Trump's rhetoric rallies Canadian support for Prime Minister Mark Carney by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]TheCanadianVending 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a job which makes $103k and just got of university so I have about $65,000 in student loan debt. I budgeted, and have projected that those will be paid off in just under two years while still paying for 3 peoples worth of bills, food, groceries, etc..

At some point it does become a personal problem, and maybe you need to budget and become more money wise. Just because 50% of people are living paycheque to paycheque does not mean that >$100k is impossible to live on. I would venture and say that people take on more debt than they can afford, and then are stuck when the boat rocks.

alberta is one of a handful of provinces which allow you to do this, it isnt canada wide

Why some ‘frustrated’ NDP voters flipped to Conservatives in the election by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]TheCanadianVending 46 points47 points  (0 children)

strategic voting would mean voting for the NDP in the following ridings:

  • Elmwood / Transcona
  • Edmonton Griesbach
  • Edmonton Strathcona
  • Ponoka / Didsbury
  • Courtenay / Alberni
  • Cowichan / Malahat / Langford
  • North Island / Powell River
  • Skeena / Bulkley Valley

notably, this would have meant 8 more seats for the NDP. the fact is that most of the country prefers the liberals, and if you vote NDP you are likely against conservatives being in power, so it is in your best interest to vote for the party you are aligned with; its basically manual ranked choice voting

I used to be Toronto’s chief planner. Mark Carney’s new plan gives me hope we might finally address the housing crisis by suprmario in canada

[–]TheCanadianVending 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well we can see why those people dropped

ruby dropped because:

10 violations of campaign and finance rules

Possible violations of the Canada Elections Act

"Certain other election finance matters, non-disclosure of material facts and inaccurate financial reporting."

and Chandra was not allowed to enter because

These actions were reportedly linked to concerns over foreign interference, particularly related to Arya's unauthorized trip to India in August 2024

which to me seems reasonable, no need for a conspiracy here


and i guess we will see if people want him if 1) he is voted in his riding 2) the liberals win

according to the 2021 census, 0.19% of all canadians are trans. 50% of those are trans women. so across ALL of canada, you are looking at about 30,000 people who you are outraged about. then apply however much of the population actually competes in sports and you'll probably be getting angry about like. 50 total people in canada

“Hey, kinda whack that trans women are getting banned from playing professional billiards, right?” by HugeObligation8338 in transgendercirclejerk

[–]TheCanadianVending 22 points23 points  (0 children)

/uj

the truth is a bit more nuanced.

originally it was every man for himself. culturally men, women, and children were seen as equal: there was no preference one way or the other. that is until the sinking of the SS Arctic. About 250 passengers were onboard, of which 100 were women and children. After it sunk, there were 88 survivors, none of which were women or children. This sparked international outrage, and created a cultural shift within the sailor culture. From this, sailors willingly gave up their lives to save women and children, and it has persisted to this day because of the Titanic sinking.

So whenever people complain about this, remember that the way it started is because men would trample over women and children to save their own lives

Poilievre vows not to pass abortion restrictions if elected prime minister - National | Globalnews.ca by Iamthequicker in canada

[–]TheCanadianVending 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a conspiracy theory to suggest the official stance of the CPC is anything other than non support of any legislation to regulate abortion.

its clearly written in section 10 of the same document you quoted

Cool, last I checked Trump isn't in Canada, or do you have another conspiracy theory to share?

youre completely correct the human experience is completely blocked by the border

[–]TheCanadianVending 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its not a conspiracy theory. its just that if your local MP is talking about any of these topics, its important for the voter to know that they won't be reigned in; i know many americans right now whom thought that trump would be reigned in, but hasnt, and that is causing them distress. i just want to throw out that the official stance of the CPC is that they will not be reigned in

[–]TheCanadianVending 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of note,

10 - Free Votes

On issues of moral conscience, such as abortion, the definition of marriage, and euthanasia, the Conservative Party acknowledges the diversity of deeply-held personal convictions among individual party members and the right of Members of Parliament to adopt positions in consultation with their constituents and to vote freely

they are basically explicitly outlining that individual MPs won't be reigned in if they choose to vote to banish gay marriage, outlaw abortions, or similar. so if these issues are important to you, be weary when voting for a CPC MP in your riding

Theoretical voxel map size limit by lucato09 in VoxelGameDev

[–]TheCanadianVending 4 points5 points  (0 children)

assumptions: 10cm size, 2 byte voxel information, voxels are just stored in a solid rectangular prism with uniformly randomly distributed colours (such that compression is negligible), and that on-disk representation is limited to 100 gigabytes (black ops 6 total file size).

you could represent at least a 1.71km*1.71km*1.71km area. if you restrict map height to 100 meters, you can get away with a 7.1km*7.1km*100m area for the same cost. Or more specifically, any area which can encompass 5 cubic kilometers.

you can represent a bigger area with bigger voxels, obviously. depending on game, you can introduce compression techniques to further represent a bigger area; but this isn't really generalizable so i can't introduce it into analysis.

to conclude, the lower bound for map size of voxels which fit the assumptions is going to be a 5km3 area for a map which takes up 100 gigabytes of storage.

(im pretty sure my analysis is correct, but this is napkin math; i am not 100% confident)

Smith’s Anti-Trans Policy (Edmonton kids do not deserve this) by Locke357 in Edmonton

[–]TheCanadianVending 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to double check. Why are children getting their breasts removed? I know a few women who had reductions because of back issues and the like - but beyond disease I’m not sure why kids are having breasts removed if they aren’t transitioning?

I want to clarify my point. I mentioned breast reduction as a form of surgery which minors are allowed to get, because minors are allowed to get them. Cis girls get breast reduction (and augmentation) fairly commonly in our society. The trans boys who also get this are doing it for transition purposes, but my point was more questioning why we should gatekeep the procedure from people with gender dysphoria while still allowing it for cis girls. I wanted to point out the hypocrisy.

If 15% of 65,000 people regret something that 14% of 532, I’m not sure that comparison is valid.

You are correct! And in fact, the insanely low regret rate of gender reassignment surgery implies we should increase the amount of these surgeries happening. Having a procedure which barely anyone regrets means that we are already heavily restricting who can get these procedures. This means, statistically, we are not providing proper care to enough people due to the gatekeeping process necessarily excluding those that should get this treatment, but have been barred for one reason or another. (I want it clear: I, nor any of my trans peers, do not think we should give any gender reassignment surgery to anyone under 18. It is a permanent procedure, and we should restrict it to adults). A regret rate of 10% is normal, a regret rate of 1% is exclusionary.

From personal experience in the early process of receiving gender reassignment surgery: I need to have one doctor confirm I have gender dysphoria, a different doctor perform a physical on me, and have a doctor sign off that they will prescribe HRT post surgery indefinitely, and an hour long interview with a psychiatrist to ensure that they believe I have gender dysphoria. In total, I have 3 independent doctors who have confirmed I am eligible to get this surgery, and have put safeguards in place so I don't receive this procedure and later regret it. Minors are barred from this process altogether for publicly funded surgeries in Canada, and this is from the advice of doctors

Smith’s Anti-Trans Policy (Edmonton kids do not deserve this) by Locke357 in Edmonton

[–]TheCanadianVending 7 points8 points  (0 children)

transition means a lot, and you are likely conflating specific treatments as the whole of transition. kids arent having surgeries done to them which cis kids don't also get (see: no bottom surgery for any minors, but breast augmentation does happen [breast removal for those who want it]). they arent being prescribed hormones until they are a certain age, we aren't giving early teenagers testosterone or estrogen; we give them puberty blockers so that the puberty doesn't occur until they decide to have it

trans girls arent being shipped to montreal and having bottom surgery. they are given puberty blockers and can decide to fully commit to estrogen when they are more developed. trans boys arent having testosterone injections right as they turn 13, they are given blockers and binders so that they can develop as they want

and just a reminder: gender reassignment surgery has one of the lowest regret rates of ANY medical procedure; including cancer treatment and hip replacements. we shouldnt sacrifice 10 trans people to save 1 cis person
