Poilievre is a fucking idiot.

Ever seen a movie called V for Vendetta?

The word "means" is also used for logical entailment, in which case it's not symmetric. The dog's coat is wet which means it's raining. And of course, a man is a featherless biped, but not every featherless biped is a man.

But the way, we are not arguing about the same thing. You think I'm defending the stupid ruling. I'm not, I'm just saying that language is not algebra.

In fact to paraphrase Nish Kumar, if we're going about precisely characterizing things, a more interesting precise characterization than the meaning of the word woman is the characterization of the people who obsess about it as transphobic idiots.

LMDE because it's Mint and a recent Debian stable.

I don't think anything in the ruling hinged on the semantics if the world "means". That said, there is nothing ambiguous in saying that a logical relation is not symmetric. Symmetry, like reflexivity, transitivity etc, are well defined in algebra.

Cross the aisle then.

Rapist doesn't understand that "No means no".

The American mind cannot comprehend this.

Only if you assume that the word "means" defines a symmetric relation.

Next: German authorities name Haaretz an antisemitic publication.

Honestly and unironically the quebeckification of the ROC would be awesome.

Really? Just google "Poilievre deport" and the first two hits are literally:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/canadas-tory-leader-vows-to-deport-foreigners-for-antisemitic-crimes/

https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/article-850082

It's barely a dogwshitle at this point.

 

Given the rapidly evolving political landscape in the United States and reports of individuals encountering difficulties crossing the border, [the Canadian Association of University Teachers] strongly recommends that academic staff travel to the U.S. only if essential and necessary.

I am actually furious at Rosemary Barton for not pushing back at the frankly astonishing rhetoric we are getting from Gordon Sondland. Going on Canadian TV and saying that "everything is up for negotiation" when it comes to what Canada is willing to discuss? And Barton just sits there saying "I have no opinion"?! And then saying telling us we should not take him serious because that's Donnie's personality after our own fucking Prime Minister has basically told us the threat of annexation is actually real?? And then talking about forcing us into a customs union or "common passport"?

Sondland was talking down on us, scolding us for taking his shitty president seriously, and Rosemary Burton was just letting him go unchallenged. What is this bullshit?
