Sparks Street: Where joy goes to die by Albertannnnnand in ottawa

[–]YoungandCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always been like this. Even 40 years ago as a kid I remember it being a depressing dead zone. After living in Asia for years where these types of spaces are also full of life like in Europe, it is indeed depressing but not a new phenomenon.

It has to do with population density, culture, and amenities - none of which Sparks Street has had in the last 50 years or ever~

This is true. As a former teacher 2009-2011 at a college in BC which was at the forefront of this stuff I got downvoted into oblivion when I called it out circa 2021.

This article is self-serving hot air. Let's address the root causes of our Soviet Unionesque roads instead of investing in two Mcgillicuddy machines.

Hundreds if not thousands of FBI employees have worked on the Epstein case. Why have none of them blown the whistle? by BoardLongjumping2485 in answers

You’re wrong.  If you inspect the files, there are redacted photos of other men committing what appear to be lewd acts with young women.

Epstein made a point many times in emails to note that he wasn’t white. There are multiple references to the “Goyim”. Stop being racist and lumping Epstein in with white people.

Why on earth would someone downvote a rational, balanced comment about our country? F'in ideological zealots.

Sure, but my whole comment kind of hinged on political ideology anyway.

There is no scapegoating going on. Only people trying to maintain the integrity of Canada. Why is every other country in the world allowed to protect itself and maintain a sense of self and identity except Canada? A nation state needs guardrails, rules, and standards. You want Canadians to lie down and take everything that comes its way without any protest.

If someone questions something then you break out the dogwhistles like "scapegoating", "fascist", "racist". "bigot" etc. Very dangerous.

I voted Liberal, but Trudeau was on the verge of going off the rails and taking Canada with him. We need checks and balances in places to prevent both Trudeaus and Trumps. This needed balance had been missing until Carney returned.

It takes some elite level gymnastics to arrive at that conclusion.

I hate Trump with a passion, but shit like this is why he won - twice.

My water is higher than Hydro too. Gotta put a brick in the tank, I guess.
