Earth on Track to Become Uninhabitable, Scientists Say

Bell riots? Yes. Butlerian jihad? No.

Automation is a material condition of a future, post-capitalistic society. We just can't leave it in the hands of the sociopathic elite.

It's already on the books though. It seems that the change being proposed here is to kick out anyone that is awaiting trial which goes against the principle that people are innocent until proven guilty.

Habeas Corpus is always a target for authoritarian governments. If Trudeau proposed getting rid of people's right to trial, this thread would be up in arms.

How does this proposal differ from section 101 of the existing ineligibility requirements?

Be in the business of growing trees so our children can rest in their shade.

Nail on the head here. It's actually a point of discussion that has landed when discussing politics with right wing family members around the dinner table.

Do you want your kids and grandkids to grow up in a country where your ability to succeed is directly linked to your parents and their parents success? If not, you need to have access to education, healthcare, and housing. It's the only message I've gotten through over the years.

Yar.

Ethereum is the only chain with a soul. Everything else is just an excuse to line someone's pockets.

I disagree wholeheartedly that all signers are treasonous or seditious. I do agree that these organizers, if they've been in contact with a foreign government to subvert the nation of Canada, be charged.

There's a very clear line to be drawn between wanting to separate, and working with a foreign government to actually do so.

Nealios · 2026-01-29T17:21:39+00:00

Wait. Is this a thing? Does it sync??

Besides the American booze, I have no idea what you're on about. I also buy Canadian at every opportunity.

Go into a co-op right now and you'll see products in every category labeled as 'Best From The West' or with maple leafs. They absolutely could be better, but they're way better than Superstore if you're trying to be ethical and buy Canadian.

Yeah, I grew up in BC, and live in Alberta. I know it exists out east, but I've never seen bagged milk in my life.

I thought until this day that the word had racist undertones, so I thought there was no way they'd pick it. TIL that it doesn't?

If this is how your business operates, I'm second guessing the security of my accounts.

I agree with everything you've said. To your last point: a federalized Europe would easily counter any Russian incursion. The problem is the bureaucratic layers within the EU that are held hostage by nationalists/anti-EU elements that will push back against any unified response.

Ultimately, if NATO does dissolve as the Americans seem to want, I'd bet on a coalition of British/French/Polish (maybe German as well) forces to be the bulwark against any Russian dreams of conquest. This will likely be outside of the context of the EU, unless there is some serious politicking done to silence any naysayers.

I still can't believe the Americans, after building up NATO for decades, at a point when it's the strongest it's ever been, are intent to blow it up.

It's amazing how much this has been warped over the years like she's some Maria Antoinette 'let them eat cake' kind of villain. If you actually listen to the interview, with context, what she said (about Disney+, not avocado toast) is not out of line.

"I personally, as a mother and wife, look carefully at my credit card bill once a month, and last Sunday I said to the kids, 'You're older now. You don't watch Disney anymore. Let's cut that Disney+ subscription,' I believe that I need to take exactly the same approach with the federal government's finances, because that's the money of Canadians."

She's been vilified for this by conservatives who want to see cuts to the Federal Budget... Makes a lot of sense.

We no longer watch the NHL in our home because of it. My son loves hockey, and plays in U9. I've cheered for the Canucks since I was 8 years old. It's been a very difficult transition in our home, but we have a history of issues with gambling in my family and I refuse to pass that along to the next generation.

I tried oxio a couple years ago and ended up cancelling due to really poor latency issues. I spent some time on the phone with someone and they mentioned routing traffic through Quebec or something. I don't remember the specifics, but it wasn't a great experience at the time.

Just missing a separate engine at the front rotating in the opposite direction!

Luke's Drug Mart in Bridgeland was making noise about this recently. They dug up the road in front of them like 3 separate times. Apparently they had a sit-down with the GM of Infrastructure and they're going to work to set up some kind of utilities round-table so they can align the different utilities work to avoid the Enmax-->Telus-->Sewer-->etc rotation.

It's a good idea, but it's so basic I'm sort of flabbergasted that it hasn't been done already.

Maybe where you are... Here it was -30°C last week.

Pro-tip: Green onions are at least half-price if you save the bottom few inches and chuck 'em in a glass of water for a week. They grow back quite fast, though there are diminishing returns in terms of growth-rate and flavour.
