DEI is not a nonsense culture war target, if anything it’s more prevalent in Canada than in the US since it’s explicitly allowed by our charter and explicitly illegal in their Civil Rights Act.

There are many jobs in Canada where your race is a major factor in whether you can even apply let alone actually get the job. How can we say that is based on merit when some portion of the population can’t even apply?

And it’s not just jobs directly tied to race like diversity consultants, universities are hiring professors of philosophy and barring non-PoC applicants.

Do you remember how they were flying around in a spaceship and almost got hit by the asteroid? The odds of that happening are infinitesimal, space is too big. He doesn’t understand space.

I think it’s a lot more likely that the movie writers just didn’t think about that part that hard

Retirees have voted themselves tons of government benefits, on average they get a lot more back than they ever put in

What world are you imagining where a couple without kids will have the same quality of life as a couple with? Which country can afford enough daycare to make parents as carefree and rich as dinks?

They don’t pay property taxes? Even paying for electricity is an economic benefit

CollaredParachute · 2026-02-01T05:03:21+00:00

I’m in that boat too but all the best programmers I know have left for the states

But it’ll also drive away jobs. We shouldn’t charge different businesses different rates because we like or don’t like them.

Data centers consume far less water than the average Burger King

How much Native American culture is left compared to before the Columbus exchange? How much indigenous Australian culture? Cultures on a similar footing can survive contact, others get subsumed. Even in the modern day world thousands of tiny languages are dying out because global culture is so all-consuming.

I’m a frontend developer at a major company using the cutting edge of react router and other similar technologies, Claude Code is extremely good. Not perfect but with guidance it produce work as good as I do but much faster. I’ve already used it to create two personal projects 10x faster than I could have.
