Hoekstra is just another Nazi fuck, feigning outrage. Weird to make him ambassador to Canada, but we'll continue to go our own way and ignore the ravings.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/44343977 Before the Usual Time is a short book (180 pages) that spans multiple indigenous cultures. I appreciated getting a taste of each of the authors' experiences and cultures, and the poems are approachable for those new to poetry. The stories are inventive and the writing is excellent. I'd highly recommend it!

All of those Americans screaming about the Second Amendment, and absolutely nothing to show for it even as an actual fucking tyrannical government is undermining their country. Well armed militia my ass.

Karma Co-op in Karma Ln, close to Bathurst.

Montreal's roads are mostly paid for by property taxes, sales tax and business taxes. Cars are actually a burden and the city would do better and could drastically reduce spending on road maintenance if it increased transit and bike infrastructure. It'd also help with congestion.

You guys keep stealing shitty ideas from the US. We’ve been privatizing state park reservations for years and making it cost as much as a cheap hotel in some places. And the bathrooms are worse than when you shoved $5 a night into a metal tube by the entrance.

A soldier with a gun is the most fundemental element of a military or resistance. if you dont have that in order, you're in serious trouble

Takeover the complete control of the car? Maybe not complete control, but maybe taking away breaks yes: https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/ Miller and Valasek’s full arsenal includes functions that at lower speeds fully kill the engine, abruptly engage the brakes, or disable them altogether. The most disturbing maneuver came when they cut the Jeep's brakes, leaving me frantically pumping the pedal as the 2-ton SUV slid uncontrollably into a ditch.

It happens to states that feel they are the ones providing a nation all the wealth but get an unbalanced return of benefits from the nation. So someone gets the idea that the state would thrive, economically, if they were able to spend their earnings on themselves, as though the nation is holding them back. Applying common logic, though, most people don't acknowledge any of the pros for all of the cons. But there are some—imagine a nationalist mindset for their state/ region if you will—that think it's the right thing to do because the current setup is "unfair".

Road to hell is almost always paved with “good intentions”. Then some fuck comes around and twists/corrupts the whole idea.

#Letstalk about nationalization.

Fuck that. Let the bastards suffer. Keep finding new markets and do not return. We don't need their business or the influence that comes with it. They are not trustworthy in any way.

Anything that moves Canada towards food independence/security is a step in the right direction.

At this point, conservatism is nothing more than coming up with fantastically irrational fever dreams of non-existent issues, and then getting mad about it.

And exactly what did we do with the First Nations lands in Southern Ontario? There is absolutely no doubt that the environment would be collateral damage. It always has, always will be. The trade-off will never go away. But the Rideau Canal system was done in an environmentally friendly manner, and so too could this venture.

I can also be a communist while using a capitalist built computer... so what?

Conrad Black rescinded his Canadian citizenship so he could get inducted into the British House of Lords. He's a piece of shit who'll do anything to benefit himself. Fuck him.

What's amazing to me is that society views carding as wrong, rightfully so in my opinion. However our laws allow the police to stop anyone driving at any time for no reason and demand ID.. and a breath sample, upto and including two hours after you've driven. I wish we didn't live in a "papers please" country.

You say that because you're a reasonable person and not a profit maximizing sociopath, sorry, I meant capitalist. So long as our system idiotically conflates a means to satisfy people's basic needs for shelter with an investment vehicle for which line must go up, the implication that we are talking about "houses people can actually live in", is not a given.
