This is a great write-up of what Bill C-39 actually does to workers' rights from two lawyers that I have worked with. It is intended to, and will, gut the right to strike for federally regulated workers.

Mark Carney says he’s protecting Canadian workers. It’s Orwellian doublespeak
Subject to ministerial review, the right to strike is likely to be much weakened by Bill C-39.

Does Bonnie Crombie also want the City of Mississauga to contribute to the operational costs of the TTC? I suspect not.

Mayoral candidate Bonnie Crombie wants the TTC subway extended to Mississauga’s city centre. But will Doug Ford buy in?
Mississauga mayoral candidate Bonnie Crombie is pitching a Line 2 subway extension. Can she convince Doug Ford to help fund the massive project?

The analogy I always think of is soccer: soccer is really hard, so difficult that even the best strikers regularly miss shots on goal. But they miss a lot *less* - and under more difficult circumstances - than a regular person or an amateur player. Humanities is a 'miss less' practical field.

The new federal legislation tabled today is a direct attack on Canadians’ Charter rights and freedoms, and we are calling on the federal government to halt the legislation in its tracks.

At the request of the Magistri Militum I have agreed to convert the Arcus Triumphalis, planned since the Pax Romana, to an Armamentarium to have the rapid ability to use large numbers of manuballistae, plus sagittarii on the attica & platea, & hold large quantities of plumbatae Imp. Constantinus🏺

Classic Liberal Party short-termism. Lighting public assets on fire for short term money. When the Ontario Liberals pulled this, they called it "asset recycling" and got real mad at anyone who called it privatization.

Again I must say that they should do a 6 hr Trek miniseries based on the Battle of Wolf 359. Star off with Admiral Hanson getting increasingly concerned with the borg, he tries to get funding for a hypothetical federation warship project 'the valiant'. the federation council think he's a kook.

It cannot be overstated just how dumb it was. They wanted to make Newline rename "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" because they found it disrespectful. They banned the song "I am Leaving on a Jet Plane". The background of random TV shows like "Charmed" was suddenly full of flags. I could go on

RS with your home river. The Humber River, in western Toronto. My parents would take my sister and I to Étienne Brûlé Park on the banks of the Humber when we were kids. I remember when this bridge, which is for pedestrian and bike traffic, was built at the mouth of the river.
A white arched suspension bridge over a green-brown river with a blue sky and white fluffy clouds behind. Trees grow at the near end of the bridge. At the far end, a building under construction with a crane can be seen in the background.

"With all due respect" is a devastating Canadian insult. It doesn't even really translate to other languages, though the words may sounds familiar. "Bless you heart" in the US South may be the closest equivalent.

Either he’s sending a starship to Mars THIS WEEK, or he’s full of shit. Which could it be…? 🤔
Elon Musk • X @elonmusk• 07/09/2024
The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.
These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years.
Flight rate will grow exponentially from there, with the goal of building a self-sustaining city in about 20 years. Being multiplanetary will vastly increase the probable lifespan of consciousness, as we will no longer have all our eggs, literally and metabolically, on one planet.

these people really want to make "racist" akin to a slur rather than what it is, a straightforward label for a set of beliefs and views. if you don't like the label because you, correctly, associate it with degenerate chuds, then get better beliefs
