What? There’s absolutely no way we can interpret intent in this case - this could genuinely be a fair question asked in good faith.

“What about US tech?” could be interpreted a number of ways, from “are Canadians also divesting from US tech?” to “But Canadians aren’t divesting from US tech, what about that?”. There’s no reason to believe this person is going after the latter case here when “ok that’s retail, how’s tech doing?” is equally likely and imminently reasonable.

I’m fine to get dog piled here but I think you’ve assumed bad faith where there is no reason to make that assumption, especially after the user attempted to disambiguate in exactly the way I’ve described.

I’m also curious to see how Canadian usage of American tech companies has changed. I wonder if it got more people to quit Twitter finally.

Postmedia has a bunch of “* Star” papers and the Toronto Sun but notably not the Toronto Star.

I was pretty sure it was the Toronto Star that was Postmedia… I may be remembering incorrectly. I’m gonna delete my comment until I can verify.

But my province literally is on fire - that’s not hyperbolic. We have 20,000 people being evacuated as their towns are (your favorite!) literally burning down.

The guy I replied to is the one who started using the word “literally”:

Because the world wouldn’t be literally on fire, that’s hyperbole.

My province is literally on fire.

1. “Nothing is literally on fire.”
2. “My province is literally on fire.”
3. “You’re being hyperbolic because you used the word literally”
4. ???

Can you explain how what I said was hyperbole? Because it was all factually accurate.

100,000 hectares of my province burned last week because of drought conditions and unseasonally high temperatures. The resulting smoke caused my sports games to be cancelled. How can facts be hyperbolic?

Hi its only May and my province is already literally on fire to the point where my sports games are getting cancelled from air quality cconcerns.

You can export images to tarballs and import them to your local docker daemon if you want.

Not sure how podman manages local images.

Idea:

1. Setup inotifywait on your sources directory and rsync to keep directories in sync, and on change, build and run latest image
2. Setup inotifywait on your image tarball directory/file and on change import and run latest
3. Mount your source directory to a docker server image that supports hot reloading.

Indeed - stagnate prices and drive wage increases until the ratio is back down.

The scary part is even on the surface, a meaningful reduction in housing prices would have pretty rough consequences for us economically. We’ve spent 40 years building our entire financial system to the point where the majority of the median citizen’s net worth is in their home’s equity. Seeing any short term devaluation of housing in a significant way would effectively be reducing the median citizens ability to retire.

Probably the best we can hope for is price stagnation and modest but consistent decreases in housing prices while we decouple our economy from the false growth of real estate.

He’s also very clearly not just a neoliberal central banker - the housing plan calls for a new government agency that actually produces homes which is like, radically not neoliberal “let the market work” type solutioning.

Yeah I hope the fact that both the NDP and the LPC got screwed in BC on so many ridings causes their hopeful coalition government to actually implement voting reform this time.

I completely agree to be clear.

But “major party” means something in election parlance, and unfortunately because of all the required strategic voting, it means NDP won’t be at the next debate.

The election results (and polling on leader specifically) do not back that claim up.

Pierre is very not popular - when Trudeau quit he had a higher approval rating than Pierre. People this time were voting for the party, not for Pierre.

NDP aren’t even a major party anymore with 7 seats, sadly

For the record, I agree with you - I live in Manitoba, with the highest indigenous and Metis population and a poor province. First Nation’s people still suffer deep inequality and systemic barriers to success. That’s the disclaimer.

Canada has made a tremendous amount of progress socially and systemically in a very short period of time. 30 years ago residential schools were still operating. Many forms of discrimination were still legal and socially accepted. Open racism was much worse. Many more communities had no water supplies and no economic prospects, and no federal government support.

Canada has a long way to go - hundreds of years of oppression cannot be undone in 30 years. But the fact that we’re able to make progress so quickly is indicative of the fact that our society is free to push for these sorts of changes and see results. We have an Indigenous premier! That would have been entirely unthinkable just a third of a lifetime ago. Many forms of discrimination have been made illegal, federal funds have been directed for direct and indirect support, water plants have been built, languages are being taught and preserved, and the social perspectives are massively different. We have much work to do, but I don’t think we should be dismissive of the systems that have allowed us to do lots of work already.

I personally disagree, but I see I’m in the minority on that. Oh well /shrug

A headline can be unfortunately written without it being a grand conspiracy my guy. CBC is pretty good - this headline misses the mark imo as it hides the fact that they were convicted on some counts.

Gotta love how they try to hide the guilty verdict on some counts behind “not guilty of most”
