I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Parking Reform Network @parkingreform.org · 24/10/2025
Turns out the real political spectrum is just how people feel about free parking 😂 Tag yourself!
A political compass chart titled "Parking Reform Political Compass." The horizontal axis is labeled "Pro-Free Parking" at the top and "Pro-Parking Reform" at the bottom. The vertical axis is labeled "right wing" on the right and "left wing" on the leftmost border. The chart is divided into a grid of 25 boxes, each featuring a persona and a humorous quote representing different viewpoints on parking policy. On the left side of the compass, personas range from "Free Parking Revolutionary" and "Anti-Capitalist Car-User" at the top left corner, to "Anarcho-Urbanist" and "YIMBY Keyboard Warrior" at the bottom right corner. On the right side, personas range from "Conspiracy Theorist" to "Freedom Loving Business Owner." In the middle are personas like "Burt-Out," with the quote: "We'll form a committee to study the committee that studied the parking reform study. The report will be due never." Overall, this political compass satirizes perspectives across the political spectrum, including left-wing, right-wing, centrist, libertarian, and niche cultural stances like "Anti-Gentrification Warrior" and "Data-Driven Dad."

If you’re a senior, pregnant, have a disability, you can get priority access for voting. If you don’t see the sign for it, ask a staffer. #vanpoli

Hello Vancouver quadrant of the internet: anyone know where the shortest voting lineups are right now? Strathcona is about an hour or less. Kits is still 2 hours. Champlain Heights is not busy but far for many. Anyone have any other info? #vanpoli #byelection

Judge orders sweeping rehiring of fired workers at 18 federal agencies
The order by U.S. District Judge James Bredar was even more broad than a similar ruling earlier in the day from a different federal judge.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

To understand the faction leading America, recognize they think the worst, most terrifying things to happen in recent years are: 1) George Floyd protests 2) Public health treating COVID as real 3) HR saying "we've received complaints about your, um, 'jokes'" 4) Press 1 for English 5) Pronouns in bio
