@TorontoStar@BobHepburn Free speech is a natural right, and includes speech you disagree with.
Our rights do not come from the government, as communists belive.
Jordan Peterson is dead wrong about free speech in Canada.
How did Peterson get the idea he has a “God-given right” to make any harmful, hateful, incorrect or dishonest statements without fear of consequences?

@InvestorRod@TorontoStar@BobHepburn He consensually joined the psychologist associations! They get to make that call lol. It is in their stipulations that you wont say crazed unhinged shit, and if you don’t like it you don’t have to sign on!
@TorontoStar@BobHepburn What gives you the idea that you can define what Peterson can o cannot say? Who appointed you judge to decide that anything he says that doesn't align with what you think is hatful speech?
@BigBEEwithItch@colossusPhD@s_guilbeault You know the only guy who resigned because of the “Chinese interference” like was a conservative lol. And then suddenly that line went away
It’s time the Conservative Party wake up and start taking this issue seriously.
Climate change impacts are hitting Canadians harder than ever. A year on the job, Pierre Poilievre still has no plan.
Globe & Mail is right: “Canadians need to be wary”.

@jonkay I mean. This doesn’t mean that residential schools are suddenly okay lol. Just cause they (as of yet) haven’t been proved to have buried hundreds of kids. They were still based on kidnappings and rampant with physical and sexual abuse.

There's a whole sub-category of Canadian news that can only be published outside Canada. When it comes to these topics, it sometimes feels like living in Belarus or Cuba... where there are these things that everybody knows to be true, but no one is allowed to say out loud.
@Bar37912933Alex@SwipeWright@AriDrennen I mean.. yeah? You are right, even in your sarcasm. It would be incorrect to say that humans ONLY AND EVER have two legs. Commonly? Sure. But exclusively and rigidly? Not really. unless ur okay saying that someone with three legs isn’t human
Your semi-regular reminder that nature is messy and beautiful and defies reductive characterizations: a woman with XY chromosomes gave birth to healthy twins this weekend
@SwipeWright@AriDrennen But if your hardcore, inflexible definition of sex has exceptions and occasional times you have to change it… maybe it’s not actually so rigid and viewing it as such is kinda silly
@AriDrennen Just because a vanishingly small minority of people with certain developmental conditions may be difficult to classify as clearly male or female doesn't mean we are all difficult to classify. Trans-identifying people are not intersex; their sex is not ambiguous.
@T83626@AriDrennen Aside from the fact that you are choosing to listen to a brainless chatbot over actual evidence and humans. Famously chat gpt is known for never lying… oh wait washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
This is a ridiculous warning and nothing but a blatant attempt by the Trudeau Liberals to campaign in Canada using the U.S. and the spectre of Donald Trump to scare people.
Freeland claiming this was just the bureaucrats also doesn’t pass the smell test.

@TorontoStar For how passionate people seem on this debate, I sure haven’t seen anyone answer why? Other than “uhh parents have a right duh”. I guess kids dont have a right to privacy or anything either, just the parents to pry incessantly
A strong majority of Canadians believe parents should be informed if their child wants to change their gender identity or pronouns, while views on parental consent are more divided, according to an Angus Reid poll released. trib.al/jczvY6N
@CTVNews So true, remove all the doors from your kids room and surveil them 24/7, force yourself into every aspect of their lives because you know they will never trust you enough to tell you willingly. That’s how you get ur kids to like you, of course
@digysa22@nypost Frankenstein was the doctor and made of dead people. Also ironic considering the whole point of that story was something people felt irrationally angry towards despite being just as human as always
@TiggerTwo4@PinkNews So true, too many scientists will just dismiss IMPORTANT ideas like flat earth and world ice theory because they “lack evidence” and “aren’t scientific”. We have to listen to ALL claims
A 30% property tax hike, a big car registration tax, a tax on school and church parking lots.
Some of the ideas presented at Toronto city hall during budget deliberations.

@FloralIdunno@enfysciel@MaxiMumMother@TorontoStar Yeah, fuck the environment and corrupt politicians selling protected land to developers to line their pockets. When are we gonna talk about REAL issues
@councilofwells@NavigatorSurvey But like… how is it actually different? “Oh yeah, climate change is real but also all the news on it is fake and we need to keep burning oil.“
As Vivek Ramaswamy called climate change a “hoax,” our independent dial participants’ attitudes dropped across the board, particularly among women. #GOPDebate
