My kids did all the normal sports and outdoor things, played video games like Zork and Oregon Trail. My last spouse was a single Mom of two, and it seemed like they paid for it. Stepson's about the most unambitious person I ever met, though a decent parent. Step daughter just yelled at the kids and seemed to do her own thing. Didn't "come to" until she was in her 30s. Got no blood grandkids to go by, the son passed away and the daughter can't have kids. Just this morning I saw the little kid across the road blast across the street without looking and crash his scooter into the shrubs in my yard. Mom was yapping to her friends and didn't even see, I got to the kid who was bawling first and yelled to her. She didn't even notice him crying his eyes out twenty feet away.

I've actually found my grandkids more curious, more willing to learn and no more bratty than their parents were. I have friends with three autistic kids from one son. Bullshit, the youngest two learned that behaviour from the oldest as the way to get what they want.

Yeah. More and more people think they are paid less than others.

More or less referring to people who say the consensus wrong, they believe something they dug from the dregs of the Internet. You know - the fact they walked around all night with green lights on their backpacks proves Sasquatch is real. Or the lack of a purely scientific explanation means whatever claim you make is valid.

The 'screens' are merely an evolution of TV as a babysitter. Don't forget their parents were plopped in front of a TV and grew up from Sesame Street to NickelOpium their whole lives. Along with the financial need for both parents to work, or working multiple jobs to make ends meet, they have far less time and energy to spend with their kids. It's a shame.

Sorry you feel that way. People who don't believe in science, when science doesn't give a Flying F*ck if you "believe" it or not simply reveal themselves as people you should never give up any power to.

If that's your objection to Harris, you're completely hooped. WTF with the "her bombs" BS?

That's equivalent to a MORTGAGE payment!

F*ck I know you're one of those sit at home and ring up CKNW to gripe types, but I didn't think you were so bone stupid you can't figure out Grade 2 math that if humans permanently inhabit every continent on Earth except Antarctica and the other pinhead claims that only makes up 3% then someone thinks it makes up the other 97, doesn't it? I'm not that fool, I'm the math teacher FFS. Now spout some more gibberish like mathematics is leftist elitism or something cuz you can't possibly comprehend statistical data on Earth Sciences if you can't even figure out 100-3=97

Quote an amazingly timed discussion. CTV just finished major cuts in it's news programming. Global is now doing a second round of cuts to news programming. PP has promised to end the govt funding of CBC abd cripple that news programming. Well we can just get our news from Facebook and Elon's X shall we? And count on tiny independent sources that have no real trained reporters and editorial oversight or ones where there is active interjection of content under the pretense of 'balance', eh? To quote Dana Carvey's Church Lady - How convenient!

Back in the 1990s a friend visited from LA. She was a nurse practioner at a major hospital and told us how she had 'the best' medical coverage and it only cost about $5000 out of pocket to have her baby (minor complications). We just had my daughter the year before. Born by C-section and they tied the wifes tubes at the same time. She had an optional private room, we paid for a TV and a phone for the 3 day stay. We paid $81 for those non-covered options. We elected a horrible, evil socialist NDP govt in 2014 and it eliminated the $125.00 a month family medical premium with no deductibles that we had to pay as I retired and she was on medical unemployment insurance. and the employer didn't anymore. So if your employer must pay that $1500 a month for you, it seems a bit of an advantage here when employers had to pay only $150 a month. MOF this came up in the 1990s as an 'unfiair advantage' during the original NAFTA talks. BTW the same evil socialists also eliminated a bridge toll on the TransCanada highway that was costing my brother in law's company over $3000 a month. The toll was placed by the previous 'free enterprise' BC govt and the wimps in Harper's Tory national govt said not a peep about the Province imposing a toll on our main national highway. At the time they removed the MSP premium, it was the last province to charge one, so that is not unique. So it appears to every Canadian (and the rest of the civilized world) that Americans tightly hold onto your freedom to choose who can rip you off for the most over a sensible single payer plan like Bernie has talked about for ages simply because someone brainwashed you into believing that it is socialist, which it can't possibly be if every other country does it. Kind of like clinging to the Imperial measuring system, as something that must define the USA as unique.

Or you can lie like a loudmouthed madman that what people do and how they act is irrelevant to the planet and the ecosystem and oppose and hinder anyone who thinks otherwise.

Once again over 50 years later that Big Blue Marble photo hasn't sunk into some people's head yet. Remionds me of the lecturer in 1969 who told us that "the limitless bounty of the ocean will feed mankind forever". Hope that twat moved to Newfoundland or Prince Rupert.

Jeez he retired instead of deserted. What a sane choice.

She declined an interview. Sounds like she'd not the one totally desperate doesn't it? Just let her opponent keep flapping his gums, he'll win it all for her.

Preferring a convicted criminal and rapist to lead the country, they dig up something someone else did about something 30 years ago to promote their case. Swift!

He hates Catholics as they're supposed to confess their sins to the priest, whereas he can't even admit them to himself. The wife used to threaten the kids with "retroactive abortion rights". They asked their teacher and she almost fell out of her chair laughing. Said she was highly tempted to tell them it was true.

Oh yes, pomp and circumstance and all that's most important. King & country, glory etc. etc. etc.

DUH. 8 billion of us permanently occupy every other landmass on the planet. Wanna count only the space your feet take up to make your argument? You bonehead deniers are the only 'cultists'.

So maybe we should adopt the "religion is the opiate of the masses" concept and remove all protections and govt support for it, eh? Or maybe a SCOTUS ruling that freedom of religion only means the freedom to wotship Jesus in any denomination you choose?

Your long term memory is even worse than your day to day one. WTH are you talking about? She had little to do with anything affecting Canada to badmouth her on, and that is not the object of interviewing anyone. Would you also endorse the right-wing view that Canadian media is leftist because it has the guts to call DonOld a liar when he lies?

You believe that Antarctica is 97% of the world's surface and expect people to read further? They may read just to follow your descent into utter madness,

Yeah, push healthcare for everyone and anti price gouging laws as terrible communist ideas. And cackle with fellow billionaires about illegally firing workers for striking. Tell us more how tariffs protect 'the workers' while you're at it. Rub even more shit all over yourself and claim it makes you smell batter.

Pretty telling that the best one can offer is name calling while supporting a known pervert and convicted criminal as the alternative.

History Repeats "Today, institutions fundamental to the British system of Government are under attack the public schools, the house of Lords, the Church of England, the holy institution of Marriage, even our magnificent police force are no longer safe from those who would undermine our society, and it's about time we said 'enough is enough' and saw a return to the traditional British values of discipline, obedience, morality and freedom. What we want is Freedom from the reds and the blacks and the criminals Prostitutes, pansies and punks Football hooligans, juvenile delinquents Lesbians and left wing scum Freedom from the niggers and the Pakis and the unions Freedom from the Gipsies and the Jews Freedom from leftwing layabouts and liberals Freedom from the likes of you" -Tom Robinson Band 1978 Do notice the words the filter let through, and I'm sure it's not because it's context sensitive AI.
