Will it be worth it? If you've ever been inside a long term care home, you know that there's no dignity left after 70 or so.

Not at all; My comment was entirely facetious. I'm opposed to destroying the past to appease the present. That's why I scour used bookstores for older copies of challenged books. I've had to add Roald Dahl recently, but someone has to remember the past.

If everyone is so determined, perhaps we can start by halting all meat exports and sanctions on countries that import meat.

Just makes it easier to dismiss them as offensive relics of an oppressive white supremacist patriarchy. No-one under 40 is going to miss what they don't want to know about.

Only because the jargon in the title told me nothing about what the article was about, and I thought to save other people from wasting their time by telling them what NAFLD stood for.

If there's no difference, why don't women just opt for the cheaper razors, even if they are mens? Manufacturers only maintain products so long as they sell, and if they can convince gullible people to keep paying, well, that's business. There's a sucker born every minute.

I don't think it was necessarily a sex joke. They objected to being labelled 70% government-funded, so he kindly revised it downward by a whole 1%. Still a troll, though not undeserved. CBC is entirely an arm of the federal government, and wildly biased to the left.

Similar to auto workers unions pricing their members out of competition until the jobs get sent out of the country. You can only push employers so far before they realize that everyone is replaceable.
