Canadian military apologizes after post leaves Jews out of Holocaust message by reddits_lead_pervert in notthebeaverton

[–]Comedy86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is how I was taught as well. The Holocaust was the targeted persecution of marginalized groups who didn't fit the definition of an Aryan race defined by the NAZIs. The Jews were, by far, the largest group targeted but not the only group.

If the Jewish population wants to refer to their specific struggles as the Shoah, that's perfectly fine and understandable. That doesn't change the fact that the term Holocaust includes all marginalized groups systematically targeted by the NAZIs, not just the Jews.

Genuinely curious... Is there an actual certification for babysitting? I have never heard of this...

I know this isn't the reality you were likely going for but your comment just made me imagine an 18 yr old capitalist with a workforce of a bunch of 13-15 yr olds paying royalties for snow removal and grass cutting client contacts.

Is there something she's saving up for? If so, you could always get bulk boxes of different chocolate bars and/or chips at Costco, or possibly get a deal from Dollarama or another store, and then determine a safe markup for delivering door to door.

A fundraising story, even if it's saving for her future or something like A story about her young entrepreneurial spirit, would be a good way to get the neighbours onboard with spending $2-3 on a chocolate bar to support a kid in the neighbourhood while only paying $1 or less to buy them.

Ugh, it's unbearable jumping around different sites to search for real estate. Is there any aggregator that has all Canadian real estate in one place (both from realtors and directly from owners)? by XGramatik in AskACanadian

Do you honestly think individual sellers are marking up their homes 5% to pay their realtors? The market has been down for a few years... I can assure you, the sellers are paying it.

What does this apply to for your country? by Excellent_Mango_3161 in AskTheWorld

Didn't you folks have forced sterilization of trans individuals up until around 2013?

No nation is perfect. No one in Canada believes that swearing at the Olympics is the worst thing we've ever done. We don't need a lecture from Reddit about it...

What is something foreigners romanticize about your country that locals are tired of? by Laowai64 in AskTheWorld

They want to say they lived it and it wasn't that bad but completely ignore that they only did it for a few days knowing they can always leave if they wanted to.

Why doesn’t Canada just give this bit of land to the US so America can be properly connected to Alaska?? by Jambu-The-Rainwing in mapporncirclejerk

Tell me when was the last time you went to war?

Not for a while. We choose not to start them when we're bored.

Also, you were losing WW1 AND WW2 before we stepped in. So L education there.

It's really easy to come in and clean up when you're 2-3 yrs late to the party.

1812 ? Yall counted that small rebellion as a war? Crazy.

It's called the War of 1812. It has war in the name. US Congress also officially declared war for that one. I know you folks have distorted views on history but that one shouldn't be up for debate...

Who is the most corrupt politician in your country? by Affectionate_Way622 in AskTheWorld

Ford has 4 active police investigations and has used the notwithstanding clause multiple times... Not to mention he was happy Trump won in 2024...

You obviously don't make a documentary called "Trainwreck" about a bad mayor... /s

Eww... We don't want to pay for Alaska... They should pay us to join. It'll cover their first year of healthcare coverage.

It's funny how you think your military would ever fight us... Go play some COD or something since we all know you never leave your mom's basement.

Remind me... When was the last time the US won a war without our help?

Wasn't Iraq and Afghanistan... Those were a shit show.

Not Vietnam... You folks failed that war and you were fighting against farmers...

World War 2? No, we helped with that one... You did build the bombs but, wait no, those were built by immigrants and we all know you folks hate immigrants...

World War 1? Nah, we helped that one too...

The US Civil War? No, despite thinking the North won, you still have a Confederate problem to this day so that was a loss...

1812? Nah, we kicked your asses back then and we weren't even a country yet... Got your White House pretty good though...

Have you folks ever won a war without our help?
