How is this national news? Folding bollards existed for about 100 years now…
Because it's meant to stir up anger. Just another in a long line of National Post garbage articles.
Reddit has become a ragebait cesspool lately. It's disappointing.
If you haven't noticed, this sub solely exists to shit on the country and make it out to be 100x worse than it really is.

https://tnc.news/2024/06/05/canadian-cancer-society-cervix-front-hole3/
On a web page dedicated to cervical cancer, the Canadian Cancer Society is apologizing for referring to the cervix by its technical name rather than euphemisms such as "front hole."
The agency also conceded that "men can have these body parts too."
"Trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people face significant barriers to accessing healthcare and are less likely than cisgender people to be screened for cancer," wrote the Canadian Cancer Society in a page on cervical cancer screening for LGBTQ people.
In a "words matter" section on the organization's official website, the Canadian Cancer Society atoned for the fact that some non-binary and transgender people might find the term "cervix" offensive and preferred to use the term "front hole" to refer to female genitalia.
"We recognize that many trans men and non-binary people may have mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like 'cervix.' You may prefer other words, such as 'front hole.' We recognize the limitations of the words we've used while also acknowledging the need for simplicity," the Canadian Cancer Society wrote.
True North reached out to the Canadian Cancer Society for comment but did not receive a response.
Women's rights activists argue that the terminology is both objectifying and derogatory. British gender-critical writer Julie Burchill accused LGBT activists of erasing women by adopting the terms.
"Both 'bonus hole' and 'front hole' are recommended as trans-friendly alternatives to vagina. Trans ideologues have long tried to erase or appropriate any word that is specific to females – from woman to mother and now vagina. And they have gained a foothold in our schools and in our media. Now gynaecological-health providers are swallowing the stupid pills, too," argued Burchill in a 2023 essay published to Spiked.
The term "front hole" and "bonus hole" have been popularized by LGBTQ activists as a replacement for the biologically correct term "vagina."
In 2022, controversy erupted after the Boston Children's Hospital used the term. Other organizations dedicated to women's health have also adopted the offensive term.
"A transgender male teen may still have a vagina. He won't call it a vagina. He may use the term 'front hole' or a different term," said Dr. Elizabeth Boskey in a video by the hospital.
Us men are never labeled "testicle-havers" and our anatomy is never rebranded with "gender-neutral" Orwellian newspeak. That's because transgenderism, at its core, is about erasing women.

At roughly 28M taxpayers, if we all paid an equal share, that's $1700 each. Now I'm aware taxes don't work like that as that ignores corporate taxes etc., but it does put it into perspective. You could give every taxpayer in this country $1700. Imagine what an extra $1700 would do for each of us?

My dad collected a bunch of airmiles and called me to tell me there was enough that I could get myself a special treat 
#JustGirlbossThings
My friends over so we ordered a big Boston Pizza order that would make any !goyslopenjoyers cry. Pierogi pizza, wtf is that? No one knows but my dad's beer purchases paid for it so frick it let's get one.
I made the order. Then I realized it said pickup. Called. They do not do delivery! I'm like oh shit girl we're gonna have to get dressed and get an Uber. And the guy on the phone... gay, mayo, beautiful...
He says he'll come deliver it don't worry about it. We argue like no dawg we can't do that to you don't worry we'll BE there - hes like no bbs how much is that Uber gonna cost you
A patriotic tear runs down my face, memories of when Canadians were kind, went the extra mile, wore deodorant
She's outside waiting to receive him I'm in the gooncave writing to you. !leafs Mass migration is ruining your ability to overwork tired fast food workers even more based off their own inexplicably guilty conscious about 2 r-slurs not being able to read "pickup only"

Sour cream, bacon, Cactus Cut Potatoes, pizza mozzarella, cheddar, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream.

!leafs what the frick are these people even striking for? They get paid obscene amounts, do almost no work and work in stores so over sized they the isles are double spaced.
I mean, wouldn't all the private rural stores with LCBO licenses still work; they aren't unionized employees.
Yup. And thanks to Ford (PBUH) general private sales are coming soon!
sssh
don't you know it's the canadian way to do anything to keep monopolies.
It's not about a monopoly it's about preserving well paid jobs, which are becoming increasingly hard to find
!leafs FRICK THIS NEIGHBOR. Those "well paying jobs" come at the expense of the tax payer and everyman. Canadian wine costs more in the LCBO than it does in Japan! It's a grift and I don't give a single shit about the worthless cute twinks that work there.
And 2.5 billion in profit to fund our social services saving us $$$. Instead, people want to throw it away to corporations.
YUp. Frick our social services, if they need money they can trim some fricking fat. !chuds I pray I live to see the day where the government renigs on all the variouos pensions it loves to hand
Yep. Just more privitization
Which is good for the consumer as it means more choice and better pricing
This logic never makes any sense to me. Preserving jobs for some at an expense to everyone else often makes society worse, not better.
The way to see this is just invert it -- why not add a "paint dry watcher" job where people just get paid $70/hr to stand around to watch paint dry. That job will be well paid... but by adding no social value it's just a tax on everyone else, and will be a net drain on society by diverting potentially productive workers to do something useless.
Any job that needs to be artifically protected might not be as "purely useless" as watching paint dry, but there will still be a partial uselessness that would have been eliminated by a free market. Fighting to preserve these fractions of uselessness is fighting to make people worse off on the whole.
That's a very good point, now lets see how redditors make it about ACAB
We have that already for cops guarding holes in the road whenever pipes need to be replaced. Except it's over $100/hr.
God forbid someone steal the hole and put it in their driveway.
More like "God forbid some shitskin who bought his G hit it, lose control and crash."
This is what brought private stores to Alberta decades ago. Doug doesn't have to negotiate, he can just let grocers sell booze.
Of course, that won't actually make it any cheaper. What makes booze so fricking expensive here isn't the LCBO nor its union, it's government-mandated mandatory minimum prices and assblastingly expensive sin taxes. Anywhere from 40-70% of the price of alcohol is tax in this province. Until and unless that, and the insanely-high mandatory minimums, are addressed, letting Loblaws sell No Name Vodka won't lead to that vodka costing less than $28.95.
Oh don't worry day 1 stores will be reporting "thefts" and then just selling the booze 50% out the back. Injuns do it all the time but with stuff their children liberated from the lcbo
Frick off with your "dry summer" bullshit. We have options and you know it. Tons and tons of distilleries, wineries and craft brewers around, and that's not even mentioning the Beer Store
I know what I'll be doing. In fact I'm doing a cleaning run right now!

The University of Manitoba is decolonizing its art collection, replacing problematic paintings and sculptures with contemporary Indigenous art.
"The university is ultimately a colonial institution that is designed to serve white people ... and that needs to change," said C.W. Brooks-Ip, registrar and preparator of the University of Manitoba Art Collection
One painting removed from the university president's office is a work by Lionel Stephenson, an artist living in Winnipeg between 1885 and 1892.
It's kind of depicting a 'We're over here and they're over there' type situation," Thomas said. "It's not showing community and togetherness.
Another is a sculpture of a buffalo hunt by Thomas Holland, an American artist and polo player. It portrays an Indigenous hunter riding a horse and spearing a buffalo.
While the depiction may be historically accurate, it wasn't created from an Indigenous perspective of cultural understanding,

Transcription
The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the world.
As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtze. Well, Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did, that's who.
They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. And I was there. I saw that.
When distant cities are hit by earthquake, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.
The Marshall Plan... the Truman Policy... all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. And now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans.
Now, I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.
Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas 10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or a woman on the moon?
You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are right here on our streets in Toronto, most of them... unless they are breaking Canadian laws... are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.
When the Americans get out of this bind... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the heck with the rest of the world'. Let someone else buy the bonds, let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both of them are still broke. I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.
Can you name to me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbours have faced it alone and I am one Canadian who is darned tired of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their noses at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.
I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians. And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.
This year's disasters... with the year less than half-over... has taken it all and nobody... but nobody... has helped.
