Can't believe this is how I found out Franklin is Canadian
imagine working on Franklin the Turtle and suddenly getting called into an emergency meeting to discuss the US government’s fan art of your beloved Canadian cartoon turtle carrying out extrajudicial killings in Venezuela

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

In the same vein, homeschooling should be banned with very limited exceptions (extreme bullying, for example).
My wokest opinion is that there shouldn’t be any private high schools or elementary schools.
Education is a matter of the common public good and everyone at the K-12 level should have an equal opportunity with the same resources to attain a common educational baseline.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

will never understand how Canadians became known for saying “eh” when we should be known for our ability to make the phase “okay buddy” mean everything from “of course I will give my life for yours” to “I am the drunkest man alive and I am going to fight you in this parking lot”

After Frozen came out, one of my profs spent half of a class making the case that Elsa was the ideal Übermensch. Can confirm that he was having the time of his life.
i bet it feels amazing to be a middle aged college professor and say stuff like "napoleon wouldn't stay in his lane so the duke of wellington locked in" to a survey course of a hundred bored 18 year olds

Today I learned I and my ADHD family members got ADHD from energy drinks, a thing literally none of us have ever consumed before
It is a big thing. Energy drinks are one of the causes of the rise in ADHD, in my view. High caffeine leads to mood swings, irrational behaviour and lack of sleep. And lack of sleep can cause all kinds of issues, from depression to physical issues.

Obviously, ChatGPT invented the em dash. Nobody ever in the history of the world used an em dash before ChatGPT existed. (Emily Dickinson? Who's that?)
I just want to know where these ppl think ChatGPT got the em dash
People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.
