Teachers' union votes to urge school boards to remove John A. Macdonald's name from public schools

Yes, John A. Macdonald was one of the politicians who started the "residential schools" program that nearly destroyed the culture of the native peoples. He's also one of the politicians who spearheaded the building of the transcontinental railroad... and he was Canada's first Prime Minister.

This, IMHO, is the Canadian equivalent of tearing down statues to George Washington because he kept slaves. (Yes, I did just quote Trump. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.)--

In the beginning
We could hang with the dude
But it's been too much of nothing
Of that stank attitude
Now they curse your name
And there's a bounty on your face
It's your own fault daddy
Godwhacker's on the case

We track your almighty ass
Thru seven heaven-worlds
Me, Slinky Redfoot,
And our trusty angel-girls
And when the stars bleed out
That be the fever of the chase
You better get gone, poppy,
Godwhacker's on the case

Be very very quiet
Clock everything you see
Little things might matter later
At the start of the end of history

Climb up the glacier
Across bridges of light
We sniff you, Big Tiger,
In the forest of the night
'Cause there's no escape
From the Rajahs of Erase
You better run run run
Godwhacker's on the case

Be very very quiet
Clock everything you see
Little things might matter later
At the start of the end of history

Yes we are the Godwhackers
Who rip and chop and slice
For crimes beyond imagining
It's time to pay the price
You better step back son
Give the man some whackin' space
You know this might get messy
Godwhacker's on the case

I know that some of the posters here user Poser or Daz Studio. I know that some of the posters here edit wikis. How big is the overlap between the two groups?

I think I've mentioned that I'm an admin on the Poser and Daz Studio Free Resources Wiki. That wiki is intended to be a resource site that describes free resources for Poser and Daz Studio. At the moment, it's more of an index of free resources for Poser and Daz Studio.

Right now, most of the wiki's index pages have listings of the form

Well, the unofficial addendum of "whoever compares someone to Nazis loses the argument" doesn't apply.

Chap behind Godwin's law suspends his own rule for Charlottesville fascists: 'By all means, compare them to Nazis'

So, no, don't let anyone shut down the discussion by citing Godwin's observation.

Since the strip updates irregularly and there appears to be a fanbase for it here, I thought a thread would be apropos.

Canadian co-author of U.S. climate report says findings 'flatly contradict' Trump administration

Quote:The report, written by scientists from 13 federal agencies, concludes that the United States is already feeling the effects of climate change, with a stark increase in the frequency of heat waves, heavy rains and other extreme weather over the last four decades.

The report is now awaiting approval from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.
