I gotta point out that in Canada at least, unless you’re driving you don’t need to carry any ID. You could be a freshly landed immigrant and you don’t really need to carry anything. Unless you’re driving, buying alcohol / weed or need to register for something. Its wild to me that “not having your papers” while just going about your day in the world is not resulting in major protests. Just wild.

This a good find. Honestly, I feel like its all just propaganda to get rid of the postal service to undermine workers rights.

Sure, but it sounds like the budget probably needs to be adjusted then.

Canada post is a public service, its supposed to be over budget. That’s like saying the firemen aren’t making enough money grifting people with fire putting out fees every time they get a call.

If anyone in Calgary is at all surprised at this, you learned nothing in 2009 and 2014. You also will probably learn nothing this time.

Ewwwwwwwwwww. It’s okay to say the US is definitely interfering, and honestly, fuck them for that.

Brazil just jailed Bolsanaro, South Korea just resisted a coup. That’s like, this year alone.

I feel like this will blow up in his face though. Europe is sorta half commited to supporting Ukraine, this will just shore up support almost immediately.

Yes to both. Sign me up.

What’s wild to me is not a single “project” involves housing.

Holy shit so rare to see my town in the news but ultra proud!

I’ll give you a good example, when Carney took the job, one of his first changes was to cancel the digital services tax that would mostly affect US Social media companies. NOT DOING THAT WOULD BE WHAT HE SHOULD BE DOING. He should be ensuring that Canada is independent from the US in every feasible way.

Seriously a lick of evidence of corruption would be swell.

Good question. Like I say, maybe they should adapt. And I say that as a stupid idiot Albertan who works in oil and gas, but hey for now yeeeehaw.

The Ontario EV industry at any point can start making a smaller, cheaper EV that’s not a Crossover SUV abomination. We need smaller smart car sized EVs in the sub $20,000 range (in addition to better transit, please don’t crucify me Lemmy).

Canadian Militia Intensifies

Just do mint. If you don’t like it, try another. I went mint and it felt comfortable and worked so I’m happy with it. Might try Debian next time for more stability and less cutting edge.

Time to revive those Corel word perfect licenses.

I think its almost universally accepted that the US would crush Canada in a traditional land war, but the long term occupation would destroy the US. Its one thing to invade a distant land across the world with people who look and speaking nothing like you. Its a different story to do it in your own backyard with people who look, talk and think like you and are thorough embedded in your society.

See, I disagree with this sentiment. Coming from a Canadian we’re seeing products in grocery stores and other places we’ve simply never seen before because all the american product is rotting on the shelves. For instance, I’ve seen legit Canadian brands of laundry detergent whereas my whole life all I’ve ever really seen is tide, bounce the usual corp crap.

This is slowly but surely propping up alternatives in a way that simply wasn’t possible before and directly contributing to what is currently small manufacturers, farmers and other retailers into becoming viable alternatives to the usual suspects.
