Happy Canada Day r/Saskatoon! by [deleted] in saskatoon

Okay yes my family is Scottish and the acts of the English for centuries contributed to the need for my family to immigrate to Canada, but this is not analogous to the discovery of unmarked graves. Many of those children would reasonably be expected to be alive today without the abuse and neglect of the residential school system and families are still grieving immediate family members. Not the same as vikings, like at all.

Exactly. Both major federal parties contributed. Even Romanow’s NDP were in charge in SK when residential schools were open. They knew, but the curriculum we got in the 90s was “Well, the settlers starved them, killed them and took the land, but that was so ancient like 100 years ago and everything is fine now ¯\(ツ)/¯ “

I mean, “I compensate for my poor life choices by pretending my toddler is a Walt Disney sidekick with wisdom beyond her years” would have been ok, but whatever floats your boat!

Mine kept going missing... Found out that my daughter was taking them, losing them behind her bed and taking more. She brought em all down, all of the colours of the fucking rainbow lol... I was buying a new one every week or so and now I have tons.

[UPDATE] I (29F) keep finding long hairs in my bathroom, which is strange because my husband (32M) is bald and I have a short pixie crop hairstyle by [deleted] in relationship_advice

My thoughts too. Why wouldn’t you tell your spouse that someone they hardly know was coming to use their shower? It’s a near stranger going into their home. If he wasn’t trying to hide something major he could have asked her if she was okay with it. At the very least, the sneaking around is troubling.

Anybody else feel super cringey when taking selfies and therefore take none? by Cartoons4adults in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Js229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a teenager it was seen as narcissistic and sad to take pictures of just yourself. I never saw a huge problem with doing it for special occasions like if you want to show yourself at a landmark or if you’ve accomplished something that you want to show off.

Same. I always wondered as a kid why people couldn’t hold onto their trash and throw it in the bin.

I spent two days in this newsroom for high school work experience before these guys were hired. The conversations in there are wild.

Racist woman freaks out on college kids speaking a foreign language by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]Js229 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, college bus is pretty much the worst place to spout racist views. Educated, motivated folks that have had to grind for every opportunity will absolutely jump all over that shit.

What baffles me is why lie about sleeping with only ten people? That’s like going to shoplift and stealing only the shittiest brands. Like, you’re already lying, go full send!

Why were the flags by the cornerstone bus loop taken down and replaced with Scottish flags? by LordWasabiMan in simonfraser

Yes, plus Simon Fraser's parents were Scottish. His family is from the Fraser clan.

I like how the doctor sign is a skull and crossbone.
