  1. Will echo the prohibitive requirements of time and $$$ for parents. Turns hockey into a semi-elitist sport. Also, with 10X the population to draw from, it was only a matter of time before Bettman's plan for world domination started producing large #s of American prospects. Is Canad trending down? Maybe. I don't think it's realistic to hope for sustained world dominance that we enjoyed for 100 years.
  2. Ya we tend to be a few years behind Australia in a lot of pragmatic ways. I find AUS to be more no non-sense, as in do what is best for the country and if some peoples feelers get hurt along the way, that's a tough tittie. I believe they already have far more stringent rules/regs and taxation laws when it comes to Foreign Ownership as well. Canada is one of the most desirable countries, without doubt. For many good reasons but also because our system is easy to manipulate and fraud.
  3. Can you expand a bit and drop some knowledge? I am pretty ignorant when it comes to the plight of Jewish people. Banned in 100 countries? That sounds crazy. I get the basic premise of what happened after WWII but why have they suffered so much hatred all along?
  4. Close call boys. Keep yer heads up! https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/it-snuck-up-on-us-scientists-stunned-by-city-killer-asteroid-that-just-missed-earth/ar-AAEV6Wf?li=AAggFp5&ocid=mailsignout
  5. I said before the cooling measures were implemented that tanking the market would only mean that Canada is on sale to foreigners at an even greater discount. Looks like that might come true. https://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story-262237-6-.htm#262237
  6. Ya well so do I and I have all my life. My advice: Suck it up. Edit: That's a really sad story but I honestly don't give a rat's ass about 1 off events. Stop acting like they being treated like Jews in Germany circa 1940. It's ridiculous.
  7. What in the hell kind of danger are they in?! Everyone in Canada is covered with the same rights and freedoms. The idea of "The system interceding" and creating different levels of protections for different groups is a very slippery slope and highly undemocratic. If there is hatred being propagated or acted upon, the authorities will step in. If people are simply projecting hatred onto others because of differing points of view, that should be considered a hate crime as well.
  8. Ya, most of their success came before expansion (gun powder and the internal combustion engine).
  9. "yeah could be... I would just like him to explain why we don't see a Nazi float right after the elves. " ??I'm not applying any rules to anything. You're getting another confusey face if I have any left I'm sorry, Sant Claus...?? What? Is he banning Institutions of public knowledge and free thought from his parade now? Or has been waiving his merry bits in people's faces? I'm confused... Speaking of which. I thought they banned "Santa Claus" from being used in the name of the parade, no? Another victim of extreme Liberalism if you ask me. R.I.P. St Nick. So The Elves are to Pride parade as Nazi's are to Vancouver Public Library. Ya, there's no disconnect there, at all. LMAO keep going
  10. Anyways, some more ironing is in how much exposure is now being drawn to the speaker at the Library, whom I would have never heard from or about were it not for the exclusivity of the inclusivity parade. Interesting that there are more than one side to the whole thing, who knew?
  11. ...and Proud of it! I understand the why's, kinda. I just like to point out the hypocrisy to keep everyone grounded and honest.
  12. UBC and the VPL hosts free, independent thought and purposeful discussion. You know, the foundations of a democratic society? For one minority group to try and press their will on the rest of the population while smothering everyone else's right to free speech, thought and association in a public place is unacceptable. If it was going the other way there would be a huge uproar and possible hate crime charges so WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD??
  13. So now they own the streets as well? Case in point. Keep playing aloof with me. It's cute.
  14. "Nasty Treatment" = Denial of existence" Okee dokee I'm not going to repeat myself for you, I can see through your tactics. Yes, they are. They are becoming the right. Intolerant of others. Well then what is it, in your mind?
  15. I go to Off Topic and pick fights with every willing combatant. Helps pass the summer and keep me in fighting shape for when the real season starts Edit: Jason Woolley on Ken Dryden. Hopefully my life is in Dyden's hands, not Wooleys
  16. In what way? The lgbtq etc's are trying to merely picking a battle with the Institutions of UBC, the Vancouver Public Library and The Vancouver Police? Because why? So if that is the case, I would suggest to you that they are trying to influence these public institutions into stifling opposing views (or maybe simply alternative views) and therefore freedom of speech. Pretty obvious.
  17. I think you are out of touch on this. Nobody cares until is stuffed in your face every day for years on end and it really is a non issue. Everyone has the same rights. You are not going to stamp out bigotry by trying to drive it underground. The majority of the population has stayed silent and basically agreed that people should be allowed to love one another. What is happening now is that A) People are tired of this "Story" and B ) The groups in question are becoming what they claim to fear the most. Name me one person who doesn't "Believe in Metis"????
  18. Everyone has the same rights now. Well, to be fair, we are all at the centre of our own little universe. Some universes overlap nicely with a lot of others and some universes just seem way way out there on the fringe. Re: The bolded. That's GOLD. Uhm, healthy open discussion is what I am raising my children on. How is it not ok to talk about things and expose your children to knowledge but it is ok (in some peoples universes) to expose their children to blatant public sexuality? Yikes. Ideals vs Realistic expectations. Sometimes it only comes from experience. Re: The Bolded
  19. I don't think so. They are applying social pressure on these public institutions to stifle people with differing view points. A lot like some posters here at CDC, actually. They have drawn their line in the sand and said "Not only do you need to think like us, you may only associate with people who think like us or you are not welcome." Centre hasn't strayed very far from centre at all. All you need to do is exit the echo chamber and get a bearing once in awhile. Assign the co-ordinates, as it were. The issue is that you have a few fringy groups who are actual just a Very Vocal Minority and drawing an inequitable amount of attention to certain "Issues". This creates the illusion that "Centre" is a lot more to the left than it actually is. As soon as anyone on the "right" of the so-called "centre" has anything to say, they get shouted down which further propagates the Leftist Centre myth.
