Not gonna watch this but can Mark please take "Daddy" to the seniors' home already, and keep him there?

Get angry, but not irrationally.

Give the Carney government and MPs grace by telling them about what change you want to see.

I still have some faith that Carney is smarter than most politicians, that if there is a popular push for more progressive reforms, he would go along with it.

If opposition is limited to "I'm angry that you canceled the DST! I'm angry that you passed Bill 5!" that can be passed off as too vague of a criticism and doesn't really suggest a suitable alternative direction. Carney did a bunch of right wing stuff because they were confident they would get overwhelming house support, he would have something concrete to show for his first two months in this term. The NDP are kind of disarray and the party apparatus lost touch with local, grassroots campaigns that got people to support them. Even former NDP MP Charlie Angus would say as much.

Strictly based on where the jagged points are and where the strokes end, I would say the word written was uůẃnwu.

Go Councillor! Go Fediverse!

Good reporters only talk about how Trump is such a gweat wittle pwesident.

Good catch, seems like an oversight.

Even if I would agree with your principles, this kind of comment is what is tiring for moderators to deal with at scale.

Hey Republicans, to fix this issue, build a bunch of wind turbine power generators to blow the smoke away.

At this point, it should be clear that mirroring the US's stance won't get Canada any benefits anymore. So we should just drop the appeasement and speak for world order instead of for genocide.

Can we please have a source for the YSK statement you made in the title and the graph?

I have seen data on not having kids being the biggest choice a person can make to prevent future emissions. You also didn't mention flying less often, or not flying when a reasonable alternative exists. What is the relative impact of all of these things compared to dietary changes? Numbers on that would be helpful.

This [public service cuts, government financial austerity and all the other stuff in the first bunch of paragraphs] is a descent into fascism. By defunding the state and over-funding the military, Canada is careening towards disaster. And unsurprisingly, the voices that are paid by the corporate class, are cheering this descent on.

Come on, let's get specific. Call out our fascism where the descent into fascism is happening under Carney's government: Bill C-2, Trump ass-kissing, parts of Bill C-5.

I am diametrically opposed to wanton public service cuts, but let's be targeted and accurate at what we are calling the descent to fascism.

Sure. That is assuming that someone is available on the LibreOffice side to support the ministry for a particular amount, and that the policy related to government procedures can be followed under this agreement.

They could spend 1~2% of the cost of their microsoft licenses to create their own plugins/development to make the UI more usable for their applications and workers, rather than relying on Microsoft themselves or creating plugins on outdated and proprietary frameworks.

Interesting how "top US official" now implies some idiot Trump blowhard more often than a competent experienced leader.

Senator Rafael 'Cancún' Cruz running away from his constituents during weather crises? Well, I never!

If you nationalize your industry, you should be doing it to reform and re-gear it to support your country.

Clearly, Putin here is not interested in making it good for the country, but that his petty war has him cash-strapped and needs to forcibly 'borrow' his billionaire friends' assets.

They are not universal but reasonably popular in Canada.

The chaos of living outside, she said — marked by violence, sexual assault, sleeplessness, and lack of housing and health care — can make it nearly impossible to get sober.

This is my point when it comes to people who wonder why homeless people can't just "stop using drugs, tobacco and alcohol".

I challenge anyone who thinks that to try being outside for a week, with one set of clothes, sleeping on benches, and trying to find food supports and shelter without a phone. And then tell us to our face how easy it is to do without drugs.

This only shows me that Americans are bad at guessing.

Somewhat reasonable take from former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole. Mainly because I juxtapose it against the current Conservative opposition which seems to be incapable of anything but squawking "Y no budget? Oil project when?"
