[snobbish downtown elite] Are you sure you can say "alive and well"? It's the Lone Star. In Pickering. [/snobish downtown elite]

The other issue with Kritamos was that their focus was on fish. It even said "Greek Fish House" in big letters on their sign. I think that made it a harder sell than if they'd simply focused on trying to do a more interesting Greek menu, albeit one where seafood didn't predominate.

As a result, fewer people will now look up and think that 20 Queen is the HQ of Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

Tower in the parks: Massey Tower rising above Moss Park, viewed from Shuter Street in Regent Park

It’s a Cadillac Fairview project. Of course it spoils the aesthetic. That’s practically the company motto.

Oh, the insinuation I am a woman is supposed to be an insult? Are women bad too? Is Kleenix a typo or an attempt at a burn? It’s unclear.

Or just don't sit there. I have far more issues with people not wanting to move bags, or leaving food crumbs over seats, that dog hair issues. But, admittedly, would like to cage those people too, so perhaps I am on board with your "bring back cages" campaign after all. They will be big...

Interestingly, "tribal-theocratic mutation" gets zero hits on Google as a phrase. I dare say that's made up.

My reference to it was in response to the fears of dogs releasing their bowels and bladders theoretically on a VIA, not as a argument in relation to the recent GO policy change.

This is the funniest sentence of the whole thread, for so many reasons.

AoD was obviously referring to the first Google hit, the Robert Sampson who is the Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University. If only Google allowed you to use more search terms to narrow a search. Oh, we can dream.

I'm naive. Got it. You know, I didn't even understand the whole "acceptable human rights violations" versus "unacceptable human rights violations" until you explained it above, although I am still waiting for you to elaborate on whether or not we are allowed to be concerned if the Saudi police...

"This woman wants to be arrested." Yes, sitting in a Saudi prison is clearly her objective. Are you actually reading your posts? And you actually said "you still don't get it"! ETA: Also, how are the Canadian tweets irrelevant if the Saudi government reacted so hysterically to them? And if...

It wasn't race-based, so the torture and imprisonment of Sampson was legitimate based on Buildup's theory.

I am sure Samar Badawi will be thrilled to hear that the fight for women's rights (not just the vote) is advancing at a "micro level", and that's okay, as she rots in prison.

How is being upset over human rights violations "patronizing"? If the police arrived where you were now, beat you and threw you in the detention centre without charge or access to legal representation, would it be "patronizing" to be concerned about you? What if I tweeted about you from, say...

"Legitimate". I'll just leave that there. Race-based human rights violations illegitimate. Non-race-based human rights violations legitimate. Uh huh.

I'd be more "practical" about a woman being thrown in jail for advocating for her right to vote? You assure me about what I would think? So talking about human rights violations publicly is "grandstanding"? Please tell me all the times behind the scenes diplomacy has worked in this situation...

So it's okay to take issue with horrifying human rights violations based on race, but not okay to take issue with horrifying human rights violations if they are "tribal-theocratic". The former is "illegimate", the latter apparently not. Got it.
