I wouldn't want to eat deep-freeze-dried meat anyway.

You can't remove the right to strike. That's dictatorship-level behaviour. Fuck the NSW govt. Solidarity from Canada.

I just wish I could have had a better health story. Tumor as a baby, shunt breaking at 32, and numerous mental health crises in between.

Quick! Who has a sick superspreader kid? You could be a hero with one simple trick!

I'm waiting to see if the budget actually passes. If not, NDP is heading into an election without an official leader (although I think Don Davies has done serviceably well as interim leader, I don't imagine he wants the gig full time).

That would mean aligned with Russia. So...not exactly wrong any more, I guess? Lol

Ha, and I actually used to know the difference between typeface and font, but my memory of graphic design classes has waned a bit since 2005 when I took that program in college, so I had to look it up and refresh myself, full disclosure. More to the point - I think we can both agree that USA is democratically backsliding. Part of that is a lack of education being trusted by many. If we can't even remember what terms like First and Second World were supposed to mean, it just feeds into the misinformation maelstrom that produces far-right types calling anything exhibiting human decency "communist", "woke", or other inaccurate terms meant to belittle them.

I am here for this. So many Canadians in the entertainment industry relocate to Cali. Hell, it was even what drew the NHL into southern expansion. If Gretzky had never been traded to Los Angeles, I am betting that the NHL would be confined to Canada and the northern US (places that actually get snow, goddammit!) to this day.

Edit: I know that mountainous regions in even tropical countries get snow, but the culture of hockey/winter sports in general doesn't exist in warm-weather locales for a pretty obvious reason - people don't experience cold winter weather there.

"I love the poorly educated"

 

"Hundreds of thousands of households are without power Tuesday morning across Quebec after a first night of relentless snowfall brought as much as 35 centimeters of snow to parts of the province. Some school boards are asking that students stay at home."

Again I ask, why are our transmission lines not underground? Is it because it is too difficult to dig into the Canadian Shield or something? I live in Sudbury, so I am not one of the effected, but it seems bad that deep into the 21st century we can still have power outages like this that impact so many of our citizens.
