So there may or may not be a giant asshole protest on the roads around Queens Park (Ontario Legislature) in Toronto on Saturday, which is fine except the roads around Queens Park also lead to Hospital Row nearby which is home to no less than five hospitals.

Instead of using every tool in the drawer to prevent disruption to hospital and ambulance staff, this is apparently the latest idea:

the second you threaten or intimidate a health care worker for doing their job, you should go to jail and stay there for a good long time
fuck, this infuriates me.

That's right - They're disturbing the peace, I'm all outta love, and they still haven't lost any of their freedom (although if they persist, some may).

This is an absolute murder.

This is an absolute murder.

Wouldn't call that murder more like painful useless going on for no reason than to go on. They were never going to get more information as they need to "protect" sources as they say.

It is a shame how many times in the past this could have been done to call out the government but reporters let it go.

I think that’s why he made a point to bring up Iraq and Kabul. Don’t let them pump up Raytheon and Lockheed’s stock anymore.

Or let folks like Donald Rumsfeld nonchalantly state things like this:

Interest rates have been extremely low for an extended period of time. If only there were readily available theories of economics to explain why inflation might be happening?!? I'm not saying this to be pro-Biden. I hope neither here nor the orange man run in 2024 because they both suck and they're old as shit (max age limit now!).

But I'm tired of the "the President controls jobs and the economy!" theory of voting many use. It's fucking stupid and displays an absurdly juvenile understanding of macroeconomic trends that literally FOUR fucking hours of educating yourself would reveal to be a limited approach to how government works. I'm not saying that it should be a non-factor. But grow up.

Our society's inability to make even a cursory attempt at self-education in an era when it's... (checks history)... NEVER been fucking easier in the entire history of mankind. To think that reading and books were only the domain of the rich as recently as a couple hundred years ago. And now it's available to everyone and what are we doing with that time... Re-educating ourselves for new careers? Understanding how to be better voters?

Ignorance must be bliss. Because being intelligent and educated is a god damn nightmare some days.

The hypocrisy kills me. Ted says this, his followers believe this and yet at the same time if the government actually gets involved (even though we know they can't) they cry socialism or communism.

Old white men "misspeaking". Seems to be a trend in US politics.

1981? Is that the year Canada finally gained its independence from Britain? I was once told that. Maybe it was 1982.
