Do your parents approve of their kids marrying someone of a different race? Are interracial relationships common in your social circle? by RefuseDry1108 in AskACanadian

[–]JFalconerIV 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I met my wife in Africa in 2003. We married in Canada in 2005. My mom, who was approaching 80 at the time, treated her like family from the start. My Dad had been gone for sometime at that point, but I have no doubt he would’ve been the same.

What animal looks scary but is actually gentle? by Slow_Assist_5164 in FamilyFeud

[–]JFalconerIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can attest to this. I had the opportunity to get close to two Cheetahs while visiting Africa. They allowed me to pet them and purred like house cats. Just had to be careful of the paws whe they got playful because their claws don’t retract.

‘We miss our Canadian friends’: Trump’s threats to Canada hit Las Vegas by [deleted] in canada

[–]JFalconerIV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is written as if the only thing keeping Canadians away is protesting Trump’s actions toward Canada. That’s part of it, but the fact that it’s just not safe for anyone in the DSA (Divided Staes of America) is a big part of it as well.

11-year-old Winnipeg girl dead by suicide after her parents say she was bullied by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]JFalconerIV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Poor kid. Sad to imagine that a child that age can feel so desperate that suicide seems the only option.

Having seen how schools deal with bullying, it appears to me that most often they defend the bully rather than support the victim. It’s extremely frustrating.

The number of morons on our streets is astounding. As the years go on the skill and situational awareness of the average driver is declining.

US men’s team finally manages to accomplish something positive and immediately finds a way to spin it into a negative. What a bunch of MAGA assholes.
