Why doesn't Canada have the same battles over affirmative action?
Simple: the Charter says that its Equal Protection provision "does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability."
It's litigated around the margins, but the basic premise of AA is firmly entrenched.
I’ve got no words for the massive amount of fury and despair I feel today and I’ve felt ever since the Trump election. I know this, and Dobbs, and the affirmative action case, and so many others are the result of a decades-long onslaught of money to create a more repressive, less democratic, and now more fascist America.
Despair is the way I feel about the rapid climate change crisis that we are living through as well.
For my mental health, I don’t write about this much. When I go back to posting selfies and writing about the little things that go on in my life, I’ll still be feeling this mix of rage and hopelessness, don’t you worry.
Star Wars rules:
- If you’re on a planet or moon or just barely in the atmosphere at all, you can breathe just fine.
- When flying a ship, the control stick gets heavier and more difficult to move the closer to crashing you get.
- Computer security? Never heard of it.
- There are only like 10 people on each planet and they all know each other.
Imagine if the press treated Biden's use of #CPAP as a moment to educate the public about a life-saving treatment for a common condition, instead of like 5th graders saying "Ew, he's old!"
But that wouldn't fit the GOP's pre-existing bullshit narrative, so instead we get this.
