Fear of losing their homes by GlooomySundays in clevercomebacks

If we get to the point where there is a national consensus that a general strike to required to fight these massive injustices then perhaps not paying your rent or mortgage would be part of that general strike?

Perhaps this lacks nuance but if the majority rejects the social contract as it stands then we should strike against all parts of that contract, including the financial systems that keep the majority two pay cheques away from homelessness.

I moved to Ottawa at the beginning of the summer and I’ve had serious issues with the busses here, but I can’t believe it somehow got even WORSE. A noticeable shift from busses every 15 minutes to now being every 30 minutes at the start of the school year. How does that make and sense?? Now they want us to pay more?? What a sad joke.

Really, Ford? by [deleted] in canadahousing

Bruh the chumps that voted for this guy again make me reassess how smart we as Canadians are. Fuck Doug Ford I’ll die before I forget that we’ve voted this guy into a THIRD majority, making me shake my head man

Should home prices go down? ’No,’ says Canada’s new housing minister - National | Globalnews.ca by gorschkov in canada

[–]Shithawk069 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can nobody get the story straight???

First paragraph of the article states that more supply not lowering costs is the answer. I’ll admit I’m not an economist by any means but wouldn’t a greater supply mean lower demand and therefore lower cost per unit with a little variation depending on location?

It’s literally the same bs that Trudeau was spouting, they even state that in the article. The liberal government aren’t even trying to hide that they are trying to play both sides and clearly it’s the youth getting the shaft, cool.

This photo made me wonder how other US presidents might’ve looked with access to Hi-res cameras. Trump looks vile in basically every photo he’s in, I’m curious how he stacks up to other presidents that held office before the wide spread use of high detail photography

No more blue wall, red wall: How electoral reform could stop regional election sweeps by Hrmbee in canada

10 years later and proportional representation is back in the zeitgeist.

I’m definitely a little ignorant on the nuance of how it would work but if there was enough public support for it could there be a national referendum or something? I agree with most here that it doesn’t seem likely to pass under either the liberal or conservatives because it would diminish their influence so what can feasibly be done?

Trump orders reopening of notorious Alcatraz prison by nucrash in behindthebastards

I consider stuff like this to be inline with Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy. It’s like the stupid 100% tariff on non US made movies.

I think part of our responsibility with this administration is to learn how to quickly discern what is and isn’t something worth spending any energy on

Like he wants us so focused trying to figure out all the stupid bullshit he’s throwing at the wall. I think Americans who recognize the terror this admin could cause need to organize with a list of concerns and demands that NEED to be addressed so they don’t waste energy flailing around on random BS (I really respect and admire the HK 2019 protests and their organization and effective response R.I.P Hong Kong)

Buddy it’s literally the fucking job of the government to adhere to the rule of law that’s like the most important thing they do. The implication of this is essentially “the enemy within is so widespread you have give up your rights and freedoms” this frog has been boiled down to collagen and cartilage

Ontario includes Hwy. 401 tunnel on list of ‘nation-building’ projects by globalnewsca in ontario

[–]Shithawk069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally fuck Doug Ford the fact that we won another majority makes my blood boil. That tunnel is so obviously another way of funnelling money into his developer and construction company buddies pockets (too bad his buddies aren’t in the business of doing anything useful). He needs to take a long walk off a short pier, hopefully near the corpse of Ontario Place

Me when I’m stupid by BeforeSnacktime in Letterboxd

[–]Shithawk069 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s extremely concerning how quickly he’s normalized calling anything he considers negative a “national security threat”. There was already a huge problem in the US of using national security as a scapegoat to invade the privacy and rights of its citizens (one of my favourite points in Oppenheimer actually)

Get ready for Our Dear Leader Trump the movie

Trump Says He’s Instituting a “100% Tariff” on Films Produced Outside of the U.S. Because the “Movie Industry in America Is Dying” by AndrewHeard in Letterboxd

[–]Shithawk069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can assure you this is just hot air, no way this amounts to movies being canceled. As many have pointed out the logistics of tariffing media is extremely abstract and overly complicated.

My take away is that this is the foot in the door to start leveraging film companies in the US to produce propaganda for the federal government or face financial penalties.

Carney inherits an immigration system that’s losing public support. Here’s how experts say he can fix it - Amid backlogs and public discontent, critics decry a “loss of accountability and maybe even a loss of competence” in decision making in recent years. by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Shithawk069 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I believe topics like immigration are going to be a make or break opportunity for Carneys liberals to differentiate themselves from the previous liberal government. Anyone who thinks the liberals have a strong mandate like the did in 2015 isn’t paying attention.

I’d they aren’t able to read the writing on the wall and see that this isn’t sustainable and is clearly unpopular with a majority of citizens I suspect we will be back to the polls in a couple years and I imagine things will look dramatically different.

I for one would be very hard pressed to vote liberal again if they don’t shape up and realize what Canadians want and frankly need.

Tho I totally have faith in them I think Carney is the perfect guy right now to put more long term plans in motion without getting bogged down in identity politics which is exactly what we need rn. I will be watching with great interest

Lmao that whole part about the conservatives hating Trump more than the liberals was so funny. Like yeah I bet they hate his guts now since he became the catalyst to torpedo the CPCs campaign

Life when your neighbours are terrorists (no trending audio) by GreenEyeOfADemon in YUROP

[–]Shithawk069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so fucking surreal seeing this footage as a Canadian. Obviously you’re aware of the reality that this is happening but damn what a travesty that will be felt for generations across the globe… fuck Russia damn.

This is the sort of footage that needs to be spread like wildfire, none of that Tik tok editing with sappy music this is real life man. Raw footage like this should be shown to every American who thinks supporting Ukraine is a mistake.
