I don’t think there’s a group this guy wouldn’t be seen with.
Pride parade?
Attending a drag story hour?
Truth & Reconciliation ceremony?
Food Bank?

/r/toronto is a lot like /r/ontario that way, though /r/ontario it’s a little more hit-and-miss, depending on if you hurt a right-winger’s feelings that day. Normally it leans left, but if you say something even slightly risque (other than cheap jokes about Doug Ford) and someone gets their nose out of joint, it’ll get you banned.
I managed to a few days ago, comparing Doug Ford to the protagonist from Denis Leary’s song Asshole. That got me, in no short order, a Reddit Cares email (which I report, because those really are the lowest form of harassment) and a ban for a day alter when, I suppose, that same right winger caught flak for abusing Reddit Cares.
The time defore that was a suggestion that “things won’t improve in Ontario until the rich are afraid for their bank accounts, or the lives”. That got me another Reddit Cares message, which I complained about, and, yup, another ban.
My local sub (/r/Peterborough) is remarkably level-headed. I’ll give it credit.
/r/Canada’s a whole other level, though. Yikes.
I’ve read a variant of this that’s little more interesting, and useful, because it includes the backstory, as well as Canada’s role (which does overlap a lot of the US).
It’s not 100% accurate, largely because of urbanization, but you can see how we got to where we are today.
Doesn’t… doesn’t then OpenSSH client store keys in text files?
I’m trying to figure out how this is an issue, other than maybe Signal should be using an OS level keystore.
I went to a gay Muslim wedding a few years back. Somehow everyone didn’t kill each other.
Blaming religion for making people assholes robs them of their agency, letting them off the hook for being assholes organically and allowing the institution to shoulder the blame.
And now I’m thinking about the video for DJ Shadow & Run the Jewels’ Nobody Speak
Reform getting 14% is not a good sign. It’ll drive the Tories to be more populist, reactionary and, well, fascist.
It also looks like Labour doesn’t have anywhere near the mandate their seat share implies and they could be out in a few years, especially if they don’t do much to help common people, which Starmer seems to be implying by hewing to the neoliberal consensus.
We’ve seen this in other FPTP systems (Canada, the US) when the centre-left party runs to the right: it forces the centre-right to flirt with fascism and it leaves left-leaning voters disillusioned and angry.
The onus would be on the left-wing parties to deliver actual progress for people, but that’s not a problem with FPTP or PR: both systems have problems with neoliberal rot, where left- and centre-left parties forget they need to do things for citizens and not billionaires, and their progressivism devolves into green- and rainbow-washing.
The right has the same issue, only when they fail to deliver for citizens, they just scapegoat brown/Jewish/queer/whatever folk and start with progroms.
They won’t.
The Liberals would rather lose to the CPC for a cycle or two than implement PR, which a) drag the whole country leftward, economically, which the donor class doesn’t want, and b) would see them never realize a majority government.
Many that weren’t based on x86 microcompters could do this: Tandem, I mean, Compaq, I mean HP NonStop machines, Sun Ultra Enterprise as you mentioned, IBM s390 and System-Z, several HPUX systems, I’m sure there’s others.
As a Canadian, I can’t imagine our governments spending money on fake potholes when we’re rich in the real thing.
I mean, after poutine and sex clubs it’s what everyone remembers about Montreal.
Technically, every religion has it’s extremists. Blaming the religion robs these assholes of agency; they’d be like this if they were athiests.
Why is this fascism? Seems like good old fashioned religious intolerance and violence.
Which, let’s be honest, tends to be best buddies with fascism…
Meanwhile, the Americans have legalized murder in politics.
“We clearly haven’t made the working class desperate enough yet. Let’s have immigrants and students fight over jobs to make everything even nastier!”
I’m sure this won’t in any way result in a huge cohort of angry underemployed young people. No siree.
I’m also starting to think that businesspeople aren’t the Galtian ubermenchen that they think they are, given that they by and large can’t plan more than six months in advance.
It’s a collective “you”. Europe went all-in on Right- parties, and squaring that with “tax the rich” is challenging.
“Going to be”?
If this is something you want, you shouldn’t be voting for right-wingers, then, should you?
Disney will just cry and whine about how their streaming service isn’t making enough money.
And that’s their problem. Not ours.
Their failure to develop a business strategy shouldn’t mean that the rest of the world should pay for it. Netflix made money back when they were the de facto streaming service, maybe the old model of vertically integrated production & distribution doesn’t work any more, and maybe, just maybe, they should try catering to consumers who just want a one-stop shop , instead of trying to muscle in on every segment of the supply chain?
As a society, we should never have let content producers and content distributors merge. And while we can’t do anything about Disney in Canada, we could, eg, force Bell to turn back time and split into it’s network and production businesses. Same for Rogers. Same for Shaw and so forth.
