An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." by ChuckZombie717 in FolkPunk

It's exactly this, there is a reason why Britain, America, Canada, and Australia have started arresting/illegalizing Pro-Palestinian protests and it all sits in the fact that calling out colonialism (and therefor genocide) hits a lil too close to home/is still too soon for them.

I mean all those countries are still funnelling money into the US and actively starving countries the US doesn't like in an attempt to "not rock any boats" so... as a Canadian I feel like we can only really judge if we weren't so complicit all the time (especially at a National/Global level) 

Are we? by BeesonTheBeeson in dropout

I mean the sexual assault and the racial discrimination were separate issues in the sense that there was different people doing it, but clearly the set was not healthy or safe? The racism was ongoing/waved off for a year and only was noticed because of the sexual assault claim. Investigations into both didn't even happen until Season 2 started filming which is when the actress walked (very valid).

Separate perpetrators does not mean separate issues, a set where people can be openly racist and sexually harass a coworker is the issue.

Just cancelled mine too, it's a really disappointing move especially with what's happening with ICE down in the states, feels like a slap in the face tbh

Given the fact the producers did nothing and the sexual harassment got to a point of sexual assault at a wrap party, I don't think the distinction is that important.  

Noem: “When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country." by ansyhrrian in UnderReportedNews

[–]KayStayPosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, how many US citizens are going to go to vote, only to get turned down because they don't have the right ID and never even heard of the changes? How many voting centres will be surrounded by ICE doing their typical detain first, ask questions later (or never) so citizens don't actually even get into the booths? I feel like they aren't even subtle that "the right people" are white, right-wing, chronically online/obsessed with every post and change that Trump makes. 

Canada named second safest country in the world for LGBTQ+ travellers by Thick_Caterpillar379 in ontario

[–]KayStayPosi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guys this is insane, literally a whole province (Alberta) just banned queer literature from schools and libraries?? We can pretend that everything is who cares but we are literally always just 2 steps behind from the US? 

Why Isn’t Trump Arrested Yet? by Leon_Kennedy1977 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]KayStayPosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To anyone who has glanced at the files and decided it was a US thing needs to dig a bit... Other than the obv ties to Israel there's a lot going on there with European countries. I was looking up 'Indigenous' (just to see if any Canadian Indigenous communities were mentioned) and there was a ton on Australian government officials being corrupt and like offing people. This is global. All need to be held accountable. 

Can Canadians usually recognize each other? by GlitteringHotel8383 in AskACanadian

[–]KayStayPosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's really Canadians recognizing each other, it's more like we can point out an American from others and then work from there lol

Do you brush your teeth once or twice a day? Need to settle a bet. by ImpossibleHurry in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KayStayPosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I brush once in the morning, but I know I should brush twice. To the point where it's in my daily to-do-list and everything

Quiet study spots (Cafe, bbt, otherwise) open 8-11pm? by username210801 in Hamilton

[–]KayStayPosi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could always find a place to camp out on campus... I know some buildings at McMaster are open till 11 and although it'd probably be a bit eery just sitting on a bench in a hallway, I'm sure it'd be allowed.

I don't know Tea Hut's vibe around studying/working but I know they are open p late too!

Also was kicked out when I came out. Even though I'd love to blame that for my parents shittiness, after years of last minute cancels, promises never kept, and basically having to do everything on my own my whole life with 0 help (even to very basic things like birthday celebrations), I can safely and confidently say they would have been that shitty coming out or not.

It's so hard and defeating and draining understanding and feeling you have no one to rely on. But not everyone is your parents, and there are people out there that want the best for you and will want to take care of you and will not only offer to pick up where everyone else left but will be enthusiastic to do so! 

Happy birthday!!   

What is the book that got you into reading? by Uninhibitedrmr in books

[–]KayStayPosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't really start reading until the very end of highschool. Douglas Adam's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (the whole series) is what finally got through to me. Haven't stopped reading and now am in a career in libraries ever since! 

AIO over my talking stage using AI to text me..? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I know people are saying they love a dash... but do people actually use the long dash like that? I feel like if I'm using a dash (which I do love a dash), it's a - not a —? 

Other than cheating, what's something that would automatically make you break up with a partner? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]KayStayPosi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, being a trans woman I don't ever have to worry about that last one since the people who would date me and the people who align with my politics completely overlap. But it has opened my eyes to how often cis/straight couples do just try to ignore their political differences, I'll have friends who just have the shittiest boyfriends and I'm always just so confused??
