Brother, what the fuck are you talking about?

Hey did you know that "as a conservative" you're a horrible person? I can't imagine willingly chaining myself to a party that sells out every public service they can to make a buck, all while trying to outlaw trans and gay people.

Unions can't do anything for people they don't represent. Especially when there's been rampant union busting and propaganda leading to a massive drop in union memberships and solidarity actions.

They've been trying, but when people vote against unionization, there's little they can do.

What the fuck are you talking about? This is about as correct of a statement you could have on this topic.

Maybe your anti-union bullshit needs a reminder that union workers literally died for your rights as a worker. Y'know, like having weekends and child labour laws?

Killer music scene with the Horsehoe Tavern, Cameron House, Velvet Underground, Lees Palace, and tonnes of others. Amazing restaurants of all kinds in the city, largely thanks to the MASSIVE immigrant population here. Amazing architecture, including some of the best examples of Brutalism you'll find anywhere in the world. The Toronto Islands are unlike anything I've seen in any other city. The largest streetcar network in North America that creates a very different streetscape vibe to anything else. Festivals like Taste of the Danforth and other street festivals highlight some amazing culture in the city, on top of TIFF being one of the largest film festivals in the world. And Kensington Market deserves a special shoutout for being unlike any neighbourhood I've been to yet.

You can criticize Toronto for not doing enough to support local culture, which I would agree that the Tory and Ford years really did a number on it, but it's outright wrong to say there is nothing special or distinctive about Toronto.

“Like New York without all the stuff.”

This line is said exclusively by people who walk down Bay Street and think that's the whole city.

Toronto has tonnes of its own character, and calling it "empty" makes me think you've never spent any time in it.

Sure. Why not.

It's more nuanced than that, but if you're going to reduce it to make your vague pro-Nazi point, then fuck off, yes throw them all in prison.

@spaduf it's not real, it's a spez protest community with no posts or subscribers. Honestly should just be removed.

 

Can we PLEASE make the top bar be customizable already? Or at least filter NSFW by default? It's a really bad look whenever I open this and "jailbait" is at the top of my screen almost every time.

Again, I don't care how you've voted. If you're considering voting for the cons with him in charge you're an idiot. Flat out. Conservatives only ever make things worse, every single time.

It's hilarious how cons think I automatically like our current PM because I think Skippy is an idiot. I don't care about anything you have to list, because I'm not talking about Trudeau. If the best defence you have is to attack some other guy, MAN y'all are in worse shape than you realize.

Skippy supported a group that was attempting to overthrow a democratically elected government, and constant pushes bullshit conspiracy theories.

Cool, he's also a lying scumbag that will do anything to enrich himself, and get himself more power.

Agreed, I'd also like to see some bollards at the corners. With how I've seen drivers in this city behave, there's going to be people driving right over those curbs.
