It is the weirdest thing ever to open this app and see my rl name in the headlines.

This is the only other news source that reported on the summit.

Transgender rights in Canada, including procedures for changing legal gender and protections from discrimination, vary among provinces and territories, due to Canada's nature as a federal state (but no one an be banned or discriminated against for changing their gender.)

Bill C-16, which passed in June 2017, added the words "gender identity and expression" in three instances. These words were added to the Canadian Human Rights Act as prohibited grounds for discrimination, and to the Criminal Code in two sections, the first dealing with hate speech and hate incitement and the second regarding sentencing for hate crimes.

The first PM to do this was Mulroney with Reagan (and his -nomics bs that's led us to this hellscape).

If we had been smarter back then we never would have elected that idjit in the first place. All he did was follow Reagan around like a lap dog.

Iirc that's a federal law, so provinces can't fuck with it.

I'd be blaming Reaganomics more than Biden, because that's where this shitstorm started.

Poor Moe. Neglecting to pay attention for the last 10 years to climate change and the role O&G plays in that has caught him offguard. 🙄

Hellberta importing American mistrust.

Years ago my stepmother miscarried my brother's fraternal twin in the toilet, and the only reason she knew to scoop it out of the toilet was because she was a nurse.

Nobody teaches women this is what should be done (so the tissue can be tested to check for reasons behind the miscarriage).

Blaming women for not doing it is as stupid as jailing women for it happening in the first place.

V O T E like your lives depend on it, because they do.

Opportunity, yes. Moral wherewithal, maybe.

I couldn't care less if anybody stares at me. I will wear a mask if I deem it necessary ... and if any asshole wants to challenge me on that, they will find that this old broad has zero patience with idjits.

The city’s police chief, Robert Glenny Jr., said he contacted the college after hearing news reports and was told the victim chose to handle the matter through the college’s internal process, despite college officials encouraging the person to take the matter to police, WGAL-TV reported.

The taxpayer dollars that are “coming out of the public system and going into the pockets of private agencies is very concerning,” Dr. Almost said. “Think about what could be done with $1.5-billion. It could be used to provide better care. It could be used to actually retain nurses.”

The trailer article doesn't specifically say which police force owned the trailer of guns, and the RCMP doesn't take care of any policing in Ontario (except policing on federal gov't grounds) because that's done by the OPP.

Who was there first?

Racist colonizers acting like they're still living in colonial times.

Assholes gotta asshole.

TIL.

Now I gotta talk to my landlord about registering for it.

Thanks for saying something about it. :)

In total, 122 handguns, 55 shotguns, 23 rifles, three submachine-guns and two machine-guns have been reported lost by RCMP detachments across the country since 2020.

The data was obtained and shared exclusively with CTVNews.ca by Matt Malone, a government secrecy researcher and scholar with the Balsillie School of International Affairs in Waterloo, Ont. Malone is also the founder of Open by Default, a digital database that contains more than 5.2 million pages of documents released through Canada's access to information system.

In its response to Malone, the RCMP's access to information office said it "cannot determine specifically if a firearm was lost by a service member."

Just watched 60 Minutes with Lina and Lesley Stahl. Lina is brilliant and doesn't back down from a fight.

If you get a chance to watch, it's well worth your time.
