Boomers think they actually earned their wealth and success rather than inheriting it from the Greatest Generation.

@J_in_AK “We can be envious of their 40+ years of accumulated wealth, or we can build our own.” I think that’s one on the main problems. They see the end result and have no clue as the journey to get there.

Billionaires don’t steal my money, dipshit.
Politicians and bureaucrats do.
If a billionaire gets my money, it’s because I paid for a product that he or she has made.

@ChrisMartzWX @Eventzon Meanwhile you're happy paying billionaires while they work to systematically take as much from you as they can?

I bet this goes hard as fuck if you’re retarded.

"in communism, you don't own your house!" Babes, that's capitalism, what do you think mortgages are?

Don’t know what child needs to hear this but if you can’t buy a $220k starter home and a $5-7k used car and maintain both that’s your problem not mine.
Acquire some skills and a spine instead of crying on social fucking media.

@CityNewsMTL @Gareth_MJ The government isn't there because this is a bullshit opinion group that has no authority whatsoever.

#WATCH: “The federal government is not here. Why?” asked Leo Nicholas, a residential school survivor, about an international tribunal in Montreal on alleged crimes against Indigenous children in Canada’s residential schools. @Gareth_MJ reports.

@globalnews That's ok it's a start. Let's get other Canadian businesses to follow suit. We don't need people coming 10,000km to Canada to temporarily pour coffees at Tim Hortons. Also it isn't just youth many seniors had part time jobs at Tim Hortons previously as well.

"It's not going to bring youth unemployment down to the adult unemployment levels," says an economics expert.

@Khelsilem Show us the Squamish word written on something before European contact.
English
I need to talk about Sen̓áḵw.
This word has been in the news for years, and I still hear it mispronounced constantly—by journalists, politicians, and well-meaning people who just haven't been shown how.
It's a word from the Squamish Language.
Let me walk you through it. 🧵

@APTNNews "Commonly held belief" meaning bullshit stories children tell themselves at boarding schools worldwide. Unverified unquestioned stories recorded by TRC with no questions asked & no verification necessary. The truth will come out & it's not what they claimed in Kamloops.
English
UBCIC say the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation took a "courageous step" to share what the union calls "commonly held truth among First Nations" that residential schools were responsible for the deaths of Indigenous children.

@JennyKwanBC Gaza has graduated hundreds of medical doctors from it's open universities during the "genocide". These students can attend their home universities.
English
Brilliant Gazan students have worked hard, won scholarships, and accepted into Canadian universities—yet they trapped by endless visa delays.
Canada promised emergency path, but bureaucratic roadblocks are failing these vulnerable students. #cdnpoli

My dad is an amazing man. He came here as an immigrant and just worked his ass off. At one point he owned 5 real estate properties in California.
And he still dug aluminum cans out of our garbage can to save 5 cents.
And these whiny bitches can’t even make a sandwich.

You have an Israeli flag in your profile before the Canadian one and have the audacity to call First Nations flags foreign?
Masha Kleiner@mashakleiner
Last time I checked, Vancouver was a city in British Columbia, Canada. What are foreign flags doing in Vancouver city council meeting, and where are the B.C. and the Canadian flags?!

@acajacques @jonrandellsmith He doesn't know any. Even the Indigenous don't give a shit. The Tahltan FN in Northern BC had 2 fluent speakers for decades & not one person bothered to learn their own language before they died & the language went extinct.
English
@jonrandellsmith How many Indigenous languages do you know?
Also, do you know French?
English
The better question is why doesn't Canada prioritize any of the dozens and dozens of Indigenous languages and not just the two colonial ones
Omar El Fares 🇵🇸 عُمَر الفارس@3lfares
Why do English-speaking Canadians refuse to learn French? Genuinely weird
English
@jonrandellsmith Because only a few thousand people would even bother to learn any of them. French & English are the languages of Canada dipshit if you don't like either move yourself to another country to interpret to be "fair".
English
@CTVVancouver A society who has constantly told us to just rely on oral stories with no verifiable evidence suddenly can't proceed with excavation because they haven't received every printed document the church & government have. Where are the relatives of these missing & murdered children? 🤔

@bethke Paul is right: people like you who get perverse joy out of watching younger generations go through hardships, rather than wanting future generations to have better lives than you did, are broken inside.
English
I don't think Gen X and Boomers realize just how infuriating it is to be constantly given condescending "advice" like this every time someone brings up how much harder it is to buy a house now compared to when they were our age.
And how many of them had to do this themselves?

@MithrasSoldier Sure you can. 50lb flour - $20 for 45 loaves. That's 50 cents per loaf, or about 2c/slice 5 dozen eggs - $10. That's 16 cents per egg. Let's use 3. Mayo, mustard, etc - $3/jar, enough for a month. 50 cents for a deluxe egg salad sando better than restaurant quality
English
@a_man_in_red Lol the only generation that ever faced hard times. The world's tiniest violin plays just for the poor little Zoomers. 🤣🤣🍟
English
@bethke You Gen Xers are every bit as bad as the Boomers assuming Millennials go into debt over avocado toast.
