  • PM Carney says Conservative MP Jeneroux crossing the floor to the Liberals

  • I'm glad we nuked the NDP. Not for this but for a leftist renewal that was impossible under Jagmeet.

  • Petition to add Politico (and Axel Springer media in general) to the banned media list

  • Is there such a list to begin with?

    Also fuck Axel Springer.

  • The article has the wrong thumbnail.

  • Canada must strengthen its China EV deal to protect autoworkers

    Jump

  • Goddamn these numbers make the Chinese subsidies look like an utter joke. Thanks for doing the work! The sockpuppet regularly uses this argument against importing Chinese EVs. Saving this.

    E: Of course the much more interesting conclusion is how much more effectively subsidies can be deployed than what we do.

  • Mamdani Threatens 9.5% Property Tax Increase if Wealth Tax Is Not Passed

    Jump

  • This is how you do it when you're serious about achieving what you promise for your constituents. Use your tools as needed, demand cooperation, when you don't get it, use your tools as leverage. Even if you fail, people see you did what you could and then they're ready to punish whoever stood in your way at the ballot box. This is why the oligarch class is so afraid of Mamdani who's just a mayor.

    I can hear this phrase.

  • Could be the USB controller. I've had pretty terrible USB problems with certain AMD systems. Typically only with high-bandwidth applications, but I know some people have had problems even with peripherals like mice.

  • Ford tells students to not pick 'basket-weaving courses' in wake of OSAP cuts

    Jump

  • What are those in-demand jobs Doug? Software eng was in-demand a few years ago when a shit ton of people went into CS for it. How's that going now? If you're not making any job guarantees, putting more of the burden of market failures on students is not the recipe for economic development you think it is.

  • mastodon age verification

  • Agreed. I imagine this working group would be working in the direcrion of the minimal viable options, including figuring out whether they need to do anything at all.

  • And/or going through a powered USB hub.

  • Mark Carney has opened a Pandora’s Box with his China deals

    Jump

  • A few people on Lemmy, from various instances have noticed this set of accounts posting on the same topics, with almost identical style of writing and engagement over the last few years. It's just people who've had shitty experiences with the sockpuppets who've crowdsourced an informal table. I've tried engaging in good faith in the past before I figured what's going on. 😄 As far as the fediverse is concerned, it's no different than someone creating 10 Reddit accounts to astroturf whatever topics they're interested in. There's nothing wrong with having alts. There are many legit purposes. I don't like astroturfing so I'm calling it out when I see it, so people are aware.

  • mastodon age verification

    Jump

  • I don't think that means they're planning on doing age verification. Mastodon and anyone running a Mastodon instance has to operate within whatever legal regime their country imposes. I interpet the above as putting some work towards figuring out ways to do that. If a country mandates age verification and Mastodon has no ability whatsoever to comply, then Mastodon becomes illegal in that country. Maybe we don't care about that for a few countries here and there. If that happens in the EU however, that'd be a problem and a likely blow to the Fediverse.

  • Is there anyone who can explain to me, or tell me, that if Kamala Harris had been elected a year and a bit ago in the American election, do we really think that Mark Carney would have done anything different?

    This is hysterical. 🤣

  • Had a 2080 Ti until recently. I've only paid once for a new GPU in my life - a 1070 when we were gonna get millionaires on crypto mining. Gave it to a friend's kid when I found that cheap 2080 Ti.
