Canadians that live in Vancouver and Toronto do this a lot for various films set in "American City, USA":

Sometimes we Canadians overlook ourselves, too...

Just as one example: the National Film Board making and promoting Canadian films just seem like some art-school hobbyists in comparison to the USA. You see all the big-name Canadian actors ending up in Hollywood blockbuster movies.

There will be no corrective steps.

Okay, noted, thanks. There will never be any corrective steps as long we avoid thinking of any.

I will return to New York, one day. I loved visiting the Big Apple. But not now. Not unless Trump is out of the office, in prison, or both.

Just because random extrajudicial kidnappings by ICE aren't happening to everyone, doesn't mean it can't happen to anyone.

Time to input Jordan Peterson, Preston Manning, Kevin O'Leary, Elon Musk in the form just for fun?

Props to Rachel Gilmore for signal-boosting these links

Any Canadian connection to the worst acts the Trump administration is conducting should be brought to light and severed.

Poilievre calls to form a new group:

There was a Québec games celebration event on Steam. I have a friend who makes games as both a hobby and also a living (freelancing contracts from a larger developer).

• dotcom crash
• subprime mortgage crisis
• covid crisis

It's funny how the Trump administration has "facilitated" the enforcement of Trump's Executive Order edicts through numerous attempts to withhold funding, but have not got around to even mentioning the funding of Garcia's internment, when it comes to following the court's orders.

This is assuming you are expected by your council to clean it "thoroughly enough".

After you eat/drink the contents, a very quick rinse is all that's needed. Little stains aren't going to be bad for recycling.

If you've left it for a while and are worried, a simple but surefire way to clean out any significant gunk would be these steps:

• Make sure you have a strainer on your sink drain if your plumbing system is fragile.
• Fill every can or jar with water to near the top
• Wait 15 minutes
• pour out a can into the sink
• fill the can with a bit of water and shake the last bits out
• pour and lightly rinse the rest of the cans in the same way
• bin the gunk caught by the strainer.

On the high seas of memes, memes being stolen or remixed ups your "upload ratio". You should feel proud. (For you stealing this one, I will look the other way this time, leech 😅)

From a layperson's POV, this will seem to require years of untangling the law to properly give LGBTQ+ people their due rights under the law that is in theory afforded to everyone. This is a setback for immediate protections, but my view is that this isn't necessarily bad in the long term, so long as corrective steps are taken to address the root issue.

UK law has been written and interpreted over hundreds of years with various historical understandings of personhood throughout that time. At one point basically only men were people, so laws were only referring to them. After the affirmation of women's rights and suffrage, should we have just said: women are "men" for every intent and purpose, and just not bothered to update the law and keep using "men" everywhere thereafter? It seems similar to me that tacking trans people's rights on by making the definitions more ambiguous is fine early on, but at some point should be codified better in law, to give equal right to trans men, trans women and non-binary folks as to cisgender folks. Ignoring the difference of gender vs. sex under the law entirely, would leave gaps in serving trans and nonbinary people's unmet needs as well. None of this will happen on its own, so allies of LGBTQ+ people ought to contact their MP to make it happen.

I'm not oblivious to the harm to both women and transgender people that this ruling will bring upon the UK, but it should spur on actually solving the issues on codifying gender and sex under the law, rather than relying on half-solutions or temporary solutions.

I'd happily be educated on this topic.

The Trump admin has been acting in bad faith and with wilful disregard towards justice in America for 86 days and counting.

Can we marshal Marshal Marshall yet, Marshall?

I had learned it from watching Carney's campaign speech, but here's the CBC write-up.

Key elements regarding America include upping resources for CBSA to stem the flow of illegal guns and drugs, having the RCMP classify new models of guns rather than manufacturers themselves, and increasing funding for RCMP ballistics labs to help trace the source of guns used in violent crime.

Glad to see Canadians' actions having a tangible impact.

Depends on where what and how. "Plastics" is a broad category after all.

Here's a program report from British Columbia, Canada, with multi-stream recycling and a deposit program: PDF

Refundable deposit systems do help with getting bottles and cans properly sorted out and recycled. (Germany does it better making single use plastic bottles a higher deposit than bottles that can be reused).

Just soya know, OP edited in the archive link that you don't have to open, 20 minutes before you posted your comment. Have a nice day.
