On the fediverse moderator actions are public, so you can see what the moderators are upto by checking the modlogs. I don't really understand what the context is here though

Wab Kinew now seems open to moving to a consistent year-round time, abolishing the need for us to change the clocks twice a year. This seems to be a bit of a backtrack since he was interviewed on CBC Radio One and said that his government didn't have time for this since they were too busy focusing on affordability and healthcare.

Unlike BC, which is keeping with permanent daylight time, the NDP gov is open to keeping permanent daylight savings time. This is because there are a lot of health benefits associated with the extra hour of sunshine in the morning, though this comes with the tradeoff of having less sun in the evening when more likely to be out and about. But nothing is set in stone yet. Surveys with the public are ongoing.

Hey man, the war could end before things get bad. No one knows at this point. At least stay alive long enough to see how things shake up. You never know you could be pleasantly surprised.

Seeing how temporary foreign workers are abused even in the heart of major cities like Vancouver or Toronto, I don’t even want to imagine what the working conditions are like on these farms. Allowing this program to expand, when we can be reasonable confident that it will lead to human rights abuses, is wrong. The feds need to get their shit together

For real. It’s like the feds are actively trying to radicalize young people.

I never thought about it until I clicked on this link, but repositories are actually a really good format for investigative journalism. Allows you to organize all the supporting documents alongside the article in an organized way.

Yeah. Must be something real juicy in those call logs

The exemptions would be retroactive

Makes me think that they must have got wind of a FOI request that requests some info that they really don’t want to get out

And this is exactly why we need to break our dependance with US tech

In essence, where -- if anywhere -- do people interact with people online?

This is it mate. We’re interacting right now

Case study: almost every other wealthy democracy in the world besides the US and how they deal with insulin. Living in a wealthy democracy and not being able to afford insulin is a uniquely American problem.

To your point, in the UK and Australia you can now literally get jail time for saying some pro-Palestinian slogans. So certainly there has a cultural and sometimes legal shift towards not tolerating opposing viewpoints and it is not healthy. That said this behaviour is not limited the right. The left is not very tolerant of opposing viewpoints either

Riverview, the Minnesota-based agricultural company that made the statement, is set to test the goal as it adds to its network of mega dairies by building two facilities along the North Dakotan stretch of the Red River before it flows north into Canada. One barn, near Hillsboro, will contain 25,000 head of cattle; the other, outside Abercrombie, will house 12,500. Together, the two will contain nearly the same number of producing dairy cows as the entire province of Manitoba (and will more than quadruple North Dakota’s quantity).

Sounds theres gonna be a lot of cows and the plans for cleaning up all the cow poop are a but shoddy. So there will probably be a lot of run off into the river, which will then flow into lake Winnipeg. This might make the water in lake Winnipeg kind of nasty as it will literally fill the lake up with cow poop and other pollutants. Not the kind of water want to go swimming in

I'm not asking about the ethics of lying, or whether lawyers may be justified in lying. That is beside the point. I am just asking: hypothetically, would it be possible for a lawyer to have a successful career while never uttering so much as a white lie?

Like, let's say the lawyer had some sort of spell cast on them, so they could never lie. If someone were to ask them a question, they'd either need to find a way to avoid answering or answer honestly. Would it be possible for a lawyer in such circumstances to still go on and have a successful career?

This is a bit last minute, but if you have any opinions on the provincial budget that you’d like to show, then now is your time to shine. Because the government of Manitoba has a survey put to gather feedback, and it’s open until March 12th
