…it’s not a capital “i”, it’s a lowercase L. Thus the joke; it’s “I’m LN” instead of the usual “I’m in”.
Get a distro running XFCE, slap the Chicago95 theme on it, and try to convince your friends that their computer updated to the latest version of Windows.
“Indigenous people fought each other and did bad things, therefore committing a genocide is OK.”
What a lovely & compelling argument.
Also, sorry for assuming you’d be able to recognize that “Canadian” included the history of British and French colonists in what became Canada.
This argument probably sounds really good if you completely disregard the past 300 or so years of Canadian-Indigenous relations.
There’s a difference between making money and hoarding wealth.
It’s beyond fucked that some people ignored a guy having a heart attack pleading for them to call 911.
In what way it obvious? I’ve seen so many people make similar “jokes” just to spread their hateful rhetoric.
If you want to make a joke like this, you should really use a sarcasm tag or similar indicators that they’re not your truly-held beliefs. Unfortunately modern conservatives have kicked Poe’s Law into overdrive, and if one leaves a comment like this one wihout a clear indication of sarcasm, people really have no choice but to assume they’re a bigot.
We can’t ask them, but if we could, I bet you the animals would have a few objections.
A Nazi Christian nationalist toured Canada this summer, people opposed had to get together in every single city and have there be substantial public outcry before local governments revoked his licenses to play.
So, Nazi? You’re fine, in line with Canadian values apparently. Critical of Israel in any way? BANNED FROM CANADA
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, we sell arms to Israel and we have parliamentary standing ovations for shitstains like Charlie Kirk.
This one sentence on the article pretty much summarizes the problem:
It’s not surprising these groups check out of politics, especially when there is mounting evidence that legislators favour higher status voters.
The two main parties can barely pretend to give a fuck about the poors anymore, and the NDP has basically regressed to being equivalent of the Liberals a decade ago. The Federal Greens are a joke.
I only vote because I’m queer and the Conservatives have a much more aggressive form of homophobia than the Libs.
Québec doesn’t have a crown corp telecom, but Vidéotron is a major player there.
I’ve no experience with them (when I briefly lived in Montréal my internet was with TekSavvy) so I can’t comment on how they compare with Rogers/Bell.
Things that are violent:
Imprisoning and deporting innocent immigrants
State-sanctioned murder of black people via police
Legislating away the human rights of trans people
Forcing women to give birth against their will
The real illiberal, fundamentalist, totalitarian terrorists are on the right. I didn’t shed a tear for Kirk and I wouldn’t for PP or JK, either.
2015 will be the last federal election under first-past-the-post!

(I don’t disagree with your comment, I just think it says more about the sorry state of things than it does Trudeau.)
Don’t underestimate how much American MAGA rhetoric has infiltrated Canada. A lot of people here are bigoted against immigrants, queers, natives, or [INSERT MARGINALIZED GROUP HERE].
Even in my heavily Liberal city, I’ve heard someone suggest a homeless hunting season (as in, a season to hunt homeless people). I’ve seen a guy rage because city hall was flying a Pride flag. I’ve heard people say they’re scared to go to the mall because there’s too many immigrants now.
I do truly think most people I encounter have their hearts in the right place, but I’m often surprised at what some of them say, even the ones who seem nice. Unfortunately, I think this rightward shift represents more of the population than we’d like to admit.
The fact that a woman wearing a spaghetti-strap tank top and being expressive immediately makes you assume she’s a porn actress says a lot about you.
yet they offer up zero solutions as to how to acquire the funds to support the programs receiving cuts.
They do have that for the Steam Deck.
