I agree with that too.

I’ve seen upvote-only communities work elsewhere. I’d be happy to see the downvote button dropped.

That’s $345k/each. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. It’s definitely less than buying a house.

You’re right. Sad that you’re getting downvotes.

This one doesn’t: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/wildfire-smoke-health-effects-how-to-protect-air-quality-9.7297727

Nor this one: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bradley-creek-evacuee-wildfire-9.7297911

This one? Nope. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/spokane-washington-wildfires-9.7297896

This one really seems like it should, but it doesn’t: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/south-korea-heatwave-9.7296123

Making the concessions conditional is a great idea.

Agreed. I’m surprised a judge thought the IP address was enough evidence to convict him.

That’s what I find so shocking. There was literally nothing incriminating other than the username.

The ars technica coverage does a better job of describing what happened.

Did anyone expect anything different? He’s a child of the 70s and 80s who became a banker and high ranking technocrat. Neoliberalism is his jam.

I’m skeptical about this government, but it sounds like Hajdu &co aren’t rushing to quash the right to strike.

Yeah. The article is pretty short on what the rewards actually could be. I’d take a rebate from CRA.

I’m lovin my city fitness membership. It’s cheap and there are tonnes of locations. 👌

I thought the original version included prison time, not just a fine.

The exclusion for indigenous governments is weird.

Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and British Columbia.

…

“Over $500 million in funding, $300 million of which is federal, will be directed to help over 35,000 low- and median-income households install heat pumps, better insulation, improved air sealing and other upgrades at no cost, which will reduce their energy bills and lower their household emissions,” according to Monday’s news release.

According to the stats in that article, we’re middle of the pack amongst the G7 (except for household debt, in which case we’re number one).

The article highlights how younger and poorer Canadians are bearing the brunt of the housing/affordability crisis.

But the incels are the most intense manifestation of a societywide problem: How do we get lonely young men to log off and rejoin society? How do we convince these men that they are not, as the killer believed, “barred from actualizing your potential?”

…

The solution to this loneliness epidemic and all the downstream dangers that flow from it, is painfully simple: We need to break this internet addiction and get disaffected young men into physical, shared spaces again. The difficult part, the thing we haven’t yet figured out, is how we do that.

I agree that it’s awkward and it creates problems in some scenarios. I’m not sure it’s necessarily a bad thing, but it’s an understandable (over) correction for some pretty heinous behaviour.

I think it’s also equally pretty weird to just dismiss a facet of someone’s humanity.

At work? I think it’s preferable to limit our interactions to work related stuff.

Outside of work, I’m ambivalent. We associate physical features, names, and accents with cultures. But those don’t always line up to significant differences in someone’s personality.

In the last few decades we’ve noticed that we’ve been treating each other like shit. We’ve used race, skin colour, ethnicity, weight, etc to insult others and reduce their social standing.

We’re trying to fix that. As such, calling out those specific differences is frowned on, even if we aren’t using them negatively.

Is this inconvenient? Yes. It’s pretty easy to point out the only black/fat/disabled person in a work place. But we’re really trying to avoid any conversations that could turn into insults or attacks.

So we now have an unwritten social rule that we avoid using those identifiers when talking about individuals.

Just wait until the screw worms get it. The only thing worse than screw worms are rabid screw worms.

Police say the fugitives were arrested without incident after “an unrelated call for service” and taken back to Alberta.

I would like to know more about this. What was the call for? Who called it in?
