  • Canada finally reveals the results of its universal basic income experiment

    Jump

  • Show your work, please. I'm pretty sure it's closer to 25-30%.

    Edit: confirmed. I did the math. It's closer to 35% for most people. Including income tax, sales tax, and property tax.

  • What was the last image you saved from the internet?

  • Trump bullied Canada over ‘digital taxes’ – and Ottawa submitted

  • Hard agree. But it's a function of FPTP. If we had a better voting system (like Trudeau promised!) then a lot more people could vote their conscience instead of doing strategic voting. But until then, voting strategically is often the best move.

  • Which do you prefer, democracy or dictatorship?

    Jump

  • Online spaces are limitless, basically. If you don't like living under someone else's rules it's dead easy to spin up your own space with your own rules. The dictatorship-ness of these virtual spaces keeps then semi-civil and on-topic. Ideally, at least. We are talking spherical cows here, obvs.

    Real life spaces, not so easy to spin up your own country. So we have to use a political system that (on paper, at least) caters to the majority without stepping on the minorities too much.

  • I agree. NPD was the right choice. It's just not the choice enough Canadians were going to make. Which sucks. Hard.

    Jump

  • Ya. I don't disagree. The system has been broken by foreign owned media, social media, and late stage capitalism.

  • Which do you prefer, democracy or dictatorship?

    Jump

  • Online? Dictatorship. Let the guidelines be clear and the conversations civil and on topic. If my speech isn't wanted in a particular community I can find another, or make another where I'm the dictator.

    IRL? Democracy. It sucks, but it's better than everything else. I do, however, wish there were better laws forcing media to be locally owned, and bound to be truthful. And some way to keep late stage capitalism's hand off the scales.

  • To be fair, we had to vote for the banker cuz the only realistic alternative was a nazi-handshaking maple maga moron. We picked the best of the shitty options.

    I would have LOVED to see Jagmeet in the big chair, but too much of Canada is too racist to vote for someone in a turban, and the rest were going to vote for PP.

    So ya. Cheney is a fucking banker. But he's better in every way than PP.

  • I require nothing more

    Jump

  • Not nearly enough screens.

  • Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy?

    Jump

  • I've tried botw 4 times now. It's the whole reason I bought a switch. It bores the living fuck out of me every time I play.

    I know a lot of people love it, and you might too. But I've never been able to play more than 3-4 hours in without being bored off my ass and going to play something else instead.

  • Republicans test new red line: Denaturalization

    Jump

  • Satan IS woke! He wants you to have knowledge and think for yourself! He wants you to be a responsible adult and live your best life. All God wants is blind obedience, and to suffer in this life in order to spent eternity locking his feet in the afterlife.

  • ‘We have all the cards’: Trump ending all trade talks with Canada ‘immediately’ over digital services tax - CTV News

    Jump

  • American "dairy" doesn't usually qualify as food under Canadian law. Too many steroids and antibiotics.

  • Government condemns Glastonbury chants aired live on BBC

    Jump

  • 100% truth. It's the same intergenerational trauma causing this, and that this is causing.

    Isreal had a unique opportunity to "turn the other cheek" and be a good neighbour, even while Palestine was fighting them, and they instead choose the evil path.

  • me_irl

    Jump

  • Omg! That's the answer! I need to change to a 1-976-xxx-xxxx number. $1 to call, and an additional $1/min.

  • Iran Strikes Back

    Jump

  • Ya, this is one of those times where I'm hoping they both lose. Both leaders houses and their entire cabinets get bombed to rubble while the innocent civilians evade all damage.

  • Iran Says Air Defenses Down 2 Israeli Warplanes, Female Pilot Captured

    Jump

  • Really hope we go with the Gripens instead.

  • Poll: Large majority of Canadians favour more open car market with better access to affordable Chinese and European EVs

    Jump

  • Ya, very hard to boycott the Orange turd with the currently available cars.

    If you buy VERY SPECIFIC Honda or Toyota models you can get one that's made in Japan. Or made in Canada with /mostly/ Canadian parts. But they're all north of $60k.

  • Why more youth are landing in the ER with vomiting from cannabis use

  • Gonna be really close to zero.

  • What's the worst rated film that you love?

  • It's so damn great!
