Not trying to derail, but the COVID jab aftermath in North America is quite similar.
Most of the mandates lifted (except many of the new employment and US visa ones) and mocking the jab has become more permissive on social media.
But while the North American right is smug about not taking it, they still ultimately lost the institutional battle if not the cultural one.
The NA regulatory agencies are still recommending indefinite COVID boosters to 6 month old infants while the right in Canada and the US has moved on politically.
Poilievre in Canada is too much of a cuck to publicly discuss either mass immigration or COVID harms, instead retreating to the safe ground of endlessly talking about cutting taxes.
Trump and Vance similarly don't touch COVID restitution either, bleating on continuously about mass deportations that they never detail an actual strategy for.
The natives I know didn't get free university admission. The feds gave their individual band a pot of education money and the band divied up the monies as they saw fit.
The problem is that it adds another lawyer of bureaucracy and corruption that in some ways is worse than simple free tuition.
The band I knew had the councilors embezzling money to their grandmothers taking fake paper courses while denying applications by actual youth with enough potential to escape their desolate community.
I haven't seen it confirmed, but I've seen comments that this clip is 7 years old.
Which would make sense in context with the CBC reporter comparing Trudeau's record to his predecessor Stephen Harper. Who hasn't been in office since 2015.
My messages tab on KiA2.win also appears to be borked.
Hizzoner — who is the first sitting New York City mayor to be indicted — was scheduled to make an initial appearance at the Manhattan federal courthouse at noon on charges he took bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign nationals in exchange for favors
Is this some Ebonics shit?
I remember the admin going nuclear in grade school because we'd created fantasy play of Axis vs Allies where one side branded by drawing swastikas on their wooden rulers.
He's not even trying after Rita in the end
The movie takes place over something like 50 years according to the writer with Murray reliving the same day over.
- He learns chainsaw ice sculpting to impress Rita
- He learns to play piano to impress Rita
- He studies French poetry to recite it to her
- He fakes liking children and has a playful snowball fight with them for her admiration
- He methodically learns all her likes and icks like a sociopath to try to recreate the "perfect day" to manipulate her emotions towards him
I do buy the overall self-improvement narrative in Groundhog Day.
But the central plot is the exact opposite of "just be yourself" and "enjoy life". The movie was 50 years of grind for Phil.
Never seen it before.
Nice to see soy die.
Probably Sean Connery's palliative care nurse.
Loved Nightcrawler as well.
Gyllenhaal played a great sociopath.
Carey Mulligan in Drive with Ryan Gosling is a pretty decent example of a submissive character.
I can't remember many specifics about her character other than her beauty and her mousiness.
Perhaps the only counterargument was that she was a little too chummy with Gosling's character when her husband Oscar Isaacs was in jail.
Lol. I thought of that interpretation as well.
I guess Rickman was Prince John as well, not the Sheriff.
She was also a child. At least in the first one.
I agree that Andie* in the film is marriage material.
But there's not much about her that's submissive.
She's Murray's producer boss & rolls her eyes at the beginning in how much of a pain in the ass it is having to manage the "talent" that is Phil (Murray).
She's chaste in the sense that she plays hard to get & makes Murray work for it.
But if anything, it's the narcissistic asshole Murray that has to "submit" to MacDowell in the end by changing his ways to become more of her ideal man to get the girl.
Not related, but the scene at the end where Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham is trying to casually rape Maid Marian in front of the Bishop to consummate the marriage in real time is probably not something we'll see again.
It's a stretch I suppose.
But it could be argued she's nagging him offscreen to leave his superhero adventures & obligations behind for good to be just another beta retired stay-at-home dad.
Angie MacDowell in Groundhog Day is more akin to The Taming of The Shrew than a fair maiden.
The central plot of the film is that the clod Bill Murray has to repeat hundreds of attempts to win her over through repetition and ruse because any small error leads to the day ending in getting slapped and rejected.
Maggie Gyllenhaal is a submissive in a sexual sense to James Spader in 2002's Secretary. But she's also a mentally ill psycho.
She cuts herself. She purposely tries to antagonize her boss to receive BDSM punishment. She's also awful and dismissive to her wholesome beta bf.
Erin from The Office was cute and meek.
Her character though was more portrayed as a babe-in-the-woods simpleton to be mocked than a true submissive woman.
TL;DR - Poilievre and the Canadian Conservative Party refuse to even acknowledge mass immigration of Indians as a problem.
They just blabber on about the government’s role in building housing and do photoops with Sikhs daily.
Reasonably attractive is being charitable.
I don't mean to speak ill of the dead. But she looks better from afar.
What's the status of things today?
Did they clear all the wreckage from the harbor?
Have they started reconstruction?
I didn't read the article.
But the original "mass graves" site in Kamloops was purposely never excavated & exhumed intentionally by the band leadership for the express purpose of keeping the hoax intact by never testing their claims.
The MeToo "mass grave" copycat discoveries on other reserves that followed the original hoax were the ones that were excavated and turned up nothing.
Toronto Sun editorial archive link - Oct 2021
It was common knowledge at the time.
Of course like everything else with the flaming narcissist, nothing ever sticks and his cultists don't care even when he brazenly disrespects their sacred cows.
The author, Jon Kay, is a frustrating centrist.
He's a secular Jew from Montreal living in Toronto. He was formerly the Editor in Chief of Canada’s nominally right-leaning national newspaper, The National Post (founded by Conrad Black).
His current boss at Quilette, Claire Lehmann, was a raging COVIDian who supported putting purebloods in camps in Australia.
Kay himself remains an unapologetic vaxtard himself. He opposed the Canadian truckers, though without full blown derangement syndrome.
Kay is a leading Canadian figure in Canada against DEI nonsense and trans issues (he calls it "genderwang").
He also predictably is pro-Israel in the Palestinian conflict.
People complaining about the use of the label woke also act as a filter of sorts to out content creators who pretend to be neutral.
I unsubbed last week to a couple of old niche streamers I used to watch frequently because I happened upon their Twitters while they were complaining about the overuse of "woke". And celebrating the segregation of purebloods.
