  • yes and no.

    homeless are a symptom of many things. healthcare. lack of rentals. lack of employment. lack of social services.

    but what is known is that there has been a huge increase in the rate of population growth in Canada in the last several years, along with a decrease in natural population increases (lowering birth rate) and a massive increase in immigration. While housing is an issue, there were never enough spare beds for the increase, and never could be, in the time frame they were required.

    So, to put it another way: no.

  • pop quiz: what happens when Israel is defenseless?

    answer: the Arab neighbours who have been Borat-like in their anti-Semitism move in and do exactly what they say they will do for decades.

    pop quiz: is there another way without wiping out another people?

    answer: yes. change Israel's government.

  • I think you need to find out what kind of connection you actually have. I mean, it's unlikely you've got a dedicated ethernet cable to the ISP.

    Where does that ethernet line actually go?

    Have you run some basic traceroutes, at least?

  • "..were attacked on Saturday night by a group of 7-10+ middle eastern men, believed to be from Syria, aged 18-25"

    from the FB post linked here

    I know Canada has had a huge immigration influx, which is blamed for the housing situation, and a few other things.

    I'm a little concerned that this hate crime (because that's what it was, really) will lead to more. As in, against brown immigrants in general. I mean, this sort of event feeds directly into the conservative red-neck narrative, made worse by actually being true.

    What I can guess is that part of the reason no charges were immediately brought up is that immigration might be coming in. But that's just an uninformed guess.

    In any case, absolutely tragic. Those women didn't deserve any of this.

  • FS is a weird one. Did you know he didn't know that online coupons existed? like, at all? It started in a topic about Domino's pizza (yes, he never knew Domino's Pizza had coupons), and turns out it expanded to anything online, as he listed a bunch of websites that he was certain, just like Domino's, didn't have coupons. I'm not discrediting everything about him, but between this "privacy shouldn't exist" stance and "everyone else is at fault for me never knowing that coupons existed on the internet", I'm starting to wonder.
