Man, I wouldn't "give" them that point at all. The backtracking IS the scheme. They implement whatever completely shit ideological policy that's their flavour of the day, and UNLESS the populace reacts strongly, they say "welp, everyone must be in favour because no one screamed loud enough".
It's a fucking horseshit dirty way of implementing public policy and it's absolutely exhausting because they are doing it EVERYWHERE.
Yeah, I'd say it was better with an audience for sure. It'd be fine at home, but there's a handful or two of scenes in the film where the audience reaction just makes it sooo much better
Just watched this at the Calgary Underground Film Festival and it's a ton of fun. Absolutely phenomenal kill scenes and a cool POV from the killer through most of the movie.
I'm not saying it's a really great movie, but I am saying it's got a lot of really great parts and it's definitely worth watching if you like horror.
David Rosenberg preaching doom? Well we should definitely listen, because he's accurately predicted 912 of the last 3 recessions.
This dude is the ultimate broken record.
For a really good riff on this same idea, I like "How to Lie With Statistics" by Darrell Huff, and it's all illustrated!
Great, easy to understand breakdown of how statistics can be manipulated.
Same could be said for Rotties, Dobermans, Shepherds, and so on. It's not the dogs that are shitty; it's the people that own them. Address that problem and leave the dogs alone FFS.
Wow, lots of people with strong feelings whose version of "I did my research!" is remembering what stories the newspapers wrote because they knew it would spark outrage and attract eyeballs, and hearsay on friend-of-a-friend stories.
So called "bully breeds" are the best dogs I've ever met. I fucking love cuddling with those meatheads. Cane Corsos, Dobermans, and Rottweilers are amazing, loyal, and loving, too.
I've been bitten and needed stitches from both a Chihuahua and a Poodle. My daughter was bit by a absolute shit of a Bichon, and my ex was bit by a Husky when she was a kid. Fuck those dogs we should outlaw and euthanize them all, right breed-banners? Or maybe it does indeed have to do a LOT with nurture, and very little with nature? (or in the case of my ex (according to her Mom) because she wouldn't stop harassing the dog).
However, I've met some nice poodles and chihuahuas and huskies too (not bichons though, little assholes), but I'm not so fucking dumb and shallow as to say we need to outlaw them all, just that owners should absolutely be responsible and liable for their pets' behaviour.
PS - OP your dogs are cute as hell. Look at those smiles!

Whaaaaaat. The CPC is taking their talking points from billionaires and corporate lobbyists and lying to Canadians either directly or indirectly in order to manipulate voter support?
SURELY this has never been done by the CPC before!
LOL, they're not going to reduce your taxes, silly plebe
Just like they fixed it for us the last time, yep!
LOL, new financial exchanges popped up without following AML or KYC rules, trying to skip by all the checks and balances put in place for every other financial institution, and they thought they'd just...get away with it?
Contracts that clearly have no intrinsic value and are tradeable between individuals and corporations - those are derivatives by definition - and all of these companies and "coin" issuers thought that the SEC and CBOE wouldn't come kick down their doors?
Fuck the crypto industry is as dumb as all the AI shills are right now. Goddamn this is funny to watch, and Gensler is no joke when it comes to squashing illegal or unregulated activities.
