Help them by teaching them how to search for and find help on their own instead of expecting someone else to hold their hand when they don't know something, that's a skill my undergrad students evidently never learned because I still have to walk them through basic things like "how do I insert a footnote in Microsoft Word" that you could easily learn with two seconds on Google.

Especially because things change. When Microsoft decides in its next version of Word to hide the footnote commands within several sub-menus, they're going to have to figure it out again.

Model canadians

quote:

Barbara Reddick of Guysborough, N.S., and her nephew, Tyrone MacInnis, posed for the cameras with a giant cheque in Margaree Forks, N.S., after winning the Chase the Ace fundraiser benefitting two local fire departments.

Reddick then pointed at MacInnis and said: "See you in court."

"It was my ticket," she told a group of people gathered for the ceremony. "I bought the ticket and now he's trying to lie and say I said split. I said split with the 50/50, not with no Chase the Ace."

"I'm taking him to court. I'm getting a lawyer tomorrow. Now you can print that."

In order to play, people bought tickets as they would in a 50-50 draw. If their ticket was drawn, they got a percentage of the sales. If they drew the lucky ace of spades, they would win the jackpot.

By Wednesday night's draw, only two cards were left.

Although both names were on the winning ticket, Reddick denied that the two had an agreement.

Her nephew replied: "Yes, we did."

"He's lying," Reddick said.

"I put his name on the ticket for good luck because he's like a son to me — he was," she said. "He was lucky, but not for half a million dollars."

The contact number on the ticket was for MacInnis, who lives in Glace Bay, N.S.

Reddick said she had no intention of splitting the winnings with her nephew.

One of the things nationalism does when it invents traditions is it pretends they're unchanging things inherited from time immemorial. Even if that time was in living memory.

I think there's some good reporting to be done there. Money and expertise definitely comes north from the US conservatives to influence out politics. US conservatives seem to be in bed with Russian intelligence. Russian intelligence successfully weaponized memes to affect the 2016 US election. Ontario Proud effectively weaponized memes to affect the 2018 Ontario election.

That's all circumstantial but hopefully some reporter is working on this somewhere. I can't be the only one who sees these links and parallels.

They've been reported on multiple times, it's run by a former SunTV contributor. Not a lot on who's bankrolling them, but there's no reason to suspect it's anyone other than PCPO and OPC or arms length backers.

O Canada!
Land of our ancestors
Glorious deeds circle your brow
For your arm knows how to wield the sword
Your arm knows how to carry the cross;
Your history is an epic
Of brilliant deeds
And your valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights,
Will protect our homes and our rights.

By crushing the industries of our provinces, by selling the weapons to enemies to turn against us, we are fighting for our very existence. But if there are those who would deny us tax cuts, refuse us our right to discard the carbon tax, then we will unleash such terrible vengeance that generations yet unborn will cry out in anguish!"

Yeah but it's the Conservatives so it's far more likely that he tanks the stock and then sells Ontario's remaining 50% at a huge discount.

The perfect progressive troll government plan: fish around for investors to sell public assets off to, then pass laws that cap rates and levy taxes so they're unprofitable, then buy them back and reinvest the difference in more public assets to use as bait.

And they say the left has the ideology of free stuff.

Regarding beer in corner shops, what about the money the province got from auctioning liquor licenses to grocery stores? Guess we're just giving that cash back, too.

Fuuuuuuck the national anthem and especially gently caress it before sports events. It’s vestigal war propaganda and the people who get upset about it the most are the same people who already need to work some poo poo out with their therapists. Sing it all you want at military events or even national government sponsored events but otherwise just cut it out and if you need to play some song for unity play “50 Mission Cap” because more Canadians know more than a verse of that anyway.
