Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

Okay. How about this? For a moment, Dems should pretend they are the govenrning majority of the House, prepare a sensible budget. Then wait for either Repubs to magically come up with many of the proposals for themselves. Or bargain for them to control Congress.
Do anything other than give in and give up.
Trump wants his life to be reality TV, and he is acting like it.
I can tell you this much, as a Canadian I refuse to pay for your American billionaire tax cuts.
“Ecological” and “Diversity” are two no-no words in Trump’s newspeak.
Counter government-sponsored hate with love. This is the grassroots organizing and community building I’m talking about. It might not look pretty but it’s by the people, for the people.
Ontario just re-elected a buffoon who offered empty words as a platform. Over his term he has burnt billions of Ontario taxpayer money to rip up contracts for green energy (only to restart similar projects later), alcohol sales (half a billion to speed up a deadline by 6-12 months). Yet, he only suggested he’d tear up Musk’s Starlink contract and went back on it when tariffs were called off.
If people are willing to let the rejection of a single code comment change for misguided reasons make them stop supporting a project completely, I suppose they can enjoy the Apple/Microsoft/Google/Mozilla monopoly on web browsers.
Remember all the O&G and oligarch funded propaganda over the last two years, to get Poilievre into people’s heads. It now turning sour in Canadians’ minds is the most delicious turn of events for me.
Yet another meaningless stunt by Rustad.
What is interesting but disappointing here is that Conservatives lead with under 35s. I thought that Conservatism here would die off with the boomers but clearly not.
Poilievre losing in polls against an empty chair is hilarious and I’m all for it.
It’s like a family restaurant’s kids menu colouring activity, except for bigots.
That feature to search a multitude of websites via Duck Duck Go was a gamechanger when I found out about it some years ago. I’ve not gone back since.
Quick FAQ:
A: Check your spam/junk box, gmail and outlook can be very finicky. Applications are vetted by each server’s admins, but the applications are only visible when the email is verified. If no success after 24 hours, try another instance.
A: You can actually post on that server without leaving the site you are logged in on. The URL syntax to visit a remote community is [your instance]/c/[community name]@[remote instance]. Example to visit https://lemmy.ca/c/canada with a lemmy.world account, go to https://lemmy.world/c/canada@lemmy.ca. Mentioning the community similar to this form: !canada@lemmy.ca in Lemmy will create a link that takes you directly there.
If you are visiting this post from another server, paste this link, https://lemmy.ca/post/39118714 into lemmyverse.link, set your home server, and it will automatically find the same post on your server so that you can comment. Some apps save you the trouble automatically. The rainbow pentagon is the permalink button to easily get the original link.
A: Two ways: 1. stay on All or Local and use blocks. Block users, communities and instances that post content you don’t want to see. 2. Find communities you are interested in, subscribe to those, and use the Subscribe feed to see posts exclusively from those communities.
A: Have a look at https://lemmyapps.com/, these include web interfaces, android, iOS and PC apps. On lemmy.ca you have a couple alternative web frontends, try https://old.lemmy.ca/ (for old.reddit.com users), https://alex.lemmy.ca/, https://photon.lemmy.ca/.
A: That’s for you to judge. Reddit is run as a for-profit publicly traded company, intent on scraping, hoarding and monetizing your data for itself, showing you ads, and getting every nickel they can siphon out of you. Lemmy is open source, and while the admins of lemmy.ca have control over its accounts in a similar way and have generously contributed significant resources, this server is run by Non-Profit Fédécan. Other servers will have their own admins, each with their own strengths and faults. The organization and the Lemmy developers will always appreciate your support, but isn’t interested in monetizing your data or ads. Friendly reminder when using public forums: what you post here will be open and publicly available for everyone, freely and equally.
How Interac e-transfers for your booze!
Sidenote: We do need a Canadian option for card-based network transactions. Banking and financial services is something CanadaPost could take charge of to become profitable, instead of laying off workers…
