Well, in terms of amount of snow, northern Ontario probably has more. But in terms of snow-related recreation, BC has more skiing and snowboarding opportunities since there are way more mountains. Ontario is more suited to ice skating, snowshoeing, snowmobiling (AKA skidooing), and sometimes tubing.

If you like remote, consider northern Ontario. You don’t even have to get super north for the population to plummet. The area is also incredibly beautiful, but so is BC and they don’t get the same snow (there’s so much snow, oh god…).

I’m voting against him later today. LFG Ontario, we can’t allow more of this.

Hm, while almost all of the pet subreddits I used to visit allowed grief posts (which is what I thought you were complaining about), none seemed to have a problem with people showcasing their pets’ corpses in photos.

Reddit’s moderation must have descended to total dogshit or maybe there’s one mod common to all these pet subreddits that’s just really weird.

I’m interested in learning whether that’s even legal considering that discriminating based on gender identity is explicitly against the Charter.

The US is one of the only countries in the world where citizens are taxed even when they don’t live there (and haven’t for many years). If you don’t pay taxes on your way out but you have to visit for any reason, cops can arrest you when you re-enter.

It’s pretty simple to me: the public likes that drug users are being coercively pushed into rehab because it gets them off the streets where they don’t have to see them and know there’s an issue.

I live in Ottawa: there’s at least one person begging for change or hanging out at every intersection, you can’t ignore it. Some people are just relieved to have them go away, they don’t care where or if it’s a good place.

It’s also much easier to round people up and force them to go somewhere else than it is for them to be in the position to seek help for themselves.

For accessibility, could you transcribe this to text? Might help more people read and enjoy it.

Like someone else said in the other thread, brine is still salt. Also, sand fucking sucks and barely works at all. So what’s the real alternative?

Imagine hating LGBTQ people and women having rights so much that you actively look forward to a trade war that is most likely to result in your own poverty.

How bad is the American education system that the word tariff doesn’t immediately inspire anger at national leadership? Tariffs aren’t foreign policy and don’t benefit consumers or companies.

I don’t really see that as Substack supporting Nazism per se (though that is the de facto outcome), I see that as Substack supporting themselves, because they get 10% of all subscription revenue. They’re using a fervent belief in free speech to justify it, but they just want money. At the end of the day, they have very narrow content moderation policies, so things like this will be allowed to stay (and their subscribers’ money will be allowed to remain in Substack’s pocket).

For comparison, look to Instagram’s recent content moderation policies that allow for open Nazi rhetoric to remain on the platform. But ultimately, yes, it does seem that they are openly hosting content and facilitating payments for Nazis and defending that choice. I wonder if they’re in a financial bind or if they truly are that zealous about (nearly) unmitigated free speech on a private hosting platform.

I dunno, were they? No clue, you’d know better than I would. Anyone can sign up, not sure how the funding works though.

Interestingly, some parts involved in auto manufacturing cross the border up to 5 times before being put into a car. Will they be taxed 25% every time they cross from Canada to the US?

Oof. People can’t even post memes about things that frustrate them now? A lot of trans memes are about shit like this, if we removed all those there’d barely be any left.

What are we in danger of? Having too many resources that don’t belong to the US? I’m waiting for someone to wake up and realize the third time’s the charm so we can stop having to entertain this idiot.

Hm, I didn’t know Charlie Angus had a Substack. I’ll give the piece a read later today.

If anyone likes medical dramas, my wife and I really like Skymed, it’s on CBC Gem. This most recent season (still ongoing) has been a lot of fun, the producers and/or writers have clearly been given the freedom to experiment with the format.

I found 20.0 on the first page of DDG but go off…

The only ones I liked other than OKCupid (which is owned by Match) are Scruff and Hornet. But they’re mostly only for men who like men and are hookup-focused, so not really suitable for dating, necessarily.

Houdini FX has a Linux version, you’d just have to find a copy of it for Linux.
