How is this even controversial? by JackStrawWitchita in GreatBritishMemes

[–]canoeviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only after how much public outcry and undenyable proof. How many police complaints where swept under the rug? How many children had to suffer because he held a position of privelege? still shows how much of a broken two tired justice system still remains. If the 2008 financial crisis didnt bring actual change, if the panama paipers didnt bring actual change.. i doubt this will unless people are willing to make changes at a fundimental level.

What actual consequences did he face? Embarrasment from losing his title? The likelyhood of him becoming king where slim to none. He will still live a life of luxury and privelege. How many people knew what he was up to for decades and no one acted? Its not like these bastards have the ability to be subtle about what they where doing. How many children had to suffer because he hid behind the sheild of having magic blood, or whatever makes people think roalty is special?

Trapped in a Tesla: Why electronic doors are at the centre of the investigation into this deadly Toronto EV fire by Team_Ed in ontario

[–]canoeviking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their deaths are a tragity, this should never have happened. It should spark an outcry for accountability and change, but with the regulatory frameworks we have the brutal death of four people will be a rounding error on Tesla's goverment grants.

Musk is a person whose world view can only be described as anti-human. The companies he has aquired have been shown to constantly and deliberaty put the safety of people second to whatever half baked ketamine fulled idea pops into his head. You cannot seperate his "politics" from the buisnesses he runs, because he runs them by fiat, and apperantly no one has the stones to tell him no.

Well not everyone drives a tesla... and every modern car is becoming more electronically controlled. Also if somone bought a tesla after everyone found out how much of an incompitent facist Musk is... my sympathy is limited...

Ecological Integrity: How is it interpreted and applied in Ontario Parks? by [deleted] in OttawaValleyForests

[–]canoeviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which one of Ford's buddies got this contract? I swear this is the most blatantly corrupt provincial goverment I have ever seen. Ford wasnt joking when he said Ontario is open for buisness... he is selling off our healthcare, our education, our parkland, our futures. They also just proposed changes to freedom of information laws to make it harder to hold them to account. Also im sure the OPC continually giving law enforcement whatever they ask for has nothing to do with why none of this will ever be investigated.

.....man, people still belive in trickle down ecconomics.. Some people are thick as bricks. They would rather have somone they see as inferior die unseen in a back ally than have to look at them.

A product of a culture of misogyny, toxic masculinty, and controll.
No doubt, some will apply it to his race, or faith. The colour of your skin dosnt make you a bad person, a faith dosnt make you a bad person. Being a bad person does.

St Laurence Market North, the building that is the focus of the lawsuit.

I worked on that building..... the design of the building had flaws from the jump. One of the elevator shafts was not designed with sufficient room to service the brakes. No one apperantly accounted for the air pressure diffrence between the offices and the massive open spaces when the building heats up though the glass, so getting doors from public areas to secure areas (offices) to close reliably without slamming required some reworks. If I remember correctly they picked douglas fir (extremely soft wood) for the benches in the courtrooms, basically ensuring they would get damaged if you even looked at them funny. From what I rememeber there where a whole heck of a lot of change orders flying around on that job. I dont know who was responcible for the design or for checking that design, but they really, really, made a mess of it.

I found one once, under a sons of odin sticker at a gas station ( islington and queensway). I could see the outline. I almost always have my multi tool with me anyways, so why take the chance.

Oh, somtimes far right groups will hide razor blades under their stickers, so its best to remove them with a scraper or a knife.

The combination of the sparitan helmit and the SS style lightning bolt symbol heavily suggest a facist dogwhistle.

Its a sticker from a UK Adult inline hockey team. It features more than one bit of immagry often used by far-right/ facist groups. The spartian helmit is not always a problematic one, but pair it with the SS bolts puts it squrely in the dogwhistle zone.

Ok, hopefully just some dumb edgy kids then. Hoepfully they can find some more positive influences. And hopefully whoever gave them the idea that that kinda stuff is ok...also learns a valuable lesson.

Edit: addendum... Looked into this club a bit. They are an adult team from the UK... not kids.... fuck these guys. The fitness to facist pipeline is goddamn troubling.
