I went with this page:

Canada’s provincial and territorial governments are responsible for education. They follow government standards to ensure high quality public education across the country. School is mandatory for children from about the age of six years old to 18 years old. Our study environments are safe and welcoming.

Schooling is mandatory until 18. Any other activity has to not interfere with that. Beyond that, do what ye will.

Reminds me of this article of Yanis Varoufakis : Who’s Afraid of Central Bank Digital Currencies?

The majority of European antisémites have zero problem with the existence of Israel "out there". They are more than happy to see the Jews leave Europe for the middle east. American antisémites are fantasizing that Israel will be the site of the Second Coming of Christ who will then turn all the Jews into Christians.

This observation alone should tell you everything about why it is stupid and wrong to use attitudes towards Israel as proxy measures for attitudes towards Jews. When the antisémites pass your metric with flying colours whereas Jewish anti-Zionists fail it, your metric is just shit, simple as that.

The way I understood your point is that their foundational atrocity, the Nakba, makes majority-Jewish democracy impossible. I.e., it could have never at any point in its history have been a democratic country. Did I understand your point wrong?

To that point I responded that other ethnostate democracies exist in the region that also have foundational atrocities in their history but are now pretty democratic and pretty peaceful, ...all things considered. But they had to learn the lesson the hard way. That's my point, that Israelis need to at some point also face the harsh reality of the impossibility of their nationalist delusions. Just like the Greeks, the Turks, the Bulgarians etc.

Submitting for this truly astonishing quote:

" Landlords in Quebec, however, feel they need to catch up to other provinces as Quebec is still one of the most affordable places to live in the country, said Jean-Olivier Reed, a spokesperson for the Quebec Landlord Association (APQ)."

OK, so hear me out. The Saudi king is the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Since the Hajj is now becoming dangerous for the faithful because of climate change, that means that the Saudi king needs to act to protect the Hajj and the Two Holy Mosques. I.e., the Saudi king has a religious responsibility to act on climate change, by clamping down on CO2 emissions and curtailing hydrocarbons extraction. It's the will of Allah, man.

Airplanes need to start having a "brig" like boats. This taping people down business is silly.

Edit: I love how people are seriously responding to this bit of poop-time wisdom.
