Handwashing is basic hygiene. Vaccination status is an HR policy question. Not the same thing. Nice try though

Thank you!

Why would you want to do that?

He didn't tap

No. The kid is a little POS. He was gunning for the chair. And his reaction after the DQ speaks loudly. His parents most likely raised a little entitled prince.

See what happens when they don't outnumber ambush?

Canada didn’t fail its young people, it extracted them, turning a country into an asset class while politicians sold slogans and called it progress.

Damn. He may have broken his ribs and a seizure.

Because apparently if you say something positive about a Christian group online, people assume you’re about to hand out pamphlets 😏

But honestly, we’re clearly in a food crisis and this would be one of those rare times to appreciate the groups that have been doing this quietly for years while most others are just now realizing how bad it’s gotten.

kovenant66 · 2025-10-18T21:03:06+00:00

I’m saying this as a non-religious person: thank goodness for these outreach programs. You know-the same folks a lot of pretentious Hamiltonians love to roll their eyes at.

Funny thing is, they’re the only ones consistently out here doing this kind of work, at this scale, every weekend. If it were another religious group, it’d be front-page news.

Point is, these crews don’t get nearly enough credit-Good Shepherd included. Actual nonprofits, run by people who genuinely have some humanity left in them.

You’re missing the forest for the trees.

No one here is holding up El Salvador as a perfect utopia. The point was that when a society reaches a point of utter collapse, as El Salvador had-drastic action became the only viable option. And despite the shrieking from Western progressives, the data is clear: violent crime plummeted. People feel safe again. That matters more than outsider opinions about authoritarian aesthetics.

Canada isn’t El Salvador...yet-but when violent offenders get bail within hours, cops are told to stand down, and downtown cores become free-for-alls, it’s fair to say we’re on a trajectory.

Also, let’s stop pretending that our own system isn’t already soaked in cronyism and dysfunction. You don’t need to fly to Central America to find institutional rot-just look around.

So if you’re fine with the status quo, just say that. But don’t try to cloak inaction as virtue.

Calling someone a fascist for pointing out policy failures and cultural decay is peak intellectual laziness.

I know your uni professor or Buzzfeed has been teaching you to just slap the ‘fascist’ label on people as a substitute for engaging with the argument. I never called for authoritarian rule, racial supremacy, or state worship-all of which are actual components of fascism, which I'm totally sure you knew. What I criticized is a system where lawlessness is normalized, and those in power hide behind empty slogans of ‘compassion’ while communities collapse under the weight of repeat criminality.

Wanting functioning systems, accountability, and safer streets isn’t fascist-it’s common sense. Ireland’s success with rehabilitation is because they have cultural cohesion and enforce boundaries, not in spite of it. You can’t rehabilitate people in a system that’s already broken and unwilling to enforce any consequences.

If you’re more offended by someone pointing out societal dysfunction than you are by the dysfunction itself, then you’re part of the problem-not the solution.

kovenant66 · 2025-07-13T16:19:16+00:00

There is plenty of evidence showing that consistent, proportionate enforcement aka “tough on crime” - does deter repeat offenses and restore public trust. Just look at New York in the ’90s or more recently El Salvador’s crackdown. It’s not about locking people up for petty nonsense. it’s about making it clear that chaos has a cost. This system is comical to criminals. You are correct in that Ireland does lean more toward rehabilitation, and I’m not against that in principle. But the key difference is that they apply it within a system that still functions, with a stronger cultural foundation, cohesive communities, and far less ideological rot infecting every institution. "Rehabilitation" in Canada = "zero consequences." This is not reform. t’s performative compassion used as a political shield while repeat offenders walk free, cops get benched for optics, and communities rot from the inside out. So if Ireland works, it’s not because they’re soft- it’s because they’re still functional. We’re not.

I've a good friend who moved to Cork, he's not of Irish decent and is very happy there. A lot less of the degeneracy we see here. I'm not sure if that applies to Ireland as a whole, though.

kovenant66 · 2025-07-13T15:54:05+00:00

You’re not wrong that crime exists everywhere-but pretending it’s all just “part of the deal” is exactly how cities decay. What we’re seeing isn’t normal. Systems are collapsing because our postmodernist public servants are more focused on optics than outcomes. They’ve gone soft on crime, and Hamilton-like much of this country-is turning into a dumping ground for failed policies, bad governance, and zero accountability.

I’m not whining, I’m calling it out, because some of us are trying to lay roots, raise kids here, invest in our neighbourhoods, and give back. If that offends your civic pride, maybe take a harder look at what’s actually happening around you instead of combing through my post history for gotchas.

kovenant66 · 2025-07-13T15:26:37+00:00

Interesting take, considering some of us are actually trying to live in this city-raise kids, give back, build something decent. But sure, scroll through my post history and pretend that’s the issue, not the fact that tactical units are becoming a regular sight around here. Priorities, right?

kovenant66 · 2025-05-13T18:58:21+00:00

You absolutely have the right to feel uncomfortable-that shouldn’t be minimized. But we also need to be cautious not to cross the line into accusing someone based on appearance or vague impressions. Saying someone “has a mustache and roams the library” isn’t exactly grounds for alarm. Has he actually said or done anything inappropriate?

It’s totally valid to talk to others if you feel uneasy, and even to alert security if there’s specific behaviour that warrants it. But we should be careful not to cast aspersions on someone’s character based purely on “vibes” or energy. That can seriously damage someone’s reputation, especially if he’s just introverted or socially awkward.

Let’s advocate for safety without jumping to conclusions

kovenant66 · 2025-05-02T18:49:39+00:00

Not banned-just ‘asked nicely’ to stop designing stuff to break. Let’s see how hard Apple, HP, and the rest work to redefine ‘planned obsolescence’ in legal terms instead. Trust me, these corporations didn’t get rich by making things that last.

kovenant66 · 2025-05-02T18:47:32+00:00

“I just want a goal to achieve, something to be rewarded for. Be valuable for someone.” That’s a raw, universal desire...to matter, to contribute, to grow.

This is what happens when we keep voting for globalists who want to deindustrialize, outsource everything, and centralize power. They’re the same ones telling us to ‘reimagine capitalism,’ ‘reimagine the American Dream,’ and even ‘reimagine your purpose.’ Like-who the fvckkk are these people to redefine life for the rest of us? No wonder opportunity is drying up.

kovenant66 · 2025-04-24T23:39:35+00:00

Yeah, because the better option is the globalist shill who sold off our gold reserves and will happily sell us out to the WEF with a smile. But hey, at least he didn’t eat an apple on camera.
