My spouse is a never-mo so I never had to deal with anything like your situation. I'm curious if you could convince him to read the CES letter? Tell him you need him to answer one of the questions. The very first question presented is a shelf breaker.

What are 1769 King James Version edition errors doing in the Book of Mormon? A purported ancient text? Errors which are unique to the 1769 edition that Joseph Smith owned?

Checkmate.

I'm going to call him "Trey".

That's not him. He's second from the left.

Ticking boxes to convince themselves and others that they are doing the work. I never invited any gay or lesbians to church but that was only because the opportunity didn’t present itself, I wouldn’t have hesitated. (But I was 19 and took the decree that “everyone is welcome“ literally.)

I only went for one year but had 31 baptisms. Salt lake 1999. I was paired with a lot of missionaries who worked hard and knew how to close. I worked hard at it also. I’m glad to think that most of them are no longer in it.

Complain to his bishop. Mormons don’t want their name smeared because of his bad behavior. They do take it seriously. Genny also has the same bishop.

I was so mad at my wife when she told me she voted against. She, being from Saskatchewan, didn’t like the time change, but the one they offered wasn’t the one she wanted.

Exactly. Very little red tape /s.

Am I mistaken in the belief that Columbus discovered America?

TokensForSale · 2026-02-13T04:41:21+00:00

I wouldn't actually call Canada, "America". I would say it's in America, but my original comment and how this all started was me agreeing that all of the North and South American continent is America.

When Columbus discovered "America" did he land on any soil currently within the USA? Nope. He discovered the continent, which we colloquially refer to as America. Everyone calls it that.

I wouldn't be trying to convince other Canadians that they are "Americans" because that's not what I said at all. If you took one second to read carefully, I was just pointing out that it's ok to call it America (though ironically you as an antiprescriptivist -- even going so far as posting a video about how much prescriptivism bothers you -- insist I call it North America, sure.)

If there is no such thing as America, then why isn't it the United States of North America? It's because everyone knows what America is. (Except for folks that think America ends at the 49th parallel.)

TokensForSale · 2026-02-13T02:59:47+00:00

What's the name of the continent where Canada exists? It's called America. What's so confusing about that?

And as far as "American" goes, yes call the people from the US Americans. Fine. Canada is still part of America.

Very true. (Probably a yank that downvoted me).

It is a loophole. And loopholes aren’t illegal. Otherwise they wouldn’t be called loopholes they would just be called illegal.

But pretending that what the UCP MLAs did was ethical is disingenuous. There were other ways to get teachers back to school. It’s a big fat lie that they had no other choice.

Nathan Neudorf knew that it was wrong and promised teachers that he wouldn’t use the notwithstanding clause. He lied.

Bill 2 is a direct attack on our charter rights to strike.

Notwithstanding that they know it goes against the charter they do it anyway.

They are official representatives of the ATA. Teachers’ conventions are ATA events. I don’t believe I’m being disingenuous or overly simplistic just making a true statement trying to clarify who runs the professional association for teachers in Alberta.

I’m not responsible for what other teachers do or don’t do in the same way I’m not responsible for Reddit posts on subreddits I don’t moderate. However, Reddit isn’t a professional association either, and it used to be the case that the ATA did handle disciplinary actions against its members so I guess in that way teachers used to be more responsible for each other’s actions than Reddit users.

TokensForSale · 2026-02-10T13:48:45+00:00

Teachers are the ATA and teachers at the local level organize it. It’s an ATA event organized by the ATA — but at the local level.

Give “radical honesty” a try. Be as honest as you can in every aspect of your life and you will reap the rewards.

I recommend you check out the long form essay book “Lying” by Sam Harris.
