I don't know who this guy is, but his response seems ultra shitty.

Wondering if everyone else thinks this would have been a reasonable response: "it was a different time, black face wasn't seen as raciest in the circles i kept, i apologize for any offence i caused, it won't happen again"

Having read one of his books, he's not qualified to speak on the topic of psychology.

The police illegally surveilled her? This doesn't seem good at all. She was voted in multiple times. This is almost opposite of what you are saying.

This is bad.

As a parent, this is a parenting/personal issue, fuck off and please spend my money doing useful things (like supporting health care, or housing) not attempting to protect my children.

Game developers seem to get paid very little for something that's very difficult.

At the root i think passion among a great many people for (games, animals, hockey), leads to an oversupply of talent, which leads to depressed wages.

Seems like that would hurt Canadian journalism rather than kill the internet?

I read one of his books before i knew who he was, and found although the advice was mostly common sense (if a bit context free) advice, followed by long rants about traditional family's, and backed up by bible. I found myself thinking "what about behaviourism research?", you know there has been progress in the last 100 years. I'm ashamed that the traditional family shit didn't tip me off.

I've found him come up in my google feeds often too, It's insidious.

In terms of convincing your brother about how off this guy is, generally there are how to approach things on line (i.e. you can't always take a logical approach). I've also encountered this kind of thing in my extended family, I've got distant aunts that likely voted for trump, and they are otherwise decent people (i.e. not racist, and supportive).

The whole "article"

Canada Post reported a before-tax loss of $254 million for its second quarter. Revenue dropped by $78 million, or six per cent, year-over-year. Canada Post announced a transformation plan in June that targeted the e-commerce market for parcel delivery but ruled out staffing cuts.

Canada post costs money to run, it doesn't lose money, just like our hospitals and schools cost money, they aren't lost we are paying for these things so we have a nice place to live.

It's a small thing, but it's a huge difference of meaning.

If there was anything else at all in the article explaining the increase being unnecessary then maybe...
