Agreed. And I'm white.

e: marketed coconut water just tastes like stale industrial byproduct whereas the real thing has a subtle taste and is quite thirst quenching

Dollarama is pretty careful to have anything they produce a knockoff of to have expired patents so they can't be sued for that reason. Anything they can't knock off they goto to the company and ask them to make a smaller portion of so they can sell it for 2 bux.

Here's the rule: sweet things with coconut are gross, savoury things are fine. Coconut flesh itself is to be considered sweet for purposes of this rule.

lol ok. Maybe if Minister responsible for Translink Fassbender had actually delivered on any sort of transit expansion whatsoever while the Federal Liberals were dangling bags of cash to do so he would have been reelected and the Liberals wouldn't have gotten roasted in Metro Vancouver.

I bet Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas probably thinks they weren't right wing enough. What a bunch of clueless morons.

When Fassbender was elected in 2013, everyone went and said, "he's going to fix TransLink due to his time on the Mayor's Council" and then we ended up with the stupid referendum failing because the Liberals opted for its failure.

quote:


“I talked to the caucus the day before [her July 28 resignation], I asked them all, did they want me to stay, did they want me to go?” Clark said July 31 in Vancouver. “Every single person in the room asked me to stay.”

That is not the way it went down, according to two independent sources intimately familiar with the caucus retreat at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. Clark chose to quit instead of being dumped.


IN PENTICTON, PROF. PLECAS PRESSED PREVIOUS PREMIER.

Clark had repeatedly vowed to stick around as both the MLA for Kelowna West and the opposition leader — “as long as my caucus wants me to” — after losing the June 29 confidence vote that led to the NDP’s John Horgan becoming premier. The June 22 “clone speech,” which copped parts of the NDP and Green platforms that her party campaigned against, backfired and threw the party into an identity crisis. She was a lame duck.

The sources told theBreaker that, during the retreat, Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas demanded a review of Clark’s leadership. He even threatened to quit caucus and sit as an independent when the Legislature reopens this fall.

Plecas was not alone in the release of pent-up anger directed at Clark. Of the prevailing mood at the retreat, one of the sources said bluntly: “It was really ugly.”

Yeah, the I Stand For ______ isn't BLMs fault, it's the LGBTQs community for being overly inclusive to their own detriment. Should've drawn the line after LG in my opinion, good walls make good neighbours. eg

So we're back to BLM co-opted pride, because you can be PoC or LGBTQ, but not both.

Also, the group protesting disproportionate use of force against PoC is fringe.

Alternate theory: they were having a hard time settling on which random string of letters and symbols following LGB would offend the fewest people, and avoiding it altogether evidently worked swimmingly.

For someone who claims to benignly not give a gently caress your takes are still both incredibly stupid and surprisingly concerned.

This would probably suffice. Although that supposes they have any intention of actually building a content distribution app.

e: If they ever find they have to show some work they'll probably just license some white-label streaming app and some overseas video hosting service that doesn't give a gently caress about content.
