We’re on vacation near Goderich. 1 “white lives matter” sign, but SO many “No Hate in Huron” signs. Very glad people are countering the hate messaging.

4. If appropriate, reconsider social media usage 🙂

With the added bonus of “voters who are drunk more often are easier to manage”. See “online gambling”.

Too bad Ontario didn’t know this before voting for Doug

Rogers is the country’s top wireless provider

Easy when there’s only 2 service provideers in most of Canada

There’s protocol to being economically attacked, that somehow involves the capital city raising the flag of the attacking country??

Gargarensis, although I can’t imagine why …

Adding charges without your permission goes against the wireless code.

I had great success last year arguing koodo back down to $35 monthly, and got a free upgrade to boot!

He’s not the only one…

US officials … with Russian accents?

The CAR-cophony? I’ll see myself out lol

Sprog?

“But now that you mention it, I can see a vision: BOOM! Boats! CRASH! Cars! EXPLOSIONS!Elephants! And that will just be brunch!”

Yeah my impression was that most of the screaming was triggered by George lol

Then there’s nowhere to go but up!

Who’s “we” in this scenario?

Kitchener for the win!

(Ha ha just realised I should clarify: the city not the person)

Outrageous!

OP: weeeeell, I got better

Oof that’s a whole lot of assumptions. Not every single house owner even belongs to an HOA. Ostracization can also be caused by other factors, like those delightful people who arrange their used car collections.

I’m going to go out on a wild limb and state that lawn ownership is not inherently facist. While it may be the local standard for many people in North America and West Europe, I believe home owners around the world generally have the choice of what to plant in their own property. As you said, there are problems with local setups, where HOAs or other controlling organizations are the norm.

I’ve never heard of an HOA outside the US. Are they all run by the same organization, or do they tend to be different regionally? Genuinely curious, but I think the term “fascism” is generally used when there are literally no other options available. Is buying a house in the US conditional on joining an HOA? Is my perspective too narrow on this?
