Surrenders to the US, or to the demands of Canadian billionaires and corporations? We have our own oligarch and monopolist issues, they’re just slightly quieter about it. At least we have fewer religious nutbars, but they do try.

CEOs gotta CEO. I don’t necessarily trust the solution just by virtue of the source type. Anyone with some real world knowledge have an analysis of the validity of the solution?

Doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a right wing bias and agenda, though. I haven’t read thd Star in decades, so I don’t know. Just pointing out the (probably) painfully obvious (because I have a tendency to do that).

Try using the infrared settings if you have them. You can potentially use it to photograph them through the masks and glasses.

That’s an excellent point. Where the heck do people mingle nowadays?

Who actually wrote this bill? Was this some lobby/thinktank/special interest group that fed it through to the government? I’m getting tired of not knowing who’s behind all this crap, and it keeps having a similar smell.

I must be missing something here. Can we not just use the web version of the bank interface insteadvof an app? It still works for my banking, and I don’t even have the app. I just have to put my browser into desktop mode.

If anyone on the team hasn’t completed the training successfully, the entire team can’t play.

technically, the Canadian dipthong is A as in father into U as in put, while the American one is A as in Dad into the E in the. To an American, it sounds closer to oo because of that, but oo is too rounded and tongue too raised. (I’d use the phonetic alphabet for more precision, but I don’t have it installed on this phone)

Are those Lemmy communities? I’m having trouble finding them through my Lemmy client.

Great idea! Whose car should we take?

I’m not sure I would call them quiet about it.

In a survey of Canadians under 35, 100% of the ones I asked recognized the trade war affects cost of living. They also asked me, “When was this election ever about restoring hope for young Canadians? Where did you hear that?”

I’m not confident the average adult will ever realize it. It’s a horrible thought to me, but for the average US lower- or middle-class worker drone, how much would their actual daily life change?

Thanks. I’ve picked up a copy and will read it this week.

Before I spend time digging into it, does anyone know who thd main sources of funding are, and the backgrounds of the decision makers, for the Leaders’ Debates Commission? (I don’t follow debates, so I’ve never paid much attention to that, but I am now working to map out funding and influence networks in our country)

I absolutely agree. As a non first nations person, what can I do to help?

Perhaps a market approach to housing is the core of the problem. I don’t know, and I’m just tossing out an idea triggered by the repeated explicit assumption you’re making (“inside a market system”). I am tossing out the idea in the spirit of cooperative “yes, and…” discussion, I am not challenging your point, and I am not interested in debate, but rather, conceptual exploration to see what ideas might emerge. (If you know De Bono’s work, what I am saying is, “po housing is not based on a market system”).

I honestly think that’s the most productive place to focus influence. I geew up in Saskatchewan, where the lieutenant governor reserved assent 70 times, sometimes explicitly stating the legislation was not in the best interests of the people. It’s at least a viable line of defence against populism and corporate interests.

Good thing we still have the Governor General, then, who can block the use of the notwithstanding clause by withholding royal assent.
