What difference does it make if it’s purely superficial thought? There’s still massive differences in lifestyle and privilege based on who’s vagina you came out of… just putting lipstick on a pig to SAY that everyone is equal.
Ie: Sikh faith says to treat women equal but in practice/reality they most definitely are not treated equal, not even close.

It's culture vs religion. Just like many so called Christians many Sikhs don't don't follow the religion 100%. But many also do.
The Sikh Gurus sought to abolish the Indian caste system that assigned value and rights to individuals based on the families they were born into. As part of the movement to end caste discrimination and promote equality among all humans, followers of Sikhism were encouraged to adopt common last names, leaving no identifiable differences between individuals from rich or poor backgrounds. Men were instructed to adopt the last name Singh, meaning lion, and women were encouraged to use Kaur, meaning princess. The use of Kaur, as opposed to adopting family names in marriage, promotes women as individuals with value and identities existing independently of their relationships with men.
So which of y'all lucky bastard's got the day off to mourn
Not me, I asked my boss if I could have it off to mourn the only queen I've ever known but he just laughed and said absolutely not. My wife has it off but she's in her home office working from home anyway? Weird....

no day off, no OT, nothing. Just worked like a normal day.
Between this new stat and the truth and reconciliation day, perhaps a discussion needs to be had on how many vacations the feds can just give themselves. In no time they will basically be working 4 days a week, fucking assholes.

Lol. A lot of the friends I know who work for the Fed government are already on 4 or 4.5 day scheds.
And here is our drama teacher showing a tremendous amount of situational awareness, and showing the world how much respect he -- on behalf of Canadians -- has for the passing of the Queen:
And this is a prime example of how different the Queen conveys herself to the public compared to our sorry-a$$ "leader". I can't ever remember a single time when the Queen has been caught red-handed disrespecting her country in public even though you know she obviously has her preferences. Two of the most recent examples that I can think of were the time when the Queen hosted Trump in the UK, and her supposed quarrels with Harry / Meghan. It just goes to show how serious she (and by comparison, drama teacher boy) takes her jobs as the public face of her nation.

The bitch was in her lat 70's what did you want her to do punch trump?
I have no issues with that, he's human after all. Wasn't trump chugging bleach or horse dewormer and the conservative pp telling people to buy bitcoin to hedge against inflation, fire the bank of Canada
There is nothing wrong with having a cool PM, but there is a time and a place for that, and when he is out of the country on official business to mourn / pay respects / celebrate the life of the Queen, he needs to be more stately.

Trump is obviously the best example of what not to do / how not to act in a stately manner. And he has been cricitized left right and center for it while he was in office.
Looks like it's night time at his hotel. So the PM isn't allowed to have any downtime at all? What is he supposed to do? Prostrate himself over her grave and sob uncontrollably like a North Korean 24/7?
Get a grip. There's plenty to hate and make fun of the guy for, this isn't one of them.
