Text of the page (random words):
ading the hate in elections especially in this us election cycle the politics of division are being used to drive voters to the polls how does that work in the us if you re a republican you have a subset of supporters that make up a minority of the population you want them to vote because if they do your chances of winning go up in north carolina the plan to bring out these folks was the so called bathroom bill hb2 was passed which prevented transgender folks from using the bathroom that matched their identity the bill was not required except to give conservative christians a good reason to vote and ensure a republican victory when opposition to the bill started to rise across the state and country the republicans made up the threat of men pretending to be women going into the womens washrooms to assault little girls it is ludicrous yet repeating it often enough their supporters start to vilify the lgbtq communities things like this happen https www facebook com events 1200582556667902 ti cl all of this happens because a political party will stop at nothing to win they don t care if it means they are providing open season on lgbtq citizens federally the trump campaign is doing the same blaming all the problems in the usa on mexicans using blatant misogyny and attacking muslims supporters of trump show up at rallies wearing t shirts saying stop the cunt a pastor stating it s better to have a president who grabs pussy instead a president that has a pussy hate hate hate it s seems to have backfired federally in that many christiansare speaking out students at liberty university have called out the school s president for supporting trump conservative women are now speaking out against voting for trump wedge issues can be very nasty the republicans have been using them with great success for years now it may be they have gone too far this time let s hope so posted by ricky at 10 13 2016 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 3 10 2015 none is too many i tuned into justin trudeau s speech last night like many to hear what he had to say about liberty and the politics of fear i expected he would largely ignore the ndp in the speech and target harper and the conservatives and that was what we got all day the liberal party has been pumping up the speech liberty and the politics of fear trudeau provided a little bit of history praised the charter of rights spoke of multiculturalism and then got into the politics of fear to this point he didn t say much with which i could disagree he wasn t doing a bad job up to this point we all know trudeau is prone to gaffes in unscripted moments it s part of his charm a gaffe in a prepared speech is no longer a gaffe is it that s what happened trudeau in an effort to describe the perils of muslims in canada under the conservatives actually compared their plight to that of the jews fleeing the nazis in the lead up to world war ii and subsequently refused entry into canada so we should all shudder to hear the same rhetoric that led to a none is too many immigration policy toward jews in the 30s and 40s being used today to raise fears against muslims today trudeau said so who was talking the politics of fear trudeau in implying that under the harper government conservative immigration policies and rhetoric was creating an atmosphere similar to the liberal government of mackenzie king s none is too many policy against european jews in world war ii if you are unfamiliar with the none is too many see this national post article from 2011 none is too many memorial for jews turned away from canada in 1939 canada s government was refusing to take in european jews fleeing germany in one example 900 german jews sailed for cuba in 1939 and were refused landing the same happened in miami the ship came to canada and was refused the ship then had no choice but to sail back to europe 254 of the people turned away by canada died at the hands of the nazis instead of talking about what trudeau wanted us to focus on were all about a gaffe this one it seems was written into his prepared speech that s a gaffe one has a much harder time defending this will need more than hopeandhardwork one lucky thing though eh trudeau had no media availability and didn t have to explain his support for c51 michael geist giving a talk on standing up for liberty then saying you don t want to get into political fight over c 51 makes no sense to me trudeau slams tories for terror rhetoric posted by ricky at 3 10 2015 1 comment email this

under appreciated and under estimated by the administration of uoft i was astounded to learn how little these people made and how much the university actually depends on them you can learn more about the ta s fight for a fair deal here no bargaining dates set university of toronto education workers toronto teaching assistants on strike check out twitter hashtag we areuoft dear friends i was really looking forward to attending your production of the laramie project this week as a gay man who grew up in a small town in western canada this play speaks to my own history unfortunately i can not attend teaching assistants are on strike and it would mean crossing their picket line i could not cross a picket line in which workers and students are forced to stand against an institution which won t negotiate a fair agreement this means i will miss your production which you and many students have put so much effort i am so very sad please convey my regrets to the crew of this production and most certainly onto the president of the university i look forward to seeing further productions after the students and workers have received a fair deal sincerely yours rick barnes toronto posted by

implement the new health and physical education curriculum as i stated in this post it s long overdue and very much needed dammit janet does a good piece here i have been passionate about this since i was a kid in high school trying to figure my way forward i knew i was different from grade three or four i didn t know why or how i was different or if there was something wrong with me teachers never said anything in school about differences you learned from your friends and peers we were taught how babies were made and how to avoid venereal disease and you didn t want to be called fag or homo that was it so in grade ten i found myself in the library of my high school practically alone it needed to be that way you couldn t be caught looking up something like homosexuality i ve told the story of the beating and taunting i was subject too in high school you can see that here i mention it as it was after the beating when i was sure i must be a homo in the library i checked the shelves nothing said want to find out if you re a fag i was scared i finally pulled out a huge dictionary i looked up homosexuality it confirmed my friends and peers taunts i was a pervert it was freaky to read that it was a low point yet somehow i came around to thinking it couldn t be true i wasn t a bad person i still never talked to anyone about it you couldn t and this all came flooding back to me when i heard graham moore who won best adapted screenplay for the imitation game his words could have saved me a lot of grief and a lot of lost lives i am very excited the ontario government has brought in such an important and life saving curriculum so many like me didn t make it so many struggled much more some still live with the scars post traumatic stress disorder from high school no less the carnage of the system can be explained no better than through canuck attitude blogger bruce bruce was a victim this is what he had to say about the it gets better project bruce said as much as i m impressed and heartened by dan bruce making bread on a visit to my farm savage s it gets better project and the incredible response it has generated i can t shake the feeling that all we are doing is patting kids on the head and sending them back to the dungeons while telling them to be patient i m sorry but that s still a kind of tacit approval of bullying bruce was a victim of our school system three decades after leaving it his life experience an experience not unlike many other gay men some make it too see it gets better and some don t make it out of the dungeon the new curriculum the ontario government is bringing in this september will go a long way to eliminating the dungeon and cases of culturally induced ptsd posted by ricky at 2 25 2015 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 2 23 2015 it s education not dirty talk ontario will get it s long awaited revamp to the health and physical education curriculum for grades 1 12 the changes are long overdue and expected to be well received by most in ontario i am very pleased to see these changes kudos premier wynne the minister of education liz sandals vowed this morning that this will be the curriculum the minister promising not to back down is a good one and you might think it weird for a minister to make such a comment well she had too the last time the liberals introduced changes to this curriculum they backed down when a small group of evangelical and conservative politicians made a big noise the media will be telling us of the groundswell of opposition to these changes they will be wrong i suspect an overwhelming majority of folks in ontario still support these changes even if its five years after first proposed martin regg cohn of the toronto star gets it it s not dirty talk regg cohn no it s not dirty talk just straight talk on sex sexting body parts consent mental health and other life or life saving skills for girls and boys the idea is for teachers to inoculate students against the ways of the world before they surf the world wild web on their own and this opponents claim they don t oppose sex education just that parents should teach it at home which sounds suspiciously like a home schooling recipe for unravelling any class based curriculum and assumes that kids would cheerfully absorb parental lectures on the perils of oral sex or that teenagers heed their parents about anything some of the more opportunistic politicians from the official opposition say they support sex ed they just want more parental involvement or as leadership candidate monte mcnaughton argues while boasting of his credentials as the father of an 18 month old parents should be at the table apparently it s not enough that the government consulted hundreds of experts educators and religious bodies reached out to parents from the more than 4 000 elementary schools across ontario have massive support from teachers and their unions in all school boards and that public opinion polls show more than 9 in 10 parents are broadly supportive there will be many complaints from the few about a lack of consultation they will be wrong again just remember the noise is only deafening because it is amplified pressprogress does a good job of taking apart the case made by campaign pro life in this link pro life group fears gay agenda will plant ideas in the minds of ontario s school kids the new curriculum can be found here regg cohn s article here and the noise makers lifesite campaign life coalition posted by ricky at 2 23 2015 no comments
