Being completely real here, the Epstein jokes are so overdone and unfunny to me that it’s starting to feel like it’s taking away from the seriousness of the crime committed.

Chapman’s I beg of you.
Please separate your lactose-free products from your No Sugar Added products. I want to support your company, but what’s the point of having your lactose free ice cream if I’m going to have the Haribo gummy bear experience if I eat it anyway?
Your company is great, let me support youuuuu


SLIPPERY SLOPE!!! If I can’t call people slurs in public, next they’ll be after my ability to say Hop (2011) was the best film ever made!


It should be federally mandated that wages for jobs are fixed to inflation.


You can’t really do anything diplomatic when the other side continually showcases they lack any respect for diplomacy whatsoever.
The moment the man in charge literally called himself an idiot when asking who’d ever sign a deal like CUSMA, it was an admission that they don’t care. We got hit with tariffs for reasons that weren’t based on facts. We got rid of the digital services tax as a concession already. We already had the CRTC roll back a decision to triple financial contributions to Canadian content from online streaming services. Then came the Gordie Howe Bridge dispute where we made concessions for tolls on a bridge we paid for. We were going to concede even more with the removal of alcohol bans.
Yet, it’s just now that Carney and the Liberals realise that this isn’t worth it? Any progressive in this country could have told you this from the get go.


Cool, so what we already knew was going to happen, happened.
Colour me shocked. Glad to know we wasted so much time trying to negotiate with what may as well be a bunch of shit-flinging apes when we could have been putting more focus in more deals with the EU, establishing CANZUK, and literally any other endeavour that doesn’t include the U.S…


Cool, we’re just throwing those struggling with addiction under the bus for a cheap shot in order to… shit on an independent news publication?


I too hate small local news publishers for seemingly no reason


Thanks random internet stranger! I will now proceed to define my entire personality to your whims. Please enlighten me with what true music is!
Lol get a life and be miserable somewhere else.


I don’t have a Google account. I’m avoiding Google in general, but even when I want to make an account for work purposes, it tells me that my phone number has been used too many times for some odd reason.


I mean, that was kinda assumed when the mainline series was discontinued.


Good. As a regular blood donor, all they do is mooch off taxpayer dollars and cost our healthcare system money it can save on free donations from Canadian Blood Services.
People need to be taught the dangers of these private clinics, and how despite paying you, they cost our society more than they’re worth and just lead us more into private healthcare.


>“Controversial take”
>Least controversial take ever
Yep, sounds about right for controversial takes on the internet.
Here’s a controversial take: Shadow the Hedgehog is one of the best games in the Sonic franchise.
Then just call him a pedophile and don’t minimise the effects of the crime by making it lighthearted enough for Joe Schmoe to joke about at a dinner table thinking they’re funny.
Like tell me how repeatedly saying “grab 'er by the pussy” worked out as a joke. It did jack. People seem to be thinking this is some big protest movement when all it is is keyboard warrior stuff that doesn’t get anything done, and I honestly I hate saying that because I ideologically agree with anybody who says that.
At a point it just feels like there’s a reversal of the initial intent where it unintentionally starts normalising jokes about sexual assault.
