@dyckron No. Just no. Not gonna happen. No nuances.

Indigenous Peoples grapple with claims downplaying the history of residential schools

As Indigenous Peoples marked the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation this week, they also had to confront a persistent problem: public figures claiming the history of residential schools has been exaggerated or falsified.

@mike @alipunk “Do the math”! My favourite line

@mike I’m not one for conspiracy theories or urban legends but there’s no doubt in my mind that the monitoring, tracking n all that shit is increasing, and from many different vectors. I may become a Luddite.

@mike I read your post, and nodded. Then I dip over to YouTube during the period break, ‘cause my focus is intermittent at best. And what’s the 2nd short up?

Yes, somebody out there is watching my every move…

@mike I am not a fan of this aspect of the #nhl game but last year’s first playoff round is still a stinky memory. There will always be lesser talented 4th place teams who make the playoffs who depend on pounding the talented players into the ice and as long as this is the case we need this […]

@Martin Comparing Canada Post to civil services like health, education and such is a bit of a false equivalency. Most government services simply cannot exist as a profit centre. The terms ‘social service’ and ‘for profit’ simply do not intersect.

Canada Post is a hybrid. It provides a critical […]

@mayintoronto Indeed! My comment was for the naysayers who will bemoan the $s as ‘wasted taxpayer money’. This is important. And BIG. And yes, has the potential to bring massive change to many lives!

@mayintoronto And please remember, this is an investment and not purely an expense.

@mike The second goal is already a contender for goal of the year.

OK Anderson, cool your #Jets already… 🙄

@mike Turns out that was a bug and not a feature. Play by play announcing on….

Grant :TheCDN4: 🇨🇦 @graand.thecanadian.social.ap.brid.gy · 25d

@mike Kinda different watching with no play by play. It makes me realize how much I’m not actually ‘eyes on screen’ while watching live hockey.

Two of the bestest beasties I have ever shared a home with. Both gone but never forgotten.

@mike Sounds like you hit all the #Winnipeg and area hotspots!

I’m about a mile from the locks and have never wet a line. I guess we can safely say I’m just not a fisherdude!

@mike I used to go there for business lunches in the 80s when I worked at MTS on Empress. The decor hadn’t changed since the place was built in the late 50s, and I understand the new owner has kept it the same vintage.

Now you’ve got me thinking I should check it out again! I’ll have to remind […]

Oh the irony! I bought a four pack of Apple AirTags a while back, activated one and hid it away in my vehicle. I put the other three away “for later”. And now I cannot find them.

If only there was a way to locate missing electronic devices...

Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.

@mike It is hard to argue the point, unless you are able to simply discount people.
