This guy just retired from the NHL but they had no problem letting him play 25 games with this eyebrow-raising helmet and also another 8 seasons after that:

.. if you actually don't see it, take a closer look at the interesting font change for only the last couple of letters of his name (Greiss).

I guess people gave him the benefit of the doubt but a few years later the German national team said he was never going to play for them again due to "incompatible values", so.

I'd say the ad is part of a larger pattern of chud dogwhistling. Those darn entitled Natives, not wanting to get murdered, or, when they're murdered, to get justice for it. Justice is just too darn expensive (for them). We also can't afford to let our brave cops get doodoo and peepee on their boots looking for bodies ("health and safety").

I'm a bit behind on the thread and I see the last few pages are Alberta CPP stuff, which will probably drown this out, but I just read this and it made me :mad:

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/canada-post-breaking-law-by-gathering-info-from-envelopes-parcels-watchdog-1.6569855?lid=cykfvcvyf2gb

Canada Post is trying to get a slice of Facebook-style targeted ad revenue. They're justifying it because we like it, apparently:

quote:

The post office stressed to the commissioner's office it must continually innovate and find new ways to diversify its revenue streams as regular mail volumes decline. It also said research indicates that consumers enjoy receiving relevant marketing offers by mail.

And it's also okay because we gave them permission to deliver stuff to us already ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

quote:

Further, Canada Post argued that it has the permission of Canadian households to deliver mail to their addresses, and to request "re-permission to deliver their mail would be absurd."

quote:

The privacy commissioner disagreed, saying in his report that not all Canadians would see the monetization of their personal information in such positive terms.

As a result, the watchdog recommended the post office cease using and disclosing personal information for mail marketing activities without seeking consent from individuals.

Canada Post rejected the commissioner's call

Why is our watchdog "recommending" they stop... why aren't they being told to stop?

It's going to be annoying to see the same poorly typed defence and jacking off of modi. I really don't understand the cult of personality thing.

I also am going to be annoyed at when the people who are already being targeted by Modi and his band are then also targeted by Canadians who can't tell different shades past custard.

I don't think Canada would go to war with a Bric country. Canadians are going to (continue) to be really lovely to brown people though the more this is whipped about the news.

yea you got it, it's the cult of personality of modi rather than the blatant hypocrisy of the g7/5eyes countries coming back to bite them in the rear end

Here's the opt-out link for Canada Post marketing: https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/info/mc/personal/tools/canadacomplete/default.jsf

I also found the opt-out for admail like flyers so I hit that too. I have my recycling bin directly below the postbox so I can just dump it from one to the other, so we may as well just not deliver it at all.

If this works anything like email spam I should expect a huge increase in marketing soon because I confirmed my address :v:

there was a poster in canpol, back when the information about freeland's grandfather came out (years back), who insisted that no one in the thread would have made a different choice, and that he was coerced into owning and running the formerly jewish printing press, and naturally had to print nazi propaganda

i don't remember who it was, but it was certainly something to watch
