@justbob it isn't lost on me, and I'll always be advocating and demanding to ensure everyone gets what they need, even if it means people at the top get a bit less power

but it's not enough for just a few people, everyone needs to participate in that

we gotta be the change we want to see in the world

@edwiebe @ProgressivePower I do think sticking CPP in that figure is a weird choice since strictly speaking they aren't your assets to manage, and you may not live long enough to even get a payout, and if you do it doesn't go very far without other savings

@edwiebe @ProgressivePower yeah, if were talking income its def inflated, but if were counting assets like TFSAs/RRSPs, cars, condos.. on average it -might- work out. but an awful lot of people have none of that

@lori @ProgressivePower some elements certainly wish we were, but in reality petrol makes up a pretty limited amt of our exports, sold below market rate to the US. we are not good at being a petrol state

Hey #Canadians: we support each other, we stand up for each other, and we show up for each other. Here is how we do that right now, today:

Even if you only read the petition, learning about what the Saskatchewan and Alberta provincial governments are attempting is a step in the right direction. Signing the petition is a step. It is going to be a long journey, but this is not one we can sit out.

just what america needs, fewer practicing doctors. maka america "healthy" again *eyeroll*

imagine if you lived in a world where every single person had enough to eat, had a comfy home, had a community that they cared about and spent time with, uplifting each other, studied the universe, perfected new culinary dishes, performed wonderful musicals, comedies, love stories, played sportsball at the local arena, and never once murdered each other or even punched each other, and always helped each other up when one fell

@ProgressivePower idk if we want to count CPP in an individual's "wealth", that probably skews things a bit

honestly, as great as .ca is... I really think we shouldn't peacock around like this and pretend we don't have serious issues to address in terms of poverty, housing, food security etc. we do a lot of things right, but we fuck up a lot too #Canada

I think it's beneficial to have education connected to larger secular bodies eg. the state because it forces all of the little communities with their "values" (values can be excellent, or horrible) to find some common ground.

Should we teach that the earth is flat?
Is evolution real?
Does *everyone* need to learn how to read?

If you let "the local community" decide such things they have often made the wrong call on these questions which have objectively correct answers.

could you build an EMP that could brick jake the rizzbot without bricking nearby cellphones/hearing aids/pacemakers/insulin pumps/mobility aids?

it doesn't matter what else is in the files (well it does matter obv, but still), you cannot square those 2 things -- there is no innocent explanation for that

so they couldn't release a lot of the eppstein stuff because it contained actual CSAM.. that alone should be disqualifying the guy who gave him that "oooh we have so much in common, enigmas never age teehee pubes" birthday card

every peak and trough is an opportunity to either win big or lose moderately o_o

it's not gambling if it's just for the dopamine of doubling your money even if you lose more often than you win

This story would make a great case study in media bias and framing. Some outlets: "The left hate victims of communism and wont let us show the names!" Other outlets: "The right want to celebrate nazis!" Other outlets: "I guess there were no victims afterall" CBC: "The monument controversy still lingers"
