Looks like: trees and cooling centres. And better municipal planning.

Did I miss anything?

Welp, I know what I'm reading next. Thanks!

But I've read it is not on their plans, as it is a hack done by others on top of Lemmy, due to a lack of official support from Lemmy itself

I assumed it was part of Lemmy. Too bad it isn't integrated into the platform. I hear piefed may have keyword blocking, so maybe that's worth looking into.

Basically, "anything bad makes you a non-citizen"

In Canada, a permanent resident isn't a citizen - their residency can be legally revoked at any time. Is it the same in the US?

Block the word "Trump" and block communities you don't like. It's remarkably effective.

$5m to bring in ten doctors over five years? I hope they have other programs bringing in new physicians as well.

Aspirational, even.

As another Lemmite mentioned elsewhere.

Thanks for posting it.

If you feel it deserves a larger audience, please post a summary of it, relevant quotes, or something else so lazy casual readers (like me) can decide if they're interested in following the link.

1. I haven't seen a built in picker for multi-character emojis, like the ¯(ツ)/¯ (on OSX and Android)
2. Sometimes the description I'm thinking of and the picker text doesn't line up, but I'm not sure if Google's picker will be that smart.

🤷‍♂️

It's a fun movie. Maybe not a great movie, but fun to watch. My family doesn't play TTRPGs, but they liked it too.

“Governments at all levels are failing to make the connection between the lack of federal enforcement and the unprecedented conditions facing our local communities,” MacLeod said. “We’ve never had more homeless people or people with psychiatric problems. There have never been more illegal drugs on our streets. Why? It can all be traced back to the impact of international crime, including organized commercial crime, drug trafficking, and money laundering. The federal government is largely responsible. The RCMP is tasked with the responsibility of federal law enforcement, but federal policing enforcement has not kept pace. Instead, we see more and more of our federal policing dollars being invested into a fundamentally flawed structure where the RCMP is stretched well beyond its primary mandate.”

There's a lot of really interesting stuff in this article. Thanks for posting it.

Other categories may include

• "suicidal",
• "enraged",
• "planning class warfare",
• "gave up, now living under a bridge",
• "feeling pretty good about that house I bought in 2002", and
• "my REITs are doing pretty well, thank you".

Fine by me, but much of the op-ed refers to the housing crisis.

The housing crisis has been brought on by middle class tax policy, a lack of public housing construction, NIMBYism, financialization of housing (significantly by the middle class, although REITs have been getting involved recently), poorly planned immigration/international student policies, and the decline of skilled/unskilled trades (probably related to education, minimum wage, and tax policy). You can also add shitty transit/city planning to that mix, if you're in to that kind of thing.

It would be fair to tax the rich more, and it would probably make sense to tax gainz on housing/real estate more aggressively. However, there is a massive failure of planning at all levels of Canadian government won't be solved through simple adjustments to personal taxation.

Yew got that right

People need to internalize this. Generally speaking, nobody who has a choice wants our old crap.

WHY ARE YOU SAD? THIS IS WHAT MOMMY MIC WANTS! YOU DON'T WANT LOCKMART TO STARVE, DO YOU?

Why won't you think of the shareholders?

I fully expect that to make a comeback in the aftermath of the climate wars.

too real
