  • Not sure about the “gaslighting”. I think that term is misunderstood, and misused. “Gaslighting is the manipulation of someone into questioning their perception of reality. The term derives from the 1944 film Gaslight and became popular in the mid-2010s. Some mental health experts have expressed concern that the term has been used too broadly.” The movie is worth a watch if you haven’t seen it: A psychological thriller film directed by George Cukor, starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten and Angela Lansbury in her film debut.










  • "He argues grocers used maple leaves, flags, and tags like “made in Canada” to sell products imported from elsewhere”. While this is blatantly wrong, I have to wonder how many times the products were not just imported from “elsewhere”, but from the USA. I think most Canadians are ok buying and supporting products from anywhere BUT the USA. Obviously we look for Canadian products first, but are happy to support new trade with new countries. I just don’t see why stores would slap false labels on products from anywhere but the USA. And if this is the case, it makes the wrong even worse.







  • Both genders don’t use the proper anatomical terms at all. Vagina: This is the internal canal that leads from the cervix to the outside of the body. It’s involved in sexual intercourse, childbirth, and the menstrual cycle. It is not visible from the outside. Vulva: This term refers to the external part of the female genitalia. It includes the labia majora and labia minora (the outer and inner lips), the clitoris, the urethral opening, and the vaginal opening. The vulva is what most people are actually referring to when they say “vagina.”
