Happy Canada Day!

Would’ve considered changing doctors if he didn’t. 😂

Just read the section on his mayorship of Braddock. This bud has been problematic for a long time. I don’t think he’s gone crazy lately, instead people got sold a counterfeit product during his federal election that they didn’t look much into.

Did he laugh?

At this point all the arguments about what nefarious could they possibly do with the data are busted. They answer is - our imagination and access to information is not rich enough to figure out today and it’s probably worse than what we can think of.

Faraday cage or bust.

“I try to explain to manufacturers in third countries that these components — especially a list of 50 joint priority categories we prepared closely with Ukrainians — may seem harmless. These include optical readers, integrated circuits, microchips, flash memory cards, which are found in our phones and computers. But when they get to Russia, it becomes weapons of war,” O’Sullivan detailed.

Yeah, good luck with blocking those items. They’re used in way more than weapons. Probably even in medical equipment and such. Not to mention how many manufacturers there are and how many distributors there are. This isn’t the late-stage capitalist consolidated landscape of the EU or NA where very few firms are responsible for all these widgets. And that’s before you even broach the substantiated unwillingness of Global South countries to go against a country they have had a more reliable relationship with, devoid of colonialism, classic or neoliberal. All the while they see that the Europeans and Americans have fucked Ukraine by being an unreliable partner, from leaky financial sanctions, through chronically insufficient weapons supply, to taking huge parts of their resources in exchange.

No surprises. Nothing has changed in a way to stop the drivers behind homelessness.

Oh compared to other fast food joints for sure.

No idea, but if their competition is Starbucks, Starbucks isn’t competing on coffee quality. 😂

Would they pay better than Starbucks? How hostile would they be to unions?

Of course not but it’s important context for people who don’t know why a good chunk of Cuban Americans vote Republican.

I don’t think I understand the question. 😔

Issuing recalls - a sign of how big Anker has gotten.

A tragic story that should be added to piles of child tragedy in Palestine as well as the other affected countries from these conflicts. Speaking of Palestine, I can’t see it mentioned at all on the front page of rferl.org.

Yeah, we should do both. Minimize the damage and reduce reliance. I think quitting cold turkey might lead to worse outcomes, including a possible reorientation towards the US under a prospective reactionary conservative government.

Picking a Zohran-like dem socialist leader would help with the recovery.

His mind was not changed.

The millions of Canadians suffering only works for a time. In the end people will vote away freedom in exchange for a piece of bread. This much has been proven by history. So in any plan that involves the suffering of millions, there has to be a portion that ends that suffering in as short time frame as possible. I’m not sure there is one at the moment. There are some concepts of a plan. I don’t know if we can realistically do this for example without opening up trade with China and only relying on the EU as a replacement to the US. And right now we’re taking a more or less China Bad stance. Perhaps this would change if we get fucked by Trump. Perhaps Carney is using this as a stick in negotiations. E.g. if you fuck us, we’ll have no choice but to do China OK in order to take care of Canadians. Maybe the EU is enough, I don’t know. I just know that the EU themselves are dependent on China in a few areas and we shouldn’t be paying their profit margins to get the same stuff.

It fits, so … it sits
