I mean, Canada doesn’t have much to do with the conflict and has a lot of its own problems but yeah, I guess PP being outrageous to get publicity is pretty on brand.




responding to real worker shortages

There is no such thing. In a capitalistic free market, the price of labour is set by the market. If the demand is more than the supply, that’s not a bad thing, that’s just the short amount of time that labour has some leverage, and it’s destroyed with increasing supply.



So there was a huge rise during the pandemic and things are going back to the way it was?

Well that should be okay as long as the country didn’t put all its eggs in the real estate basket cause and we are too smart to do that right? Right??


It’s due to capitalism, when the driver is maximize profit, why would one lower prices after “the market” pushed it higher?


Maybe with today’s batteries, but that can/should change.

There is also the whole North American train phobia.


Shouldn’t that mean we are, economically, in a better position than those tiny European countries?

I’m not too savvy but I always thought Canada’s economy is worse than the average Western European country. Maybe that’s not true either.


I listen and enjoy listening to CBC radio.

This would actually make my day to day life worse and I doubt he would give me a tax break that would be worth it.


Canada as a place to live instead of as a colonialist state that exists to serve corporations

And right there is the best summary I’ve seen for what is wrong with Canada


Extractive industry is heavily required if we’re going to get off fossil fuels

Can you explain why? As in, why does Canada need so much mining when there are other wealthy nations that don’t focus so much on it?

Maybe all nations do, idk


AI in a nutshell. Even it will tell you it’s not good enough.


My hope is that this whipsaws through the economy and hurts so many people so badly that a) we learn to never let it happen again, and b) that it emboldens governments to finally tax the shit out of the rich.

I’m so glad some people realize this: we are past the point of wishing things just get slowly better. History has taught me that in this world, when people are so apathetic to important issues, things need to get so bad sometimes so everyone gets a wake up call.


The parasitic part is not the building home part, but the charging you as much as they can part.

I know, I just described capitalism…


I still don’t understand how it’s legal to just buy your competition. Like every merger should just be illegal if the two companies are in the same industry.


How about UIs that are essentially web apps. I’m talking about needing to handle drag and drop, graphs and the like.

There is also the mess that is responsive design, multi browser support and proper accessibility.



That’s one thing I feel like is missing from the post legalized world. After years and years of propaganda and ruining people’s lives, an admission that they were wrong would be nice.

And it’s practical too, cause that can lead to thinking about attitudes towards other drugs.




I don’t get people’s criticism about this.

My friend tried to turn me against carbon tax by pointing out that I’m being taxed for keeping my home warm.

I told him, I don’t have to pay that tax if I upgrade to electric heating. And this is exactly what is good about it, it incentivizes someone like me to make an investment in electric heating.


Miller said some of those students come to Canada with the hope of a safe future and a successful career.

Who tells them this? I doubt it’s everyday Canadians.


That will show emm!

Everyone knows only muslims hate carcasses on the street!

/s just in case


Nah man, that’s just the demand for Canadian living increasing. Hence you need to pay more for something that is more in demand (Canadian worker).

Seriously, can someone point to any instance where free market dynamics were good for workers and the owner class didn’t cry about it?



This is the logical answer (so maybe not American?), as it would relate to how we handle data.

Also add 1 HDD = 1 TO


Ironically, this might be an area where machine learning could be beneficial.




Yeah, I think it makes little sense to have another programming language to create a regex but it sounds like a great regex inspect tool.

Keep everything in regex, want to change something complicated? You can translate it into this language, tweak it, then translate it back!


Obviously it’s a an act of protest so the months are officially remade to be alphabetically ordered.
