Canada@lemmy.ca•PQ in power, CAQ wiped off the map: Key takeaways from Quebec's election
2·1 day agoWell said! We all bleed red and should eventually merge into one global unit. This is the day and age of special interests, specific agendas and propaganda dictating forward progression, though. I can’t believe you’d get downvotes for a statement like this. My families history is of Scottish blood. My culture, growing up in western Canada, is american television.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Messaging service Signal says minister’s changes to lawful access bill will not persuade it to stay in Canada
33·1 day agoBill C-22 is a bad bill and can cause us some difficulties down the road. On the other hand I don’t like a tech corp strong-arming us to change our policies. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.
NDP is more about people than money, unlike the regular parties. They are between a rock and a hard place. Getting those cancer results in helps the people that are currently sick and possibly dying. That would be the priority and correct decision in almost any case, wouldn’t it? Most of these responses on here seem like “gotcha!” instead of reasonable discourse.

Canada@lemmy.ca•'Dynacare sucks,' Manitoba premier says after labour board agrees to halt strike
12·4 days agoSo, we got rid of all the independent, competing labs and privatized it all to Dynacare? It seems we talk out of both sides of our mouths with regard to citizen ownership versus corporate ownership. Every single time it’s eventually proven that citizen ownership is better for the citizens. Corps can no longer streamline processes, ramp up, hit the ground running, and move fast. It’s a myth. They only exist to provide money to shareholders while the lab work is secondary. The only reason things like this would be approved is that deals were made and money changed hands at a private level that is above the citizenry.

British Columbia@lemmy.ca•B.C. man sentenced to 8 months in jail for antisemitic graffiti on Victoria synagogue
32·5 days agoI’m confused nowadays. Is it anti-Semitic to dislike all of the Jewish people or just the Israeli’s? /s Anyway, there should be some sort of punishment but 8 months in jail seems a bit excessive.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alto high-speed rail project could cost more than originally thought: budget watchdog | CBC News
1·6 days agoThanks for the defense. I stand by what I said but it’s nice to know I’m not alone and just yelling into the wind. All the best.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alto high-speed rail project could cost more than originally thought: budget watchdog | CBC News
1·6 days agoIf you’re in Canada right this minute, then we are in the same Canada. I suspect the reality is closer to my description but we all wear varying shades of rose-coloured glasses and I always allow that I could be utterly and completely wrong in my ramblings.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alto high-speed rail project could cost more than originally thought: budget watchdog | CBC News
3·7 days agoWe went all in on corporate profit over societal progress. It’s unsustainable and resources are dwindling. No social programs just drug addiction in a self-medicating world with the rest of the folk sticking their collective heads in the sand. Shame gone, not a lot of respect for people or institutions anymore. A low-level anger that seems to permeate everything. Unstable world politics indicating a revolutionary sea change sometimes in the near future. Maybe major projects will get that money flowing for everyone but I believe it’ll be the same old players who know how to use the system. That’s most likely just the tip of the iceberg. I believe there is also a lot of good and happiness in the world but more so on an individual level than a societal one.

6·7 days agoDon’t buy the National Post for news. They are trying to interfere with the countries politics by their disingenuous editorializing. america owned and america toned.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump says 'very bad' Canada is being 'taught a little lesson' as trade action escalates | CBC News
2·7 days agoFrom my perspective it’s trump that’s being taught a lesson in the true art of the deal, even though both sides are unnecessarily suffering for his antics.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Former soldier exposes how Canadian white supremacist group recruits members
1·7 days agoAll you lonely people out there, try to be helpful rather than hateful. It’ll take you a lot further in life and life is long. I understand the need to fit in if you’re lonely but don’t follow leaders and watch the pawking meters.

11·8 days agotrump went on to say, “…and I don’t care how many american people or american businesses have to suffer while I teach those nasty Canadians to kneel.”.
Didn’t Navarro just tell Canada to not interfere in elections? Is everyone of these trump little piggies, hypocrites?

1·10 days agoHope for the future used to be the strongest drug but it’s been quashed and now replacement drugs have taken over. The only way we can bring back hope is more boots on the ground law enforcement and less jobs for the masses. /s

Canada@lemmy.ca•Google Canada starts using account activity to estimate your age - Sopuli
1·10 days agoOne of the big projects going forward should be to change “Google Canada” to “MapleNet Canada”, used by the people, for the people. It’s not all about infrastructure, it’s about identity as well.

Canada@lemmy.ca•CBC/Radio-Canada announces return of Hockey Night in Canada in PWHL partnership
2·10 days agoGood! We need affordable sports for families and people in general to start collectively enjoying again. It should be a cheap night out for sure.
Microsoft getting into the movie biz when many are no longer watching movies. Genius! Those who watch the Microsoft movies…will they need to purchase new hardware? /s
