I usually make it a point to block all the channels where Simon’s face is appearing. This dude and his team are flooding and polluting the internet with content barely better than AI slop.
I.E.: This person has low credibility to me so I’m gonna pass on this.
It’s a good thing. It may help alleviate some cynicism about “alerts for everything”.
Plus, other countries are using this system so people travelling know how they work and what to expect.
J’imagine que mes ancêtres qui ont refusés la conscription se sont fait dire la même chose.
I don’t have a house and my apartment is owned by a billion dollar company. If I had a house, it wouldn’t be mine and I would be defending the mortgage/property of the bank. Home is where the heart is. The rest is a piece of land owned by the system. I’ve already left my native region because I’ve been told to leave if I didn’t like it there.
My loved ones are all conservatives and/or capitalists that would vote for the same shit Republicans are doing, while denying it. Last election, the country would have voted for Conservatives if it were not for the orange turd threatening us.
The Québecois were conquered centuries ago by the English and oppressed into submission so they would be forced into this country. And to this day, we still even can’t have an agreement on the constitution. We are still into a constitutional impasse and the country risks imploding and threatens the other parts to either agree or be kicked out, every time we’re talking about it, to the point that we’re just ignoring it.
I don’t think any of this is worth helping the military industrial complex into getting exactly what it’s been wanting for the last decades.
And no. I’m not leaving. I’m too poor and stuck here. You sound exactly like an American. So patriotic! So much to defend! Love it or leave it!
It’s exactly what they both wanted. An increase in military spending, and paranoia.
You too can help defend our capitalist country where housing is unaffordable to most people and where natural resources are exploited to profit multinational corporations.
It’s your choice. It’s either defending neoliberalism by helping to kill other poor people also convinced they are defending their country by invading another, or their fascism.
Meanwhile the rich will watch the poor fight and kill each others with weapons that they sold them.
I seriously think individuals should be prepared for general catastrophic events, but I’m personally not willing to “defend” this land that is not mine in the first place.
Being a subject of capitalistic country A instead of capitalistic country Z is not worth helping an organization that has the goal of killing other humans. Even if it’s just helping with driving a truck, or with the tech, it’s indirectly assisting those that will do the killing.
To me it’s kind of the same thing. When a party campaigns and focuses on “the economy”, this is what they mean. The Liberals (QLP) were the same with their friends / tinamis.
Because the CAQ has conservative ideologies, comes from the rests of the right wing populist party ADQ, and people re-elected them.
The CAQ doesn’t give a fuck about poor people, housing, public transit, health care, and social programs. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. The EcONoMy FiRsT.
Nothing about the financing method, the Private Public Partnership and the non compete clause against public transit. Or the 99 years contract on which public money is paying a private operator.
If the REM is the future of Canadian Transit Expansion, it will be at the detriment of public transit agencies, and transit will become for profit only.
Liberals proudly inaugurating a Private-Public Partnership in transit that has a non-competitive clause against public transit, and that will slowly cannibalize its financing. It allows them to show the opening of a transit line without financing it directly.
They have something to smile about. The slow privatization of the transit system in Montreal is on its way, a gift from neoliberalism.
Le coût de la vie augmente sans cesse, pas moyen de se loger, plusieurs grèves, plein de sans abris dans plusieurs villes, fak ce qui est pressant eeeeh, c’est évidemment la laïcité.
