That thing definitely has Badgey code in it

Liessocial (love the name) is, believe it or not, a jacked up Mastodon instance. So in theory, you should be able to just add .rss to the end of a given url to get a feed of that page.

You can use RSS! As long as the accounts you are wishing to follow are publicly accessible without logging in, you can paste the link into rss.app and it will spit out an RSS feed that you can subscribe to.

Why do governments in this country seem to think workers’ rights are fun little playthings that can be taken away as punishment if we displease them? That’s not how any of this fucking works.

Workers’ rights exist because large, angry, violent mobs demanded them. And we’re not going to let them be taken away.

I pretty much despise Doug Ford and everything he’s ever done politically, but his opinions on Tump are actually exquisite. As Canada’s most preeminent asshole, he’s final|y discovered a way to use his abilities for good and I fully support him in this capacity. That Reagan ad was chef’s kiss. Keep it up, Doug!

Meanwhile, Carney continues to waste his effort trying to negotiate with a cheat and a liar. Trump has proven time and time again that he is incapable of upholding his end of the bargain. I appreciate the Canadian values Carney is espousing by de-escalating the conflict and showing an astounding level of patience and charity towards someone who doesn’t deserve it, but it’s completely lost on Trump. He’s irredeemable.

Ettinger sits on the board of directors of Purolator. That’s a massive conflict of interest at the very least.

The problem is that it’s mostly used as a hamfisted way for awful governments to overrule the judicial branch.

Let’s say for example the premier of Alberta wants to arrest people for making fun of her on the internet. That pretty clearly violates the charter – but she has enough support in the legislature to pass the bill. The courts can then review the bill and say “hey, we noticed this bill is an emphatic middle finger to the charter of rights & freedoms, we’re gonna strike it down,” to which the premier can respond “um, I don’t remember asking you, because this bill operates notwithstanding any dusty old documents cooked up by the Laurentian elite.”

And that’s a perfectly legitimate action under Canadian law.

It’s also a way to inflate the number of ads a user has to wade through before they find what they’re looking for. Classic monopolist bullshit.

What exactly were those issues again? I was under the impression it was simply an abundance of caution to stop the spread of avian flu?

I’m curious to see just how quickly Hajdu will reach for that trusty section 107.

Whenever it happens, we’re all in for some pure cinema as the feds realize they’ve already spent the last magic bullet.

I get that perspective, but I also don’t think it’s fair for our government to reduce the level of service Canadians should expect from our public post office while simultaneously pumping ungodly amounts of money into private LNG, mining, and electric vehicle companies.

Davey Havok is still out there, somewhere

I don’t know either. There really isn’t a universally agreed upon standard for how to leave a toilet seat. Even with a sign dictating the expected behaviour, it’s not a guarantee. It’s completely illogical to expect a toilet seat to have been left in any specific state*, and therefore the onus is entirely on the next person to set it how they want before using it. This is already how it works. It takes 1 second. I don’t know who is complaining about it.

Although, on second thought, the only people who would ever have to move the seat in a seat-down world are those who want to pee standing up, and there might be some value in very gently discouraging that behaviour in a public restroom. Not sure if that’s the goal here, but it’s a theory.

*Unless there’s a lid. Close the damn lid!

You or I might not get a ton of mail, but there are still plenty of people who depend on the service. Not everyone has reliable internet access or wants to put everything online. But yes, lettermail is essentially a relic. Parcels are where the money is. Canada Post is still the cheapest and safest option (except during a labour dispute) when it comes to shipping parcels, not to mention the only option if you don’t live in a city.

The problem is with the private couriers – who aren’t legally mandated to sink money into lettermail or rural delivery, and who exploit the hell out of their workers – using that unfair advantage to capture more and more of the parcel market.

And the funniest part: Canada Post owns Purolator. They’ve been quietly doing an end run around CUPW’s bargaining power this whole time.

Yeah, paper flyers are absurdly wasteful. We as a society should really try to find a way to eliminate them. Unfortunately right now they make up a significant chunk of Canada Post’s revenue, thanks to a bunch of unfair competition in the parcel market, where they should be making their money.

Which is why this is going to be so effective as a strike action. The company’s income stream gets blown up while the essential service continues to deliver the stuff people actually want in their mailboxes.

Ice Cold Beer. While he’s distracted, the rest of our tokens are going in the ice cold beer machine.

I’d like to add that batteries might only last 3 years if you live in a cold climate.
