They want people to forget about the economy and inflation. The housing shortages.........and all the most relevant "disasters" that actually impact most Canadians. They want to distract from the reality happening on the streets!
So......they show us scary movies.
Every storm is a big news!
-
What a bummer! The storm went OFF-SCRIPT! ?
Instead of the anticipated catgory 3 - it weakened to categoty 1!
But CBC still has to maintain its desired scary narratibe - comparing it with storm surges brought on by Katrina, and other storms! "There'll be floodings.....and drownings...." ?

It was a Cat 3 storm at landfall. That's a significant storm.

It went off script so I guess they'll just have to come up with another one...

Well - CTV says: Toronto hadn't reached the 30's in August. Must be bad. ?

I remember years - even last year, and the year before, and before that - heat temperatures during the summer reaching 35, sometimes even 39! I would plan my day to make sure I was inside before 10 am.

@Aristides - we should ban air travel!
And cruise liners!
And houses should be downsized drastically!
How is that for starters?

Canadian Tire - going cashless?
Only one cashier accepts cash. The rest are all cashless.
I hate being coerced and manipulated.

Lol, when i see an old lady counting out pennies - or, a very slow cashier for that matter - I go to another line. But you're not given any choice now with Canadian Tire.
I do hope that skimmer scam with those check-out debit machines found at Walmart in USA wouldn't come here. What are the chances?
-
The problem with doing away with cash for me? It gives the system, and whoever is at the helm at the time, too much control.
But that’s not the end game, they want even more control. CBDC will give them that. It’s a global strategy that country after country will be bringing in. Most countries have CBDC waiting in the wings.
That means it’s a global strategy. And those with critical thinking skills then ask, who is behind a global push to CBDC?

Cash is not going away. There are still uses for cash. But for retail it's quickly going out of style. People, by and large, don't want to carry cash on them. You can be a target of theft and it's a sunk cost that you've already withdrawn a pre-set amount of cash as opposed to using the cash or credit you need for a specific transaction at POS.
A Cash-only line is like having an Express line.

Jason Aldean Song Triggers Leftist Snowflakes
betsy replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Aldean is exercising his right, and people like you are trying to prevent him. What you do, is a direct attack on democracy! Freedom of expression’ is one of the fundamental freedoms protected by section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.[1] Section 2(b) provides that everyone has “freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.”[2] Given the breadth of the underlying objectives, the guarantee of free expression has been held to apply to artistic, educational and even commercial expression, as well as political expression. https://www.constitutionalstudies.ca/2019/07/freedom-of-expression/ Furthermore - What is CMT? It's supposed to be a channel devoted to country music and country music videos! Now, you're saying........................................it's back to EXCLUSION for those we don't agree with? Imagine news about feminism and LGBTQ being excluded from news channels. -

Jason Aldean Song Triggers Leftist Snowflakes

What's the difference? Does it matter where a crime is committed. I suppose that will be your answer if anyone tried to storm you home? ? -
You better review all my posts! What equal rights are you on about? WOMEN .........had found out, they don't! Their natural identities as women is being replaced by terms that would've been deemed ABUSIVE a few years back! Women are no longer being called, women. Imagine being called, "birthing people!" What is this? A precursor to ....................................A HANDMAID'S TALE? ? Bye.
-
@impartialobserver We should all have equal rights! But we don't. What do you mean, "what demands?" HAVE YOU WATCHED THE OP? Unless you watch and argue based on what's already on the table - don't bug me with silly arguments. Boy - you should understand the issue being put forth before you get into a serious discussion. I'll ignore you for now until you've got something worth responding to.

Commonwealth Games cancelled in Australia. The reason: 67 Billion dollars.
Oh, dear. They're looking for a replacement.....no one's coming forward to volunteer.
What are the chances Trudeau will step in to save the day?
-
A billion is a thousand million dollars
There were 5,000 athletes at the 2022 Commonwealth games
Sixty-seven thousand million dollars is almost thirteen and a half million dollars spent per athlete.
-
You forgot a decimal point. The estimate is 6 to 7 billion. The original estimate was 2 billion.
QuoteCGF said the estimate of A$6bn is double the figure they were advised of at a board meeting last month, and that the increase in costs were due to the "unique regional delivery model" that Victoria chose for the games.
Sounds like they just let the project get away from them.

Toronto spent a bit north of 2 billion for the Pan Am Games in 2015. 7 Billion is absurd.

Of course, I want something to be done about it. BECAUSE..............WE HADN'T IGNORED THEM! We're now dealing with the results of listening AND CATERING to their demands! By "we," I mean society and government and all these institutions/businesses that had capitulated and catered to them! Some states in the USA seems to be starting to do something about it! Once you give an inch to any group - they'll start going for more. That's the hard reality. It never fails!
-
Ignore them! Why should we cater to demands of anyone to denigrate others?
-
Yep. We're being censored. A whole thread is taken down in another forum. A few years back - society will be up in arms with women being called derogatory names such as, "breeders" or "incubators, the kinds of demeaning identities being put on women today - EXCEPT what they're entitled to be called. Calling women such demeaning and derogatory terms is....................ABUSIVE! Had those terms thrown around in domestic relationships, it tantamounts to psychological abuse! But.....it's okay now. As long as we're protecting the trans.
-
Yeah, I do remember your stance.

Don't get me wrong. I don't know if you remember how much I hated feminism. My life has never been defined by obsessing over equality with men. I don't know if I feel sorry for feminist women freaking out over this - after all............................. HOW MANY UNBORN HAVE THEY CANCELLED? Yeah, sure.....as a woman, I'm among those being "erased." But, do I really care? No. I know what gender I am, and I'm comfortable with it. I know my worth, and I'm thankful to God, and proud of it. On one hand, I can empathize with how it must feel for feminists who defined their lives over equality with men and had put so much into working to get it.......... ................on the other hand, I'm just so awed by the sheer irony of it. Imagine that! Trans are MEN........................ getting into their "slips and panties" now, so to speak. They're being defined in the terms dictated by ...................MEN. Full circle, baby.
-
AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS. What a let-down. Here's the pathetic outcome for women - who have worked so hard and for so long to achieve their own identity in a masculine-dominated world. You're being erased! Your title as WOMAN has become to mean NOTHING. You're now just a.................................... "birthing" person. Thanks to the group (LG) you'd valiantly carried on your back in your march for your so-called, "WOMEN'S RIGHTS!" Here's your "pay-back!"

Foreign students. It's a BUSINESS! In conjunctions with schools. I suppose everyone gets a piece of the pie. It's not only universities doing this. We were hosts of foreign students until 2019 (just the start of covid), living in a small suburb city. The students were attending high school! All the foreign students in our area were mostly high school students. Most of them were trying to learn English too (though some we've had were already fluent). I must say - the Japanese are so exemplary with their studies (Japanese we had were scholars sent here)! They were always studying - hardly gone out of their rooms. But the others from other countries belong to wealthy families. We were fortunate to have had nice kids. But with the two Michaels being held at the time in China - we decided to stop hosting Chinese kids. We eventually decided not to continue being hosts at all in the end.

Freeland too apparently. And, Singh.

The screaming frenzy - I wonder if that's the side-effect of the drug in their transgendering.

I've never heard of this term until now. Heck, I'm still struggling to understand what the other alphabets in LGBTQ + actually mean............yeah, I'm that slow. Now, I'm learning about the KARENS. Interesting to read the comments below.
