they may be on social assistance, have little future in the job market, use drugs and be in and out of trouble with the law. If there aren't any landlords who aren't very fussy and are willing to split up a home into tiny rooms, where on earth can such people live? They don't have the $2k a month for a more reasonable apartment and perhaps never will. (And if they suddenly all did, then the price would instantly rise to $3k.) If landlords like this one are put out of business, many of their tenants won't find another place and will be added to the ranks of the homeless. I can see an attempt to marginalize a really undesirable tiny fraction of the population like 2% by steering them out of decent neighbourhoods and into institutional settings, shelters, the very most run-down neighbourhoods, or even completely out of town. It's not a good way to treat people, but I know that's what most residents of most areas would prefer. However, if the fraction is 10% or 20% that's not possible. Ordinary neighbourhoods can't be shielded any longer from a general impoverishment and social decay on the scale of the one that's occurring.

  13.  @JaffaRoad  He was right in a pedantic, sanctimonious and irrelevant way, but you're way more right.👍

  14. Even today if you die destitute and there's no one to arrange a paid burial, you will be buried in an unmarked grave. It's handled by the municipality. The term is pauper's grave, and many thousands of Canadians are buried that way every year. The practice will be around forever, I imagine. The largest number are buried by the City of Toronto.

  19. There's only one major university in Toronto. Just ask anyone from absolutely anywhere on Earth outside the GTA. The other two are deservedly totally obscure. Universities take at least a lifetime to have even a slim chance of maturing and achieving excellence. York didn't even exist until the 1960s and so-called "TMU" wasn't a university at all until about two decades ago.

  20.  @Megafoot2164  You know you can just go back and edit it, don't you? It just needs some hard returns. Easy. Good luck, you've picked the right side of a good issue.

  21. ​ @Megafoot2164  Pro tip: It usually doesn't even matter where you put the paragraph break. Not kidding, and I've written and edited for a living since I was 25. Of course if you're starting a totally new subject then it's obvious. But otherwise just throw one in every one to three sentences and don't worry for more than three seconds about exactly where. (Also, if you really want to punch any sentence for effect, even if it's only a few or several words, make it a standalone paragraph. But this practice when used for short sentences is a bit showy, so don't go nuts doing it all over the place. It's killer but it's for spot use.) Trust me, you're intimidated for no reason. Number of people who are going to say: "Wow, they don't know where to start a new paragraph. I'm so mad and let down": Zero. But put up a wall of text and people just say "Forget it" and move on. Final note: you're definitely a good writer. Cut this ball and chain that's hampering you. Quickly choose some spots to smash the return key twice and get it over with.

  23. Let's just say he's no Jacques Chirac or Francois Mitterand. (Mitterand was practically a communist, but let that pass for the moment.) To me, he "doesn't fill the suit," as they say.

  26.  @Puggalug  You appear to be unaware that Jesus is a major figure in Islam. That's right, he's considered one of its most important prophets. So yes, they love him, and it's an elementary fact about that religion.

  28. 10.8% food inflation is just not believable. It's twice that at least. StatsCan has lost credibility.

  29.  @markusmuller6173  That's not a terribly interesting question to me. They were garbage-y people to start with and something happened to their minds. What made Jack the Ripper behave like that?

  31.  @guymontag2948  You're defining a generalization, then, as false. But it is a generalization, yet not false, to say, for example, that summer weather is warm in Chicago, let there be whatever small number of chilly days from time to time.

  32.  @guymontag2948  Not really, no. To me stereotyping is having the same thing over and over, i.e. the meaning of the word in science. What I instead have in mind are correlations of the stronger sort. And I say they deserve plenty of attention, since they're half of what we've got. It's a main current in Western thought, culture and civilization for a couple of centuries now.

  33. Smoke another one. China is not promoting peace. It is doing the only thing which it thinks serves its own interests, which is to tell its chosen enemy, the US, that it is doing the wrong thing. However, the US is very much doing the right thing, and so is Canada. But smoke another one.

  39. I deplore the use of the words male and female as nouns for human beings. It's livestock and other animals which should be called males and females. People are men and women, unless they're children, in which case they're boys and girls. To respect your viewers, respect the English language.

  40. I don't get it. What's the reason for making a connection?  Bullion either has serial numbers or it doesn't. (Smaller bars don't.)  If it does, it can be traceable. If it doesn't, it can't. Pretty simple.

  41. This video seems to imply that the US findings make Canada's allegations look baseless. I find that an absurd and senseless interpretation. On the contrary, the US findings lend considerable credibility to Canada's allegations. It looks as though India has disrespectfully sent assassins to both the US and Canada.

  42. Don't say "Eglington." It has one g, not two. Don't say "ashphalt." It has one h, not two. Don't say "on a whole." It's "as a whole."

  43. It's quite legitimately news in Montréal and Quebec, just not across the country. But the beauty of YouTube is that you only watch what interests you. So why didn't you just type "liberal corruption" in the search box if that's what interests you? Seriously, why?🤨 Think about it, buddy, you clicked and nobody forced you or tricked you into it.

  45.  @valerierodger  Nevertheless it's a dumb word, for the reason he stated, namely that Jews and Arabs are both Semites. Now let's not drag this out any more. It's tedious.

  46. Defending his own firm, the architect stresses that 11 out of thousands of roof panels need replacing. That makes it sound minor, but let's consider First Canadian Place, which had one 140kg slab of marble fall off it in 2007. Soon the owner replaced all 45,000 cladding panels. It cost over $100 million. Best not to opt for half measures.

  50. Wow, so many people think lightning is spelled lightening. 'Lightening' is a word, it just has a totally different meaning. It means 'making or becoming less heavy' or 'making or becoming less dark.' Nothing to do with electricity.
