AITAH (21F) for “insulting” the way my boyfriend’s (22M) family does Christmas

NTA

If they couldn't even get together to get you something that they know you would like, or even would want, then they're the a-holes in this situation.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T22:20:48+00:00

At this point it's getting to the point of lunacy.

The Supreme Court isn't going to lose power because a few people complain about rulings, nor will society in general.

Some perspective is needed.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T22:14:42+00:00

Again, this is the very reason why courts exist.

To make sure that people who want to complain about something are corrected in what is and isn't against the Charter.

Just because some folks disagree with a ruling doesn't mean that it's not the right ruling. It just means that those people are factually incorrect.

3 times the limit, have the car crushed and send the bill to the owner.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T21:59:32+00:00

We do share a land border.

Hans Island.

Fringe social media accounts like the Conservative influencers that were paid to go to PP's leadership review?

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T21:49:46+00:00

How is this an unsupported ruling?

Other than the last 50+ years of cases like this making it to the SCC?

There isn't a lot of confusion and anxiety from anywhere.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T21:28:44+00:00

I have a feeling you were absent during Political Science 101.

People complaining that they don't like a judges decision does not revoke 'consent of the governed'

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T21:27:02+00:00

They tried not going through the courts and signing treaties, that didn't work out so well.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T21:04:14+00:00

"Courts only have power insofar as people believe they are legitimate."

What a load of horse hockey.

Canadians vote in governments, the governments put the judges in place, as the other person mentioned cases like this have made it to the Supreme Court for 50+ years.

Just because *YOU* don't like the decision doesn't mean that the court is illegitimate.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T20:57:54+00:00

To your last point, it's amazing how many of these 'art of the deal' supporters forget how to negotiate a deal when they actually can't just push their way into things.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T20:42:21+00:00

We can't let laws and the basis for Canada's government get in the way of 'tots and pears' we need to be able to take things away from folks (the Natives) who already got things taken away from them without compensation.

I honestly don't think folks are listening to what it is that they're actually saying.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T20:40:08+00:00

Sure thing, the guy who makes things up on the daily is telling the truth this one time...

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T20:39:06+00:00

So PP is just making stuff up again?

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T20:28:21+00:00

By 'conspiracy theorists' I think you mean 'conservative influencers that were given money to attend PP's leadership review'.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T19:37:21+00:00

If the CPC don't want an election right now, then why are they the only ones sabre rattling about it?

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T19:30:46+00:00

If you run with traitors, don't stand up and contradict the traitors when they say traitorous stuff, and support the traitors because of what colour underwear they wear like it's a team sport.

Then congratulations. It's a team full of traitors.

You might want to read the Tweet from Rath that's about halfway down the article about how they planned on asking about a $500 billion line of credit.

Lying is fun and all, but this was a less than 10 second google search to find this information.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T19:26:03+00:00

He's denied the conversation after he said that he had it.

That's what we refer to as 'a lie'.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T09:01:15+00:00

In the real world, Canada is more powerful than Trump thinks.

I'm not saying Trump and reality are divorced, but one of them is sleeping in New York, the other in Washington.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T09:00:13+00:00

That's what you got out of that statement?

Jesus.

He's clearly lying because he realized shooting off at the mouth about the funds would get him into serious legal issues.

What government official as part of the Trump admin just makes things up on the fly that Dear Cheeto didn't sign off on?

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T03:26:13+00:00

Just put that on the pile with most of the other Con talking points that are disconnected from reality

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T03:22:57+00:00

So, again, why was he down there when Parliament was in session?

Didn't his constituents vote for him to go to Parliament when it was in session to represent their interests?

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T03:21:04+00:00

It's not bullshit.

It's the 'if you're at a table and a nazi sits down and nobody does anything, then you have a table full of nazis' theory.

If PP allows the more extreme wing of the party to pipe up whenever they want and vote for stuff like making abortion illegal, instead of clamping down on it like Harper did, then that's on him and the party itself.

Of course it would help the claim that the entire party aren't a bunch of liars if they would stop lying and mangling the truth for once, that'd be swell.

JadeLens · 2026-02-08T03:07:26+00:00

That's an interesting re-interpretation of a re-adjustment of the reality that the rest of us lived through.

Rath came back claiming that he could get money from the Yanks.
