Canada@lemmy.ca•Corporate landlords, financiers, CEOs are top donors to Scott Moe’s Saskatchewan Party
3·2 years agoAll right wing politicians follow the same route. Occasionally you will find a left wing politician who doesn’t.

Canada@lemmy.ca•They owned their cars for years. Now Ontario police say they're stolen property
5·2 years agoIt was sparked by a December 2023 complaint from Larry Grogan, a Watford, Ont., dealer, who accused his business partner of stealing them. The man is alleged to have transferred the titles into his own name, over a 4.5-year period, at Service Ontario outlets via forged documents, with many of the vehicles then sold on to unsuspecting customers.

Canada@lemmy.ca•'We need to take a closer look': Alberta's premier speaks on Indigenous deaths in police custody
111·2 years ago“We need to take a closer look, to see if there’s anything more we can do,” she said.
No, you don’t need a ‘closer look’. You do need to get off your political ass and do something about cops murdering First Nations people like it’s 1850.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Major music companies send letter to Canada’s CRTC, urging it not to regulate streaming as if it were radio
3·2 years agoUnder those rules, streaming services that are not Canadian-owned and have more than CAD $25 million (approx. USD $18.5 million) in revenue in Canada annually are required to pay 5% of that revenue into funds that subsidize Canadian content and creators.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Major music companies send letter to Canada’s CRTC, urging it not to regulate streaming as if it were radio
21·2 years agoBecause streaming is international while radio is local.
If international sites wanna play their music in Canada, then they should pay for the privilege.

12·2 years agoThis is Canada encouraging Canadian citizens to leave Lebanon for their own safety.
Where did you see this was talking about immigrants?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Premier Danielle Smith announces plan to change Alberta Bill of Rights
7·2 years agoTransgender rights in Canada, including procedures for changing legal gender and protections from discrimination, vary among provinces and territories, due to Canada’s nature as a federal state (but no one an be banned or discriminated against for changing their gender.)
Bill C-16, which passed in June 2017, added the words “gender identity and expression” in three instances. These words were added to the Canadian Human Rights Act as prohibited grounds for discrimination, and to the Criminal Code in two sections, the first dealing with hate speech and hate incitement and the second regarding sentencing for hate crimes.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Premier Danielle Smith announces plan to change Alberta Bill of Rights
10·2 years agoThe first PM to do this was Mulroney with Reagan (and his -nomics bs that’s led us to this hellscape).
If we had been smarter back then we never would have elected that idjit in the first place. All he did was follow Reagan around like a lap dog.

News@lemmy.world•She was accused of murder after losing her pregnancy. SC woman now tells her story
24·2 years agoYears ago my stepmother miscarried my brother’s fraternal twin in the toilet, and the only reason she knew to scoop it out of the toilet was because she was a nurse.
Nobody teaches women this is what should be done (so the tissue can be tested to check for reasons behind the miscarriage).
Blaming women for not doing it is as stupid as jailing women for it happening in the first place.
V O T E like your lives depend on it, because they do.

News@lemmy.world•Americans can order free COVID-19 tests beginning this month
2·2 years agoI couldn’t care less if anybody stares at me. I will wear a mask if I deem it necessary … and if any asshole wants to challenge me on that, they will find that this old broad has zero patience with idjits.

News@lemmy.world•The Haitian Times covered the false claims targeting Springfield. Now it’s also facing attacks
12·2 years agoThere should be a national law that says if you post verifiable lies on public media - whether it’s social media, interviews or statements made on TV/YT - you will be charged.
The fuck this shit keeps on happening without any legal way to stop it.

News@lemmy.world•Chief judge in St. Clair County says Illinois is safer after a year without cash bail
16·2 years agoAnd, surprisingly, the academics were correct. There is no meaningful difference at this point that we can discern as to whether you post bond, or you don’t, as to whether you’re going to show up in court.
Glad to see they relied on real data instead of staying stuck in fear-mongering mode.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Bloc Québécois says it won't back Poilievre's non-confidence motion, making early election unlikely
2·2 years agoThe Bloc has always stood apart, on its own, for its people. And I have always admired that about them.
Too bad the rest of our parties couldn’t take a page from the Bloc’s operating manual and do that once in a while … even just for kicks.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Loblaw using body-worn cameras at 2 Calgary stores as part of pilot project
8·2 years agoI worked there over 35 years ago so what I saw then is no longer valid now. I just don’t shop there now because they’re even worse assholes than back then.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Loblaw using body-worn cameras at 2 Calgary stores as part of pilot project
22·2 years agoBut this probably has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with employee surveillance with a pinch of voyeurism.
Yup. I worked for them many years ago. The shit I saw made me forego ever shopping there again.










Nobody cares what ICE or DHS says 'cause all they do is lie.
And America wonders why nobody wants to vacation there anymore.
