I just find it odd how Albertans would agree (particularly during a recession) to directly fund Quebec's initiatives (particularly musical bus stops). I can imagine there would be many protests, yet I haven't heard of any in the news.

I'm sorry but I'm still a bit confused. Did Quebec get 50% of those payments directly from Alberta, or from the federal government as a whole? Where can I find this information? I'm very interested to see the stats and learn more. TIA

How would Quebec get a hold of Albertans' tax dollars? Bus stops in Montreal are the responsibility of the STM, a municipal business. If you could explain your comment, I'd really appreciate it. TIA

Butters first says that his weiner is stiff and pointy, then his father says that it (referring to the erection) is a compass; therefore, lemmingoverlord is correct.

Brooklyn Nine Nine definitely :)

Ok... I guess I understand her reasoning. However, other criminals could use similar arguments. Prison would be stressful for most people, so others could have stress-related health problems. Let's not forget how many people commit suicide in prison. So, in the end, her reasoning is still ridiculous. She killed someone and needs to face appropriate consequences. If she gets a lesser type of punishment because of her weight, then that will set precedence for anyone else who is obese and who commits crimes.

I think that many would talk back anyway. It would be important to also teach students to question things in a respectful manner (to have a discourse, rather than an argument).

@metalman I definitely understand your point, but (simply playing Devil's advocate here) couldn't we argue that the education system should do a better job of teaching students from a younger age to think more critically? I was first challenged to think more critically when I was in college, a privilege that not everyone has in today's world.
