Hello thanks for visiting my profile.
For any picture posts I make with the [OC] tag, I provide a license for you to use my photo under the terms of CC-BY-SA-4.0. You may DM me for questions.
Edit: I think there are better answers downthread than mine, but I hope my first comment spurned them on.
Not the most experienced bash guru at it but let me see…
Reddit was like this in 2009, here’s a random thread from there to illustrate, 35 score, no comment votes. The years prior Reddit was even quieter despite having only one community they had to post to, before subreddits were a thing.
Give it time, promote it on Reddit if you want to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com, tell your friends. As far as I know we are growing slowly, it will only blast up if Reddit does something extra henious again. Though the knee-high barrier of choosing a server and learning the etiquette will take a little time.
I think it’s okay as is, it doesn’t have to be more popular, but if it does become more popular then I don’t mind that either.
He didn’t even negotiate this with the BC premier on this, so I don’t expect this to go anywhere.
The Trump crypto value has nothing to do with any economic outlook. It’s the bribe gratuity funnel for the Trump family.
I wonder if the party is splitting into two, to be named BC Owning The Liberals and BC Disunited?
Oh boy, here I go, killing free expression again!
!!! Holy crap that’s news.
Well the October report has been withheld by the Trump admin.
ADP is a payroll company, I used to be paid by them at a previous Canadian job I held. My current job uses dayforce, so ADP’s not the only name in town.
This is one area of many where I think Manitoba’s Kinew led provincial NDP shines, his inclusion of the rights of French language Manitobans along with the rights of Indigenous.
The language itself I think is not a big deal, Carney fumbled through French 101 again in a matter of months to become Prime Minister. But I do think if the NDP wants to make inroads with Québec’s Bloc and Liberal voters they need to be more in touch with Québec culture.
I think the federal NDP still has more work to do in self-reflection. I hope they make use of this opportunity. Even if you don’t like BC’s NDP, hopefully you can appreciate that Eby is listening to genuine internal criticism from unions and labour activists, BCFN and environmental supporters within his party during the review.
That whole BC ostrich debacle really highlights how much of a frenzy people get up over it. CFIA would need to have a media budget of millions if they’d want to handle interviews like that.
I will start by saying I’m no expert in Indigenous affairs or law, but I know it’s especially messy in BC due to the multitude of co-habitating tribes that have lived in the area before, during and after the colonial period.
I get the sense the author is using the findings and jumping to worst case scenario conclusions. Landholders automatically lose all rights and owners interest because Crown title is subordinate and defective, gg no re (despite citing a settled/negotiated case where Crown land was given over and fee-simple landowners retained their interest). And BC’s legal losses come out of Canada’s budget so our tax money goes to First Nations, and so therefore you’re supposed to get angry about it according to the author.
But I don’t think most reasonable people in Canada nor the Indigenous see it as the necessary conclusion. Things are in limbo because there’s still a lot to be worked out and negotiated.
Something that is on my mind for this case, is that the Cowichan are not the only First Nation claiming historic ownership/usage rights over that area (the Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen of White Rock and Delta or the Musqueam of Vancouver as a few examples). If that area of Richmond is awarded by BC/Canada’s courts exclusively to the Cowichan, then other First Nations have their rights and claims effectively abridged as well. Perhaps the author thinks that is irrelevant since all those will be worked out however will fully supersede the current resident rights. I’d disagree, ultimately I expect a conclusion that not everyone is happy about, but at least everyone’s modern and historical injuries are considered and recompensed at least partially. I think most Canadians recognize that as a nation we did generational harm to the Indigenous people whose historic lands we live on, but the exact way to recognize, repay and move forward is still far from decided. The author is, in my opinion, getting ahead of themselves assuming the conclusions.
I went in January, cold but nothing I’m unaccustomed to as a Canadian.
Clam chowder was decent at least what I tried. Public transit was usable. People were nice there in your typical American sense, but NYC shops had more heart for strangers and visitors comparatively. But I was only able to really scratch the surface from my day trip there.
A thin silver lining is that Canada’s siphoning some of the hyperinflated budget that is meant for a whole fascist concentration camp regime. Now if only we could get the horn to play “chinga la migra” occasionally when pressed…
Precisely my thoughts. His record on climate is already out the window but the trust is his to earn back. He re-affirmed the commitment to Elizabeth May, so Canadians expect him to keep his promises. He should know enough about money, the history of Keystone XL, Northern Gateway, and TMX that oil projects are on a dead-end course. This pipeline talk is to keep Alberta’s government from playing the blame game on them. The UCP’s jig could be up within the next year.
Well we can assume political discussions have a lot of psyops and people with agendas. I appreciate that many of the loudest voices/posters make it very obvious ;)
Some of the craziest niches aren’t on here (like if you clean sewers and septic tanks, DM me, you ought to do an AMA) but I have encountered people replying on mostly tech related topics on programming, linux, asklemmy, no stupid Qs where someone with niche tech knowledge did answer (i couldn’t find the original comment link, sorry). My knowledge is in trains, electricity, Japanese and Japanese electric trains, you can ask me about.
The differences is that you have the power to make a new community or Lemmy site with blackjack and hookers. (Piefed is kind of like that for people unhappy with the Lemmy software or developers.)
“This is not fair,” Eby said. “Absolute power to control the lives of British Columbians should not be in the hands of people none of them voted for. It should be in the hands of people fewer than half of them voted for but who nevertheless have all the power because that’s how first-past-the-post elections work. It’s called democracy. Kind of.”
Political comedy gold.
You should also read the last time The Beaverton covered Smith’s notwithstanding clause use. And then the time before that.
Highest disapproval poll numbers of his career, congratulations.
Or, highest poll numbers of his career of people who want to see the full Epstein files on him.
Hello, and welcone to Lemmy. Glad you made it, here’s my overall advice:
Enjoy your time here!
I watched it yesterday and only a couple things I have to add.
First is that the bipartisan CHIPS act basically shovelled taxpayer money into Micron’s pockets to increase their manufacturing, but they are reducing their consumer output anyway, so Steve’s point is consumers are not getting anything out of the subsidy they made.
Second is, since any potential increase in production is to cater to their largest data centre customers only, Steve is suggesting that this could be part of a push to move people to subscription-based cloud computing by making personal computing tha you buy and own unaffordable.
