The vibe shift, end of "wokeness"?

On the bright side she probably doesn't write very many tickets.

I'm guessing she probably doesn't do much of anything, doesn't jump on the mike for hot shot calls and spends most of her time trying to get off the road (if she isn't already).

My wife was a full-time CC prof but, happily, left before all of that crap started. Our son-in-law was a recent part-time CC prof in IT. A lot of his students were international, some never showed or completed assignments and he was still pressured to pass them. He gave up.

I haven’t recorded my latest podcast yet but I do put forth that the CAF should not be “inclusive” as the DEI gang want it.
Buzz Beurling had it right - there is no room for soft headedness in war.

Not sure if the CAF calls it DEI now, but nothing new about,

Thanks, Inch
I heard that the average i should aim for in gr.12 is 90%.
Is it true?

Well, if your a visible minority, female or are well active, you coul make it in with an 78% average.

Seems to be pretty consistent with what is going on elsewhere. In reality, it would likely have needed to be scaled down significantly for next year, as the City of Toronto's ability to support it will likely be minimal with the World Cup going on at the same time.

More like Toronto Fraud.

It seems the UK can't take a 'woke joke'

A comedy writer’s arrest supercharges a transatlantic debate about free speech in Britain​

Armed police officers are a rare sight in Britain, but the Irish comedian Graham Linehan was met by five of them when he landed at London’s Heathrow Airport from Arizona on Monday, before being arrested, searched and questioned.

The reason? Three posts he wrote on X in April, Linehan claimed on his Substack.

“If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act,” Linehan wrote in one of them, in reference to trans women. “Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.”

Without naming Linehan – the co-creator of the sitcom “Father Ted” who is a gender critical activist – London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed it had arrested a man in his 50s “on suspicion of inciting violence.”

And we have police chiefs telling us to "comply with the criminals"

Not a lot of difference here.

While it's been years since I've been to the UK or passed through Heathrow Airport, one of the things I noticed, even going back to the 1980s, was that every uniformed police officer I saw in the airport was armed (a goodly portion of them with MP5s). I don't know if plainclothes officers at that venue were armed, but then, I wouldn't know if a guy wearing a cheap business suit was a plainclothes police officer.

As for the subject of this interruption, he was returning to the UK to attend his criminal trial for harassment (including on-line) and damage. In the unlikely circumstance that his name wasn't already flagged, it would not be surprising that, if his reason for entering the UK was questioned and he answered truthfully, he would be subject to further scrutiny.

Any potential for backtalk aside, it wasn't that long ago that being Irish would have been suspicious enough.
