The main problem here is that western society links a nation (the people) with the land these people currently occupy...
The Quebec people sure are a nation if they want to, but it doesn't mean they can do whatever they please with the land they are currently living on.
This land is shared with other nations (ex: the first nations), and usage must be negotiated with them.
The government of Quebec (and other provinces as well) have always ignored the first nations, in big part because they usually refused to take part of provincial elections. In fact, it is forbidden to publicly campaign in reservations, got that from the father of a friend who was an Innu lawyer.
They typically try to stay out of provincial politics because first nations laws are a federal level responsibility.
In short, this whole thing is a shitshow, first nations should understand that Quebec people have their needs and history, but Quebec people cannot assume they can ignore first nations with whom they live... Respecting each other and working together should result in a better, less corrupt, country for everyone!
Education is the important part. I'm astounded that some people don't know how bad alcohol is...
My grandpa was dry and an uncle was alcoholic for a long time. My upbringing was never shy from talking about the negative effects of alcohol.
However, our society is built such that alcohol is part of the machine to keep the anxiety at bay. Forcing a reduction of alcohol consumption by itself is a bad idea, as it would make all the anxiety problems worst. Make sure people know how dangerous it is, but allow people to find other tools to help where alcohol is used.
How to you break the social barrier of low confidence and shyness in young adults? How to you recharge and reset the overworked office brain? How to you release muscle tension after a long day of sports?
Wait... "Stockholm syndrome" was really just caused by the fact that the criminals were more empathic to the hostages than the cops themselves. There was no special psychological phenomenon involved.
You won't find "american bourbon taste" exactly... But just like you wont find Scotch taste exactly.
They're different things, and learning to appreciate the good things in that diversity of style will only help you be happier in life... I love rye, it's not the same as canadian whiskey, irish whiskey or scotch whisky, but itnhas its place in my cupboard. I'm sure you can find a good Indian or Japanese bourbon-copy whiskey!
I once was reported by the high school programming class for "plagiarism" because I used visual studio's auto-generated template to start my homework.
The teacher reported it to my parents, he wanted to make me fail. I was also reported for creating a "hidden" chat app that I shared with my friends. (It didn't show in the taskbar.)
Next Christmas, they bought me a visual studio license at home!
We should simply allow European safety standards as equivalent to american ones, allowing every model approved i the EU to be sold in Canada without costly changes and re-certification.
If a car is good enough for German highways and Norwegian mountain roads, then they should be good enough for Canada.
My brother in law made a lighted glass board during covid so he could write in mid-air while facing the camera at the same time.
He used light-colored whiteboard pens and a dark background.
All that's missing was to write in reverse because the camera was on the other side!
My interpretation combined with my observations of the world is as follows.:
Bourgeoisie art scene is a sanitized/toned down version of proletarian art, which could be called more "raw" or "real". Fancy artists act as sort of explorers of raw art and pre-digest it so the (diluted) message can still somewhat reach those who wouldn't have looked at that real art.
They make more money simply because they come from this social class. They get "inspired" by poor artists and copy their style, making more money out of it.
Are they artists? Yeah... Are they true innovators? No way!
Salty water can dissolve and thus destroy a whole bunch of other chemicals... We're lucky we evolved in an environment full of it so much that we are adapted to it!
I'd call that a yellow velvet.
