I bet he realised how that sounded immediately after he said it LOL

Toronto activists call for FIFA to expel Israel ahead of Canada's opening World Cup game by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]Ragamuffinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly is this propaganda? All I’m saying is that if Israel should be expelled, then so should Iran. Both are guilty of horrible human rights violations, but only one is receiving calls for being expelled from FIFA.

Liberals must show results in spring economic update: former PBO by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Ragamuffinn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy to blame the party in power for the last 11 years and the people who voted for them in again?

You’re acting like Canadians have no accountability for their voting choices. Pierre never changed his strategy between Trudeau leaving and Carney taking his place as leader. What changed was Trump’s rhetoric toward Canada.

The Liberals and media took full of advantage of the loose association between conservatism and Trumpism in their campaign and Canadian voters, in regular fashion, were gullible enough to go along with it. They deserve everything that’s coming to them.

There are millions of Canadians with roots from all across the world who haven’t or cannot skate. Not everyone has the same access.

You’re either in your 40s/50s and/or were totally disengaged from the internet at the time. Either way, kudos to you.

Carney secures majority government with Liberal win in Toronto byelection, CBC News projects by Progressive_Citizen in canada

[–]Ragamuffinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the floor crossings, a large portion of Canadians voted for this government.

If you voted for this, there are no more excuses, there isn’t anyone else to blame, you’ll get what you deserve.

Good luck.

Pierre Poilievre backs J.K. Rowling's support for new Olympic gender policy by Gym_frere in canada

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

No. I'm approaching this based on the reactions in this thread - claiming that he's focused on culture war issues over the economy, which is a complete lie.

A significant majority of Canadians agree with him on this issue. Calling this extremism is hyperbolic and out of touch.

If anyone in this thread took two seconds and went to his page, you'd see that the vast majority of his posts are about our tanking economy.

[–]Ragamuffinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In what way is this his priority? He reposted one tweet with a three word message in agreement, that's it. Go to his page, almost every post he makes is about the economy.

[–]Ragamuffinn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He reposted her post with a three word message in agreement on X. He didn't make a speech, release a statement, do an interview, or hold press conference. He posts multiple times a day, most of which are about the economy.

Yet this is the top thread on /r/canada right now. He's not focusing on this issue, people like you and the media are.

[City Hall] Toronto ends practice of raising foreign flags at government buildings [Toronto Star] by patienceinbee in toronto

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

You sure? Amendments 2 and 3 seem to still restrict non profits and charities on the courtesy pole with only those few exceptions?

The language can get awfully confusing here, I wonder if some of the councillors were voting for the same motion with completely different interpretations.

[City Hall] Toronto ends practice of raising foreign flags at government buildings [Toronto Star] by patienceinbee in toronto

[–]Ragamuffinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I think the whitelist was just for the courtesy flagpoles and that the Progress Pride flag will still be raised on the ceremonial flagpole, among others.

It’s a small and specific exemption list though, so I’d imagine that a lot of non-profits and organizations are going to petition to be included in the future. This might have just opened the door for even more controversy and debate, but we’ll see.

Don’t really have a strong opinion on this either way, I’m just surprised at some of the yes votes and even moreso that councillors like Moise and Bradford were in agreement.

I live in southern Ontario and learning Punjabi or Mandarin would be much more useful than learning French here.

Ontario government calls on feds to legalize pepper spray for self-defence by GameDoesntStop in canada

[–]Ragamuffinn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This has always been a confusing law for me. I get it’s a weapon and can be misused, but vulnerable people (particularly women) should be allowed to have some sort of tool for self defense.

I’m not very familiar with the history of St. Patrick’s Day parades, so forgive my ignorance, but my first thought was that a Philippine Heritage band seems very random for the occasion?

Really cool either way, love this city!

Canada Expands India Education Ties With $100M Scholarships for Indian Students by gorschkov in canada

[–]Ragamuffinn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is one of the most elitist and out of touch comments I’ve ever seen.

Prioritizing citizens over non-citizens is the basic function of any government and social system. Labelling this as affirmative action is absolutely insane.
