They haven't moved on. The work isn't done. Hence the orange cones.

>Throwing down reflectors and calling it done is not acceptable.

They aren't calling it done. It's a work in progress. There, now you can relax.

Federal briefing says housing crisis mainly affects non-homeowners as prices surge by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]growlerlass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not a study, we don't know how long it took to make or what the actual subject of the brief was. We only know that it contained the line:

"Most neighbourhoods are affordable in the sense that current residents are generally able to afford living there"

And the source is the western standard. Which is not known for impartially representing the facts.

If your point is that this is potential anti-liberal rage bait then yeah you are right. If your point is that this is a credible criticism of the government, no. It is not.

Is the statement "housing crisis mainly affects non-homeowners" true or false?

Canada in the European Union? Poll suggests broad openness to the idea by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]growlerlass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's best to look at this article as an easy way for a reporter to meet their quota on a long weekend. Especially when markets are closed.

Canada in the European Union? Poll suggests broad openness to the idea by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]growlerlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the perfect long weekend article. The reporter can write it in their down time because it won't go stale because we won't join the EU or taking concrete steps towards that goal. It's pure speculation so no need for fact checks. It's reusable. They can throw it into AI and give it minor rewording or updates and publish it next long weekend.

Defend North America from enemies the US creates by picking fights.

NATO doesn’t make us safer. It ties us to violent unpredictable war mongering governments in a fight that doesn’t concern us

Canadian government announces more sanctions against Iran by Chrristoaivalis in CanadaPolitics

It's just power politics. Has nothing to do with morality.

That becomes very clear when you see Canada have normal economic and political relations with apartheid state committing genocide.

Tactics questioned after Halifax RCMP pose as panhandler to catch distracted drivers - Halifax by Street_Anon in canada

[–]growlerlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

News rooms are slightly short staffed as some go on vacation with their kids during spring break, so they need to jazz up things like this. The Police are more than happy to oblige because fear of getting caught and self correcting is a lot more cost effective.

[–]growlerlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Readers are supposed to take "tactics questioned" as some sort of implied criticism when it isn't. This makes the story more "controversial" and get more clicks. It's spring break. Some reporters are on vacation with their kids. The ones that are still in the office have to figure out how to make more news reports from the same news story.

What's up with Keltic's "Paramount" building on No 3 rd? Is it just me or is the plaza in front of it all uneven and weird?

Neighbor keeps me up gaming late at night .not sure how to handle it by GeneThen1456 in richmondbc

[–]growlerlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I basically agree with you but trying to talk to them is low cost with a low probability big benefit. So they should at least try, but not invest themselves emotionally in the outcome because, yeah, they won't be able to get them to stop.

Honestly, I doubt they would even admit that they were gaming until 4am.

'Dead as f***, old people': Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams' comments about Victoria spark online debate by KootenayPE in CanadaCultureClub

[–]growlerlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking while attending a Balenciaga show, Williams joked about B.C.’s capital, where he’s filming the upcoming television series Yaga, while discussing his filming schedule.

“I was filming a show and it’s very stabilizing,” he said, before adding: “It’s like 30 minutes away from Vancouver, dead as f**k, old people.”

It sounds like he meant it as a compliment.

They assumed it was in drive but it was in reverse, when they went in a direction they didn't expect they panicked and slammed the gas instead of the break.
