Alloi@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Leaked Canadian military report shows many new recruits are quickly leaving32·8 days agowar is cringe, but the US is the cringiest nation right now, and they want to annex us, which is super duper cringe. they are slowly prepping their population and military to do the cringiest war(s) possible. its dumb as hell. we dont want it. and because of that, we have to do cringey things to stop the worst case cringe, or maybe even deter it entirely in case the cringe comes over the boarder to do cringe stuff.
you may not like it (neither do i) but if someone came into my house to sexually assault me id rather be wearing jeans and a belt, than no pants at all.
we are just “trying” to put the jeans and belt on right now. there is nothing cringe about defending our home and rights from a foreign invader. much like it isnt cringe to defend yourself from being assaulted.
trust me im with you, i hate war. but id rather be canadian than american.
war is cringe. so lets deter it.

Alloi@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Could wastewater plants simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water?4·21 days agoBecause you’re essentially cooking a cocktail of complex chemicals, many of which were never designed to be heated, and the result is often airborne toxins and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are far worse than drinking trace amounts of the original chemicals.the chemicals dont vanish or turn into pure air when vaporized. they degrade into other more harmful chemicals. which are carcinogenic and more toxic.

Alloi@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Surge in fake political content on X attacking Mark Carney ahead of Canadian election1·23 days agofollowed by the “soft poisoning” by trump after the election, with trump calling carney a “so called liberal” who “likes him” more than any of the other candidates, especially the “conservative one” even though on election night he was rooting for pp.
hes simply attempting to create a new wedge among progressives against carney, and also give a new talking point for conservatives and separatists in canada who support pp, seeing as he wants to stay in leadership (without a seat no less, lol)
we’ll see how it all plays out, but i think carney just blew some maple wood smoke up trumps ass to soften the blow for a while, likely a part of the reason he praised carney for being “nice”. but i also believe trumps still going to attempt to financially crippled canada to weaken our bargaining power and potentially attempt to annex us. (good luck, lol)
be wary of the mind games, if theres one thing trump knows how to do, its to get under peoples skin amd divide people with crazy bullshit and wild statements.
he doesnt give a shit about the white house. burn down mar a lago.
Alloi@lemmy.worldto Global News@lemmy.zip•Canada’s conservative leader Pierre Poilievre loses his own seat in election collapse3·25 days agothe answer to that is a bit boring and less two dimensional. it took about a year for that to happen, from 2016 to early 2017 if memory serves. if you want to know what really happened, he tried, made a commitee, they took polls, surveys, townhalls, all the answers were conflicting, there was no consensus on a single system. he also didnt want to force his own prefered system that was popular with liberals (ranked ballots) as it would have looked like he was trying to service liberals, where as the others leaned towards proportional representation, which would have lead to things like fringe groups (think freedom convoy, proud boys, anti vaxxers, pro lifers, western and eastern seperatists, etc etc) having more sway and power over policy. imagine maple MAGA and western seperatists having more say now during all this 51st state bullshit…wouldnt be very fun to deal with.
Trudeau made a clear promise, explored it seriously, but ultimately abandoned it due to a mix of political risk, lack of public agreement on the replacement system, and competing national priorities. trump being a twat, and all that other fun stuff. Critics said he bailed when it no longer suited him; defenders say he chose caution over forcing a divisive change. Both are kinda right.
its a milktoast answer, but the truth usually is with canadian politics. occams razor and all that. i know pierre and the cons werent running on election reform either this time around. so at least he got that conversation going and began the study for a future government to reference down the line when it comes up again.
i hope our system continues to evolve to better suit canadians down the line. and educate us properly so we can all make informed decisions on policy rather than red or blue tribalism like the US. thats not who we are. and we should continue to refuse that way of thinking. its beneath us.
Alloi@lemmy.worldto Global News@lemmy.zip•Canada’s conservative leader Pierre Poilievre loses his own seat in election collapse9·25 days agomainly immigration and housing, however, this is mostly conservative spin. they had a heavy hand in causing the whole crisis, by request to the federal government from con premiers (doug ford, pallister, etc) for immigrants specifically during covid. going so far as to fudge numbers of available and projected housing so they could get more money for immigrants from the fed, and use the immigrants to stagnate wages and drive up housing costs for their investment properties and builder buddies. then cons began spinning the fallout as a liberal ploy when people started getting angry about prices going up for everything.
the federal government does not have the power to force immigrants into a specific province, they can coerce them through incentives. which all of these “anti immigration” premiers, gleefully accepted.
he accomplished a lot during his decade. legalized pot, created a lot of jobs, pushed for equal rights, helped indigenous people through funding and infrastructure and social programs. its a long list. he mostly seemed to ignore the attacks from the cons and just kept his head down and focused on policy and political theater when he felt he had to.
he had a few controversies, but its nothing the cons havent done before and got away with in the past. people have short memories however, and they love american social media, and regular media, so it was a matter of time before a lot of young heads turned to the right. thankfully trump made such an ass out of himself and pierre took too many notes from him. so thats the reason he lost mainly. we didnt want kmart trump in power. and so a lot of those heads turned to the left again.
he was a good leader, for the most part. but no leader is without fault or controversy. i agree with his stances, but maybe not all of his methods. hes human.

better yet, lets rebuild any factories to produce parts and vehicles for a nationalised electric vehicle company, to produce entry level electric vehicles so people can actually afford these fucking things.
id do it in a heart beat. and then get robot hands. spend the rest of my life being adored, with robot hands that can have like darts or lighters in the fingers or something.
plus, all my needs would be taken care of as a result. and the poor would be better equipped to tackle inequality further without worry of starvation or loss of healthcare and various other listed issues that currently hold us back.
