This is important reading for those interested in Canadian immigration policy:
- Big cuts to housing support for asylum-seekers (to be paid by municipalities, or many more people will be homeless)
- Big cuts to medical care for asylum-seekers (to be paid by asylum-seekers)
- Much more
POV: youre an NDP government but u structure every policy decision to please conservative voters
Innocent Victoria residents: Ah blossoms are out, looks like spring.
Miserable freezing perma-drizzle Victoria winter:
Not nearly as serious but I work with the public and a disappointing number of my interactions have to start with walking customers back from bad information a chatbot has given them.
Easily 5 minutes extra work to figure out what they’re actually trying to do when they used to just… ask.
Surely this windfall will be reinvested into public services for the benefit of every Alberta resident
did u know new sata ssds are mostly empty inside but just the right size for a custom enclosure
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
Tough but fair.
As a parent who has had this conversation, I would like to know what kind of conversation these parents think they’re going to have.
"Radio broadcasting, while valuable for certain limited commercial purposes is perhaps primarily an instrument for the cultivation of public opinion, of education and entertainment. It should make the home not merely a billboard, but a theatre, a concert hall, a club, a public meeting, a school, a university."
Spry and Plaunt arranged for American radio inventor Dr. Lee De Forest to testify in writing. In his statement, he said radio was being debased by advertising and added, "We look to you in Canada to lead radio in North America out of the morass in which it has pitiably sunk. May Canada fulfil my early dream."
Bennett, voicing his worries about the American radio invasion of Canada, told Spry, "It may well be, Graham, that you havecsaved Canada for the British Commonwealth."
"First of all," he said, "this country must be assured of complete Canadian control of broadcasting from Canadian sources, free from foreign broadcasting interference or influence. Without such control radio can never become a great agency for communication of matters of national concern and for the diffusion of national thought and ideals, and without such control it can never be the agency by which national consciousness may be fostered and sustained and national unity still further strengthened. ... No other scheme than that of public ownership can ensure to the people of this country equal enjoyment of the benefits and pleasures of radio broadcasting ... I cannot think that any government would be warranted in leaving the air to private exploitation and not reserving It for development for the use of the people."
Reading about the successful efforts to establish public broadcasting in Canada and damn we need this sort of energy again
I feel like it would just take one Pokémon looking at Pikachu and asking “why doesn’t he need to live in the ball?” to lead to some fuckin changes in that society
This game rules, buy it.

If Carney gave a shit about protecting children or any other Canadians from online harms, he'd start by banning X for creating and distributing CSAM and non-consensual porn.
But he won't even stop posting there.
anyway back to the mystery of male loneliness

Michelle Carter caught a manslaughter charge and 2.5 years for talking a guy into killing himself and I think it’s time the courts started testing the limits of corporate personhood.
Hmm!!
Good news everyone, they invented roller skates again.
I was already mad but now...
Used to be we'd INVEST one hour in the spring and it would "FALL BACK" into our pockets in the winter but now NDP SOCIALISTS are STEALING one hour from us in March and NOT GIVING IT BACK.
WHAT ARE THEY USING OUR HOURS FOR???
SPRING AHEAD......INTO COMMUNISM???
PROBABLY!

Here comes the bad-faith vehicle for transphobia, honk honk
Two figures stand in an alleyway at night in winter. The trees are bare. The houses, stark and angular. A gigantic condo looms behind them, its facade lit up by the moon. Two young women emerge from the dark. A younger one and and an older one. The younger one has long dark hair, she wears a toque and puffy coat. She has rectangular glasses. She lights a cigarette while the older one looks on. The older one has her long dark hair tied in a ponytail. She has a fringe of hair resembling an up arrow. She wears a scarf and black peacoat. She has round glasses. She observes the younger one take a puff. The younger one says "Dad would kill me if he knew I was smoking." The older one implores "pleae let your big sister be a laign influence on you." She turns to look her sister in they and points out "you only turn nineteen once! Celebrate by indulging in newly legal vices!"

This is basically Canada’s statement about Venezuela with some Iran stuff copied in.
Im assuming the PMO just has a doc ready to mailmerge with whatever new crime the US commits any given day.
