It's up to us, since it seems more and more every day that Carney really can't be trusted. Either outright avoid US online services or do NO financial transactions and block all ads.
*edit - Also, I wonder how long it will take Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" to properly bankrupt the US? I hope the US people can do something about him for their own sake, and ours.
Just heard about this. Yay! :D 🙌🏾🎉
What are some things you (either individually for yourself, or that you find true among many little people if you want) find you're particularly good at, but that average height people tend to overlook?
I'd go with either "nasty" or "torturous," depending if you mean the one that's hated or the one doing the hating. But heck, I suppose it could it be both. 😅
Unfortunately, he would probably do well for them at this point, so I wouldn't even cheer for him to be federal party leader.
2010 was too long ago. :')
(Rest in peace, Paul Vasquez. Thanks again for sharing the beautiful sight you saw that day.)
What ad hominem argument? I directly responded to the substance of your comment (specifically the premise that we start with immigration even though your comment contained an acknowledgement that was not the cause of Canada's economic troubles). I said nothing about you directly or your motivations. If you're going to ignore relevant criticism, there's no point continuing this conversation.
So you realize the problem didn't start with immigration, yet that's where you put your focus? The outcry should be against policies that promote exploitation of workers, regardless of where they are from. That by itself would stop any excess immigration equitably, without dehumanizing anyone by going back on our word and treating them like garbage.
No social platform at all is a serious problem. I do think messaging should focus on economics first (since we have precious little mainstream discussion of actual consequences of economic policy in many places, and social issues are cynically exploited by free market-touting establishment types as a distraction), but a party that pretends systemic hierarchies and marginalization don't exist is just mob/majority rule and not truly leftist.
Whatever a hypothetical person accepts happening to people they want to consider "beneath" them, they are also accepting for people they do consider to be like themself. Just a matter of time.
Cool. I just hope your leaders take the hint. Maybe now that they're getting directly threatened they'll show their true colours. Either they stand up for themselves as they see their colleagues start to get attacked (at events or in their own homes), or they cower and come to heel. (Sadly, I have little faith most politicians in most countries these days will do much if it's not their own hides at risk.)
Incidentally, something weird is going on with that list. I'm not sure how the ordering works but much more important, it says only "500,000" for the protests over George Floyd even though one of the references says 15-26 million over the entire course of that movement.
This country is literally made up of immigrants, along with the indigenous peoples of the land. That is reality.
Yes it is, but it's worth acknowledging there is also a fantastic culture that grew out of these places even if they were initially created out of necessity. I remember visiting explicitly mixed bars that had that freer feeling to them, but straight bars never did, and there are probably still plenty of folks around who want to keep the more limited dynamics straight bars have. If there are only straight bars left, that's a huge cultural loss in addition to the loss of a safe space.
At least there are apparently the "Lavi Seks" events and/or gatherings at rock, punk, and techno live shows, but this still really sucks. Cheerful drag shows, a relaxed atmosphere, the confidence to just go ahead and approach new people while being open about who you are? All of that vibrancy gets diminished.
