I think I can see more colours in the stars than most people. I can also tell the northern lights are coming up earlier, so probably just low-light cone sensitivity.

A wasp died in a vent a bit ago and it smelled awful to me, but nobody else noticed.

I have a different reason, but just a nice sturdy brush, and the hard edge to scrape anything stuck on.

Kitchen sponges are basically the dirtiest thing in your house, by amount and harmfulness of bacteria contained. It might just be something one of the species gives off.

I have no indication that anyone left of Pierre Poilievre thinks what the Americans are doing right now is cool. Even PP might not actually, given his own record on immigration, although he’s glad to pander to the worst.

Yes. Trudeau was tickling up against the NDP there, and probably had little problem passing their policies. Carney is a different beast. He’s passionate about the environment and wants the government in on homebuilding, but he’s also a techbro and seems to want trickledown-type policies regarding the rich.

The thing is, PP is so far off to the right there’s still a ton of headroom in between.

Literally, it’s just public servants. Read the damn budget - or a summary of the damn budget - if you actually care about the truth.

I could point out the gaps in the plan there are, to prove I’m not shilling, but I’m guessing you’d just see that grace as weakness. I have better things to do than that kind of exchange.

4. Guillaume Bigot

Read his name like you’re an American.

Also notice that Lemmy is actually multiple sites connected together, so there might be more than one of each community, which can be confusing at first.

Other ones on other instances, too.

Not in an apartment right now, but I do tend to absentmindedly slam things. Sorry, I don’t mean to be loud.

You know how the police can’t force you to show ID when just walking around? Yeah, this is the same thing and they know it.

Hopefully, the EPS has their own server they load faces into domestically. Don’t we have legislation about jurisdiction of storage of biometrics now?

It’s still not great, and I have little confidence Axon can’t (cooperate with an agency to) slip in there and steal information somehow.

and has been the single most destructive force to the fabric of Canada in modern history. He’s cutting deeper than any conservative could ever hope to, as is he privatizing and outsourcing profits.

Lol no. Have you actually been following the policy, and what the Conservatives are suggesting instead?

He’s definitely moved things to the center (it was a change election, PP would have won otherwise), but on the US file he’s doing about as well as anyone could hope for, and hasn’t actually cut much - literally just civil servants. All the social programs are fine. Meanwhile PP’s life’s mission is to kill the CBC.

Most of the carbon tax is still there. There’s a new housing program. He just tricked Alberta into raising it’s carbon tax. And it goes on.

We’re not going to, the US has our economic balls in a vice.

There’s more chance of a court ruling it unlawful, but that takes time.

He doesn’t seem feckless to me.

That would be the hard part about working in anything geopolitically relevant. Your government will have to do realpolitik, and you can’t reasonably impose your own preferences over top of that and stay relevant, so you end up welding together anti-protester bumpers for the Saudis, or brown guy cages for the Americans. Hopefully all the sales to Ukraine make up for it.

Yeah, we could go with the South Africa approach and just give a butt-ton of things official status.

Man, that 6% must have it rough. I’d rather not speak French living in France, because at least they aren’t worried about being erased.

I suppose New Brunswick would still be bilingual, so why not. It would make sense to relax official language rights in the Charter a bit, though.

Yup. Actual France is still on the other side of the Atlantic, haha.
