mostly inactive, lemmy.ca is now too tainted with trolls from big instances we’re not willing to defederate
Conservatism used to be about fiscal responsibility and political stability
And at which point in time was this not a euphemism for cutting social services and resisting social reforms? Only the most radical segment of the left is revolutionary, most of progressive politics always has been incrementalist social democracy inside the frames of modern capitalism. Conservatism has always been about resisting whatever that other force for progress is pushing.
It is the fault of their home countries that their schools don’t meet that standard.
We cannot and should never compromise high standards of education.
These two things are generally unrelated. Higher education institutions around the world don’t have many incentives to get these accreditation stamps in the first place, and it’s mostly bureaucracy, nothing to do with the actual standards of these institutions. My engineering degree was much, MUCH harder to get than it it would have been in Canada. The bar to graduate at my uni is way higher than the average university here - but in the end it’s a pile of paperwork that no one cares to make it easier.
A friend of mine is finishing his 3 year journey towards his P Eng and it’s insane to think that the quality of his education has anything to do with this, it’s one of the best engineering schools of the continent.
Fucking hell, I’m not excited for the the surprise front row seat for 21st century imperialism
Eh, I can’t help but be a little bit hopeful, but remember that whenever the Liberals pick their new leader, “Fuck Trudeau” will be updated into “This person is just Trudeau again but worse”. It’s just that this is not very effective until the actual person is chosen.
But as always, what we need to do doesn’t change. Get out and vote. Convince reasonable people to vote.
Very true, important correction!
Therapy has always been legalized, but the folks who need help the most will often not dare ask for it
Yes… of course
And yet, it’s not enough
I know people should know better but there should be a rule (or a bot that enforces this) about adding [SATIRE] before these kinds of posts
Now that the day is past, today I saw in the news what each candidate was doing yesterday. What’s the story behind Á’a:líya Warbus being a Conservative candidate in Chilliwack?
I’m not surprised to occasionally see LGBTQ+ folks joining hands with conservatives because there’s one thing that usually threads the needle there: class warfare. I can also understand the poor working class that votes conservative: rugged individualism and “traditional values”. But I still can’t understand indigenous voters going conservative… Rustad is clearly an enemy!? 🤷♂️
Its factually true from my perspective.
That’s an interesting sentence
Canada needs more people. It also needs more infrastructure.
Unfortunately Canada is doing a good job tackling #1, but a bad job tackling #2 because the financials work out to be just fine to do so.
I could not stand living in a small NA city lol, it’s Vancouver, Toronto, Monteral or leaving the Americas altogether
Me neither but that’s not what’s happening. The petition is not the basis for the action. The basis for the petition is the basis for the action, and the petition is a tool to demonstrate public support for the action.
I won’t be signing it, though. This will help no one and I’d rather spend our political capital on things that do.
