Disinfo & malinfo are threats to democracy! We need to teach our children social emotional skills to ensure they become empathetic adults capable of critical thinking! Believe in science & learn from history! Very sad to see what's happening in the USA

This needs to be discussed publically all the time! I try to talk with my 16 & 18 year old about this every time they come home with Starbucks & other big brands (everything tech has to be apple). Stop funding the billionaires! Push for wealth distribution to actually make the world a better place

It will depend on how the general public, the peasants (myself included) react. If there is no reaction this will happen in many places. It will become "normal"

Very good article. Also if crime is up, the solution isn't more prisons and killing the bad guys, its finding out why crime is up and what to do about that. Bottom up always works better than a top down approach. Fix the foundation first.

Its infuriating. Some people think there are actual LGBTQIA+ classes being taught. Which they are not. The irony is that in Catholic schools children actually take religion classes (maybe they can be opted out of, but religion is everywhere in the catholic schools).

I was raised that way too (strict Catholic, no sex before marriage or burn in hell). I purposely did things Im not proud of and could have gotten me in trouble (luckily it didn't) and I blame it on that strict upbringing. Our laws need to change. The blame is always on the woman.

Ah, I didn't read the ruling closely enough. Regardless, it's a terrible situation. One I hope my almost 18 year old daughter never finds herself in.

From everything I've read she was extremely intoxicated (and some of these guys fed her the drinks). She consented to being with one guy. Not 5. So are they saying it's her fault for being intoxicated? That's like saying she asked for it based on wearing a revealing outfit 🀨

I get so angry when I hear this kind of thing. Maybe he should tour Afghanistan if he wants to see real oppression.

Or vote by mail! Write the name of your preferred candidate on the line, put it in the first envelope and put that envelope on the next one and send it off. Easy peasy!

Seriously! I would love that. And it makes sense. Imagine all the meds big pharma could sell for all the diseases!

I noticed that Trump also pronounced "about" as "aboot" which they do for Canadians. I love the show but hate that they are making Trump seem Canadian πŸ˜•

Yes, they are! I stopped going. Too many people lining up for expensive, mostly American produce!

Local farmers markets aren't much better. So much of the produce is American. Many vendors have signs that say "local produce" but only have 1 or 2 things local.

So they "own" the earths products but when it comes to anything else, it's always the Gederal government's fault. I thought the premiers had no control over anything πŸ€”

This makes me a bit nervous because some of my ultra conservative family in Alberta like Carney. Its like we elected a Conservative with better personality than PP. And without the rage baiting
