People are not mad enough at Israel for intentionally starving Palestinians. It seems surreal to me that the international community is allowing this to happen. There are warehouses full of food and medications that other nations have sent but Israel won't allow in. We are watching a war crime live.

Every one of these idiots will vote. Their heads are filled with disinformation and they are spinning with rage. They are highly motivated. The race is close.

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone. Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada

"Protecting the choice of kids" is a hell of a way to describe denying children medical treatments.

Fire them as fast as fuck, along with whoever approved it. Apologize profusely, say that’s not how your party plays politics, and learn your lesson.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Filled out the pledge at votepalestine.ca, mostly happy with the email text they provided. I did untick the box for sending a copy to the BQ leader, I just don't think he's likely to find English emails from Edmonton very persuasive.

Mark Carney's Liberals are dodging questions about a CDN company's contract to supply the Israeli military with up to $78.8 million of artillery propellants, despite Joly's promise to block military exports to Israel last year. @readthemaple.bsky.social www.readthemaple.com/the-liberals...

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

ok so what gets called "gender ideology" is jsut like "be who and how you want" and what gets called "not ideology" is like "follow these specific unwritten rules and perform these forbidden rituals according to the circumstances of your birth"

Right now, for a lot of Canadians the temptation is to ignore Indigenous people because the threats from the US seem way more important. This turn to fervent and ignorant nationalism is a mistake. Don't alienate the people who know more about your "country" than you do. Find common cause instead.

As seen in the bathroom at my kids’ school. Pay the custodial staff whatever they are asking for, and throw in extra for making them go to the trouble of asking.

Okay if this dweeb can declare himself a king because he was an early employee at Roblox, I get to be God-Emperor of Dune because I was at Viz when they got the Naruto license which is WAY more important to modern life

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Bodily autonomy means bodily autonomy. Full stop. Your body belongs to you and nobody else gets to decide what you do to it. Have an abortion. Take HRT. Have sex for money. Have sex for free. Have no sex at all. Gain weight. Lose weight. Get a tattoo. What's right for you is your right.

If this is accurate (and I’m not qualified to judge), then - depending on vote efficiency- the CPC is only tickling majority territory rather than having it in the bag. I’ll need to see more like this to be shaken from my “cake walk” theory of the coming election. But I’d be happy to be wrong.
