  • Don’t go to bars in Canada on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in winter then cause…god damn it’s all they’ll show. OH and if you’re lucky, Friday Nights too.

    in my 40+ years being Canadian i’ve YET to meet another fellow canuck that enjoys or watches curling. never. and yet they’ll show the absolute shit out of it on TV here. I don’t get it. We even have god damn curling clubs everywhere and I STILL have yet to meet anyone that loves it and plays it.

    It’s just so bizarre. finding a hockey fan or simply someone who has played hockey? sure no prob, we all played as kids. But curling? never. I don’t get it. I think it’s some Canadian conspiracy or something. Like for decades the Canadian government has been trying to push curling on us to make it popular or something and no one plays it. no one watches it. but you see it all the god damn time.

    In Canada the government was providing something like close to $3000 per person during the pandemic if they had lost their job or were unable to work due to covid on the condition you pay it back. many people ripped off the program, many people didn’t pay it back, government has kinda been mute on the whole thing since then. Guy I knew got it twice and could argue he didn’t need it (he was a POS). never paid it back, didn’t hear a peep from the government and still hasn’t. continues to pay his taxes annnnnnd nothing, no one has ever come calling to collect.

    Another thing is during the pandemic we were putting homeless individuals in hotel rooms for months on end. we paid for it. we “suddenly” were able to find them housing. People were working from home remember that? nothing collapsed, companies continued doing well. Then suddenly the pandemic ends and now for whatever reason we no longer have housing for the homeless, we can no longer put them in those hotel rooms, and we’re forcing people to return to work. We no longer have money for anything?

    it’s not that we didn’t learn anything, the people sure as fuck did learn something, It’s just that there’s more money to be made by the powers that be going back to the “old ways”.
