The true figure is nowhere near 50%. These figures match other countries, as well. In general, only about 15-20% of the population consumes cannabis. The number is a bit higher if you include people who smoke like once a year.

Smaller class sizes and more teachers. Part of why the problem kids are a problem is because the one teacher has to stop everything to deal with them.

Also, we need to stop pretending education is one size fits all. A lot of the “problem kids” are kids that aren’t well suited to sitting down for hours at a time having lessons dictated to them by an overworked, underpaid teacher. This is often especially true for young men. Our education system hasn’t been updated in over a century, really, in terms of this one size fits all approach. We need more outdoor-based education settings for these types of students, for example, leaving the classroom learning to those who are suited for it so they aren’t being distracted by the bored kids who need to be out doing stuff all day long and learning experientially.

No, the entire point here is that this will me he WON’T be able to talk shit on this. That is why he keeps avoiding it. This is Trudeau playing him into a corner.

Trudeau is further pushing Pierre into a corner with Pierre’s refusal to get the necessary levels of security clearance to be leader of the opposition, much less leader of the country.

Anyone who cares about Canada should be deeply troubled that someone in his position is so desperate to avoid getting that security clearance. And should ask what it is he’s avoiding being held accountable for.

No. Because Pierre will be giving info he will be legally sworn to secrecy on. The purpose of him being given this access is because it’s important info for the leader of the opposition to know, even if he is inexplicably refusing to get the correct level fo security clearance required to get it through the normal channels for people in that position.

This is the government bending over backwards to try to keep the leader of the opposition informed on issues that are important for the security of our nation, even as he is doing his very best to avoid getting that info for some reason.

The question that leads intelligent people to ask is why is he putting so much effort into avoiding being informed about these issues? What is he so scared to know, on record?

This is a typical, lazy straw man.

“The left” are first of all not some kind of monolith. Obviously. Second of all, the notion that this supposed monolith are all “shouting down men” is nonsense, too.

Now, there IS absolutely validity to small pieces of these arguments that the “left” have not offered young men the kind of guidance they need, while the right have done a great job providing them with tantalizing bogeymen. But the argument sin this post are more of the same tired perpetuation of a false Left/Right culture war argument that is generally levied by people like Rogan, Peterson, Crowder, Carlson, etc. They tell these lost young men it’s some nefarious leftist plot to take away their manhood or whatever. The left’s failure is to not have a could counter to that. But creating “their own joe rogan” is nonsense because that’s just saying “they need their own version manipulating lies”.

What the “Left” needs to do is be able to able to not blame young men for falling for that nonsense, but to recognize there it is filling a wanted gap among that demographic to have certain archetypes.

“Doesn’t seem to be qorking?”

It’s a statement of fact. Rogan’s politics are clearly far right. This isn’t even debatable unless you’ve fallen for the lie that his views somehow represent the “middle” because he at times gives token criticism of some Republicans, too.

Only because Bernie was pushed on useful idiots as a useful vote-splitter that benefitted Trump

“Could”??

the answer is “yes, of course.”

Doubtful. They might tell a pollster that but there’s a big gap between that and making actual changes and even sacrifices in terms of purchasing decisions.
