  • if she believes this is the best way to represent her electorate and that’s her motivation, fine

    I'd have liked to see a town hall meeting or other community consultation at the very least. Absent that, I can't help but think it's motivated by self-interest

  • Legal, yes. Ethical?

  • That is shocking and maybe setting a very worrisome precedent of Carney clearly implementing a "big business can regulate itself" (wink, wink) style of 'government' (or, more cynically, a government that represents clearly represents big business not people)

  • Ty!

    I hope whoever wins can breathe some fresh life into a party, political system, and country that truly needs it right now

  • Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you had to have registered for this in advance to vote.

    If Avi wins, I'll volunteer for the NDP

  • If I voted for such a floor-crosser, I'd feel so betrayed

  • The person you're discussing this with is clearly more knowledgeable than you are. So you resort to "they must be a bot." Good grief. Blocked

  • Why are you being so litigious about this? I'm blocking you because you're detracting from my Lemmy experience. I have a honours degree in psychology, I work in hospital research, I have 20 publications. I've tried to avoid saying "I can tell you two both don't know much about [social] sciences" but refrained from that out of civility

  • There’s nothing more Reddit like than “I think what you mean / you should be saying” and a “this is such a Reddit moment” to boot lol

    We can agree to disagree. I was respectful. I didn't say the person or their viewpoint was wrong - I just pointed out what I think is inaccurate in their comment. And, most importantly, I fully explained myself so that others could examine my argument and disagree with it. In retrospect, I should have used "cloaked" instead of "disguised" for connotative language's sake. I'm trying to help Lemmy remain a place for respectful and accurate discourse, not bots, disinformation, and dunking on people (edit: censorship too)

  • Studies have shown that racism is often caused by a lack of intelligence

    Social scientists don't speak in such certain terms. I think what you may mean is, anecdotally, the people you've seen be racist seem unintelligent. Me too. But the answer to get rid of racism isn't to get rid of unintelligent people. It's more complicated than that. Hearing anecdotal experience disguised as scientific evidence ("studies have shown X is caused by Y") feels like reddit not Lemmy

    Trump’s Orwellian Board of Peace Consists Entirely of Human Rights Abusers

  • Neither Corus Entertainment, the parent company of Global News, nor Mulroney himself responded to multiple requests for comment about whether The West Block host sharing video game footage in the middle of a war is in alignment with Global News’ journalistic standards.

    The debunked video continues to remain visible on Mulroney’s X page more than 24 hours after PressProgress first contacted the media outlet and its host.

    Corus and Mulroney did not address other social media postings by Mulroney over the weekend.

    There are a lot of other posts...

    Another post shared by Mulroney celebrated the military strikes and warned readers: “Don’t let the left fool you with their anti-war propaganda.” The post continued with “Long live America. Long live Israel. Long live Iran.”


    Global News has previously fired its own journalists for sharing opinions about Palestine on their personal social media accounts. In 2023, Global fired Palestinian-Canadian journalist Zahraa Al-Akhrass, suggesting her social media posts violated the company’s policies and created a “perception of serious, journalistic bias.”

    Internal emails reviewed by CBC News showed Global News managers had ordered the journalist to remove postings that included hashtags like #freepalestine, #gazaunderattack and #gazagenocide.

    Corus provided no response to questions about why sharing content on social media with hashtags like “#freepalestine” could give rise to perceptions of bias but not posts that declare “long live America” and “long live Israel,” let alone posts suggesting left-wing “anti-war propaganda” is a lie.

  • Iranian-Canadians will also tend to have far more historical context than the amnesic and imperialist Western mainstream media. Who overthrew the democratically elected government in Iran (under which women's rights were quite good) and brought in the current regime in 1953? UK and US. Who tore up the nuclear non-proliferation agreement thereby necessitating these bombings (in their own twisted rhetoric)? One Orange Asshole in 2017. How did Irag and Afghanistan fare after US involvement? How might a non-Zionist view what's happening in Gaza?

    The levels of analysis aren't even in the same league. This CTVNews is just consent-manufacturing, not news or journalism

  • I don't think she, or Iranian-Canadians at large, are naïve, as much as I think Bell Media and mainstream media generally want to paint a very distorted picture (e.g., unthinkingly pro-Western Imperialism) of what's going on and how people feel about it

  • It just seems a bit shariah to me

    Sounds a bit Islamaphobic to me
