  • Mortgage debt soars while starter homes get out of reach for many Canadians

    Jump

  • It's absolute bullshit. I'm not surprised, given Carney's background. But I am disappointed.

  • What is the point of down vote spamming?

    Jump

  • I agree. Unexplained downvotes on posts that look like they're in good faith weaken the platform - it's slapping someone who spent time and effort writing their idea.

    I've heard of other systems that require a reason (or comment) to go along with a downvote. That seems like a good approach.

  • Enbridge's CEO gave away the game: public risk, private profit

    Jump

  • The problem is that this strategy works, as evidenced by the fact that the supposedly environmentally conscious Trudeau government used $35.6 billion in public money to pay for TMX. Carney’s alleged environmental credentials were also easily pushed aside after Big Oil’s sustained anti-emissions-cap PR campaign. Ebel’s comments suggest we’re now facing yet another PR campaign for a West Coast pipeline being built with public money, even though experts have already determined it is highly unlikely Canada will ever recoup the public money spent on TMX.

    Canada’s oil industry might not be great at building pipelines, but it has become expert at creating scapegoats for its failures and PR nightmares for even modest proposals to pay for its own pollution.

  • What’s a conspiracy theory you no longer call a theory?

  • ChatGPT (in deep research mode) generated this text responding to the prompt: “Provide a list of claims that were originally dismissed as conspiracy theories but were later proved true”.

    Well done, ChatGPT. Well done.

  • Citing Program for International Student Assessment data taken from 15-year-olds across the world and other standardized tests, Horvath noted not only dipping test scores, but also a stark correlation in scores and time spent on computers in school, such that more screen time was related to worse scores. He blamed students having unfettered access to technology that atrophied rather than bolstered learning capabilities. The introduction of the iPhone in 2007 also didn’t help.

    “This is not a debate about rejecting technology,” Horvath wrote. “It is a question of aligning educational tools with how human learning actually works. Evidence indicates that indiscriminate digital expansion has weakened learning environments rather than strengthened them.”

    ...

    Classroom technology usage has ballooned in recent years. A 2021 EdWeek Research Center poll of 846 teachers found 55% said they are spending one to four hours per day with educational tech. Another quarter reported using the digital tools five hours per day.

  • B.C. RCMP investigating reports of threats against Tumbler Ridge victim's family

    Jump

  • I understand not giving harassers a platform, but I'm really curious what kind of fucked up threats these poor people are getting. Is this some kind of Infowars crap?

    It'd be nice if police (or journalists) gave just a bit more information.

  • Why does cats (and similar animals) can live with the exact same food every day, but we (humans) need a variety of food to survive?

    Jump

  • He was well fed and offered different foods. His owners played with him and kept him clean. He didn't want to eat. They had him tested for allergies, etc but the vet didn't find anything wrong. They put him on something to increase his appetite. He ate a little. Then he stopped.

  • Why does cats (and similar animals) can live with the exact same food every day, but we (humans) need a variety of food to survive?

    Jump

  • We don't need a variety of food to survive. But, generally, we have choice, so we choose to vary our diet because it's more interesting.

    Pets do not have a choice. They eat what they're given. Or they choose not to and die (a lil cat I was sitting chose that route).

  • Prime Minister Carney Should Have Firm Guardrails When Resetting Canada–China Relations [Opinion]

    Jump

  • Maybe it's naive, but I'm less worried and trade deals with New Zealand or Denmark. I haven't heard of those countries harassing ex-pats, opening secret police stations, or committing industrial espionage. But maybe I'm just reading the wrong news stories.

  • People have interests.

    I'm constantly spamming housing related stories. I care about the price of housing. It looks like Scotty cares about Canada/China relations.

    If Scotty posts stuff you don't like, block them and move on.
