Maxime was supposed to stop by my town this afternoon at this small park that has only single baseball diamond and no surrounding business. There would be no traffic for this area to even make a scene.

Saw the RCMP hanging out at other parks on my running route even though there were no protestors anywhere.

Guillotines?!? We don't need no stinking guillotines!

The optics of waiting 15 months to arrest someone at a Covid rally, would have been better if it wasn't an annoying politician in front of 8 people. Kudos for the RCMP for eventually doing their job.

I only know three things of the people of Winkler:

1) They hate that Morden exists.
2) They brag about being a dry city while scurrying over to Morden for liquor.
3) They hate vaccines.


No idea if the first two are true anymore, but the third seems to be spot on.

Just a friendly reminder that andrew scheer only beat maxime bernier by 644.4 pts (whatever that means it was 50.95%| 49.05%) in 2017 conservative leadership race
that was before bernier reinvented himself as an alt right person. his thing in the leadership race was getting rid of dairy tariffs or something. he's an opportunist imo not a committed ideologue. (an opportunist can be just as dangerous though, make no mistake)

are you sure you're not thinking of harper there? or maybe that's just a common origin story for conservatives

Conservatives come in two flavours: haunted dolls cursed with life who enact their rage upon the rest of us, and 20 year olds who look like they are 50 since their hatred causes their cells to decay at a rapid pace.

Occasionally you have the people who were kinda progressive hippies in the 70s, but they haven't changed their views or grown as a person in any capacity since. Those never get leadership roles.

They've got a liquor store now and from the community newspaper it seems like more hatred is towards the Cannabis stores now

Winkler's just jealous that Morden has a better venue for a cyclocross race. Winkler's lump of dirt in the park was much worse, but the built in flyover was awesome.

RIP Southern Cross, at least I won't have to run through that nasty rear end sand pit anymore and now don't ever have to go back to Winkler.

We're talking about one of the roads that follows the river and there's a shitload of rich people houses on the road so in this case it's less bad urban planning making people stupid more too much money making people assholes.

When we start boarding up the rich in their own houses and setting them ablaze that street is going to be the first one we do it on.

yeah the trend for very upper-middle money is to buy garbage houses that are done up nice, live in them for 15 yeas and then sell them for their naturally inflated price before their shoddy construction starts to be apparent.

no point repurposing them, we just need the land back.

The biggest crime of Wellington is them tearing down the beautiful gilded age* era houses (hell, even the ones built in the 90s still have better bones than what they're throwing up now) and replacing them with identical boxy garbage by Lloyd Secter

*I'm apparently thinking roaring 20s, basically anything preceding those enormous bungalow ramblers which I am more indifferent to

One of the worst things the city did was allow private ownership/development of the riverfront

Just an update for Hot Spot Ontario goons: I got my first vaccine last month (after the 9th), and they've just emailed me to reschedule for the 28th of June, rather than early September. I guess because of the States exporting Moderna I was able to get my second way faster. Basically, there's a low chance you'll be waiting until August to rebook.

104 ‘potential graves’ detected at site of former residential school in Manitoba

quote:

The Sioux Valley Dakota Nation in Manitoba is working to find students buried at Brandon Indian Residential School, which was in operation from 1895 to 1972.

Simon Fraser University and University of Windsor researchers, along with the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation, hope to identify an unknown number of children to restore their identities – either through commemoration or repatriation.

“The families and communities whose children were lost while attending these schools have questions that deserve answers,” said Sioux Valley Chief Jennifer Bone in a video statement June 1.

“The children buried at these sites must have their identities restored, and their stories told. They will never be forgotten, every child matters.”

Investigations into the cemeteries and unmarked graves at the school began in 2012. A number of potential graves have so far been identified.

“Two cemeteries, one is located at the Turtle Crossing campground and the other is land owned by the Brandon research centre. We have also identified a possible third burial ground on a portion of the school property that we currently own,” Bone said.

“While employing archeological survey techniques, geophysical technologies, survival recounts and archival documents, our investigation has identified 104 potential graves in all three cemeteries, and that only 78 are accountable through cemetery and burial records.”

There is no set timeline for when their work may be completed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Canada's policy was to "beat the savage" out of Native kids, and if they died, oh well. Must've just been an extra bad kid, nothing of value lost.

ireland just released a 3000-page report on their system of catholic homes for unwed mothers where they also had mass graves and sometimes buried dead children in sewage tanks because nobody cared about burying unbaptized children of unmarried women with any kind of dignity

it turns out that historically the catholic church has really loved creating murderous "schools" or "homes" for pretty much anybody who wasn't a perfect catholic, and what do you know it turns out coincidentally many of them have horrific mass graves right outside
