mostly inactive, lemmy.ca is now too tainted with trolls from big instances we’re not willing to defederate
Blessed day, Commander
The room contains a TV with Fox News on, and Fox News shows that Trump is winning
I agree but we don’t even have to get that far. No institution should rely on SIN secrecy. It’s as simple as that. It should be treated as semi-publicly available information like birthdates and important stuff like opening a bank account should require more factors of authentication.
Several countries don’t create these secret numbers that “no one should have but you” without having to rely on revoke-able tokens and whatnot. Like many things, crypto has a clever solution for this but the current status quo is so bad that a not-stupid approach would already be quite the improvement.
Not voting doesn’t signal that people are happy either way, it could as easily signal that people are sad either way.
Being “sad either way” is equally stupid. Feel free to argue that both options are bad but anyone with two braincells should be able to understand that one option is worse. Choosing to abstain is choosing to enable the worse option. Vote independent if you want, but fucking vote.
One in three Americans voted for Trump
Or in more effective terms, only one third of Americans voted against Trump. Counting votes against eligible voters instead of votes cast isn’t the win you think it is.
No one here needs a reminder that 2/3 isn’t 3/3, thanks.
So smart. Lots of big words
Is that sillier than forcing people who are not interested in owning a car to get a place with parking spots anyway? Because that’s where we are today. It is hard to find a building like this, and I’d love it.
If only we could decide whether having a place for people to live was more important than dedicating public spaces for storing private vehicles
I would be an embarrassment in one of these interviews. First of all I’m not a very musical person. Secondly I have terrible memory and I don’t even remember much about pre-college life. Being a charismatic politician really requires a different type of being.
I think no one disputes that we need a clear separation of electric bicycles and electric motorcycles and the presence of pedals ain’t enough.
Presumably once that’s sorted out, e-bikes can and should become the norm. They’re the “all ages and abilities” equalizer.
can absolutely be a super power, our landmass, resources and technical know-how can allow us to prosper and lead on the global stage
I mean, sure we “can”, just like many others can like Argentina or Norway… but this superpower thing is a bit tired. Let’s just worry about not being pushed around instead of aiming for pushing others around - because that’s what being a superpower means, really.
Those are all important things, but CBC shouldn’t be sacrificed for it
I agree and wish the same but…
Make it easier for whole companies to move and bring their employees
Any sort of incentive to facilitate immigration right now is radioactive, no matter how beneficial
She sells toxic positivity, she can’t admit that the people involved in what she went through are fucked up
Selling “healthy” water (named “holy water” lol) is evidence that she’s a grifter. That she’s MAGA you can tell by her follows
She definitely is maple MAGA, you can tell by her follows on Instagram. There’s a link in the previous post of this story
Edit: oh someone already found it and added to another comment on this post
→ proportional representation mitigates voter apathy and also greatly mitigates polarization and strategic voting
Unfortunately Canada still imports red scare, no tariffs on that one
ABC Vancouver?
