“Or why, exactly, taxpayers should be funding articles that scold Canadians for using words such as “brainstorm” and “lame.””

Brainstorm? Really?
This reminds me of a road trip to Calgary when my buddy in the back, who definitely did not have vodka mixed in the Tropicana he was drinking, sudden said
“What the f***???”

“What the f***???”
That is when we realized we were driving near the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Fort Macleod, AB called
‘Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump’
I feel like they should have canceled that one before they got to ‘brainstorm’, no?
“The buffalo jump was used for 5,500 years by the indigenous peoples of the plains to kill bison by driving them off the 11 metre (36 foot) high cliff.”
Obviously, it’s indigenous so it really cannot be offensive because of diversity and stuff, even though it was fairly shocking to a car full of frat guys who then spent the next two hours coming up with fake names for Canadian towns we drove through like ‘Blunt-Force-To-Groin Tractorsville’.
It’s all about pandering to black Progressives. They are anti-brain about everything; Get rid of test scores (so you can’t see how bad blacks are doing); Competition of any sort is bad (because blacks don’t fare well); insist on quotas to the detriment of all other races (because that’s the only way blacks can get in anywhere); and just keep pandering to the black community. That’s precisely what Joe Biden did in his Atlanta speech yesterday in front of a black audience- he accused at least half or more of the country of being ‘racist’ if they didn’t pass his voting bill. This is coercion at the highest level. Rather despicable that.
In my experience this is more what white progressives advocate for on behalf of black people rather than what black people themselves are advocating for. Similar to luxury beliefs like "defund the police." You find me one inner city black person who agrees with that sentiment.
I recall watching, in the mid 90s, a young white liberal woman lamenting the plight of homosexuals and black people as if they were a single category.
The response from fellow, and black, student was pretty revealing.
Short version was stfu and get off "our side." The young man had very definite ideas about this phenomenon. Though this observation is anecdotal it may have merit, the majority of those white progressives I witnessed advocating (unasked) on behalf of black people were very well educated women from well heeled families. About as remote from the object of their concern as could be. Although not squarely analogous it still reminds me of what Dickens called telescopic philanthropy, plus, I really love the term so I'm gonna use it. 😉
I dont think its black progs at all. Most black people are either apolitical, inactive politically, tied to the local community or church and the issues there, or...media stars and profs like Joy Reid, Ibrahim X Kendi, who survive not on black prog money, but on white prog money. Black progressives are not all that different from the white Karen's on your school board, and the ballerina bun wearing Brooklyn beta boys in skinny jeans who still think Hillary lost cuz of Putin.

Yes, "brainstorm". Its offensive to the lobotomized.
Why? Haven't their brains been stormed? ;)

It's progressives alright, but in my experience, it's almost always white progressives speaking for black folk.

"ballerina bun wearing Brooklyn beta boys" Now, THAT's alliteration--well done! Of course, Agnew's "nattering nabobs of negativism" stands alone...
I don't get "brainstorming," either. And I'm not going to look it up, because I will lose what little IQ I have left. Lame ....
I bet they got together to brainstorm how to make ‘brainstorm’ offensive.
KD...that's really "Lam en it".
