Where’s that going on though

This is usually “enforced” through fines, since unions are institutions that can be held liable for these decisions. Ultimately unlawful job action might end up leading to lawful termination though, so it takes a lot of courage to do what they're doing.

It's provinces run by people who cater to rightwing nut jobs so there's no conspiracy to uncover. The pattern is pretty clear.

All the people that thought Poilievre would not continue as the opposition leader need a wake up call. You still don't understand what you're fighting against. Cult of personality is a major pillar of fascism, and loyalty (to the leader, not to the country) is the most valuable trait. Poilievre had a few humiliating defeats but he's still gaining grounds for the CPC, and the conservative wave is still on it sway, bolder and with lots of resentments piled up.

Take this seriously. The enemy doesn't have to be smart or competent, they just need to amass power. https://www.antihate.ca/40ways

Is that sillier than forcing people who are not interested in owning a car to get a place with parking spots anyway? Because that’s where we are today. It is hard to find a building like this, and I’d love it.

I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.

This shit is ominous. This demon is ready to invade and take control of the Québec-Windsor corridor.

Cool story but that is what Americans chose, yes. It’s your representative. Americans might not hate Canadians, but Americans only love themselves and will eventually learn that this leads you to behave selfishly and be hated.

Decent article but senseless headline. Nobody ever positioned mandatory service as a method to make Canadians love their country...

The phaseout is now years ahead of schedule, in large part due to natural gas taking over much of the generation. Many coal plants were either replaced by gas plants or converted to burn natural gas instead. Electricity generated from natural gas puts out roughly half the amount of greenhouse gas emissions as compared with coal.

Ok, so fossil fuel is still the primary driver. But well, incremental improvements do matter. Zeroing out coal this year is a great milestone.

The share from renewables is growing too, even if a bit slowly.

And you can bet that when that leak would happen, it would come along the entire search and view history for that person.

These dumbfucks have to be saved from digging their own graves as always, because I'm sure the porn they consume is the shadiest.

Re: the title... Yeah no, owners of an expensive property are not only not in the "rich" class, they're likely working class as much as gig drivers and cashiers. Unless they liquidate this asset and actually go live somewhere LCOL where they can live off of the labour of others, they're still working class.

I've been going back and forth a few apps. Apple Maps and Google Maps fail me too often suggesting me to take streets without bike lanes. With OsmAnd I'm able to mark a few roads as "Avoid", but I end up marking half my city and sometimes I do need to go one block or two on those streets.

Is there an app that allows me to to plan a route explicitly prioritizing AAA lanes that works in Vancouver?
