Canada@lemmy.ca•Smith scores slim majority on immigration questions, Albertans reject constitutional change
2·6 hours agoSmith doesn’t need a mandate to fuck over Alberta. It’s fascinating that she didn’t hold a referendum oh publicly funding charter and private schools, or on introducing two-tier for-profit healthcare. No, she just decided that she wanted to flaunt Alberta’s hatred of Ottawa and brown people. Because let’s be honest, anti-immigration sentiment is all about people who look and dress differently. Nobody’s going bat an eyelash at Aussies coming over to work the ski hills, unless they’re pointed to as the “See, I’m not racist” example.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Smith scores slim majority on immigration questions, Albertans reject constitutional change
2·6 hours agoSo we’re racist, but we’re racist Canadians. Yay us?
To be clear: The questions were deliberately crafted to drive people to the ‘yes’ vote; and the UCP spent millions of dollars in advertising propaganda telling us which way to vote on the referendum intended to tell them which which way to govern.
That doesn’t excuse the fact that this province is racist (and queer-phobic) as fuck, and getting worse all the time.

Because the US is interfering with their election.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is behind the current Lemmy meme about 4 being a private key?
118·5 days agoThere are two parts to this answer.
First, as many have pointed out, eMudhra as a trusted certificate authority has issued eight high-level certificates with a key length of onle 3-8 bits, when they should be 384 bits long. And yes, the smallest key was ‘4’.
But the other point is tha xkcd predicted using 4 as a random number, decades ago. It was supposed to be a joke.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does one figure out what to do, after getting out and done with high school?
3·7 days agoYou decide.
And you work at it.
Change your mind? Fine . Then work at it.
Don’t give up because it’s hard. Change only because it’s wrong for you.
And work at it.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta voters reject plan for referendum to leave Canada
151·7 days agoAlbertans also voted in favour of five racist questions, and four ‘stick it to the east’ ones as well. It wasn’t that proud of a day for this province.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta voters reject plan for referendum to leave Canada
13·7 days agoHonestly, not really.
That 25% includes both the shitstain separatists who have always been here, as well as the none-too-bright “send Ottawa a message!” idiots who wouldn’t actually vote for separation.
For decades I’ve heard numbers of 5-15% of the province are actively separatists. Seems pretty consistent.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada Was Set to Bring in National Pharmacare. What Happened?
10·14 days agoOh for fuck’s sake, really? If I don’t blindly support the Liberals and everything that Carney does, I’m a Russian bot (although apparently not from the farm that got bombed yesterday, since I’m still here)?
I voted Liberal last election to keep Poilievre out of office, and under this fucking FPTP system, I stand by my vote; but that doesn’t mean that Carney is beyond criticism. Take a look at his record, and you’ll see someone who puts more emphasis on dollars than on the overall health of the nation. I’m disappointed to say it, because I thought he might be a centrist leader, but he’s governing from the right, and it’s my job as a dirty hippy to call him out on it.
Facts are facts. The federal Liberals are now very close to where Mulroney’s conservatives were, back in the day. This is why we need electoral reform. I am still glad to have him at the helm (vs. Poilievre) when dealing with the fucktards south of the border, but from the second he got his majority, he stopped pretending to give a shit about anything other than economics.
He rolled back environmental protections, he’s been playing nice with the traitor of a premier ruining Alberta, and here we are talking about what happened to pharmacare. If you’re going to “Yandex” away legitimate criticism, then we end up with the worst government that the parties can get away with.
But hey - keep toeing the party line.

145·14 days agoYou can point to a lot of things, but a central problem is Mark Carney. If there’s no profit (short-term!) to be made, he won’t spend a dime on it. Basic research, climate change mitigation, food inspection, and healthcare are all meeting the economist’s axe.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Why a 21-year-old coder finally ported the real P.T. to PC: 'That something so influential could eventually become unplayable never sat right with me'English
3·17 days agoY’know, I took a look at your recent post/comment history.
In nearly every post, you insult the person you’re responding to. You call them idiots and morons, you condescendingly explain why you’re vastly more intelligent than they, you call their opinions bullshit, and you consistently fail to contribute anything useful.
No skin off my back - after this post, I’ll never interact with you again - but you might want to deal with the fact that you are really a shitty person.

13·17 days agoI’m not new to this.
I read the article. I searched for anything about the kid doing this project. Tried a few searches with his name and ‘jew’ or ‘hitler’ or a handful of other cross terms. I also trued looking through news articles, in addition to straight web searches, and came up with nothing. THAT is when I asked for clarification, and that is when you felt the need to answer with essentially LMFGTFY.
So feel free to provide some useful information, or STFU.

23·19 days agoSmith is a lying two-faced hypocrite. She changed the law three times to support the separatists, refuses to cendure ipenly separstist MLAs, and is speaking at pro-separatist event on Oct 10.











Yes, but this is RBC. The nicest and least competent of the big five banks in Canada.
