Tradition is the worst reason to do anything. "Let's suspend all judgement because we've been doing this for years! It's just something we do! It's our ~heritage~"

Heritage not hate... Hmm... Sounds familiar. But in all honesty, while I knew the Redskins and Indians had abominably offensive logos and/or names, I didn't know the Blackhawks logo was included in the criticism. But I'll take the word of natives and native spokespersons on my the issue because I'm not a Native and I'm not an rear end in a top hat. Tradition can suck it. Besides the 'new' Blackhawk logo floating around lately is bad rear end as hell.

Like most desk jobs, it doesn't keep me so busy I can't gently caress around on the Internet when I'm bored. I also take regular breaks because my performance degrades if I try to concentrate on things for hours at a time.

I find it a little odd the amount of time that article spends on being like "hey this is how conservative people voted on abortion stuff back in the day." Like, I'm not sure how that's supposed to be seen as objective and impartial news reporting, regardless on how you view the validity of the claims that it isn't some backdoor way of trying to get the abortion debate reopened.

quote:“make it an offence to cause injury or death to a pre-born child while committing or attempting to commit an offence against a pregnant woman and to add pregnancy as an aggravating circumstance for the purpose of sentencing.” I hate whoever came up with "pre-born child". Terrible term.

I like how socializing the risks of local capital wasn't enough, we now have to socialize the risks of international investors. What if an EU investor doesn't make as much money as they hoped??? Won't someone think of the foreign investor?

It's kinda funny that CI gets so incensed over Jenny Kwan taking a vacation at Disney Land (using money from a charitable cause he doesn't actually support) but is very enthusiastic about the wholesale legalized corruption represented by ISDS or extending insane American intellectual property laws. I guess that as long as it feeds into your libertard just-world fantasy it's all good.

Are... are you just now working through the realization he isn't a very smart person? Did you not pick that up from the fact that he was the only one who was taken in by Hal's insane, nonsensical appeals to authority? Nobody with half a clue could be excused for reading a Hal post and thinking "Yes, this person knows what they are talking about!" Please just put Ethnically Han Holden Caulfield on ignore and save us the weekly derails.

I had no idea who J.J. McCullough was until this thread started ranting about him him a few years ago. Thanks, assholes. Speaking of the Gardiner, city council has agreed to compromise on a hybrid option for the Eastern end, which will be elevated (pleasing the Tory camp) and less of an eyesore than the original plan. In true Toronto fashion, it is the most expensive option and described in glowing terms by Pam McConnell as "it's the best of the worst". I sense an opportunity for a new marketing slogan there.
