True. Things have gotten worse, though. I remember being fairly shocked by the first Harper campaign, the depths they went to amplify anger towards the Liberal party. To be fair, the Liberals had it coming and needed to be replaced, but they needed to be replaced by the Tories, not the Reform party (which is what the Conservative party was and is)

Maybe they'll put up a nice memorial in Tel Aviv like the Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas in Berlin.

Ubuntu, after the third consecutive release that broke previously working hardware. That was a while ago and I haven't tried it recently, but given snap I'm not really inclined to.

I'm sorry I can only give you the one upvote. I find myself in the same situation.

Nobody is 'poised' to do anything. The next election doesn't need to happen until the back end of 2025. Thats more than enough time for the Liberals to do what they do best and convince everyone that, bad as they are, they're the only safe choice.

Most Ontarians didn't bother voting in the last provincial election. Evidently most of them don't actually care who runs their province or what the province's role is.

They could've elected Lesley Knope from Parks and Rec, or they could've elected an obscure Jim Henson Muppet, but instead they elected Peter Griffin. None were great choices but only one was an actual moron and that's who they picked.

Maybe some day the Liberals or NDP will field someone with enough personality to get Ontario to care enough to vote.

Anyway, your post sent me off on a tangent, but if you couldn't guess, I'm in complete agreement.

We are expected to believe the accountability comes at the next (first past the post) election lol

"If looks could kill it would've been us instead of [them]"

You can say the people in Gaza would be the ones doing genocide if they were able. But they aren't. In this reality, Israel is the one actually doing the genocide. So that is what the world has to deal with.

And who is Israel going to nuke? It's their neighbours that hate them most, so that won't work out great for Israel. And their neighbours hate them now more than ever thanks to bibi the warlord.

$10/day daycare will be a game changer, once there are enough spots. There are waitlists for the waitlists, where I live.

Not saying that's the Fed's fault. Just that in some places, lots of people aren't seeing the benefit yet. And the angry representative of the fields south of Ottawa will happily tell us it's due to a lack of federal planning.

Electoral reform was an election promise and nothing more.

"But it is foundational for Canada to stand up for people's rights, for people's safety, and for the rule of law. And that's what we're going to do."

Except when the local Indigenous population tries to prevent resource extraction on their land, but nevermind that.

It took me a while but I let the ombud know that, imho, CBC stories shouldn't link to ANY commercial social media networks, and that, while this may have been acceptable in the early days of social media in order to promote the use of a new medium (if not the companies behind it) these particular companies have shown themselves to be poor stewards of their users data as well as having little concern for the accuracy of the 'news' that appears on their platform. Further, a public broadcaster should not endorse particular commercial brands when there are public, non-commercial alternatives .

So thanks for the link and the prompting!

CBC still endorses X as a platform to post their stories, though. Maybe one day soon we won't even see his bastardized X11 logo on there.

Which wasn't necessarily a disaster, when the two of them were different shades of small-L liberal. Now we get to bounce between neoconservative douchebags and neoliberal douchebags and we get the worst of both worlds.

Fair point: Mine was a low effort post. However, the gist of it was to express cynicism about government reporting.

(also, for the record, the last residential school closed in 1997, not the 70s. Off topic, but I am not at all a fan of Canada.)

I didn't say that Canada is immune to bigotry or genocide. I even made reference to the genocide that Canada committed, and I would talk at length about it, if it werent off topic.

But Canada is a moderate enough country that -- again -- I doubt a song with such dehumanizing lyrics against a group of people would ever be a hit in modern Canada. Nothing about my statement claims there is no bigotry or genocide in Canada. It is more of a statement of just how much bigotry and acceptance of genocide there must be in Israel for a song like "Charbu Darbu" to be a #1 hit.

What you are saying is the US vetoed it because they accept the false dichotomy in the Israeli narrative of the situation.

Hamas is nothing compared to Israel's military. If Hamas's goal is the destruction of Israel, then this has been their most effective campaign by far. I, too, didn't think much about Israel one way or the other but this conflict has opened my eyes.

Boycotting Israeli products is one of the only things you can do, since the US government seems complicit.
