How about holding the manufacturers responsible for the deaths caused by their designs and the accumulated lobbying they have done to foster dangerous streets.
You thought 9 deaths by this driver is a problem - and for sure, its an outrage. But 5 people die and 42 people are seriously injured on Canadian roads *every day*. We have an epidemic of road violence. It stems from vehicles that are designed to be driven aggressively, and roads designed to help this.

I had the same reaction. We had a 'day trip' to the Camargue when we were staying in the Causse, and were amazed at the Flamingos.

"New York sends approximately $362 billion each year in tax revenue to the federal government but receives roughly $85 billion in federal funding"
According to Trump's logic, NY state is being ripped off.

Its a shame that CBC have chosen not to publish this 'open' letter, nor link anywhere to it, especially given what the policies it advocates. I'd like to know if my Mayor signed, and if not, why not.

No band of gangsters have ever brokered a peace deal, let along a just peace deal. So there was no way Trump's band of gangsters were going to get anywhere with this.

If you are interested in reading international bestsellers, read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams (and published by Flatiron Books). It tops bestseller lists. Against the interests of free sppech, Meta have tried to ban it and its promotion.

Yes. Its a fair conclusion. We're in a post truth world. There are people who believe you can prove anything with facts, and people like Trump gaslighting to exploit this. We don't win arguments by being correct, we win arguments by setting the narrative.
There are many who voted for Brexit in 2016 who still believe that Brexit was the right decision, because to recognise it was a disaster for the UK requires them to accept they were stupid / hoodwinked or both.

Yes - rebutting the detail of each lie is just a fools game and a waste of a trip.

2025-03-12 13:56:34

- reply

- a good rebuttle, but... sigh.. Part of me feels that we spend too much energy countering Trump's endless lies. We should keep reminding people that *everything* Trump says is a lie or deceit, and put the onus on proving otherwise to his supporters.
Our creative energies should be devoted to pushing forward our ideas and aspirations, not merely neutralizing his bullshit.

The rest of NATO needs to signal this is beyond the pale. It is clear that the US is now a clear and present danger not just to Ukraine, but all countries that have relied on US technology (for example, UK's nuclear arsenal).

actually, much as I like this, Trump really can't cope with strong intelligent women. Preferably of colour.

Donald Trump represents the United States. Until you have deposed him, strung him up from an Esso garage on the edge of a city square, or just voted him out, he represents all the people of the US. He is your president.
When Britain was faced with Nazi Germany, it was of no use for Britons to remember that Hitler did not represent the people of the Reich, and that there were some nice Germans.
Today, your country is an existential threat to mine. Period.

Very much so. The White House is waging some sort of war with everyone. Its a den of thieves, not a government.
The question is, what sort of war are Americans going to wage against the crooks sitting in the White House?

ah, my bad!
As a Generation Xer, I was taught metric by British Imperial natives, so never really knew either. Those wanting Brexit loved Imperial, so I embraced SI units fully.
Moving to Canada I discovered a country differently unfinished in its metric journey, but also constrained by an overbearing neighbour ridiculously backward in its thinking. I mean no one, literally no one in Britain ever used British Thermal Units. And US pint? its not even 16 🇬🇧 fl oz ffs.

2025-03-03 22:53:38

- reply

Actually you don't even use British Imperial measurements. These are defined in the Weights and Measures Act of 1824. No, the US uses Winchester measures, which date back to Henry VII - 1495. This is why your pint is the wrong size. Your foot, inch and acre comes from the statute of Ells and Perches. This statute was passed sometime between 1266 and 1303.
As with your constitution, you need to update your weights and measures.

In Britain, the Royal Mail doesn't deliver your mail. It delivers your post.
In Canada, Canada Post doesn't deliver your post. It delivers your mail.

I'm hoping that prior to the election, Carney will push forward some emergency legislation that will, among other things:-
1) force sale of foreign owned and controlled media
2) require all potential Prime Ministers to have passed security clearance prior to any general election campaign (the analysis also being published)

No. This is just a distraction tactic. Its the coup you need to be looking at. You need to stop the country from functioning, not passive-aggressively phoning up a complaints line. 🤦‍♂️

"Of course, that could lead to civil war"
I think you are likely past the event horizon on this. If you are not, you need a lot of energy immediately to escape fascism.

Wow that's a big change! His arguments are twice as sophisticated as before.
No, hear me out...
Poor PeePee finally realised that Argument from Repetition (you know - axing taxes, and having sex with Trudeau) was a fallacy. All his statements to date have suffered this same fallacy.
But now - he has adopted a Red Herring as his latest fallacy of choice. He has doubled the type of fallacies in his position statements.

these are little Lord Haw-Haws. They need to be treated the same way. When UK was the last bastion against fascism in Europe, we did not tolerate giving them the ability to broadcast their treasonous lies.

This is why we need to include the poison platforms - Meta and Twitter (currently known as "X" ) - in the list of non-tariff measures. Use the Tiktok method to close them down in Canada. Get all the public debate out of the control of US (or Russian) controlled gangsters.

In UK, Dorset Fire Brigade had footage of a wildfire jumping a dual carriageway, and it was this that taught them (& land managers) to think of them as fire defendable lines.
Of course Canadian wildfires are much more intense, and likely to jump significantly further than a dual carriageway. This was why I thought planting a barrier might be very expensive to be successful.

this is also the case in Atlantic Canada.
I landed in Canada 6 years ago, and. I was incredulous when I found out that Provincial Governments licensed the chemical suppression of fire retarding broadleaved tree species.

Social Media Barons always insist they are not "publishing" anything and cannot be held responsible for what is on their platforms, no matter how libellous or harmful.
But as soon as they inject a process that in someway curates - selects or promotes some posts over others, the become a publisher. The algorithms do this. We need to stop pretending that these billionaires are innocent victims in this. Their algorithms publish hatred and harm.
Now apply the law.

In the UK, alcohol has long been freely bought in superstores. Its often next to the pop.
UK's growing problems with binge drinking has been directly linked to price wars between superstores who used alcohol discounting to drive up business. These price wars undermined government efforts to increase tax to reduce binge drinking.
=> Ford is generating a massive health problem in Ontario that future Premiers will struggle to undo.

Why aren't the GMC calling out climate change as the biggest risk to human life? why aren't they demanding a complete pandemic level of mobilisation of action against it?
If instead the GMC are effectively ending the careers of anyone who speaks out about the urgency of climate change action, then the GMC are not only bringing the health profession into disrepute, but they are breaking their hippocratic oaths.
