My firm belief is that any billionaire is a self-serving, conniving asshole. You don't get to be that rich without stepping on thousands and thousands of people on the way up.

Anytime you see the word 'inflation' in the news, replace it with 'highest corporate profits since 1950.'

So just getting started watching peaky blinders and trying to sort out both the politics and the characters and the only thing bugging me is the Irish spy woman - her hair is so wrong for this. It’s obviously been styled with an iron. So distracting.

Anthem singer at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair apparently didn’t get the memo in 2018 that it’s actually “in all of us” now, not “in all our sons”. Can only assume it’s ignorance or misogyny, neither of which is a good look.

There’s a “green thumb” joke in there somewhere but I can’t bring myself to go there.

A chlorine-laced pox on whoever “invented” the pool game Marco Polo and the same for parents who let their kids shout it in hotel pools at all hours. All of them can just… themselves

At the Brandon Winter Fair and doing my bit for the rural MB population who perpetually vote against their best interests.

Not unheard of in early March, but certainly not the norm, especially since most of this snow only showed up a couple of days ago and measured 22cm (8in) and this is all that’s left.

Those are the things K was intended to teach - graduallly getting kids ready for full-time school, not 'being' full-time school.

@BillieBun No- for full-day kindergarten. I know most kids have gained social skills via daycare and nursery school, but it still feels wrong to have pre-requisites for kindergarten - it's like saying you need to know the grade 12 stuff before you start the year.

Expert on CBC Now saying a third of kids showing up for kindergarten are already “behind” and hold up the rest. It’s not clear what they’re supposed to already know about school before school actually starts. Maybe expectations are the problem? I’m not convinced about full day K one way or the other but the argument shouldn’t be you’re not smart enough before you even start.
