    Just look at the tweets he wrote yesterday about the former Miss World model who called him out on sexism. Unhinged is the right word, the guy has no self control.

    Except it wasn't sexism. A women who is required under contract to maintain a particular weight, because it's required and then starts whining when people point out that she's not. Then again, considering the interviews that people have been doing with his employees it seems he doesn't care if you have your reproductive organs on the inside or outside. He cares about results aka merit, in turn meritocracy. I know, merit is such a dirty word for you leftists.

  5. In other words, their own policies and the policies that they want via the government are creating their own problems. And much like the BS at the one reserve in northern ontario with their suicide rate, it's caused by their own actions, lack of in-action, and their own choices. Then again, I bet you didn't hear that the city of Woodstock, Ontario has had a massive number of teen-suicides outstripping that reserve by a 3:1 ratio. Then again, it really wasn't reported on the news either, or in parliament...except by the MP and MPP trying to draw attention to it which the media also continued to ignore along with both Liberal governments.

    What's the difference between Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party? The media had it out for the Tea Party since day one. What's the other difference? The tea party actually got many of their candidates elected.

    Holy fuck are you that naive? Antifa? Environmental groups? Anti-abortion protesters? Hell anti-"right-wing" protesters? No-platforming? Violent protests? "Anarchists for *insert socialist/marxist ideology here*"? Safe-space bullshit? Anti-speech zones, violent altercations at "free speech" zones? I can think of a dozen cases in the last 5mo where leftists have violently attacked people for not following the right kind of ideology. Or attempting to get them fired from a job. Hell in 5 minutes on youtube you can take your pick of violent leftists attacking people all in the name of their ideology while screaming it's really those right-wingers that are violent!

    The left has been teaching violent tactics as a part of social disruption since the 1960's.

    CHRC is a government body, not an individual. Its there to insure that your human rights are not trampled upon.

    It doesn't work like that in reality. Take a look at the previous head of the CHRC who went after his political enemies, and was one of the main reasons why S.13 was revoked.

    Considering that there was only one left-leaning organization in that entire group and when it came to light, they were approved forthwith. But those tea party groups were still waiting, some are. And the IRS is still refusing to comply with lawful orders to turn over evidence. On top of that Thiel isn't a racist, he has opinions you don't like. And like many on the left, you use whatever label is convenient to smear people because you think it'll hurt their image. Too bad you've(along with the radical left) been using that shit for so long now that people believe all you've done is cry wolf. Just like the whining about how everything is sexist, or against women or some other inane bullshit.

  13. That likely wasn't soot from exhaust, it was brake dust. Automotive exhaust unless it's diesel has a very low soot footprint, you're talking 20 PPM or less in counts even back in the 90's. I was an apprentice in the 90's when the switch over from non-metallic aka full asbestos to semi-metallic happened. And you'd find that shit everywhere, and I do mean everywhere. The vic20 we used for alignments was full of it, it would get into tool cabinets, into air lines if they'd been hug for a while, it would even clog your compressor air-intake. Exhaust was almost always vented outside(or with the doors opens) since you have a CO hazard in enclosed spaces.

    Until the real dangers of asbestos were known, simply knocking the brakes loose was the standard practice even into the late 90's. Meaning when you broke them loose you were kicking asbestos and other particulate into the air, and of course breathing it in. Then we started spraying down the drums and rotors to mitigate the dust problem. I go for chest x-rays every 3-4 years to check for mesothelioma and for good reasons.

    One could as easily look at Hillary's scams. The Clinton Foundation being among the top, that's not even touching on the pay-to-play shit that was leaked out of the hacks. Trump has done some scummy shit, but it's no where at the level of Hillary or actions which have put others at fundamental risk with her desire to gain money.

    Keep in mind that this is exactly what the left keep pushing with their "hate crime" laws, and wanting to implement kangaroo courts for them. We have them in Canada, they're abused. Up until Ezra Levant and Mark Styen won they had a 100% conviction rate. The head of the CHRC was also found to have been deliberately planting evidence against his political enemies then running them against the system to ruin them.

    You guys in the US have gotten your first taste of it, it's called a Title IX tribunal.

  17. Many of them are in isolated reserves with no drinking water. 20 reserves have been under boil water advisories for more than a year. There's no nearby place for them to move to, so in effect they're stuck on the reserves.

    Then there are those near larger communities. Landlords often refuse to rent to them. Employers often refuse to hire them. So, what else can they do? Discrimination against Canada's native peoples runs deep. My best friend in my late teens was a native, but I don't know any other white person who can say that.

    You mean because they refuse to repair their equipment? Their money is being embezzled by the people they elected? That they refuse to allow transparency? Gee sounds like to me those are all self-created problems. FYI you can't refuse to rent to anyone in Canada, it's illegal under at least 3 federal acts, and at least 1 in each province. And I haven't even gotten to HRC clauses. Employers will hire anyone if they can do the job. You obviously don't live near any reserves, I live around 8. When I was in university around 20% of my class were natives, most were my friends. And they were the most vocal saying nearly word-for-word what I've said.

    As for bad choices, look around - bad choices are made by people of all colors and heritages. White people who have never worked a day in their lives, from cradle to social security, just sitting around smoking and drinking and f*cking, or, in one case I know, paying a guy $100 and a case of beer to screw her so she can have another kid and collect more money.

    Bad choices are pretty much universal. We all make them, just that some of us get lucky and avoid the consequences or have a better safety net of family and friends.

    Okay and? You're not doing anything to disprove that they're a product of their own creation in those cases. If anything you're proving my point that throwing money at a situation is the worst solution.

    You want to know what's really funny? If you read the actual ADL post on it, it actually says Pepe isn't a racist meme. It says that some people use it for such, but that doesn't make it so. Anymore then using something else in a meme context. Fuck the media is really trying to push this bullshit hard. So are the retards like the AC that /. promoted this worthless bunch of articles on in the first place. Can't get much more pathetic, and when you hear people talking about this? They're laughing at you, even the normies.

    From the ADL itself:

    However, because so many Pepe the Frog memes are not bigoted in nature, it is important to examine use of the meme only in context. The mere fact of posting a Pepe meme does not mean that someone is racist or white supremacist. However, if the meme itself is racist or anti-Semitic in nature, or if it appears in a context containing bigoted or offensive language or symbols, then it may have been used for hateful purposes.

    You mean Toradol or Tramadol? Both are pain meds the first is stronger then the second, both can be delivered by IV, oral or suppository and both have a short-term and long-term dosing version(12hr). Those are the only two I know of that come close to that spelling and I've been on my fair share of pain meds after I broke my back, from oxycontin and hydromorphone to buprenorphine.

  24. Yeah, you have no idea of what you're talking about. They're not kept on reserves, they can leave whenever they wish and keep their traditions or not. Join society or not. The most vocal about the entire thing are...well...actual natives. Racism isn't keeping them poor, their own choices are keeping them poor. If a native has the choice between going to university, or even working or living the easy life on the reserve with everything provided, while they pound back booze and their kids are huffing. Which do you think they're going to take? It's not the first option, it's the second.

    Corruption is a secondary problem, that the previous government(Harper/Conservatives) tried to fix by requiring mandatory and public disclosures. The current government(Trudeau/Liberals), revoked that law claiming it was racist.
