Well, what is in the curriculum and for what ages. We had all sorts of nonsense spouted about the Ontario Health curriculum that was complete fabrication of the pious right, I strongly suspect that they are doing the same in BC. Yes there are advocacy groups that create graphics like the one you linked above, they are not much different than the Evangelical Christians that do the exact same thing with different graphics.

Why to women only?

Wrong thread, but that is not what Trudeau did.

Yawn

Getting back to statistics, and the fact this was started because of the sentencing of Larry Nassar, we should be able to compile statistics of his case alone. How many victims ended up coming forward, and how many of them kept silent about the crime for years and why?

The problem is there is a big difference between promoting tolerance and pushing hormone therapy (or surgery) on children. It is hard to say who has said what from the trail I have read so far, but we do have the extremes present.

Sorry, I should have said medium density. Something way above the suburban area I lived in with all the street parking (no overnight) available. Probably the best way to describe density would be number of families per mile of local roads, but then at the other extreme we have very rural populations with other issues that affect mail delivery. A good comparison is the neighbourhood where I had a community mailbox had one family every 50-100' (times two sides of road) and driveway parking, currently I spend a lot of time in a neighbourhood with 4-6 families every 40 feet or so (time two sides of road) which is about 10 times as dense and the roads are mostly one way and realtively narrow with a housing setback one quarter as far and overnight street parking.

I agree that what is taught should be evidence based, but without knowing what exactly is being taught (not some biased view that has no relation in reality like we recently saw with the Ontario Health curriculum) and what is being said about it then all we have is innuendo.

Could you point out some of the threads I have started with those sort of attacks?

Agreed, I have asked the question myself many times before. Not all neighbourhoods are the same, and high density neighbourhoods have very little room to put mailboxes, let alone the multitude of parking spaces adjacent and/or across the street from them.

We have an unsupported allegation from Barbara Kay that some guy is being railroaded because of his beliefs, and you go off an start labeling people loony (and full of vicious intolerance). I am simply asking for an adult conversation. What exactly is this guy opposing (not the bold on exactly), what exactly did he say about it? When we have that established, perhaps we can actually have a conversation. I looked through Kay's article, but couldn't find it. She references SOGI 123 (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity), which is quite meaningless and certainly doesn't relate what he said about it. Thank you for your deep but heavily biased insight. You seem to be incapable of understanding that terms like loony left, and vicious intolerance are themselves ad-hominem nonsense.

Ok, then those new neighbourhoods with their wide streets and large medians to hold mailboxes can pay for the older neighbourhoods to be upgraded as such - fair is fair. Thinking you can retrofit a solution from vastly different conditions is the issue. Older neighbourhoods tend to have a significantly higher percentage of the population that walks, cycles, and/or uses public transit. I have lived in newer neighbourhoods, all we have is people stopping by the community mailbox in their car; I used to walk, but I was in the minority.

I think he hit the nail on the head with that one, saying they would fit right in with the many Canadians that want Ottawa to butt out.

I guess asking for an adult conversion is too much.

From a societal standpoint, I support freedom of religion (as expressed in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms). Regardless of what I think of other peoples opinions on matters outside of science, I agree that they are entitled to those opinions and to express them freely in society as long as they do not infringe on other peoples rights. Way too often we have people trying to infringe on others with their justification that "my religion is better than your religion", or "my religion is better than no religion" and we have to recognize that they have then exceeded the bounds of freedom of religion because they are infringing on others. While I think that society would be better off without any of the religious bunk, history has demonstrated that trying to take it away has resulted in terrible atrocities. In nature we have many examples of family and larger units cooperating for mutual benefit, and we also have many examples of symbiotic relationships between different species. Natural selection is what has given us our morals, and life itself is its own reward. We do not have to fear a nihilistic reality because we do have purpose based on those morals that have been developed and passed down through countless generations. There is no more validity of purpose being defined by some omniscient being than there is of purpose being developed by man. Just like we ask where God came from, it is valid to ask why did he create that purpose; was it just some cruel joke to entertain him? I agree except for the ALL. There is much knowledge that ancient civilizations had that has not been passed down through the Bible, but through other texts, traditions, and oral history.

Support is not the correct term here. Yes, some creationists have retold their fairy tales in a manner that adopts them to the big bang theory, but science does not support creation nonsense because there is zero evidence.

Does balancing the budget fit in there somewhere? I believe that would result in about $70 billion deficit.

I am too much a gentleman to take that bait.

Unlike the XYY conservative males with learning disabilities and delayed development of speech and language skills.

You are right, praising the "very fine" neo-NAZIs/white supremists is good for America, it takes a very stable genius to come up with sh*thole things like that.

The old double down, oh well I didn't expect much to begin with.

I don't have a version, I only have the facts that have been made public. Speculation is not my cup of tea.

Yes, I have a picture of Soros on my mantle which I prey to daily. Boy, sometimes being off your rocker is a significant improvement.

dumbocrats? Really, is that all you have? How about growing up. You conveniently ignore the Republican controlled Congress that stalled all progress, but then it more convenient to blame 'dumbocrats'.
