We are better off not having Facebook be mistaken for a source of news. There is no news on Facebook, only memes, propaganda, and misinformation.

Just to be clear, these are not Trudeau's laws. Canadian anti-hate speech laws have been on the books for decades.

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 months ago

That's exactly it. It's always hate speech that those who are braying about free speech are trying to protect.

They have certainly gotten themselves organized. Once they realized that our system only functions because of the good faith of the participants and that they could lie and cheat and steal with no consequences they quickly began to take over.

2/3 of Canadians own their own homes.

This isn't an, "error in judgement", it's professional misconduct. He knew that they were single use and knowing that they were single use he decided that he knew better and reused them. He wasn't fired because he reused syringes, he's being fired because he doesn't follow the most basic rules of his professional. He's lost the trust of his employer.

During the early pandemic the anti-reality folks said that the Covid vaccine wasn't actually a vaccine since you didn't need boosters with a real vaccine like the polio vaccine. I pointed out that the polio vaccine primary series required three boosters. No, no, they said...those were part of the vaccine, not boosters. I pointed out that each subsequent dose boosted the immune response so they were, in fact, boosters. No, no, they said. They were part of the primary series of the vaccine, not boosters. I then pointed out that in some recipients the immune response from the primary series wasn't strong enough and that they required, "additional boosters", according to the description of the vaccine. "You shut your porky mouth, they said."

Whether it's called a booster or a vaccine doesn't matter to me. I'm going to get it.

Lots of chatter in here about not supporting the conservatives. But, there’s no options for Canadians.

Ok...but why elect a government that we KNOW is going to be worse? That hurts us. They cut revenue, cut services, run up the deficit and the debt, then lose and blame the Liberals for their mess. We would be better off to just stick with the Liberals who are bumbling idiots but at least they aren't actively trying to fuck us over to give billions of dollars to the wealthy and corporations. That doesn't make any fucking sense.

Pierre Polievre has already come out and said he wouldn't do it if elected and would instead spend his money on housing regular Canadians. That type of virtue signaling is why 24 Sussex is in the state that it is in.

This is the Conservative "not spending money is saving money" fallacy. Not spending money for necessary repairs and maintenance doesn't save money, it costs more in the end. If your roof needs fixing and you put off fixing it you're not saving money. Fixing your roof costs more when you eventually fix it and you likely have to repair water damage and replace insulation. This is what Harper did. He neglected everything from the military, to veterans, to government IT infrastructure, to search and rescue...the list goes on and on and on. When the Liberals finally won they had to spend money to fix all of the Conservatives neglect. Then the Conservatives complain about the Liberals spending. It's so fucking tiring.

Yes, and there are a few Facebook refugees here pushing their anti-reality nonsense.

I think it's really funny that no one is taking the bait. All of the responses have been simple, on point, and non-engaging. That's how you deal with a troll.

THIS is the key point. She had made this her entire identity. When billions of doses had been administered to billions of people worldwide and none of them became magnetic, or sterile, or had tracking chips installed, or got 5G, or turned into monkeys and the world went on with life while she slowly killed herself while wailing about the injustice...she would rather die than admit that she was wrong.
