"When she spent too much time with Stephen Harper, she brought out his bad side," a Conservative source said. "She has the same effect on Pierre Poilievre. She is responsible for his negative tone.

Finally they found a woman to blame.

It's not the fault of these men for having such unpalatable "bad sides" in the first place. Its her fault for "making them" show what fash freaks they are.

It appears that they are operating in the open without any effort to obscure. I don't know this world enough to make any specific allegations, but the amount of death and suffering summarized there must be massive. You and I are just learning of it now but it is surely known to those in power. This website isn't even putting any kind of "human rights" gloss on it.

Seem like corporate espionage, mercenaries, money laundering and similar. I also saw Crétier described as a "philanthropist" so likely influence peddling as well. One thing he does is BOLO a free-of-charge service to raise awareness about a dozen or 2 criminal nationwide like putting their faces on a track.

If you have the stomach you could try listening to this Business Council of Canada Podcast interview with Stephan Crétier. From the bad quality transcript I guess it's mostly about the fluffy end of things: pervasive mass surveillance and gangstalking.

Well, I think the answer is yes. It’s funny because when cameras started, all the systems of camera, I remember sitting with investors at that time. It was growing. I’ve always been looking for money. That’s for sure. So I’ve always been in front of investors. People are saying, “Your business won’t exist. For three guards, we’ll put a camera and a guard.” The problem is the more you put a camera the more you see things. The more you see things the more you need people to get involved. That’s been the reaction. You look at the growth of the security industry, the people side of the business. Since cameras have been there, it’s unbelievable. The growth is there.

what we’ve done is we worked with a lab in Montreal to develop I would call a kind of technology that is able to amplify events when you’re looking for someone, when they decide to put a focus on someone. We’ve developed a system that puts a lot of pressure on the person using social media. We’ve been very successful. We’ve done on the first year seven cases. We’ve caught one person that was wanted for 15 years. The objective is not necessarily to catch more people, but it’s to get people to realize on the long term that the world might be safe, but if everyone was doing their job of being on the lookout, the world would be a safer place.

Of course the federal government has the ability to legislate the international behavior of canadian-own businesses.

kids never even pretending to wear helmets on these things

someone i know was going for a walk and chanced upon a mangled child waiting for EMS to show up

52 per cent of all e-scooter injuries we’re seeing involve riders below the legal age

Do they at least give these people and their kids some sort of traffic rules class or something?

I don't know what the answer here is, it seems like a job for Public Health.

Give away free bicycles? What was wrong with bicycles?

I am poor

I got the top-of-the-range [MacBook Pro] model

Fuck these assholes.

Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 is a woman who wakes up every morning thinking "today someone might mind my rapporteuring and do something".

In the future she will be noted and quoted as someone who should've been listened to.

Why would a woman of such dignity debase herself by visiting the US?

I think some of the inferences here are missing a piece.

Conservative governments may both be reflective and encouraging of far-right conspiracy theories and lifestyles.

But this isn't about individual choice to get vaccinated. It isn't even really about community sentiment. it is about public policy to enforce vaccination. Not just what's written on paper, but what actually happens.

• black letter law: whether they allow non-medical exemptions, how easily these can be obtained, if they are permanent, if they are scrutinized etc
• enforcement: how vigilant are the schools and health units at suspending non vaccinated children?
• availability of health services for those who do wish to vaccinate: is it practical to access care? Including time off work, travel, opening hours, length and pleasantness of appointment
  • my opinion is we should bring back in school vaccines or at least offer after school clinics in the school itself
• resources allocated to public health units: much of the above would be the responsibility of local PHU. Do they have the budget from higher ups to afford all this? And do they internally allocate sufficiently to vaccine programs?
• community outreach: it isn't just doing press conferences and scolding X posts. Internationally, many successful vaccination campaigns have been accomplished by identifying local leaders and getting them on board. This includes religious leaders. Is anybody doing this in Canada?

it isn't just the current provincial government you have to look at. You need to look at the past 10-20 years of provincial and municipal governments. And those appointed to various health related intermediary organizations by the governments themselves.

what's the bargaining unit?

do they have picket lines?

fuck ya DHL workers unionizing

Franz Ferdinand is the most correct answer in this comment thread.

I understand your question and I do not think "all of lemmy" is a serious answer to it. lemmy is comprehensively dorky but not weird on the whole. memes about donald trump and linux don't quite have that quirked out charm.

where is the SCA of lemmy? I'm not sure but maybe you'd find something to your liking on the Local tab of one of these instances: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ https://lemmy.sdf.org/ https://beehaw.org/. Make accounts, browse "Local" and block those big comms like meme, news, technology.

If you don't find your niches there, check out the rest of the fediverse. Lemmy is just a small piece. You might have better luck with a larger pool of people like mastodon, or a narrower one, like misskey. In all cases, be the kind of weird you want to see in the world, and you will attract like-minded people. Mind community guidelines. In general, try anywhere artists congregate.

The very best place to meet weird people is out in the world. Talk to people at the bus stop and eventually someone will talk back.

As of March 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members.

fuck look how rich you can get being a hate monger. he has dumped piles of cash into that place. cash he got by bigotting all over the place.

can someone book a tour and piss in his closet?

Oh ya what happened to that site? tap tap tap

Tildes is currently in invite-only alpha, and you must be invited to be able to register.

I assume all the elitists complaining about the eternal september (including the 20 years olds) have sequestered themselves there which is best for everyone.

thanks for posting the actual info from the article. For clarity the question was:

Have you changed your alcohol-buying habits since the tariffs came into effect?

I am amused by "I've been drinking less" because it is not at all mutually exclusive with the 2 "Yes" answer. And some scenarios are not even possible

• I'm drinking less + haven't changed what I am drinking
• I have been buying more American products + any of the Yes or No answers

I also highly doubt 12% of people are drinking less. I wonder what the baseline self reported rate of "drinking less" is at any given time. I imagine there is seasonal variation.

Really? Interesting. Do you have more info?

Even arguing against a straw horse would have risked defeat with his stupid argument. So a straw basket argument was the best he could muster.

What a goof.

You have to bring your own gun?

Other comments seem to be confusing ensure for baby formula. The remainder of those comments are as misinformed, disregard them.

Ensure is a nutrition supplement or replacement for adults. It is a pharmaceutical product intended for use by people who have difficulty taking in enough food. Examples would be cancer patients and those with feeding tubes.

Breast milk is a substance produced by humans for infants and young children. It is composed to provide all needs for a baby and then to supplement during weaning. Notably, it will be much higher in fat. It also contains only those proteins which are digestible to an immature human gut.

Do you have an underlying question?

If you are considering replacing one with the other, no, it is not advisable. It will lead to complications possibly death, sooner or later.
