This is frightening, dystopian stuff, and i don’t understand how police and govt allow for this.

I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I see it as modern day colonialism (i.e., implicit and explicit attitudes that the ‘in-group’ has the right to displace, eradicate, and fabricate whatever it wants to establish the social order it desires in other parts of the world) with deep historical roots. As a white-skinned person of European ancestry living in the land commonly known as Canada, watching the global power brokers’ actions surrounding the Israeli government’s genocide of the Palestinian people has helped me better understand the colonialist genocide that the country I call home was founded on in terms of relations between Turtle Island/North American Indigenous Peoples and the European colonizers. I saw a great quote on Lemmy recently, something like, “those who don’t know their history will repeat it; those who seek to eliminate or rewrite history seek to recreate it.”

Has Miez always liked belly scritches? Most sources say cats don’t like being pet on their belly, but Miez seems to love it

I’d never heard the scientific name before, and I thought it sounded a little Pythonesque lol. I know them more so by (house) sparrow, and we have them in Canada too. Looking at their Wiki page, it looks like they’re pretty much everywhere. I wonder if they’re the most widely-distributed amongst the global human population bird. I find them very cute, especially when they dust-bath

Yeah, this seems decent. It never seemed like Jalen had a spot on the Raptors anyway. Sacramento knows which McDaniels they traded for, right? (I’m just hatin’ lol)

Adam Silver’s got to love this. What an exciting cough marketable cough story for next season

I’ve never seen one of these before. It’s working with a limited colour palette, but that’s a good-looking (aesthetically pleasing) bird!

I love that :P

Right on!

I got the sense they were only seeking already-prepared foods, eg the doordash mention. Maybe there are no grocery stores that sell a plant-based milk or a soy-based burger near them, but I wouldn’t assume that to be the 100% case even if there are no vegan restaurants

You look really cute

I love the ambient light you captured in this one. I knew it was sunset-ish by looking at it

It sounds like you don’t cook at home that much and that picking up more of those skills would solve all of your problems. It can be overwhelming if you’re in the newer stages! I sort of still am lol. But learn 1 dish you like at a time, maybe get a simple vegan cookbook for ideas, or crowdsource easy vegan at-home meals here. If you’re a newer vegan and are into faux meats more so than lentils, for example, then shop around a figure out which products you like. (That might also be an easy way of translating known non-vegan recipes/meal ideas to vegan ones)

I love Chantal Hébert. She’s one of my favourite parts of CBC election coverage. What a rad Canadian

Fuck doug ford

I’d ask where can we get some more of that acid so we can forcefeed it to other politicians lol. Undermining the sovereignty of someone over their consciousness is not usually something I’m down with, but look at all the benefits you listed XD

CanadaLand is still on your list? https://www.readthemaple.com/i-went-to-jesse-browns-talk-on-the-slow-pogrom-in-media/

The last time this riding was held by a non-Liberal was 1993. (If you exclude the highly affluent areas of Toronto and the suburbs [both of which lean Conservative], Torontonians do not elect many Conservatives.) This is indeed worrying vis-a-vis the likelihood of a Conservative (majority) government in 2025

I hope you’re right! I have very little confidence in mainstream news media these day to do anything besides serve the interests of corporations and the wealthy. Recent examples: (coverage of) Colonialist genocide in Palestine, carbon ‘tax’, recent capital gains tax. This issue is compounded by how few Canadians read non-mainstream news. I know you do, but I think we’re clearly outliers since we’re on Lemmy

Called out in parliament, maybe, but not by anyone inclined to vote for him. I’ve never met a Conservative voter who thinks critically when it comes to voting (and I’ve met several with advanced degrees). Policy and performance don’t matter; they vote for ‘their team’ and based on beliefs - not evidence - that ‘conservatives are good with money’ and similar swill. It’s more like being a sports fan or a religious devotee than a rational elector, ime
