The leaders of two conservative Canadian provinces are calling Ottawa to eliminate the oil and gas emissions cap, allow oil tankers on the West Coast, and end the designation of plastics as toxic

    More than 10,000 evacuees are being supported by the Red Cross and 860 are being supported by the SPSA (Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency).

    About 15,000 have fled Saskatchewan wildfires and more coming: Premier Moe

    Moe said he has spoken with his provincial counterparts, as well as Prime Minister Mark Carney, and was told that resources would be made available to battle the fires that continue to affect more than 30 communities.

  • Trade watchers have always suspected Canada was holding on to the DST mainly for negotiating purposes. It was something generally positive for Canada that could nonetheless plausibly be negotiated away for some meaningful purpose, perhaps in the planned six-year review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) that replaced NAFTA under the first Trump presidency. Prime Minister Carney admitted this was the plan in a press scrum today (June 30).

    I'm really hoping they played this card right. It doesn't feel like they did, but I hope Carney is playing on a level we don't get.

    • TIL companies can still discriminate against people born out of wedlock or if their parents divorce

  • You're basically just proving my point. The first half is "irrelevant", as you said, or "unrelated", as I said. You're filling in gaps from the first half to the second half.

    The post goes (paraphrased): It seems like an oversight to not have this feature of having individuals in multiple households. It got me thinking. Companies can choose not to hire you if your parents weren't married.

    You've filled in the "it got me thinking" with "....they encountered this issue with a minor thing, started reading up on it online, and when digging into that kind of stuff ended up reading on what the legal situation is...."

    That's exactly what I said is the mental gymnastics in response to OP's question, and you're filing it in like they actually explained it.

    • TIL companies can still discriminate against people born out of wedlock or if their parents divorce

    Jump

  • Yeah, it feels like a big leap to go from the first part to the second. Like, how are they related? Hence, mental gymnastics.

    • TIL companies can still discriminate against people born out of wedlock or if their parents divorce

    Jump

  • But how many are going to want this feature? I'm betting the number of people who use the one household feature is already relatively small. And, that barely works properly as it is.

    • TIL companies can still discriminate against people born out of wedlock or if their parents divorce

    Jump

  • I'm not the one you asked, but: They're not discriminating, they have a feature that allows a group, maybe a household, to be managed together and share features. Going from "they don't support this niche feature" to "they're discriminating against me" is the mental gymnastics.

No new Canadian hotline has been created for LGBTQ+ Americans.
