Lol wut:
"The Bloc QuΓ©bΓ©cois has warned the bill likely would cause the U.S. to acquire the same weapons from other countries."

Like if we don't give the US weapons for genocide they're gonna get these weapons somewhere else.. I hope something was lost in translation because wtf is that argument?!

MPs reject bill to close arms export loophole despite some Liberal support - National | Globalnews.ca NDP MP Jenny Kwan's bill came after the U.S. sought to purchase Canadian weapons for Israel, despite a Canadian ban on exports of various types of weapons to that country.

This shows that Canada was never serious about stopping the flow of weapons to israel.

Help me understand how it's considered democratic for an elected MP to cross party affiliations when the people who voted for that MP voted for them mainly because they were of that party? Like I think if an MP wants to change party affiliation they should just have a byelection with the new party

The Canadian forests have not been a net sink of CO2 for a while now. This has become pretty obvious with the severity of forest fires the last few years. They are burning faster than they are growing.

The City of Toronto approved six-storey units on major roads. But bureaucracy is still killing these projects.

I was so mad about this article, I had to rant about it. I can't believe councillors are still fighting for "neighbourhood character" in 2026.

Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address Amazon is allowing gift senders to choose items from third-party sellers, which could open recipients up to new privacy risks.

A planned change to Amazon means that if people buy items on your wishlist, it could expose your address. Definitely a threat to people who have public wishlists.

A screenshot of an email from Amazon detailing a change of terms for public wishlist, forcing users to allow third party seller products and thus exposing the wishlist owner's address in the purchase process. The change is in effect starting March 25.

⚠️ Heads up, ESPECIALLY to sex workers and activists:

Amazon is changing their public wishlist terms.

Your address will soon be visible to gift purchasers in certain circumstances.

hi. one of the biggest misconceptions about disabled people, especially wheelchair users who need support, is the idea that we are not hygienic or clean because we need support. This is a big reason why a lot of people won't date or engage in intimacy with us, and it is entirely a falsity. kthxbye

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

I pretend I'm ok, but the past few years of ongoing* genocide in Gaza have changed me in ways some of which I'm yet to discover.

*the news have faded but israel is still killing Palestinians in Gaza and the rest of Palestine at a slightly slower but steady rate.

in a lot of disability posts, disabled people (me too!) have said stuff like "I don't want a cure for disability, I want a cure for ableism". But you know what, there are some chronic illnesses and disabilities that are debilitating, and if you need or want a cure, I'm right there for you.
