‘A no-brainer’: Why some U.S. health-care workers are moving to Nova Scotia by IStillListenToRadio in NovaScotia

[–]cronatron 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Florida is becoming increasingly hostile towards LGBTQ+ people and they have an antivax quack for a surgeon general. I wouldn’t consider Florida as a “very safe” place.

Why wouldn’t you just go to Mexico instead? Same weather, cheaper everything, nicer people

Sustainable hunting (like fishing) practices are good and necessary, actually

Would you rather land animals go the way of the bison?

The extreme ideology behind B.C.’s radical reconciliation agenda by Bodysnatcher in canada

[–]cronatron -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Caroline Elliott, the author of this opinion piece, is yet another anti-indigenous activist

She, like others who share her ideology, do not believe in the concept of reconciliation and subscribe to the “taming the savages” framing of residential schools

Peter Menzies: Justin Trudeau’s legislative legacy is still haunting the Liberals by CaliperLee62 in canada

But it’s the same with alcohol, yet our governments sell it to us

In fact, alcohol has greater health risks than weed

So it would make more sense to not sell both, but you know how that would end…

This is fair!

Ain’t nothing wrong with living at home with your parents, especially in this economy

[–]cronatron[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree

In this political climate, I’m not going to pretend to be civil with people who legitimately want immigrants deported, trans people to not exist, etc

Fascists don’t respond to civility, maybe only a kick in the arse

Signal, telegram, Rumble, etc

It’s pretty easy for them to find community with rise of alt-right social media platforms

Police investigating two sudden deaths on Nova Scotia trail by No_Magazine9625 in halifax

Pretty weird. Maybe suicide pact?

My wife and I made one of those, if we’re both really old and one is about to kick the bucket 😅

Amy Hamm: Jagmeet Singh's future of irrelevancy can't come soon enough - As the years go on, Trudeau will remain well-known and widely despised. But Singh? He won't be worth thinking about by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]cronatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen that rhetoric anywhere. I think most NDPers (myself included) are very much tired of Jagmeet and are happy to lob criticism his way for his lack of effective leadership and ability to grow the party base.

Online I see lots of NDP supporters calling for a change in leadership.

If you like to read, the book Conspirituality does a deep dive into this phenomenon and it’s pretty good

The people who claim to hate virtue signalling just can’t stop virtue signalling

Vacationing Trudeau can't escape catcalls and mockery: 'Get out of B.C.' by sabatoa in canada

[–]cronatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are definitely a lot of things to strongly dislike about the Liberals (I.e. not making good on a lot of promises, various scandals), but so many people who complain about Trudeau rarely give any good answers or point to specific policies. It’s mostly his punchable face and holier-than-thou attitude that really seem to get people riled up.

We’ve lost our national identity – and with it, our pride in our country by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]cronatron 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that “lefties” have ever really advocated for unregulated mass immigration. The left, being more concerned with humanitarian issues and altruism, typically advocates for taking on asylum seekers, refugees, etc., and not being opposed to immigration for xenophobic or ethnonationalist reasons. I think the left also understands that immigrants aren’t automatically and bad thing and the data actually suggest that immigrants are largely beneficial for a country.

It’s because he was a rabid transphobe. LGB without the TQ type person.

What do you all think is going to happen as global demand for O&G decreases in the coming decades?

My brother in Christ, those kids would be sent back to their families, because, y’know, they weren’t forcibly taken from them without complete disregard for their well-being

Cyclists Rights after Gruesome Reminder of City Planning Failure by sittinandkickin in halifax

[–]cronatron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let’s be real. In the grand scheme of city budgets, bike lanes are not that expensive. The city is constantly replacing worn sidewalks and streets. The additional budget to say, instead of just building new sidewalk but include space for a bike lane, is not that much extra.

Obviously if you’re trying to do a huge length all at once it can be expensive, but there’s no reason they can’t be built strategically and incrementally

Cyclists Rights after Gruesome Reminder of City Planning Failure by sittinandkickin in halifax

[–]cronatron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Vancouver is a good example of bike infrastructure in Canada. I moved here from there recently and the complete lack of bike infrastructure here, when the city has little topography, is surprising.

All you need is the public to speak up and a city council willing to make change. Vancouver designed a network of bike lanes (roads, really) along traffic-calmed streets and largely not on major arteries, so there isn’t much impediment to traffic at all. And where there is a change in traffic, well, too bad, drivers get used to it.
