They use their mom’s last name.

I grew up in a house where my mother, my, and my stepfathers last names were all different. It caused small problem maybe… twice. It’s really not a big deal.

To be clear, that’s a Québécois(e) wedding, it’s not like that outside of there (but would be fantastic if it was.)

Do they take both names?

This happened in my family, to me, and yes. My middle and last names are my parents last names. Another person I know took the hyphenated version of their parents last names.

For sure.

It does not help that her…

And there it is, folks.

the slogan I’ve seen on some shirts, “good thing we are only looking for equality and not revenge” comes to mind.

Jesus Christ, I love that so much.

I’ll take the downvotes, but a large part of this is because she’s a woman. “One candidate (a man) can rant about gibberish while the other (a woman) has to be perfect.” doesn’t just apply to politics, this sounds like every office I’ve ever worked in.

I meant this part:

…what followed was weeks of relentless harassment flooding my inboxes, demanding that I be fired, claiming that “people like me should not exist.”

Some said they knew where I lived.

I forwarded every message to my managers, every time requesting four things: for advice and support on how to deal with the harassment, for CTV to issue a cease-and-desist letter to HRC, clarification on whether there were any rules against showing a keffiyeh or Palestinian flag on TV, and whether leadership stood behind my coverage.

Each time, I was met with silence or indifference.

If someone threatens my co-workers, I take it seriously.

However, the next morning I woke up to an onslaught of emails and DMs from HRC members who took issue with a visual detail: one of the people I interviewed was wearing a keffiyeh and holding a Palestinian flag. HRC labeled this man an “anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian protester,” and what followed was weeks of relentless harassment flooding my inboxes, demanding that I be fired, claiming that “people like me should not exist.”

Then, several months after the broadcast, my story had quietly disappeared from CTV’s website. The video report and copy had been unpublished without explanation or consultation and replaced with a short copy rewritten by a young, white male colleague. My name had been removed from the byline along with the quote from the protester. In doing so, CTV News breached its own Corrections Policy, which clearly states: “We do not, except in very narrow circumstances, unpublish articles or videos.” This policy is echoed throughout most journalism outlets. Online journalism is a part of historical records and archives. While incorrect information should be corrected and clarified, keeping stories online reflects a commitment to transparency, accuracy, and fairness.

How depressing. How is this legal?

I browse ‘all’ quite a bit, a few times a day, and I have had the same experience as you. I see more posts complaining about “.ml/tankies/etc” than I ever see problematic/whatever posts from them.

Papa bear!?

Yeah to be clear, I’m saying they’re just claiming that. Like I said, no proof, just ‘seriously we claim this, trust us.’

It’s ridiculous.

It’s terrifying how the government can just declare something to be a terrorist organization with no proof at all. Just ‘they raise, uh, money. For… uh… terrorism?’

I’ve heard the story, and it is perfect but my brain absolutely struggles to read it. It manages to sound close while being mostly wrong, haha.

Pet Sematary, two A’s one E.

The name has irked me for ages, it’s so wrong and so famous, haha.

I remember loving everything about this game except the name and the controls; truly baffling decisions there, haha.

Like people who never learn proper English to put the other person first when listing them and yourself.

Was that intentional or am I just reading too far into it?

I’m Canadian and didn’t, particularly with the picture of the man as the image for the story.

I’m not sure it’s literal, more of a “I feel this way, and I don’t want to assume others do, yet I have to ask has anyone else…?”

You wanna mod instead, go do it.
