I like that GOP guy with the eye patch.

Stay classy Halton teacher.

It's not about laziness. They tried 3 times to get Quebec to sign the Charter and it almost broke up the country each time. It's very divisive. The GG works fine, there's nothing functionally wrong with having the Crown, some people just don't like the royals.

A republic with the exact same system but the GG replaces the Queen. But it's never going to happen, nobody wants to reopen the constitution.

Trump only refused CNN questions. PeePee refuses all questions.

He should be fired for that. This is extremely unprofessional. In fact this might be the most unprofessional thing I've ever seen a Canadian reporter do from a mainstream media news org. He's acting like a baby.

There's a lot of questions on the census that are none of the government's business.

Cool

Groot is just quoting the guy and his stats from the Bill Maher youtube clip he posted.

Most families are. They also live a weird life so I understand why some would come out weird. I don't see how this reflects on her.

Some of it is ideology, some of it is PR and capitalism. A hollywood-type production wants to appeal to many people worldwide, so they stick those faces in their tv/films to appeal to them. It also doesn't want the bad PR of being accused of being racist for not having X many POC (#OscarsSoWhite). Old white people also don't watch streaming. Given that a lot of people, mostly white men, are very annoyed with the woke stuff in tv/film and the companies keep doing it I have to think at this point they feel the wrath of them is less damaging than the gains of appealing to a wider audience.

I read this today. Somewhat disturbing: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/grade-1-teacher-who-said-boys-and-girls-no-different-in-gender-fluidity-lesson-cleared-by-rights-tribunal This is why I prefer teachers stick to facts or teaching theories as theory instead of teaching theory as facts.

You've been successfully conned by Trump. I don't really consider myself "left" and I'm still waiting for the evidence of this crooked election.

Let the board trustees vote on that I guess. They are voted in by the parents. They would likely vote yes, depending on the board. In the Prairies and rural areas maybe not. Trustees for a bunch of Catholic boards have already voted to fly Pride flags.

You can teach it without moralizing it. You can simply say, at an appropriate age: "some people are gay, or trans, and this is what suchandsuch is...". The kids can even discuss/debate it amongst each other if they want, i'm sure their views will vary. The school's job isn't to moralize these things, and teach one view over another, their job is to teach facts about the world. If a parent wants to remove their kid from the classroom during these discussions that's fine.

It's a lot more important to that republic to undermine and isolate Trump and the Trumpsters than to placate them for the sake of "unity". Trump and the Trumpster's fired the first shot on Jan. 6. You don't placate bullies and dictators, you stand up to them. Hopefully there's no civil war, but if there is the entire free world will only support one side and we know which one that is.

God is definitely a lesbian and muff dives on the regular.

Why do people who call themselves anti-racists hire people or not based on their race? That's weird.

Maybe wait until inflation subsides before making food more expensive by reducing crop yields.

Great we agree. So as i said before, if you lessen the incentive for foreign buyers to speculate on our housing merely for profit by ie: introducing a foreign buyer tax, you will lower the prices of homes. This is exactly what some governments in Canada have done. Let's see how it plays out.

If you don't understand a basic market principle like supply and demand then I can't help you. Go on ebay, when more people want a certain product they go for higher prices. I'm glad there's record home building. Canada also has a record high population, so this should be the case. This doesn't mean supply is outpacing demand, especially in key markets. If it were housing prices would be falling for reasons other than rising interest rates.

Well that's demand. If there's people with money out there wanting to buy homes, regardless of the reason, this demand drives up the price, and lowers the supply for regular people who want to live in homes.

? Homes built in Canada should primarily be for Canadians who are going to live in them. If you want to stick up for the rights of rich foreigners while Canadians are going broke or homeless that says a lot. If there is 1 home and 3 bidders the price will generally be lower than if there is 1 home and 5 bidders. Price is determined by supply and demand. Period. End of discussion. Either fix the supply, or fix the demand.

Oh be quiet. You have no idea what you're taking about. Government regulation isn't socialism you fool.

Insults aren't an argument and so I will ignore these tantrums. They say a lot more about you then me. Homes aren't for speculators to buy in order to make profit. Homes are for living in. If you want to allow a ton of investors and foreign investors to park their money in our real estate and drive up the price you're not helping the problem. I never said this is the only cause of the housing price crisis. Also, people have always been bidding on homes. Bidding in itself isn't causing the prices to skyrocket. Price is largely determined by supply and demand. If speculators are jumping in en masse they're driving up the demand and therefore price.
