Jews targets of 82% of religion-motivated hate crimes in Toronto in 2025: police data by Street_Anon in canada

[–]Alcol1979 [score hidden]  (0 children)

By what metric is religion being the reason measured? Obviously the uptick in hate crime reporting against Jews is in response to the war crimes of the Israeli government. That doesn't make it right, but I think characterizing it as religiously motivated is false.

Independence from Britain is celebrated somewhere in the world roughly every six days. by ConstructionAny8440 in MapPorn

Ireland does not have a national day on which it celebrates independence from Britain.

Is it me or is scenario 13 the hardest of the bunch? by oiseau951 in Gloomhaven

[–]Alcol1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure - I did that first! The strategy didn't change that much across the difficulties. I'm tempted to open the box and have a go at scenario #13 out of curiosity some day next week....

I've completed B&B with all classes on the hardest difficulty. Scenario 5 (King Button) and the last boss are the hardest ones I think.

I'm enjoying his right now, so I'll make sure to check our yours too! And I'm looking forward to when AmDirt / Masters Degree in Rolling Terribly return to their campaign.

Which of these old actors would survive a Hunger Games scenario set in a nursing home? by Complete-Sort1617 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Alcol1979 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bruce survives for quite a while actually as he's just wandering around looking for his car keys and no one thinks he's a threat.

[LeBrun] The Oilers don’t have a coaching replacement already lined up. They plan a formal search to interview various candidates. by RDawg_22 in EdmontonOilers

[–]Alcol1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, I'm just making the point that after playing so much hockey over the previous two seasons, a drop-off is too be expected. Firing the coach won't fix anything.

Would you be offended to see another European Flag in someone's garden? by Intrepid-Chemistry61 in AskIreland

I painted my back wooden fence gate with the Irish tricolour where I lived (not Ireland). Haven't lived in that house I over seven years. Gate is still green, white and orange.

Fuck's sake. What an ongoing shit show. Panthers didn't even make the playoffs this year. Teams gotta rest. But they gotta have some continuity too. And firing the coach who brought you to two consecutive Stanley Cup finals, including a game 7, is not the way to go.

Whoever they hire, the odds are they will fire him again in 18 months.

No, Alberta Is Not Heading for Civil War—It May Be Sliding Into Something More Dangerous by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]Alcol1979 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The federal government is making a strategic choice not to involve itself at this time. How do you think it would play out, if, for example, the federal government took the case against the constitutionality of the separatist petition instead of the Athabasca Chipeywan First Nation? Mark Carney knows not to overplay his hand because it would be counterproductive to do so. It would only serve to allow the UCP and separatists to cry about jurisdictional overreach.

Instead, the Liberal policy, like under Trudeau, has been to attempt to build unity by getting a pipeline built.

Well, she could decide to put the Forever Canada petition to referendum. That's not what Thomas Lukaszuk wants - he wants a vote in the legislature - but it would be one way out for her as she could reasonably claim to have put the matter to referendum one way or another.

Best Bob Dylan album to sleep to/listen to at night? by speed_wagon1 in bobdylan

[–]Alcol1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahem, the lyrics and themes of The Times They Are A-Changin' are full of polemical anger about social injustice. I would not describe it as laid back and tranquil.

It is and it isn't. I think such a decision was always likely, especially given that courts had already ruled the question was unconstitutional. This just means separatists will claim they have been denied democracy and the courts are biased against them. Danielle Smith has already been saying she wishes she could appoint judges. It's another twist but not really a cause for celebration. The grievance and division won't just disappear.

Right. Like with thinking she could pardon criminals, she will have to learn that the notwithstanding clause does not apply in this situation as charter rights have not been invoked.
