It is not saying that Sam and his parents did not care about other people's wants, although of course that could well be true.
It does suggest that "I don't care to think about you enough to have an idea of what you want, so I'm going to eschew that responsibility altogether." A key part of gift giving is the thoughtfulness that went in to getting the right gift. Not doing that sends a message.

Not Kulak but 50-50. The CBC has been slipping in public conciousness ever since they lost the NHL rights to Roger's in 2015 and Peter Mansbridge retired. The only people who watch CBC news are old Lauerntian boomers. The only relevant CBC show in the last decade was Schitts Creek which ends this year. I'm not sure the majority of Canadians would notice or care.

From the rest of the post it seems like that's just a typo.

Over the long run, economic growth is tends more to its flexible price/potential GDP groeth. Potential GDP is typically your Cobb-Douglas type Productivity/Capital/Labour mix. Canada's productivity growth has been anemic compared to the US and Germany. Funds for capital is pretty mobile between countries, allowing it go to its most productive uses. So labour growth drives GDP growth in Canada. According to Statcan's most recent demographic estimates, almost all of Canada's population growth is due to net migration. Natural increase is almost negligible. Cutring off migration without finding ways to increase productivity and increase capital would cause a pretty big shock to potential GDP, leading to stagflation.
Their take is certainly a doomer take, but it isn't indefensible.

The M1 redefinition makes estimating models annoying too, although M3 is a good enough measure nowadays given how liquid even savings accounts and GICs are.

This is silly.
- The assasination of Kennedy was a national tragedy and the killer died before prosecution. Oswald, the 60's equivalent if a tankie, is also wildly unrepresentative of secular America.
- Roe v. Wade and other legal decisions Christians don't like are the state making rules for what the state wants to permit. The stated deal with seperation of church and state is that the state and church don't get a privlidged interference in the realm of the other. No established churches, no state telling the faithful how to worship. Christians don't have to get abortions, and its their civil right to protest laws they find unjust. Roe v. Wade fits nicely into the deal.
- Curtailing the Eucharist (in Canada, we still can't drink the sacred blood) directly violates the deal. Telling the faithful they can't do a core part of the faith on pain of legal penalty is the state privlidging itself in the realm of the spiritual. The equally unacceptable inverse would be the state establishing a church with mandatory attendence on pain if legal penalty.

If anything, I've found cultural appropriation has been used a stick to prevent cultural transmission and enforce hedgemony at home.
"Don't wear the Aisan dress 2nd gen immigrant, wear the American one. Wouldn't want to appropriate now would we?"

They desist. Turns out for most marginalized people, getting away from high school greatly improves the quality of their life.

Classes have major issues issues in common that bind them together. That does not mean they share the same opinion on all causes. Israel is a cause with conflicting opinions in the PMC previsely because it isn't a fully animating issue for the PMC. Hence the only reason you see a flaw in his model is you seem to posit anti-semetism /should/ be an animating issue.

Our governor generals are appointed by the Crown. The PM recommends, but it is still a royal function.

That sub is mostly trans posters. If a place isn't a total hug box it's "toxic." I guess this is how all pressure groups operate though.

Thanks for all the hard work, and it's a shame it didn't work out over on leddit.
Can we start our own collection of Marseys like on the parent site?
During a live Q and A, she asked about the 2018 WJC he was on. He misheard it as a question about the 2022 Senators and gave a banal answer about looking forward to having fun with the boys. Anither journalost at TSN then used that exchange to make Batherson look tone deaf in a print article.
