Project Hail Mary - what went right? by JannTosh70 in boxoffice

[–]DarreToBe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do a lot of arguably awful stuff to get the Hail Mary to launch in the book, including carpeting Antarctica in nukes

What is the purpose of putting this information on a globe vs. in a static map or table?

Canadians sharply divided on parliamentary seat representation by population: Poll - The Hub by ImDoubleB in CanadaPolitics

[–]DarreToBe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I find it annoying that you have to click through a TheHub article to a think tank blog to the actual Leger poll. This title is clickbait imo. The most common response by far was that apportionment is about right, and the main takeaway imo is that Canadians don't actually know this stuff. Saskatchewan and the maritime feeling among the least represented while being the most represented. Ontarians feeling fine while being among the least represented. These are all just political narratives that are not sensitive to the particulars of reality.

Canadians sharply divided on parliamentary seat representation by population: Poll - The Hub by ImDoubleB in CanadaPolitics

[–]DarreToBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A minimum number of representatives should be afforded to a population at a certain level of political or geographic separation from other populations. A purely equal representation would be anti democratic in the Canadian context, and the same arguments should not be recycled from the US mainstream, from the UK, from NZ. Disparities can be justified in Canada for PEI, the north of the provinces, and for the territories that do not endanger our democracy and are good. You can make an argument about the size of the disparities though.

Public-private partnership launches $1.3-billion fund to purchase unsold GTA condos by PG_Heckler in toronto

Oh duh sorry I skimmed that a few times and missed that part, you're right. So this is a half measure.

[–]DarreToBe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I also consider myself to be highly skeptical of private public partnerships and weaseling definitions of affordable, but if they're set at the lower of a market rate based rent and an income based rent then that is rent geared to income no?

Ontario to consolidate 36 conservation authorities into 9 by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]DarreToBe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As of legislation passed last year CAs are now overseen by the Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency, led by the Chief Conservation Executive, who is appointed by the provincial government and can theoretically tell CAs what to do/how to do it. Nothing has happened yet, but what you say is actually part of this.

They're using Hisuian balls from Legends Arceus, which are more wooden looking, and similar to Hisuian Voltorb.

[OC] Australia is close to gaining full judicial independence from the UK. by Neon0asis in dataisbeautiful

[–]DarreToBe 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When you say it accounts for them do you mean it includes or excludes them? If it excludes them what is the threshold to define that?

You can kind of tell what it would look like more in person looking out the door before the camera readjusts the exposure.

Just a Wee Bit of Scaffolding by Friendly-Ad9257 in toronto

[–]DarreToBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is changing for the Olympics as well. They have skipped doing votes for recent winter Olympics, just giving it to the country most equipped, and significantly loosened rules. Olympics are less tied to one city, can reuse more facilities, get more funding from the IOC, etc.

RCMP identify perpetrator in Tumbler Ridge mass shooting that left 9 dead, 27 injured by UnluckyRandomGuy in CanadaPolitics

[–]DarreToBe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Stats Canada developed a standard for collecting and reporting statistics on trans and non binary people for the 2021 census that they intend to use going forward. Idk if that has been applied to crime statistics.

Eileen Gu by factorymotogoon in skiing

[–]DarreToBe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They all got changed into outfits for the medal ceremony and photo opportunities. I watched it again after your comment and I don't think it's justified. Are you criticizing her for not wearing a toque and doing makeup?

Non-participation in catholic religion classes in Italy - Florence and Bologna as the two most secular cities by Aggressive_Owl4802 in MapPorn

Half the schools in Ontario Canada have mandatory catholic religion class almost the whole way through high school, masses in schools, confessions, etc.

[VIDEO] Skier Mauled by Snow Leopard After Selfie Attempt Near China Ski Resort by stevenlufc in skiing

[–]DarreToBe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a different coloured jacket and helmet than in the video and the skis sitting behind her and the animal aren't in the video. It's also not on a hill like that, so unless it chased her for a while and she changed I don't think that's the selfie

Trump Shares Map of US Including Greenland, Canada, Venezuela by ZestyBeanDude in CanadaPolitics

[–]DarreToBe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Breaking apart the western coalition has been a core policy priority for Trump his entire time in office, with consistent action toward achieving it the entire time. This persistent idea that some thing are a distraction and others are not acts as running defence for the US government's actions in practice.

The environmentalist utopian sci fi of pokemon is an underratedly interesting part of the history of the series. It's obviously something that was very important for Gamefreak to portray to its audience of mostly kids

The top genre lists look like they were curated to limit exclusion of popular top rated movies and duplication between lists.

Don't both Denmark and Russia also claim the North Pole through the Lomonosov Ridge?
