Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?
When officers approached the car, it quickly drove off. Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.
The driver was arrested and officers discovered he had a quantity of methamphetamine in his possession.
The investigation also revealed the same vehicle was involved in an erratic driving incident on Pembina Highway a day prior.
Yeah, sounds like a real upstanding citizen.
I’d be quite surprised if this did not later have to be re-litigated.
That’s the state of indigenous relations in Canada in a nutshell. Constant relitigation, with very little progress.
Even when the courts direct specific settlements, the government does everything it can to avoid paying them.
This is a case of Fun With Commas - Sobeys is owned by a different obscene conglomerate, Empire Company.
Metro, Walmart, Giant Tiger, and Empire are the co-conspirators along with the Weston companies.
The article says it was the result of a retroactive salary adjustment coupled with severance pay - unfortunate, but I’m not sure it’s an egregious example of mismanagement (besides him apparently being a bad hire - I wish we knew more about why he was let go).
There’s a lot of argument to be had over the relative value of CEOs across the board, but Shared Health presumably has to offer a salary that’s competitive with the private sector.
I think it’s a fine idea that requires a certain degree of community and camaraderie that I’m not sure exists in the Lemmyverse yet.
As a group, we’re good at sharing articles - often stuff that makes us mad (and there’s plenty of that to go around) - but less good at just…hanging out and shooting the shit.
I don’t know what the solution is aside from, “be the change you want to see.”
Brinley at S&P Global Mobility says the rise of SUVs is a reflection of consumers’ desire to get greater utility out of their vehicles, which means the capacity to move more people and cargo.
Adams said when choosing a vehicle, most SUV buyers don’t make their decision based on something that’s going to satisfy “95 to 99 per cent” of their driving needs, which is commuting and running errands.
“They purchase their vehicle for the one weekend of the year when ‘I tow my boat up to the lake and I want to make sure I can do that,’” he said, noting “it is ironic when they make that purchase and then complain about high gas prices.”
I’m the first person to defend Health Canada having standards for scientifically-validated treatment, but there is clearly work to be done in actually making sure the science happens - ideally, cases like this where the treatment is being recommended by licensed doctors should be considered opportunities for research, even if it is only a case study.
I think the headline misrepresents it a bit, but:
Tim’s has a long history of playing to a sense of nostalgia and “shared Canadian values”.
Politicians have been using this association to try to seem like Regular Joes for years.
The franchise is owned by one of the largest corporations in the world.
Their menu increasingly contradicts the “traditional” vibe they promote, with newer items like Sweet Chili Chicken Loaded Wraps and Loaded Bowls, Tiramisu Cold Brew, and Blackberry Yuzu Sparkling Quenchers.
They’re also increasingly expanding options that discourage people from eating in-store, eroding their “de facto town square” image.
Maybe the confused identity of the brand reflects the confused identity of Canada as a whole.
To be honest, it’s a pretty muddled piece, but there are a couple of interesting points in there.
“Instead of really trying to bring in the best and the brightest to fill the labour market gaps that need to be filled, what we’re doing is bringing in low skill, low wage, expendable and exploitable temporary foreign workers in the form of students,” Banerjee said in an interview.
Refreshingly blunt. Also unsurprising. Also yikes.

This is already being walked back:
“Of course we’re funding roads,” Guilbeault said. “We have programs to fund roads, but we have said — and maybe I should have been more specific in the past — is that we don’t have funds for large projects like the Troisième lien that the CAQ has been trying to do for for many years.”
Hey, we have checks and balances in place.
