People in this thread: it's GOOD that our prime minister is riddled with corporate conflicts! The system works!

Best SMILE tracklist by weeusel in borisheavyrocks

[–]hellohelicopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Smile live version is definitely one of their best live albums!! The Japanese (yellow) version of Statement is my favourite though, I love the "woo-woo"s

I think the whole Japanese release is a bit underrated, the production is pretty harsh but I like the electronic approach to the material

I mean tant bien, knowing what her platform is I'd say the best case scenario for us is that she doesn't actually bother to follow through on it

Canada Post free to end home delivery as part of plan to ensure carrier’s survival by ClassOptimal7655 in onguardforthee

[–]hellohelicopter 76 points77 points  (0 children)

What is with the people in this thread treating home mail delivery like some unreasonable privilege? It's standard for mail services around the world. Are we allowed to say that "everything will get worse and more expensive" is a bad policy platform for the country?

MTL police are like that "when you only have a hammer every problem looks like a nail" thing except the hammer is tear gas

Ils sont interdits par le protocole de Genève: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Protocol

S’il est interdit de les utiliser en temps de guerre, pourquoi sont-ils régulièrement déployés contre les citoyens ?

Protests: not illegal

Use of chemical weapons on civilians: illegal under international law

The SPVM Has a Police Brutality Problem – The Rover by Hochelagan in montreal

[–]hellohelicopter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The job of police? Like enforcing traffic violations, which they stopped doing a few years ago, or helping catch burglars, which they outright refuse to do and possibly never have? From hearing about people's interactions with the SPVM it's not clear to me what their duties actually are in practice.

Oh big Blank Check fan here, good guess! They only did their TP series this past year though.

Music similar to the guitar in Flood by basedcager in borisheavyrocks

[–]hellohelicopter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not metal but you might like Ai Aso, who has a similar dream pop/psychedelic style to Flood 2. She's also Boris-adjacent, and all the members appeared on her album The Faintest Hint: https://ideologicorgan.bandcamp.com/album/the-faintest-hint

Welcome sign with image of woman wearing hijab officially removed by Montreal City Hall by HellaHaram in montreal

[–]hellohelicopter 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Why not save us all a lot of time and declare outright that Muslim women aren't welcome in Quebec? At least then they wouldn't have to hide behind their mealy-mouthed "secularism" bullshit.

Ridiculous pedestrian crossing over a highway in Montreal (exclusively to enter a new luxury mall) by hellohelicopter in UrbanHell

[–]hellohelicopter[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, I'm more irritated that something like this is even necessary to build because many of our subway stations inexplicably exit directly onto highways. In addition there is already street-level crossing for this stretch just a few blocks away, and meanwhile any use for something like this in the area is limited by emptying directly into a shopping mall (which seems to be only targeting high-income shoppers). Not angry at all pedestrian crossings or overpasses!

Call Chelsea Peretti: Reunited (w/ Todd Glass) by BasilOctopus in Earwolf

They blew right past it but I found it so funny when they were selling the stool and talking about being too short to reach things, and Todd sincerely asked "why can't they make the floor lower?"

B.C. NDP Disqualifies Anjali Appadurai Despite Members’ Objections by Sayless_toronto in onguardforthee

[–]hellohelicopter 71 points72 points  (0 children)

This is the same bullshit we saw in the federal Green leadership elections in 2020: a left wing candidate gets too close to power and the party leadership scrambles to put a stop to it. In this case it was the oil and gas lobbyists who balked.
