Mail in voting isn’t necessary. Absentee ballots are already available. Also this...

You think that when someone votes from out of state, while they are serving their country, that they have no better reason for mailing in their ballot than some dbag who just doesn't want to get off his couch?

"Lot of trumpers saying the protesters were vandalising (sic) or burning down buildings, but I ask you where's the proof? Maybe the owners of those business decided to vandalize and burn down their own shop." Serious comment on CBC https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/kenosha-biden-trip-1.5710517

Indeed. Why isn't the PPC party not on the list?

There is no inherit bias against minority groups. Unless you think people look at the race checked off in an application and toss it aside. Maybe decades ago, but not anymore. Not for a long time. Discriminating against White and Asian students to foster "equality" is wrong. Discrimination in any form based on somebody's skin colour, religion, race, sex, etc is always wrong. No matter what direction you push it.

You should be able to appreciate that ideas are hardly the same thing as ideology - in spite of the etymology. I have a fair bit of experience with people who have entered academia to pursue academic excellence and expand the base of knowledge and end up running away from the extreme leftist political environment that destroys any academic ethics that might be trying to survive. This is hardly a new thing. My wife encountered ultra-racist academics over 40 years ago in a faculty of education where aboriginal students were given a pass on the academic requirements for both entry and graduation - ending up with the same qualifications as those who actually DID the work and legitimately passed the exams. An engineer who worked for me became a good friend, and his wife (a genuine maritime liberal) insisted that our views on that subject (after we had lived in the North for a decade) were very racist, so she enrolled in a class at our nearby university in aboriginal studies. She was (is) a "type A" personality/student and was stunned to see her marks come in middle of the pack when she knew fully well she had aced the course content while people who should never have been given a passing grade were granted top rank. She was a lot less liberal/Liberal after that experience and her prof went on to become an NDP cabinet minister. Fast forward a couple of decades and our eldest was teaching and in grad school (sciences at same institution) and was the ONLY fluently anglo (her second language) person in her group and required (by faculty supervisor) to review all papers published in her department as the English was so bad that it would reflect on the ratings of their faculty. In reality she found that not only was the English unacceptable, but the science wasn't all that good either. The political component of the failure of our academic, cultural and economic world is very significant and very real.

It's been proven over and over again that freedom of speech laws don't give you the right to yell "BOMB" in an airport or tell the truth on college campuses.
