"Objective rational linear thinking" Yeah okay, he's never done that once in his life

Who can even afford to operate on a single income these days anyway?

And David Parker agrees with this outdated schlock? Good ####ing god, that is embarrassing.
I can believe he believes that #### a lot more readily than he believes in science.

Definitely - with the irony being that the poster outlines 'emphasis on scientific method', which timun covered quite accurately!

That poster was created by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. It has since been pulled. But it’s pretty embarrassing.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch by CliffFletcher

I tried to find the context of the infographic. Apparently it was made by the National Museum of African-American History & Culture (a Smithsonian museum on the National Mall in Washington) and posted to this page: https://nmaahc.si.edu/learn/talking-...pics/whiteness

It has since been removed (see "African American Museum site removes ‘whiteness’ chart after criticism from Trump Jr. and conservative media" by The Washington Post), but this is what it looked like in its entirety:

Spoiler!


From the Post article:
The chart came from a 1978 book, “White Awareness: Handbook for Anti-Racism Training” by Judy H. Katz, according to the museum. It lists about 50 attributes white people used to describe their culture. These attributes, it said, “have been normalized over time and are now considered standard practices in the United States. And since white people still hold most of the institutional power in America, we all have internalized some aspects of white culture, including people of color.”
So the answer to your question, dear Locke, is 1978. This was a summary of what white Americans in 1978 thought defined "white culture".

I went to that, and it was as gloriously stupid as you'd expect it to be.

I did too and it was pretty clear that Ann Coulter was an evil shrill horrible person, that it's not an act. And Ezra Levant is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is

No big deal. Nothing to see here.

Part of the issue of ER wait times, is the lack of availability of primary care. People going to the ER for things that could have been prevented with timely access to a Family doctor.

Eff me.

He says he’s coming to free Canadians from tyranny.

It’s disgusting that our premier will share a stage with this goof - horrible but not surprising.

I don't know if Jason Scott knows the intended purpose of those areas because they are all Recreation Areas where the primary purpose and objective is for recreation and tourism.

If they were highly sensitive wildlife areas they would be classified as something else such as a Wilderness Area or Ecological Reserve, etc where the objective is on preservation of the ecosystem and biodiversity.
