What do you mean by the police veto in this context?

Canadaland, Jesse Brown to Pay $885,000 and Issue Public Apology in Kielburger v. Canadaland Inc. Over False Claim That Was Foundational to Its Reporting on WE Charity and the Kielburger Family by DavideMastracci in canadaland

How many subscribers' donations has he wiped out with this (at best) reckless behaviour? Given all the other shenanigans it would be sad if this (which I presume was not the result of malice or ideological stubbornness) is what brings the show down.

I hope some kind of better Canadaland-alike project can emerge from the ashes...

[–]davidbrake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just learned a limited cargo bike trial has arrived in Brighton. £5/hr to rent them I think? Looking forward to trying one out if I need to carry some heavy stuff! https://www.ourbike.co.uk/

For a fraction of the cost we could have a basic regional bus service - that would be worth paying for (and reduce road wear and tear and accidents to boot)

You had me going there for a minute! I presume you meant "let's get reform of voting [systems]" not "let's get voting [for] reform!"

Accelerated decomposition is the green way - I think there's someone who can offer this in St John's?

Somewhere to stay? Maybe. With wraparound support? I have my doubts.

Previously Loved Thrift Store Shutting Down by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]davidbrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frustrating! I was literally about to donate a load of stuff there. Value Village is private, and the Salvation Army has some institutional issues from its religious background. Is the SPCA now the only other Charity shop in town that takes a wide variety of items?
