I couldn’t agree more. The only progressive party in the province is also separatist. They lose a lot of people who would otherwise vote for them, me included.

85-90% of handguns used in criminal activity in Toronto can be traced back to the USA. At what point do WE call a NATIONAL SECURITY EMERGENCY and impose some pain on the Americans? If they can do it over 41 lbs of fentanyl, surely we can do it over thousands of illegal guns.

Interesting thread. I like the way Canada is heading in order to counter the US threats of domination.

i am having trouble articulating this but a system that excuses gang rape as a youthful error on behalf of college men with ~ bright futures ~ does so because it is served by producing older men who are comfortable with, even enthusiastic about, torturing people at the system's behest

Yeah it’s not lost on me that it was a man who suggested family meal planning is rote. Research and loved experience shows that women structure their invisible labor to make the labor the men in their lives are willing to do predictable, ergo suitable to routinize.

I can't help thinking that people who describe family life this way don't actually have families; or if they do, they are used to delegating many family tasks to other people. I wonder -- who shops for food in their households? Who does laundry? Who makes sure the kids get out the door on time?
