I agree. But it doesn't sound like that to Americans. I was highlighting the major cultural dichotomy in the attitude towards race in Canada versus USA. We need to be reminded who we are up here- we are not Americans. Because the leftist dunderheads see it on tv and automatically identify with it, by the hive-like mentality that is their nature. Somebody get me a can of Raid...

Another one that also relates to this thread is when Ford became premier, he rolled back Wynne's new woke sex-ed plan which involved teaching about gay sex directly in the elementary school cirriculum. https://globalnews.ca/news/4327836/doug-ford-1998-sex-ed-curriculum-dangerous/amp/

Yes of course it did, in the USA. In Canada it was a political fad coming out of our desire to copy everything we see on American news. People staged protests calling for it. There were calls for it by councillors in various cities. It was a social movement with some political support and given media time, that has been rolled back. The bigger problem is that it resulted in serious recruitment issues that are still being dealt with as a result of the fallout. "Nice try" yourself.

Defund the police has been rolled back.

So the straight answer is "yes", you're ok with it.

I don't mind some teasing as long as it's done in good humour, and as long as there is another intelligent point in it somehow. Blatant name calling is just dull. This forum is dull to me when most of the posts are intended to be hurtful toward the other. Not saying you need to be more like me. But yeah, you people need to be more like me

It's a de-humanizing term. It's disappointing to see you taking the low road.

What you are saying sounds like racism to me. There's a culture in America that sees everything in terms of skin colour. These are not Canadian values.

It's a hateful and dismissive term to denigrate those on the right who dislike what is currently going on.

People have had enough and some are speaking out, or taking their kids out of classrooms that do this. I can certainly see the point for a religous muslim family to be offended at teaching their kids about transexualism, especially in the manner it is being done recently. These are sensitive issues that arguably do not belong in the classroom at all, for those who believe schools should only focus on the three R's. Especially as they are a political football even among adults. And I've been pretty clear in my opinion on how politics in this day and age really needs to be reigned in. Another point was raised earlier about pride parades starting in the 90's are now a thing that's completely normalized. Yes it is, and that speaks to the place we are at as a country. People who are gay need to feel that they belong, and Canada (the west actually) already says yes they do. Therefore I see no reason to put heavy emphasis on this, it's a non-problem and that's as far as we need to go.

It should only be discussed in the same context as heterosexuality is discussed/ taught at various stages of kids development. There should be some discussion, but I see no need to give special emphasis to homosexuality. It should be done tastefully. Drag Queens are not acceptable and do not represent ordinary gays or trannies in normal everyday life, imo. Same reason there's no need to bring a female stripper into the grade 5 class to show off her pole-dancing techniques.

It seems to me Albertans are a no-bullshit group who will eliminate any leader who crosses a certain line. And rightly so. I do like it. Yes sir, I likeitalot...

They gained a few, but it can be expected in light of the intense media campaign and (likely) cash injection by the federalis. Most likely because they got more limp-wristed leftist tards to come out of the basement and vote.

It's clear she's the inevitable choice. I hear she intends to decriminalize all drugs as per Vancouver and other places. Disaster is on the way.

Still got the majority, and that after a slash-and-burn campaign against her sanctioned by the media and funded by the federal stooges.

Totalitarianism on the left smells like totalitarianism on the right. Ain't it funny?

Exactly. The people always know what they need and what is right for them, their place and time. That is how Hitler got elected. Demockracy

I would not trust any polls or other media information at this point in time. Given that the CBC and other "approved" media portrayed Smith as the Devil in a little black dress.

Oh you thought I was speaking to you, is that it? Well if the shoe fits... Looks good on ya Cinderfella

No Michael Hardener. But they are working on it now, in the elementary schools.

The good thing about this forum and other online places like facebook and twitter is that as they descend to shitholes the average persons whom are asleep will subconsciously realize the internet is a piece of crap and they will start switch it off and move on to a real life all thanks to toadstools like you people

Yeah that makes sense. I wonder, given the relatively low percentage of people in society who are trans, then another factor for how many of them are serious athletes, we must be talking about a very small group of people here. There may not be a solution. You can't have it all in this life.

There are not enough people in 3 and 4, maybe. My suggestion, create an "open" category. Wide open
