You sure? Doubtful to me

A problem is that the well-meaning do-gooders make changes in our organizations based on their own agenda of "social justice" and whatnot, and it's not necessary what most people (who are more moderate than leftwing activists) actually want. And the more moderate majority don't put up a fuss in order to not appear racist/ sexist etc.

Those were some interesting polls in the link.

Chicken eggs we eat aren't fertilized and can't become chickens.

I'm a former Green Beret

He needs to show the receipts.

It's totally racist. They should reward it for low family income if they're actually trying to help people and not be racist.

1. Well we have this event, then Bret Weinstein, and Lindsay Shepherd etc. It's a worrisome thing to keep on eye on and should not be tolerated when these things happen. 2. True we don't know the extent of the threat. It would be interesting to get a poll of profs and students. 3. When does this happen, and why is it brainwashing? I criticize radical ideologies like Trumpism, wokeism, radical Islamism, Nazism, communism etc.

Trump went too far and his supporters are trying to put an autocrat who tried his best to steal the last election back in the White House. I don't do anything but call him and his supporters out on it.

1. This story shows how leftwing activists are dominating even the most respected universities and bullying/threatening a professor who dares to publish evidence that doesn't align with their leftwing political agenda. This is an attack on academia and shouldn't be tolerated. It's an important story and a worrying trend that needs to be combated. We aren't going to stop reporting on Muslim terrorism just because some people think it makes Islam look bad. If white nationalists dominated Harvard and bullied/threatened profs who published evidence against their agendas this would also be worrisome. Would you be complaining about that story? No. 2. One measure of success for academia is how open academics are to express different ideas. If there's enforced groupthink it means some facts are going to be suppressed, which is dangerous for society. The most effective way to convince people of an argument is to silence opinions and evidence to the contrary. By definition this is called brainwashing.

The story is evidence that woke can be like a religion, like Trumpism, and if someone is a heretic the fundamentalists start threatening to throw stones. We live in a society where many on the left and right are out of their minds, emotions rule over reason, and the fringe is more mainstream than ever.

Did they check the grey mushy paste that is his brain?

1. Cite 2. ok 3. cite Jail him for hate speech like denying the holocaust.

Oh, no reason.... Literally that's what it means.

Tough on crime only for "online hate". What a joke of a government. Liberals have the political priorities of a 2nd year university student.

Yeah trying to overturn democratic election results and calling your VP a traitor for upholding the constitution and getting your supporters angered about both is very noble. The fools that believe and repeat all his claims show zero critical thinking and are cult followers.

Yes we know Trump is a cult leader.

If they want pharmacare they might want to 1. increase taxes, even if on the 1%, to pay for it instead of just dumping it onto the debt, and 2. fund to fix the actual healthcare system first because it's horribly dysfunctional and people are suffering and some dying because of it. Provinces have their own programs for low income folks who can't afford their drugs. There is no alternative to our health systems,

The opinions you don't bother defending. Feel free to go back and reread our convo.

You're just dodging the point in bad faith. Nice try. Thank you for conceding the point.

Which could mean simply asking users their age like many porn sites already do. The CPC is already quite against digital ID. You're speculating

Where did PP say that? You have a quote?

I don't think they should be in every school, but some schools have problems with drugs, guns, knives, and gangs, both inside the school and from neighbouring schools. Chicago has problems with these things. It's also a problem to a lesser extent in some urban Canadian schools, like in parts of Toronto. Teachers and vice principals have to deal with these things, and it's not exactly in their wheelhouse. If there's criminal activity known to be happening in schools then they shouldn't be immune, and it protects the good kids.
