I’ve seen this during boarding in the UK and US so far. Both times it was like a self service section at a grocery store- errors half the time holding up people and the gate agents having to fix the issue, scan themselves, or best of all, just go “yeah go ahead” without scanning anything.

Hopefully it will improve in time.

I don’t think either major party will offer much better really. The Conservatives get to ride on being the opposition and the viable supposed alternative to what’s been happening recently.

I have doubts about a pursuit of whiteness and model minority stereotyping. No matter what immigrants or their children do, they’ll always be hyphenated-Canadians at best, facing discrimination, suspicion, and hatred from “real” Canadians, conservative or not.

Instead the factors are much more tangible-the current government has overseen the relationships with both countries degrade severely, with severe impact to these groups. When you’re trying to care for a sick grandparent abroad or whatever else, the last thing you want is a two-faced political approach that risks having you stranded away from home.

And then what role did the government have in building up the current levels of hate towards immigrants with their policies? For decades academia has been allowed to turn international students into cash cows with zero regard for their quality of life. Businesses whining about wages getting too high after the pandemic meant that immigrants were brought in with no place to live and no livable income. And then scapegoated for cost of living increases spawned by decades of bad policy, by the governments who brought them in.

Immigrants are expected to put in to a system that’ll have them work twice as hard to get half as much, if that, and hate them for it. It’s not “I got mine, fuck you”, it’s “you’ll never give me mine, I’m just an exploitable tax base to you, we’re not going to pretend anymore”.

He’s going to start crying again isn’t he

It feels like they turned an article about this weird rape game into a Netflix ad.

We’ve already seen it happen in Canada under Harper, there’s no doubt that it could happen again.

The supreme court would ultimately strike it down, and I only see it as a ploy to bring in private prisons, but at the same time there’s a genuine problem in this country with sentencing habitual, dangerous offenders. I can think of at least three women in my province murdered by people who just kept getting in and out of jail for violent crimes their whole lives. One was even on day leave from the prison, which seems like insanity.

The biggest, wealthiest, most advanced polling firms in the US couldn’t get it right either, horrendously so in recent memory. I don’t think that’s down to conspiracy, but how to weight your samples when so many people don’t want to answer a phone call from an unusual number.

This seems completely uncritical of Carney and Canada for that matter. The future isn’t going to be lead without force because a middle power elects a prime minister with some good ideas about markets.

We don’t need to rely on wars? We rely on exploitation even without it- ask any country where our mining firms operate with lax regulation. Hell, we’ve participated in “coalitions of the willing” in invasions and aerial bombings for corporate giants too. Most of this country is content to think the first Nations just decided to give us the land.

I’m happy to vote for more years of basically Trudeau lite and I have no illusions about it.

Superpower? Alright no need to chug the Kool aid this hard, let’s wait until you find a chapter where he wants to develop a nuclear triad.

He’s a traditional liberal which means not all that progressive beyond what’s popular socially. Good for the wealthy fiscally, and maintained decline for everyone else. If you want to see what it’ll be, look at the UK while he was heading up BoE. Or any Canadian Liberal government through the 90s-00s.

Despite all this he and his party obviously remain the superior choice to PP, but let’s not kid ourselves. He’s not going to neolib us into utopia.

Say “McDonald’s!” to continue ride

I wish there was a way out of this points hell being everywhere you go. Every item gets more expensive to pay for it whether you like it or not, so don’t lose out, collect today! Such a pain in the ass.

More and more of these types every day

They’d have to connect to it, and possibly reconnect. That aspect is the issue.

My users aren’t going to figure that out.

Oh no they’ll see I’m watching TNG

They prohibit large amounts of media being streamed, and they reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts for it. Multiple years in, that has not happened.
