Quebec to mandate formal 'vous' in schools for respect.
That's funny. When I learned french in school, I learned the formal vous and when I went to talk to actual people they would get caught off guard and confused by me using the plural you instead of singular. It did not serve me well in the real world.
The same was true about anglicismes. We learned not to use any anglicismes, but then if you go to Quebec it is part of the language.

US Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs, ruling them illegal - Canada (and other) tariffs set to end in 10 days.
Wild. I thought this would happen. He tried putting on the tariffs with a flimsy reasoning (fentanyl) and since in reality there is no fentanyl problem coming from Canada they were deemed illegal.
All he needs to do is get congress to pass this. They have a majority in both houses, if you want these tariffs, do it the proper way.

Open Source doesn't win by being cheaper
The extensibility and transparency has always been the big ones for me. It is such a pain not being able to dig into exactly how a program works. Documentation is ok but open code is infinitely better.

Shit coffee and an even more shit company. Sells "Canadianess" using cheap foreign labour and takes the profits out of country.

Yeah, I really hope we can get past the culture of thinking lemmy is morally superior to reddit and just focus on having something nice here that no CEO can fuck with.

How to help a skinny kid gain weight?
My parents tried to get me to gain weight my entire life. It led to a pretty bad diet by the time I was living on my own and I only ever gained weight when I ate chicken burgers from meal hall literally every day.
Don't focus on weight, just make sure he is healthy. It can lead to poor choices and insecurities down the road.

Olivia Chow skips Toronto's Israeli flag raising event as 'it's a bit divisive'
Honestly, for a mayor in Canada I feel like that is entirely appropriate to not take a stance on foreign policy.
