I think the EU and newspapers should focus on the realistic and useful e.g kicking Hungary out of the EU, strengthening EU bonds, making life across the EU as pleasant as possible, and rooting out anti-democrats.
Canada in the EU, while a nice thought experiment, is a detraction from much more important topics. If Canada had a free trade agreement with EU and free movement of its citizens, that would be an amazing start. Wouldn’t mind being able to just move to Canada and find a job there without having to pay thousands for a VISA first.
Edit:
Finally, green-lighting Canada’s EU membership could frustrate some countries, such as Turkey, which have been queueing up for, literally, decades.
Lol, Turkey has a quasi-dicatator at the helm. They’d need fair and free elections first. Even if Canada hypothetically joined the EU, who cares what Turkey thinks? If they can’t and won’t fulfil conditions for joining, too bad for them.
Correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_(franchise)
A media franchise, also known as a multimedia franchise, is a collection of related media in which several derivative works have been produced from an original creative work of fiction, such as a film, a work of literature, a television program, or a video game. Bob Iger, chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, defined the word franchise as “something that creates value across multiple businesses and across multiple territories over a long period of time.”[1]
They really are trying to milk everything out of that franchise and doing a terrible job at doing so.
Don’t like this? Sign the EU petition Stop Killing Games.
I guess we disagree, but I’m not going to stop people from voicing their opinions and linking them to their official identities.
The problem with the internet is that it doesn’t always forget. That’s exactly why I do my best to keep my accounts separate. However, yes, semantic analysis could demask me in the future, who knows. At least it’ll give me the opportunity to say “that’s not my account”. If something is officially linked to my account, my “genius” thoughts will be bound to me and could easily be found by friends, foes, employers, whatever.
What I’m getting at is: privacy is important. Giving it up should be carefully considered, not simply done by default or thoughtlessly or “because everyone does it”.
I’d like to live under that rock you call home.
There must be a reason why there aren’t enough Canadian doctors. If that isn’t resolved, getting more doctors and medical staff from the US is just going to be a stop-gap solution. It might actually convince politicians that “nothing is wrong” and reduce or eliminate their willingness to fix the existing problems.
Could somebody explain why Canada has a doctor’s shortage? And maybe also how they imagine it should be addressed?
Someone should tell the /r/canada mods to promote lemmy. Reddit is just a propaganda platform for the rich.
Snickers is a US brand…
Wordpress supports federation. Or are you looking for something else?
Europe could also send over our USA-lovers to MAGA-land. I like the way you think.
No worries, as a European, English isn’t my first language either :P
And as a response: if my job depended on being on the “right side of things” I wouldn’t make such controversial statements. Not only is it dumb in the moment, but also for the future. People are very polarised and even if she had changed her mind by now, there’d still be outrage “omg, look at what she said years ago! I don’t trust that she changed!”. Of course she supposedly doubled down, which is even dumber IMO, but you get the point.
I use this anonymous account because what the opinions I express here will probably evolve and I don’t want any future employer putting me into a box due to a comment made in jest, rage, or whatever. Revealing your identity online for anything other than business is just asking for trouble.
It’s their “god given right”, didn’t you know?
Would you if it’s something you care about
Did you forget a word?
I’m having trouble with the rest of your post too. Autocorrect must’ve struck or something.
That’s great. Since when and does everybody take psych 101?
And just to give a wider perspective (regardless of her origins), not every language makes the distinction and some up until recently did not. Look at the translations on (wiktionary). Many of them are transliterations of the English word. Which is not a surprise since the concept of gender is quite recent (1950-1960s) and was most likely very US-centric.
I don’t understand why people don’t keep such comments to their anonymous, unofficial accounts. You can hold such views in private and still treat people with respect, but saying these things officially changes everything. The co-organiser is in a space where she should know better. She then even doubled down
When asked whether she still held her more problematic views in a follow-up comment, Young responded ambiguously with “I fully stand by the statement you are commenting on.”
In for a penny, in for a pound, eh?
The first link you posted is the same as I posted and doesn’t reveal the percentage of 3+ home owners. Additionally, the second link you posted reveals that Vancouver has 53.6% of multiple home owners and Toronto 43.0%. If you have 3+ homes out in the sticks, its way less aggravating to the rest of the population that if you have it in a densely populated city.
The data show that nearly half of multiple-property owners who lived in the Vancouver CSD (44.8%), Surrey CSD (45.8%), Richmond CSD (44.2%) and Toronto CSD (46.8%) also owned properties within the same CSD.
Do you really think such a measure wouldn’t be important in such cities? The rich and wealthy thank you for your service as their defender. They definitely need it.
Show me the numbers. I only found numbers on multiple home owners, but not how many homes they have.
Also, I wasn’t saying it should be the only measure. Nowhere did I say that.
No you don’t. Revolt and rocket.chat don’t even communicate between their own servers. They are not federated.
