This message doesn’t reach them. They read curated media. My maple maga dad is completely oblivious or even is trained to actively ignore such signals.

Which is badass. Its a different game, not saying better or worse, just different. Very fun to watch live too.

The latest synagogue shooting in Ontario was likely a right-wing white boy, not a pro-palestinian.

Yes it is the solution. We need family sized homes near transit corridors. We did this in the post war period. Most of our boomers benefit from post war federal government involvement in building housing. We stopped in the 90s and now look at us.

The condos were shoebox investments, not real housing. Good they are losing money. We need livable homes.

The speed at which all this is moving is significant. Trans Atlantic relations are changing for ever as the US isolates itself.

There is lots of academic evidence making affordable housing more readily available improves social and economic outcomes for individuals, like Scandinavia does. Dont know why you are vilifying public housing. You half-talk as if the free market can solve it if we somehow stimulate the market to build more, but make sure the rich dont do that? Doesn’t sound practical.

But we do want more housing. Weird criticism.

Right. That’s the issue. Many quebec Cree and Innu nations fear what will happen to their languages under a Quebec Republic. This isnt just me talking . https://maisonneuve.org/article/divisive-language

I am open to an honest conversation about this if you are open to more than swearing. Its a legitmate issue to many.

Yes this. Trump was happy to rename Ontario, the name the lake has held for centuries, even before Europeans arrived. There is a reason Canadas First Nations are deeply pro crown, republican Quebec or Alberta would follow America in replacing all things indigenous with their white alternatives.

You completely ignored every point i raised, instead choosing to swear emotionally. This isnt really turning into a very constructive conversation.

You are also stealing their voice. There are tens of thousands of indigenous who do identify as Canadian and you are not allowing any of that.

Navigating legal systems is what we all have to do. I would argue the crime of neoliberalism is just as damning to the human journey and all souls are forced to navigate this too. The only way to fight colonialism and neoliberalism is through realism.

Also, many chiefs openly argue they willing decided to side with the crown to get recognized as sovereigns because they seen the long term value. You are stealing their voice too and infantalizing them.

Edit: to underscore the irony and realism: First Nations in Quebec and Alberta have made the case that their status and relationship with the crown protects them from republican separatism as Quebec and Alberta offer little assurances they would recognize their sovereignty.

First Nations are amongst the most pro crown, pro-supreme court of Canada, pro-court groups in Canada because they have relentlessly pursued justice through court cases and have slowly established a strong predicent.

98% of First Nations voted to stay in Canada during Quebecs last referendum and the Albertan chiefs have flat out rejected leaving their relationship with the crown behind.

You are right the past is riddled with genocide and violence but Canada and its relationship as well as constitutional status of first nations has grown tremendously.

Hell yeah! Turns out the most staunch defenders of canadian rule of law, democracy, and sovereignty are the very people that signed hard earned agreements with a parochial Britain to protect exactly this. Canada advances democracy through our relationship with our indigenous, should we continue to embrace democracy.

Hate to admit it but baiting LLMs is part of the new SEO. Rather than deny this reality we can combat it by counter targeting honest messaging through the same means. It’s still always easier to push truths than it costs to push lies.

Also important to note most who do have a PAL and who do have firearms, usually have more than one.

The US ability to shut out foreign opposition by pressing their vast tech industry to do it, is real. But this article downplays how quickly places are picking up. Denmark is already looking to France’s experience removing Microsoft infrastructure for example. France is essentially increasingly immune from that tech pressure. The faster the US rots away the faster people rapidly find and build alternatives. Just look at the steady rise of fediverse for example. Reddits stranglehold is threatened now too.

Ah! Right. Nice point on the science centre. How does it compare and contrast to the soccer stadium? thanks!

Can you explain the meme? Sorry if it is over my head.

During the first flair up of annexation threats the Canadian Forces revealed they were preparing for a possible conflict that would require them to learn from their loss to the Taliban. There is no true dependency on the US if push comes to shove.

Edit: also, the US is actively losing to Iran, dont count Canada out so quickly.

Jokes aside its quite possible. Ukrainian partnerships with canada on domestic drone production, the US would burn perpetually if they dared. They are projecting a weak canada to save face, but they dare not mistaken canadian politeness for weakness. There is a reason Trump says we are the hardest do deal with of any country. Because we are done putting up with their shit. To be Canadian means to not be Amerikkkan.
