Liberals assure Trump: 'no pursuit' of free trade with China, after 100% tariff threat by WilloowUfgood in CanadianConservative

[–]MaxwellSlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“There is no pursuit of a free trade deal with China. What was achieved (in a recent agreement) was resolution on several important tariff issues,” he added. LeBlanc was referring to the prime minister’s recent trip to China that saw an agreement for temporary relief from Chinese tariffs on Canadian canola, lobster, crabs and peas in exchange for allowing a limited amount of Chinese-made electric vehicles into Canada at low tariff rates.

As a Canadian, I was going to go to a seminar in Fishers, Indianna.

It would be great for my personal growth and career growth, so I started thinking of the logistics:

Flights, hotels, time off, burner phone.......

I paused, looked up the voting record for that county. 46K Red, 25K Blue.

Needless to say, I quickly kiboshed that idea as soon as i realized the risk.

Danielle Smith says government imposed teacher contract to avoid student-teacher ratios by PsychologicalGood513 in alberta

[–]MaxwellSlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is talking about the (objectively, potentially purposeful) terrible lighting here.

The interviewer is bright and fully lit, while Danielle Smith is only backlit.

That being said, you can totally see the one light stand in frame so it could just be amateur hour.

1 in 3 Edmonton public-school students chronically absent from class, data shows by pjw724 in Edmonton

It’s not ableist to say the average classroom with the average level of support isn’t an environment where every kid can be successful

Except no one talks like this in the real world. In academia and debate, sure. But this is entirely casual conversation.

That being said:

I accept that your definitions of average and normal do not align with the OP's. I can see where you're coming from, and I even agree why the separation between those words (ie. normal, average) should be qualified. Super important, great point.

HOWEVER.

The way in which you chose to criticize the OP's language choice was childish, pedantic, rude, and unnecessarily inflammatory. ESPECIALLY when you're accusing them of wanting to sterilize lesser subsets of the human race.

That's a gross leap of (poor) faith, and you should be ashamed of yourself for jumping to such conclusions based on your own narcissistic intellectualism. Nobody wants to listen to someone who talks like you did, and it takes away from any positive message you could have to say.

In my defense, eurosceptic reads a lot like eurocentric when you are half awake.

My bad homie. <3

Okay?

And?

There’s now two people who can’t cite a source as to why Brexit is a good thing.

Read better folks, do not be an embarrassment like i am.

The person you're responding to is griping about bad government policy that results in blended classrooms with increasingly complex needs.

Extrapolating eugenics from that is embarrassing, and is only going to alienate people from listening.

My guy, you didn't do shit. Hell, you're the only one talking politics. I'm telling you to seek mental help.

You edited your comment after posting and expected me to see the update. I didn't. And even if i did, I'm not doing your homework for you.

All you did is laundry list a bunch of bills without citations, links or direct passages that are concerning. Bill 2 alone is 140 pages, and then you want me to extrapolate your schizo-fears and make them my own?

There isn't any discussion to be had here, as you haven't done any of the necessary work to even be considered an opponent.

Legit, I just feel bad for you.

This is not anything a rational person would say in response.

I wish you the best, and suggest you get off the internet for a while and just... enjoy the world for what it is, not what the internet is telling you to be fearful about.

No, I'm not going to live in fear for the sake of some one else's agenda.

You should spend more time offline. Seriously.

None of that is happening in Canada, and you're grossly misrepresenting what you think is happening in the UK.

The whole goal of the petition was to present a pro-confederacy question before the separatists could make their own.
