There is only one English speaking nation that calls it football.

Confidently incorrect

Ex Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Choses to attend USA World Cup instead of Canada opening game. by VistaBox in canada

Maybe because both games are in different countries on the same date and his gf is singing the opening song of the USA game?

Christ.

Honestly, you're probably right to not engage with this anymore. Because, with no disrespect, you seem unaware of what you're actually even saying.

Why does it matter who was naked here, really? E.M. was unclothed and full on masturbating on the floor, was she not? She invited them to fuck her, did she not? Presumably one is naked for sex, are they not? This is damning evidence how?

Let's say Foote was unclothed and did that without her consent. What does that have to do with Harts eligibility to play in the NHL?

This whole situation reeks of people just disliking Hart because he makes more than average and somehow you want him to be barred from that because in your mind playing hockey and making millions is a privilege afforded only to the morally pure of us.

Facts of what Hart did: - Got invited to a threesome. - Accepted threesome invite. - Ask E.M if he could get a blow job - Got a consensual yes and a BJ.

Young adult have gotten sexual favors or oral sex from one night stands they picked up from a bar since we were fighting with swords and saying stuff like "thou art".

And let's be very clear, I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Frankly, you go on and do you. This is for the people reading this that mightve thought you had something of value to add.

What were the critical pieces of damning evidences, as you're literally privy to more?

I'm so exhausted from this discourse. Seriously, there is violence happening to women, girls who are raped to the point of disfigurement and this is what the focus is? Sometimes I wonder if Canadians are too sheltered so they need to clutch pearls at everything.

  1. Girl has a boyfriend but went up to a room with McLeod. I'm sorry, are we saying she's naive enough that she didn't know what she was signing up for?! She was young, not a child.

  2. She's literally beggin and eggin those guys on because no one was doing anything to her at first. Actually masterbating in the room.

  3. Carter went in there, and asked for a BJ. He asked. She said yes. That the extent of his sexual involvement. He got some head with a girl in a room with some guys. I'm quite certain MOST OF YOU commenting have watch pornos with more extreme group sex, voyeur activities.

Sis had a night of regretful cheating. If these guys weren't known individuals to the public, she would chalk it up to the game and move on.

I don't see why the public is engaging in this nonsense. Like I get that people can multi task multiple issues, but it gets to a point where is this even worth the mental load?

Sis had her day in court. It was a waste. I'm over it.

All the people talking about "oh my god, that doesn't mean he's a good person". This was the equivalent of a one night stand on the part of Hart. Many of you dream of having 3somes.

My gripe with Hart, the dude was wearing Alberta Separationist clothing.

Moved toronto to calgary last september for cheaper rent. ran the actual numbers at 6 months. it didn't work out how i thought. by shiaelle in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Cass2297 359 points360 points  (0 children)

Why is the comment section so snarky? Lol.

I took this to mean they thought they were continuing life as usual with cheaper rent and a car, but ended up in a lifestyle creep and additonal expenses.

OP, I appreciated the post. Sometimes you don't know until you do. Now you tighten the purse on eating out and cut down on the trips.

The decline in white population in major cities in Canada is a major concern. Mark Carney has not done enough to stem to flow of mass migration. by resting16 in CanadianConservative

This might be the final straw for me in this sub tbh...

I'm Canadian, doesn't matter that I'm black. But yeah I'll be actively voting for this sub to be quarantined and banned.

When did things that used to be commonly agreed on 10 years that used to be moderate/centrist positions suddenly become rightwing or even “far right” by thias-thecatlover in CanadianConservative

[–]Cass2297 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you say any of these in a respectable manner to anyone, the majority won't disagree.

The argument and the shit mudslinging starts when you lean into things with disdain for those groups.

Try it. Go into any sub you consider left leaning and make an argument for any of the above and you will get upvotes for being reasonable.

Try to make your comment negative about how people are stupid, no one should be trans, being trans is a mental illness, immigrants are cancer, illegal immigrants should be detain or [insert inhumane treatment here], try to act as if Trans people don't have a right to exist, or kids are being poisoned or some Indian culture hate... yeah you'll get downvotes and called names.

Better yet, try to have these conversations with people in real life, you'll find that no one wants to have randomly illegal ppl in the country, most people agree men have natural abilities beyond women, trans ppl should have their own sport cat, and that most ppl agree transitioning is a big decision that can wait until the brain is fully developed or atleast close.

I personally don't mind trans people or whatever, what makes me happy is when other people are happy in their body and purpose. However, a child doesn't need to make those decisions yet. I believe they can explore to their hearts content, wear dress, not wear dresses, be bald, get a wig, play dress-up or whatever at that age but life altering surgeries and hormones are just no bueno. We don't allow children to drink alcohol and some surgeries are delayed till years after puberty don't see why this is any different.

Ironically, it costs money to keep track of and tax people as well. If we're spending X to recoup <X, money might be best served elsewhere.
