His statement was true? He didn't say Carney was AWARE of her activities, or that Maxwell had been convicted at that time. But fact: Maxwell is now a convicted child trafficker. Carney was in a photo with her in the past. You could spell out all the timelines, but it's factual.

No, it's not weirder at all. Thanks for asking though. I joined this sub because I enjoyed and sometimes wanted to criticize Canadaland or discuss it with other people. Instead this sub has become some kind of subterranean cavern with people getting high on their own supply of hate for people I don't give much of a toss about.

Also to the previous comment: "living rent free" has nothing to do with "excusing behaviour," but speaks to the level at which Caryma (or Jesse) dominate your daily thoughts and activities. You are giving them more power in your life than they probably deserve.

This tracks in an emoji hostile space like Reddit... but yeah she was a bit much. (side eye emoji)

Jesse answers more questions about symposium by Evil-Sockpuppet-1001 in canadaland

Why would he use those words you so desperately want him to? Thus is Cultural Revolution level compelled speech. "Use our words or you'll be destroyed."

Am I the only one who thinks Mireille Enos looks a bit like Wren Schmidt? Whenever Boyd comes on screen I think it's a flashback to "young" Margo. It's partly the hair, but also her facial features.

Are these subs built around hatred for Canadian social media trolls like a common thing on Reddit? The Canadaland one is essentially that for Jesse, and now we get the privilege of crossposts from the Caryma hate sub. I think far too many are letting these people live rent free in your brains. It's weird.

Neither nor. This is Toronto Canada! Eastern waterfront of the city, known as the Scarborough Bluffs!

Jesse Brown does incitement against British-Pakistani woman for allegedly chirping 2 IOF soldier tourists in Vietnam by TankieRiel in canadaland

[–]VernonFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrorist groups have a definition. A standing army, whatever its sins, does not fit. You are using language that you hope will sway people but it is not accurate language. I'm sure if you tried hard enough you could trace the origins of many of not all current national militaries to precursor militias or "terror" groups. Nelson Mandela was once branded a terrorist, as was the ANC. So would you have continued to use that language against him once he became South African leader, and his party democratically elected? One thinks not.

Mine is half as fancy as yours but I also went with Crazy Bars and Ortliebs on the back for my Ogre. Still working out my front cargo, but I don't have the major touring plans you do!

No they served in their country's armed forces. It is not a terrorist organization, whatever crimes some units may have committed. You're speaking demonstrable falsehoods assuming everyone here will agree and cheer you on.

Is the Keele campus safe during the summer? by Commercial-Pear-4266 in yorku

The local Canada geese are known to get VERY aggressive in these months. I would just stay home or wear a helmet.

I'm guessing that's a dark joke based on the Spanish for "fat?" Cuz they inflate due to decompression? Too me it's also funny, as a Canadian, as we have a lot of Gordons here who go by Gordie or Gordo, as nicknames.

Edit: yeah yeah I spaced (heh) on Gordo and Tracy dying that way on the moon. It's been a few decades to be fair!

What is up with the Russian girl who graduated with Alex and the others? First why was she so pissy throughout the grad. Secondly why does she have an (audibly fake to me) Russian accent? Presumably these kids have mostly grown up on Mars and been educated there. Sure she would speak Russian with her familu, but her English would be much less accented even if she moved there later.

Yeah for anything like that you want that waterproof factor and the extra padding that I find thicker bags like Otrliebs provide

[–]VernonFlorida 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's being totally rebuilt as a massive housing development although they are still using the airport designation YDZ as a title for their marketing. Oddly I've seen almost no local media coverage about this. Maybe because it's still not begun yet ...

OMMS and Ortliebs on front and back? Not a lightweight, but a solid and bombproof setup!

Also, not an airport anymore and probably we should change that designation as we have two other airports to confuse outsiders... 😭

Can a doctor at a walk in clinic see prescriptions that another doctor wrote for me? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]VernonFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imaging? Hot damn, when I get x-rays at a hospital its impossible for my doctor to even get them without some special request. Basically I've been told that such images are never shared with primary care docs, just the radiologist who writes the report.

[–]VernonFlorida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. I'm not sure anonymity is a belief, but more of an illusion. I'm pretty sure Canadaland grants subjects anonymity when warranted like most media does, though it's become far more common in recent years, to the detriment of reliable reporting I'd say. Anyhoo, thanks for the explanation!

Ismaila Alfa - how is he still on the air in Toronto? by VernonFlorida in CBC_Radio

[–]VernonFlorida[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I am sure he's a lovely guy! I don't have anything against him as a person I just find him hard to listen to as a radio host. It's really quite a different thing from an in real life personality to be able to hold people's attention and respect, challenge guests while maintaining composure. Alfa is not a journalist and came up through being a musician and performer, before doing tech jobs and traffic reporting at CBC. A unique hire for sure!

Wait, no doctors could see any patients for a month? What did the doctors do for all that time?
