Migrants do have the right to protest. People who are no longer in the country legally do not have a right to stay in the country. People were not taken into custody for protesting, they were taken into custody because their visas have expired. The two are entirely separate issues.
I know a couple who speak French and Spanish, and English is the majority language here. They speak and reply to each other in their own language. It’s amazing and I love it.
I know someone who’d ordered a tent canopy/gazebo from the store. Heard no complaints from them about it.
Rexall and Well are owned by the same company. Rexall is on Well’s website, and Rexall expanded their offerings to include products from Well that they didn’t previously have. Also your can pick up Well orders at Rexall stores, and they share loyalty rewards. I certainly prefer them over Amazon and Shoppers Drug Mart where the same or comparable items are available. I still go to a local, independent pharmacy for meds, though.
Canada produces good content that we should be enjoying. CBC Gem is free with ads or for a reasonable, low cost ($7). CTV also carries Canadian stuff, though not as much as CBC. It also has some free offerings (not sure the subscription price). It is part of Bell, of course, but at least it is a Canadian conglomerate and not an American one. And both are available over the air, if you are in an area that receives their signals.
Good for Pankiw and Herron. I hope more people while rejected roles in any side of the camera speak up.
It’s disappointing how many high profile people have signed on to this project. I understand that the story was integral to many people’s lives (myself included) and, yes, the career opportunity is huge, I’m sure the pay is good… But there’s a very direct line from these jobs to harming innocent people.
I quit my job boss was lying and enriching himself, but at least he wasn’t really directly harming people. Without exaggeration, I think nothing would make Rowling happier than if trans ladies were killed or killed themselves because of her influence. How can people support that? It’s a moral bankruptcy.
“Unfounded attention”, says the company that “was issued a non-compliance rating at one of its Winnipeg sites” and because a Health Canada inspection found they “did not carry out sufficient corrective and preventive actions when required.”.
The fact they will take plasma twice a week from a person compared to Canadian Blood Services’ once every two weeks tells me enough of their care and concern for those selling plasma.
If someone is coming from Wix, I absolutely do not recommend Drupal. Not that Drupal is bad (it’s what I prefer), but it is very, very much more involved than Wix. Wix is for simplicity. Drupal is for control.
You’re just telling on yourself that you just don’t care where your money goes. And, you know what, that’s your call to make. But what I don’t understand is why bother attacking people who choose differently than you? Why do you care what random internet people you don’t even know think of you? Who would even know how you choose to spend your dollars if you didn’t say anything?
If you don’t care where your dollars go, just own it. “I’ve got too many other more immediate things in my life to worry about.” Okay, then. Fine. Just own it, and stop being so insecure about it. If you’re right, then you’re right.
“You’re not perfect, so don’t even try” is an incredibly childish and immature stance to take. That’s like saying no one should ever try or learn anything new because they’re not masters of it immediately. I mean, if that’s the attitude you have, why should you even bother anything ever? What is the point of your life if you’re not the best or perfect at everything? You may as well just go and die already.
I know this feels rather novel and even strange in the Canadian context, but other postal systems around the world have integrated shops/markets/other services for years.

Did anyone ever think he was a climate guy? He was voted for mostly being neither Trudeau nor Poilievre. It’s been a big positive otherwise that he’s a true statesman, but I can’t imagine what would have made anyone think he was a climate guy.
Truly, I don’t understand how this isn’t a thing already, it’s so basic. In any other context, a large investor in a private company acquires a share of it. In Canada, if the large investor is the government, its a gift?? Wtf??? I’d even be okay to, say, build on some clauses that the government buys shares at a higher price, or needs to divest at X time, first right to buy back, etc., if people are afraid of the government literally taking over everything.
Or even simple clauses, like CEO take a pay cut, no bonuses, etc. But this business of privatizing gains and socializing losses only helps the ultra wealthy hoard wealth at the expense of everyone else. It’s incredibly immoral to take bailouts, then give bonuses and even fire workers.
Zed, unless its part of a person/product name where its specifically Zee, like Jay-Zee. Otherwise, it’s Gen Zed.
Not all trans people are transitioned on hormones, so I guess a relevant question is Are trans athletes required to have been on HRT +testosterone blockers for a minimum time in order to compete in sports? At what level of competition would that be required? How and by whom is that monitored? Is it even possible to monitor if, say, an athlete reduces their T blockers?
“Speaking out” has now basically lost its meaning and only means making a statement publicly.
The other day I heard on the radio a survivor of the Jazz plane crash “speaks out” about it. He just described the experience.
And even in an exaggerated/lightened for cheesy humour kind of way, it highlights real issues that northern communities face, as well as some parts of Inuit culture.
I truly cannot understand why Israel make people lose their minds. Replace “Israel” with “China”, for example, and no one would beat an eye.
Get rid of time change. Have a referemdum for Standard or Daylight, then stick to it.
These people would be surprised how many people have preserved multiple portraits of Hitler and hidden away in their homes and shops. I’m talking about stamp collectors. There were very many stamps issued with Hitler’s gave on them, and very many casual to dedicated collectors own at least one.
Having a shrine to Hitler is not fine. Owning historical items in context is totally fine. Authentication and appraisal is a normal part of insuring any kind of collection.
The real issue is not that a politician has one Hitler-related item amidst a wider collection of rare, historical items, but that someone who is independently wealthy and can spend millions of disposable dollars on a hobby is representing “the people” in a time of rising unemployment, affordability crisis, housing crisis, cuts to essential services, etc.
Is its financially feasible (or maybe barter with something else), to have a sitter just to give yourselves an evening or weekend afternoon off? Just a few hours where you’re not working and not being parents. Have a park or coffee date together.
