As usual I'll provide an example of why the Postmedia is a joke.

Article titled:

Indigenous leaders call for cancellation of Kneecap concerts over alleged support for Hamas, Hezbollah

https://archive.ph/hRUbh

The indigenous people in question:

The signatories are largely involved with Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem, an international group of Indigenous people from various countries that expresses Indigenous solidarity with Israel.

The comments on that article are... something.

125,000 Canadians move to the US each year for a better life - our best people! My neighbour moved to Texas in December and wished she'd made the move a long time ago. There's bigger everything - larger homes, larger pay, better disposable incomes, more vibrancy, better weather and better people

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

better weather

Uhhh... I guess someone hasn't been reading the news

[–] MyMotherIsAHamster@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

Don't let the door hit you on your ignorant, intolerant ass on the way out 😀

Wow, the national post referring to Jordan Peterson as a best selling author and psychologist who is sooo busy touring, implying he's somehow an upstanding citizen is creepy as hell.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 day ago

It’s the National Post, I would expect nothing less.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

The national post polishes a scam artist.

[–] original_charles@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

They're desperately trying to pawn him off.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s an utterly hideous McMansion riddled with neoclassical embellishments that don’t make architectural sense, isn’t it?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It sure is.

Isn't it hilarious how he's pretending to be a cowboy all over rural Alberta right now so he doesn't have to get a job?

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

What’s worse is that rural Alberta smoothbrains will vote that assclown in. Instead of someone actually from that riding, like Bonnie Critchely.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Well the comments on his Facebook posts are absolutely roasting the shit out of him and are so hilarious, if nothing else.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

Amazing. Am not on fb though so I can’t laugh along.

Someone should buy it and turn it into a queer youth hub and support centre

[–] GrackleBirb@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago

Make sure they respect ALL the pronouns. In fact I'd like to see a plaque listing them on the front of the house itself along with a land acknowledgement and giant permanent Pride flag. And a vegan on site cafe.

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 5 points 1 day ago

Make it unprofitable to sell.

Good riddance.

Jordan Peterson started out as a talented and charismatic academic that gave advice to young people who wanted to improve their life ("clean your room" "Spend time reading books" "don't be hard on yourself").

He slowly turned into a millionaire guru. He now praises pseudo-science, snake oil salesmen and unscrupulous politicians. He is also a self-hating Canadian.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Characterizing Peterson as a "talented and charismatic academic"?? I don't know, maybe he was before anyone knew of him, but he certainly hasn't been that in the public eye.

Jordan Peterson became a well-known figure after publishing a series of Youtube videos about his opposition to Bill C-16, where he argued that respecting people's pronouns is an affront to his free speech. He's been a hack, a grifter, and an asshole since day one.

[–] faxed@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

fuck look how rich you can get being a hate monger. he has dumped piles of cash into that place. cash he got by bigotting all over the place.

can someone book a tour and piss in his closet?

[–] st3ph3n@midwest.social 21 points 1 day ago (5 children)

It'd be hilarious if ICE deported him back to Canada.

[–] Canadian_anarchist@lemmy.ca 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

ICE can send him to that shiny new concentration camp and keep him there. Or maybe he'll be lucky enough to be made stateless by sending him to an unfortunate African country. Peterson has done so much harm to the LGBTQ+ community and young men that he deserves no less.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Noooooo i don't want him back

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

I mean not for us but in general yes haha.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 2 points 23 hours ago

Oooh, then we could refuse him entry and leave him in limbo.

Good riddance. Sadly the internet knows no boundaries, but it's a start at least.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope people are starting to realize what a dork assed loser he is.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just like Trump is a poor man's version of a rich person, Peterson's a dumb man's version of an intellectual.

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Are you somehow implying that using the biggest words in the english language constantly and still not being able to back up or argue for a single thing that's ever left your mouth makes you an idiot?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago (6 children)

That is totally unfair. I think there should be a fair trade of my wife and I going to live in his condo in toronto and he can have my one in the US. Because like im willing to make the sacrifice and I called it so no other us person has to sacrifice because dibs and all.

In Kermit the frog's voice: You have to define what is "up", what is "for", what is "sale"? It's not bloody obvious what these terms mean. This move is like Raskolnikov's struggle with his wretchedness as described in the book of Genesis...

@BonesOfTheMoon

No thanks. You'd never be able to get the smell of keto-farts, lobsters, bullshit and pompous righteous self-indignation out.

I _love_ the fact that he no longer has an audience here and the only ones who platform him are alt-right nutbar MAGA channels.

Too nice of a place for such an ass.
