All leaders would better serve society by speaking plainly.
Some of the worst offenders rely heavily on slang and innuendo. Thinking specifically about Ford, Poilievre, and Trump.
But everyone does it. It's not easy to eliminate!

Agreed on your points.
Noted because many of us inadvertently assume our turns of phrase are universal.
Being married to an immigrant, I see people struggle to comprehend the meaning of many phrases of dominant society.
And I see it work the other way when Indigenous people speak, possibly here.

@stevericketts.bsky.social initiated a block after I refused to back down.
He claimed that his feigned ignorance about defining immoral or unethical laws was not racist, only a simple question. Later he admitted knowledge of the above apartheid and genocide acts based in law.
I've blocked back.

Only true for dead societies and states.
Canada is a continuing occupier. And Canada is continuing as such since it signed the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Therein lies the difference, Mr. Beggs.

For what it's worth, racists masquerade as confrontational nitpickers all the time.
Which is why I block people like that all the time.
You are likely a confrontational nitpicker. So, I'll block you as soon as you reply with another useless quip or logical fallacy.
And have a great day! 🌈🌞🐰

Entire throne speech uses phrase 'climate change' twice & 'clean energy' once. No details, no plans, no policies or vision of laws or what will be done or changed or directed. 7 words total.
1 paragraph devoted to boilerplate promising to protect more landmass via parks etc. 75 words.

As an aside, some Indigenous people call for prayers when the physical-world possibilities have been exhausted.
I've even seen it used as a subtle way of throwing shade at the people causing the problem.
I don't know if that is Kinew's position, tho. 🤷

Key word: economy.
So, yes. Fiscal conservatives live for the economy.
But that also means he will support the carbon burning economy, and make this about free market competition.
Which may be fine if the government ended multi-billion dollar gas and oil subsidies. But I'm not holding my breath.

It's so very comforting when Doug Ford uses the same terminology that China's totalitarian government used to enact unfettered capitalist reform. /sarcasm

And fiscally conservative Carney is helping them do it.
Canadians badly need civics education.
Too many incorrectly believe that the Liberals are centrists.

Fiscal conservatives always sell off the future for profits now.

Misogyny is why. The destructive nature of the patriarchy is why.
This man should never have been allowed to continue to practice medicine, let alone operate on vulnerable children.
But the medical system protects its own. It rewards silence and those who don’t “rock the boat”

My Aunt Barb used to use her garden hose to make mud holes in her backyard...
...to keep her young children amused in much the same way as those dogs! 🤣

Unwilling to deny your racism, Steve? So you deflect?
You won't admit a single immoral or unethical government act from that list.
And it's on display for everyone to see. I comprehend you all too well, racist.

The doctrine holds that God authorized European monarchs to take absolute title over the lands of non-Christian "savages".
All monarchs thus empowered were Caucasian.
So, Canadian monarchists celebrate a cornerstone of white supremacy.
And now confirmed: some of them do know they celebrate it.

2. The final sentence reads:
"If the tongue of an anointed king can really speed them to heaven, so much the better."
So, how is this racist?
It's an allusion to the Divine Right of European sovereigns to rule with authority from God.
Which is the justification for the Doctrine of Discovery...

1. In jest, the author accidentally states the quiet part out loud:
"Perhaps [monarchists] are sneaky imperialist (or racist) hypocrites."
And then he unwittingly gives a nod to the racism inherent in Canada's system of monarchy...

A lawyer's perspective:
Is this about defining a prosecutable crime recognized in international law?
If so, only genocide is a crime at law. Holocaust is an outcome.
The crime committed in Gaza is a genocide. So name the crime and keep naming the perpetrators to the International Criminal Court.

Ending the illegal apartheid in Canada would do a lot to address Trump, actually.
It would send the message that Canada is no longer a co-conspirator in apartheid, genocide, and other crimes against humanity.
That's a pretty strong message to send that imperialist.

You don't understand. You really don't.
And you should stop wasting your time and mine arguing about it.

All that happened under presumed authority of the Crown.
And I'm not here for a pissing match about which of our families was more harmed by colonization.
All Indigenous families have been harmed, mine included. Stolen children, murdered men and women. Enough said about that.

Answer: you don't know history.
You pretend at it.
comment in response to

If you knew history, where are the
Papal Donations of 1493,
Royal Proclamation of 1763,
Doctrine of Discovery finding by Chief Justice Marshall in the 1823 case of Johnson v. McIntosh,
British North America Act of 1867, and
the line of Canadian case law starting with St. Catharines Milling in 1888?

You clearly have no legal background to lecture anyone on this subject.
Without the Crown there is no Canada.
comment in response to

Canada's Crown is the is the source of non-partisan sovereign authority upon which PARLIAMENT relies to pass its laws.
Since that authority was always illegal, Canada's sovereignty is null and void ab initio.
Is that legal enough for you? Probably too much so.

Crimes against humanity became legally enforceable against Canada in 2001, after Canada adopted the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the statute went into effect.
Your misdirected ageist attacks will not cloak your own ignorance on this subject.

Being taken over by Trump is only the latest in a long line of excuses to protect the apartheid colonization regime of Canada.
