Judt found this story from two Canadian parents, one of them is a nurse. Apparently, they bound the arms of their 16 year old son and let him play in a freezing pool where he was later found dead. They referred to him as "freak" and played it off as a term of endearment. They also stole his prescription medication and used it for themselves. The Inside edition video is a doosie, they talk about him like he's the family dog.

Damn he had the safety helmet and all...

Canadians also invented, and are somehow proud of, the Caesar cocktail, which contains vodka, tomato juice, clam broth, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and is served with ice in a celery salt-rimmed glass and garnished with celery and lime. It looks as disgusting as it sounds.

This is true. I never understood why those are so popular, especially the bottled or canned ones. The only time it's acceptable is if someone is making them very strong and spicy so the vodka kills the taste of the clamato juice...

On the topic of poutine- its a great late night pub or 4am post bar munchie if you get it at a good place. Though I can see how some people would think its disgusting.

There is also the proud national Canadian franchise of Tim Hortons. Canadians used to be very passionate about Tim's, but many feel the quality has declined over the years.

I've been told that Fudgee-O cookies, Dunkaroos, and Coffee Crisps are only in Canada as well. Childhood classics.

Yes, just like in every Scandinavian country. The thing is, here in the north, where winter really is winter, it's much preferrable to give enough for the poor so that they don't start to die in the streets when it's cold. Not only because it's bad for the general morale to see homeless freezing to death half of the year, but also because in that way the poor of the society are quite docile and practice much less criminal activities than they would do should their position be more desperate. This is the real reason behind the social welfare states, in my opinion, and I've had ample time to analyze this as I live in one.

LA and San Francisco bums would beg to differ. All the gibs in the world, and still criminals.

I wish they would freeze, those places would be better off and the overall public moral would improve.

You don't seem to understand the extent of welfare benefits Scandinavian countries offer. Quite literally you're provided for housing, food, internet, smart phone and enough cash to keep you in beer and pretzels etc. Even gender reassignment surgeries and boobjobs are paid by welfare if you can convince the system that you need them for your mental health. Psychotherapy is covered, as are child support payments and daycare costs. Quite literally people on welfare live just as well as the low-income working class here, if not sometimes even better.

No, I do. That's why they're cesspools full of third-world rapeugees.

Like canada.

I had a positive view of Canada until I got online. The majority of the self-identified Canadians I have come across like to talk smack about the United States, a lot, but will become outraged if you say anything negative about their country.

I've dated a few Canadian women and each one was bat crap crazy. It doesn't surprise me that the whole country is munted. Hopefully it's eventual annexation will come with more than just an insect hivemind cleansing.

I used to believe the US had the most retarded family court system in the developed world. This documentary convinced me otherwise.

In jail, Turner wrote to a judge and, contrary to normal legal procedure, received advice on how to appeal her arrest and imprisonment.

Turner was therefore released on bail and successfully sued for joint custody of Zachary with the Bagbys...

On August 18, 2003, Turner jumped into the Atlantic Ocean with thirteen-month-old Zachary in a murder-suicide.

...Fucking what.

I must watch this. Thanks for ruining the rest of my week.

Tim Hortons' went to shit after Burger King bought it in 2014 IIRC.

I worked at a Tim's for a while and everyone came to work with McDonald's coffee, including management: we'd just transfer it into a Tim's cup. I guess Tim's changed their beans some years back and McDonald's started using Tim's old blend.

The doughnuts are lame now, although sometimes I'm weak for an apple fritter or frosted cinnamon bun.

Three pages and no mention of Luka Magnotta?
I had no idea who this person was but then Netflix kindly provided me with a documentary that made me aware of his existence. This was not a good thing and I had no need of that knowledge but I watched it all the same.

I've only seen this one covered by Rebel Media, so take it with a grain of salt -

Edit - Also, I should mention shit like - https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/saska...in-fatal-shooting-of-indigenous-man-1.3796394

The Native that got capped? Part of a group that admitted they were targeting farms for thefts, and yet, his family has the audacity to claim that justice wasn't served.

The last decent Prime Minister they had was Joe Clark, and that was because he was ineffectual, rather than any particular good.

The fact that this clown is allowed any kind of counseling practice is alarming as fuck.

Also, the fact that this shit happened, and was essentially the origin of the "gender is how you feel" bullshit that informs the modern troon movement.

Harper doesn't get enough credit, primarily because our media thinks anybody right of Stalin is literally Hitler. He wasn't perfect but his finance minister kept us from getting absolutely devestated by the 2008 market crash; no CDOs for Canada. Contrast that with the rest of the developed world taking various depths of dicking.

Somebody else mentioned that a lot of people are way too trusting of our media here and that's very true; we pay $1.5B a year to be propagandized to by a bunch of smarmy assholes. CBC radio is good for a hate listen now and then, though; I'll never forget the tale of the poor put-upon lesbian girl growing up in the 80s in small-town Alberta, enrolled in a Catholic school (to non-Leafs that's essentially to be viewed as growing up black in apartheid South Africa).

She wore combat boots, dyed her hair orange, pierced her eyebrow and generally made a point to be the most obvious dyke possible. Her friends? All very supportive. Bullying? Nope, none of that. The teachers? Not one of them ever said a word to her about it.

What? You wanted to hear the rest of her harrowing tale? Sorry, you don't understand; that's the whole story. A bunch of Catholic school kids and teachers treated her just the same as anybody else, no more and no less. All she wanted was a little recognition, maybe for one of her presumably conservative teachers to give her an "Attagirl" and a hug but instead they treated her like a normal person.

SHAME!
SHAME!

And then, of course, we have shit like this completely not-racist Toronto policy.... (Granted, the guy looks like a troon)

Disabled man told subsidized housing is for Muslims only

By Marco Chown OvedStaff Reporter

A young wheelchair user has been taken off the waiting list for a publicly subsidized apartment because he is not a member of the Muslim community that established the building — a practice that, while legal, raises concerns that accommodations for cultural and religious groups could be limiting access to affordable housing.
According to a letter that arrived at his mother’s house last week, Austin Lewis, 21, was removed from the waiting list at the Ahmadiyya Abode of Peace building on Finch Ave. W in North York because he is not a member of their faith.
“It was mostly confusing, more than anything else,” he said. “Why would a government segregate its own building?”

The 16-storey building, which provides a range of services to its residents including a prayer room that accommodates 250, was actually approved in the 1990s as part of a provincial program to encourage non-profits and religious groups to build affordable housing, according to its property manager. Before this year, the building was open to anyone and those already on the waiting list maintain their priority, whatever their faith.
Lewis, who has used a wheelchair since a disease attacked his spinal cord when he was 8, says he applied to more than 100 accessible buildings in Toronto, Brampton and Peel Region, and there was no notice that any of them were restricted to a certain community.
“We had no idea. The letter came as a complete shock,” he said.
The city provides a $1.7-million subsidy for 94 rent-geared-to-income units under a five-year agreement, which began Jan. 1, that restricts tenants to “members of the Muslim Jama’at.”

“The City’s mandate policy allows social housing providers to restrict their housing to individuals belonging to an identifiable ethnic or religious group if specific conditions are met,” says a statement provided by city spokesperson John Gosgnach.

Or this absolute fuckedness... (Granted, the guy is a Jordanian)... The guy's DEFENSE is asking for 6-10 years!

Windsor shooter gives impassioned speech during sentencing hearing
Taylor Campbell
Updated: January 14, 2020

Dia-Eddin Hanan did what any parent would have done when he fatally shot one man and paralyzed another outside his Windsor home two days before Christmas in 2015.

That’s what the 37-year-old said in court Tuesday during his sentencing hearing for manslaughter and firearms charges while a dozen friends and family members wept and whispered prayers in the public gallery behind him.

“The gun was pointed at my chest,” Hanan read from a notebook when Superior Court Justic Kirk Munroe granted him the opportunity to speak. “My life, my children, my family was at risk. People can only imagine being in that position.”

He maintained his innocence, and went on to say, “I’m a humble man of respect and dignity and common sense. I would never shoot anyone for no reason, let alone at my family’s home with my children there — that’s preposterous.”

"If I’m wrong for saving my life and protecting my family, especially my children, then so be it."

A jury in November found Hanan not guilty of second-degree murder, but guilty of manslaughter in the death of Alekesji Guzhavin, a 30-year-old London man. He was acquitted of an attempted murder charge in the shooting of Gregory Henriquez, 39, an American living in Windsor at the time who was severely injured and left permanently paralyzed.

The jury found Hanan guilty on two other counts: discharging a firearm with the intent to wound and possessing an illegal firearm.

During the four-week trial, Henriquez testified he had given Guzhavin a ride to Hanan’s residence to borrow money. Hanan told the jury the two men came to his home unannounced to shake him down for money, and he offered them $300. Hanan said he wrestled a gun away from Guzhavin and began shooting wildly into the dark to protect his life and the lives of his two children — ages two and one at the time — and adult family members who were inside the house.

Assistant Crown attorney Jayme Lesperance restated the Crown’s position that Hanan brought the gun to the violent encounter and had possession of it the entire time.

Lesperance asked for a sentence of 17 years, and called defence’s request for a six- to 10-year sentence “entirely inappropriate.”

“The sentence has to reflect the facts that Mr. Guzhavin was killed and Mr. Henriquez will never walk again,” Lesperance told the court.

Hanan’s defence lawyer, Christopher Uwagboe, told reporters outside Superior Court the jury may have found the nine shots his client fired “excessive for (a finding of) self-defense,” but he found it appropriate for a six to 10-year sentence. He also said Munroe, in deciding Hanan’s sentence, will have to take into consideration that Hanan was not facing any criminal charges or under a weapons prohibition at the time of the shooting.

Uwagboe said Hanan, who is not a Canadian citizen, faces deportation to Jordan because of his yet-to-be-determined sentence. Hanan arrived in Canada as a convention refugee when he was a child.

“Beyond his sentence, beyond his parole… if he gets deported he’s not going to see his family,” Uwagboe said. Hanan and his wife now have three children, ages six, five, and two. “That’s what I think weighs heavily on him.”

Before bowing deeply toward Munroe at the end of Tuesday’s proceedings, Hanan said he wished Guzhavin was still alive and Henriquez could still walk, and that he had never crossed paths with either of them.

“I was there the night of this. Not your honour, not the jury, not the crown, and not the police, but me. I felt the fear. I was the one being threatened,” Hanan said.

“If I’m wrong for saving my life and protecting my family, especially my children, then so be it. I know any mother or father would have done the same thing.”

He added he meant “no disrespect” to the court or Munroe, whom he called “the wisest of the wise when it comes to the law” but said he was “not trying to butter (Munroe) up or suck up to you.”

Munroe told Hanan, “You have always been respectful.”

Hanan will be sentenced on March 2.
