  1. Mount Royal really isn’t a university. It has that in its name, but it is basically a lunatic left wing kindergarten. That’s where Nenshi comes from which should explain all you need to know.

    1. Back in the day Mount Royal and Grant McEwan were colleges that people too stupid to get into universities attended. Then one day they granted degrees and another day were called universities.

      1. We can thank the Lougheed PCs for that.

        Here in Alberta, it’s the government that actually bestows degrees. It’s the post-secondary institutions that provide the education and grants them on the government’s behalf. At least that’s what I remember from my Ph. D. convocation ceremony.

        Some 40 years ago, smaller colleges wanted to become degree-granting institutions and they convinced the government to change the existing legislation to make it possible. After that, just about everybody and his dog could become a university, though, in some cases, they had to change their names to reflect their new status.

        It didn’t always have a good effect. For example, the old Camrose Lutheran College mutated into Augustana University College and started cranking out pieces of paper. Some of the departments weren’t accredited, so the worth of those degrees was questionable. Eventually Augustana became over-ambitious, running itself into the ground and, from what I heard, was sold to the University of Alberta for the token dollar.

  2. There IS a spot for ‘dr’ manygums on the real-world usefulness/relevance hierarchy, but I doubt she’d be very happy with her assigned place on it…

    “Foist deys comes for de capital letters and wese did nothing. Den …”

    Nuffin!!! Ain’t we tott yew nuffin at all???

  4. She is more fucking white than anything. Makes me laugh. Most of the so called natives have more white genetics than native. Been a lot of Whitemen in the Indian woodpile.

  5. More vacuous pap from people with nothing significant to complain about.
    And I’m changing my name to Manyguns because it’s a bitchin’ name.

  6. This is where taxpayer funded post-secondary ‘education’ gets you. An ‘educated’ and, my personal favorite, ‘enlightened’ bunch of elitists that have nothing but contempt for those they’ve blatantly taken advantage of to obtain their esteemed positions. What they don’t realize is that it’s only people in their bubble that give them any credibility whatsoever; those in the real world see them as the useless leeches that they really are. The fact that enterprises like twatter hold them up as virtuous is proof of this.

  7. In literature and online conversations in BDSM and other communities, the lack of capitalisation designates a slave.

    So she’s telling us she’s a slave?

  8. In somewhat related news, the CBC reports on a indian smashing a egg on Max Bernier’s head today. Lots of outrage when Blackie is harassed but media silence when Max is physically attacked.

  9. Since “Dr.” or even “dr” is clearly hierarchical, I’d like to offer “ms linda fuckface” as a new name.

    Sorry, I meant manyguns of course. That just slipped out somehow.
