Obviously students don’t care about the massive waste of money the TRUSU is. Scrap it.

Way to pick a difficult and underexplored topic. Sure, you have a strong grasp of language and managed to dress it up a bit, but your points are as unoriginal as the music you’re trashing. You could easily have done a CTRL+C, CTRL+V from the Facebook page of any hipster in North America.

The whole “Nickelback sucks” thing is done. They don’t care, their fans don’t care, and there are entire genres of music more deserving of your criticism.

Comment on Ontario teachers colleges to implement mandatory gender and sexuality education by editorofomega

Wow.

1. I read it again, just to make sure (as I suspected) that nowhere in this article was it even implied that youth suicide was exclusively a homosexual phenomenon.

2. I believe where it says “Statistics Canada” should be sufficient as far as the “‘doubled’ in hate crime,” reference. I personally double checked the statistics provided there and have adjusted the sentence accordingly. It went from “between the years of 2007 and 2008, hate crimes involving sexual orientation and gender doubled,” to “between the years of 2007 and 2008, hate crimes involving sexual orientation increased 127 per cent.” (Which, by the way, is MORE than doubled. Thank you for pointing out the error) You can find the study at http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/85-002-x/2010002/article/11233/tbl/tbl02-eng.htm if you want to double check my double check. I’m pretty sure Statistics Canada is fairly widely accepted as a reliable source of accurate data, although they do admit that the numbers are actually likely higher than those they have, as many crimes of all forms go unreported.

your info is a bit skewed, suicides are not exclusive to homosexuals in youth. how many youth who were not confused died?
why don;t you try reporting facts not agenda. and for the “doubled” in hate crime – do you have any statistics to prove that and cite stats not opinion.
