The small Saskatchewan town of Tisdale is taking another look at the slogan it has used for 60 years — "Land of Rape and Honey". "Rape" in the slogan refers to rapeseed, which has a number of varieties, including canola.

What do you think? Should the town keep its slogan or change it?

It's kinda iconic. I'd say keep it as long as the town is dieting fine and doesn't have a rape problem. I doubt this encourages it

Just one small change will do: just add seed to it and it will become "land of rapeseed and honey".

Or maybe "land of rapeseed and honeybees".

But wait, here's an idea: not every sexual assault victim has PTSD. So, why bother changing anything at all?! How about that, huh?!!

I'd say keep it.
The word'll lose its meaning sooner or later again anyways and you'll have ditched a good slogan for nothing.

And if people get offended over this and crap then they should probably take a lesson in realising the world doesn't revolve around their view of it, even if they do have PTSD that seems like a more useful approach than trying to have the world not offend their fantasy view / trigger their nightmare view on it.

the question isn't "should tisdale keep its slogan 'land of rape and honey' or not" the question is "why is cbc running an article on this question at all?"

it sounds to me like the reason for bringing the slogan up for a vote is because most of the industry has moved away from rape and honey and that they want to boost local businesses by changing the name to something more relevant

yet the way cbc makes it look is that the reason for the change is because ponies are offended by the word "rape"

cbc says "upset some people," - note the use of the word "some" - a classic fallacy - did they bother to interview anypony? i think not

yet somehow this cbc reporter continues to take these fantasy-people and give them the voice that he/she thinks that they should have: "who point out that, fair or not, it evokes sexual assault"

who pointed that out? it looks like "some people" pointed that out. who is "some people?" the article doesn't say, so we can only assume it is the reporter him or herself

the reporter works for cbc, a part of the government and corporate-controlled mass media (as all news companies ending in "bc" are) - who are messengers of none other than the Illuminati

That's right. Take it all in.

What first appears to be nothing more than a cute little article about mis-association is actually a part of a cleverly-designed plot to brainwash you and everypony you love and care about into being 1.) Stupider (less words = less coherent thoughts = more compliant ponies.) 2.) More politically-correct = more compliant ponies 3.) Take over the world.

That's right. Take over the world.

The Illuminati wants to take over the world.

And everypony who has posted in this thread thinking that little article was about some town in the middle of nowhere has unwittingly become a victim of their horrible plot to spread discord and disharmony far and wide for nothing more than the sheer fun of it

Wake up, sheeple. This may be your last chance before you become a complete and total zombie.

Don't expect me to redpill you again.
