I don’t understand why Governments and organizations aren’t taking advantage of the Fediverse. Spin up an instance, set it have no comments/sign ups (no comments and no signs up means very little moderation). The Fediverse allows governments and organizations to fully control their instance.
Acquiescing to Trumpie, ain’t going to stop him from invading.
The tepid response from other major powers will just embolened Trumpie.
The whole reason of invading Venezuela was about “narotics”. The same thing that Trumpie has been railing on the past about Canada and Mexico.
Venezuela was just a test case.
Remember, COVID benefits to working people = claw back every last cent paid out. Loans paid to large multinational corporations = forgive those loans! The poor corpos just needed the extra money.
The law needs to be updated to hold companies responsible for their AI bullshit.
Or a better name would be The Stephen Harper Memorial for Dead Nazis.
Someone in another Lemmy post suggested CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). In essence, you give farmers a down payment for a period of time and in exchange you get share of the harvest.

I was looking at the prices and to get two seasons (Summer and Winter) of both produce and meat would cost $1,500ish a year. I would be pay about $125 a month. Which is less than the almost $200 a month, I pay.
It’s definitely something I will be doing in the future.
The only difference between the Liberals and Conservatives is that one pays lip service to marginalized communities while fucking them over and the other just enjoys fucking over marginalized communities.
What about orbs?
I’m so happy that all those tax breaks and corpo dick sucking is going to work for us plebs.
“I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine,” Trainwiz wrote on the Nexus Mods page for Really Useful Cliffracers.“I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.”
Remember, CEOs aren’t people. CEOs are legally parasites.
I’m Team Asteroid.
Edit: Humanity needs a good hard restart that an asteroid might give to us.
Carney “No! This project is intrinsic to making Canadians love being Canadians! People from all over Canada will look at Ksi Lisims LNG with pride.”
Not shocked at all. Hockey has a terribly toxic culture to it.

Long before the recent highly publicized reports about sexual violence and silencing in hockey culture, journalists and academics were sounding the alarm (Gruneau & Whitson, 1993; Ingham & Dewar, 1999; Robinson, 1988). Informed by the research surrounding hypermasculinity and hockey culture (Allain, 2008; 2014; 2015), we conducted an interview-based study with elite-level male hockey players who were resistant to various elements of the culture.
On July 14, sports writer and activist Shireen Ahmed broke down Hockey Canada’s open letter on CBC News. “Abuse in hockey is not new,” insisted Ahmed. “Sexualized violence in hockey is not new.”
There is a discernible hockey subculture, rooted in violent performances of masculinity, that is undeniably helping fuel this pattern of abuse. And so far, organizations have been reluctant to do anything about it.

The socialization process encourages young boys and men to embody certain traits of hegemonic masculinities that manifest in homophobia, misogyny, xenophobia, and heteronormativity (Allain, 2008; MacDonald, 2014). To promote and ensure athletes embrace certain masculine ideals, hockey players are frequently subjected to policing tactics that ensure the adoption and enactment of preferred masculine characteristics (Messner, 1990, 2000, 2007; Pringle & Hickey, 2011). As players progress in the game to elite-levels, these behaviors are expected, reinforced, and rewarded. However, attaining dominant masculine traits does not necessarily translate into fulfilling and satisfying experiences in life (Connell & Messerschmidt, 2005). Despite personifying these desired masculine ideals, many former competitive ice hockey players are now publicly revealing their struggles with addiction and with the impacts of injuries connected to a lifetime of embodying hyperaggressive and overly competitive qualities of masculinity (Messner, 1990; see Fraser, 2020; Hirsch, 2018; Wilson, 2020). Importantly, the calls for change are coming from inside the rink.
Also, guess who will pay less taxes, and who will foot the bill?
Less taxes for the richies and the corpos. Service cuts for everyday Canadians.
To be fair, Canada Post Corporation Act does heavily limit Canada Post’s ability to think of different ways to generate revenue.
5 (1) The objects of the Corporation are
(a) to establish and operate a postal service for the collection, transmission and delivery of messages, information, funds and goods both within Canada and between Canada and places outside Canada;
(b) to manufacture and provide such products and to provide such services as are, in the opinion of the Corporation, necessary or incidental to the postal service provided by the Corporation; and
( c) to provide to or on behalf of departments and agencies of, and corporations owned, controlled or operated by, the Government of Canada or any provincial, regional or municipal government in Canada or to any person services that, in the opinion of the Corporation, are capable of being conveniently provided in the course of carrying out the other objects of the Corporation.
Canada Post should be lobbying for a greater mandate such as a postal banking, a lost cost ISP provider, etc. It’s definitely the fault of politicians not to change the mandate of Canada Post.
Canada on a whole from the federal level down to the municipal level is anti-business. Starting up a business often requires a deep pocket with red tape every step of the way. If the Liberals want to really galvanize collective action from Canadians, they need to be providing business centric services that are easy to access, affordable and competitive. Where’s the business starter kit from the government? Oh wait, there isn’t one. Better spend a few grand and loads of time on a business degree huh?
That’s cause Canada’s inherent nature to protect the duopolies that have developed. We have to protect these large national companies cause if they leave; the economy and services to Canadians will suffer.
Would it suck at first? Yes however new companies will rush into the market to take advantage of the market conditions.
“What we meant by a big, bold federal budget is that it will have it big spending cuts to social programs and bold ways to transfer even more money to corpos and richies.”
Or maybe we’ll be pleasantly surprised that the budget is a progressive/progressive-lite budget.
I call him Andrew, Prince of the Nonces.
It was Sleepy Joe Biden or Barrack HUSSEIN Obama. No way was it negogiated by Glorious Brain Rot President Trumpie.
