According to the views of the intelligentsia on reddit who are adamantly opposed to our local action, the renaming of the SJAM back to its original name: The toppling of this statue of Ryerson is tantamount to erasing history and now no one will know who Ryerson is or what he did.

Seriously though, people want to maintain the SJAM name because of 'history' when it's had that name for less than a decade and people aren't going to forget who loving John A. MacDonald is.

Statue Keepers are a VERY weird bunch of people that get VERY upset when you inform them that their rhetoric stands hand in hand with the white supremacist statue keepers downstairs in America

It seems a little bad taste for people to be booing and cheering politicians at a vigil for victims of a hate crime, but I guess politics is unstoppable.

Right-wing politics are an existential threat to humanity. The game being played is to see if the rest of humanity can survive whatever destroys them.

They all said it from the start when it was first popping off "Why do I care? I'll be dead when the consequences of my actions arrive"

It’s not supposed to be a holiday tbf. It’s supposed to be a day off work for national reflection and learning. I’m not betting there will be a lot of that from the people who do get it off.

Yeah I'm sure if you just did something like redirect all tax revenue gained on that day to first nations it'd be a bit more impactful than some stupid day off that 90% of people will use as an excuse to get wickedly drunk

I only said thanks to Trudeau for the future fascist leader because if he waited this out - and called an election post-pandemic - the PPC wouldn't be a loving thing chipping away at the Cons. I get it though - it's not his responsibility to manage other parties but fucks sake what a stupid loving election.

It's still possible for the pandemic to get worse before it gets better, requiring expanded mandates that would generate more PPC voters. So the other side of that cointoss is good job captain blackface for nipping the PPC thing in the bud before it got too serious.

I've read that if you're in bad enough shape to get put on a vent with covid, there's like a 5% chance of coming out of it. So almost all of those covid patients will get put on vents for weeks and sometimes months only to die. With outcomes like that, at this point it makes sense just to not do it.

Yeah I'll admit it - it was me. I thought there was momentum. There isn't. She's a loving landlord and has continually misstepped and moved the NDP further away from a worker's party into some weird pseudo liberal party.

As someone with a friend who's a cop, he's told me some harrowing poo poo. Especially here in Winnipeg. It doesn't excuse the pieces of poo poo out there but tons of domestic abuse, kids screaming as their parents beat the poo poo out of each other, people out of their minds on drugs, and other poo poo will gently caress you up without the proper support.

One of my friends is a cop and we're in a low crime area - the overwhelming amount of cases he deals with is either fent related overdoses and alcohol fueled domestic violence.

The worst things he's seen is the bad parenting cases though (outside of the train suicides of course)

Obviously there's a myriad of contributing factors - the folks in the Canada Debt thread would probably give you a more nuanced answer but you can basically put the following above foreign investment:

- REITS
- Landlords
- Housing Flippers
- Real Estate's lovely unethical compensation structure
- An insane market driven by fomo and number-can't-go-down-syndrome
- municipalities zoning laws basically being only sfh for the last decade
- extremely cheap debt
