It's wild how conservatives constantly have the worst takes on absolutely everything. It'd be funny if I weren't so worried. How they always end up having whichever opinion is furthest away from scientific consensus and/or human decency is actually absurd. You'd think they'd at least occasionally end up having a few reasonable, well thought-out views.
I'm mostly planning on working, because I need to afford rent and groceries.
If I'm lucky, I might try to get some time off and do a small bicycle tour in PEI.
People who know history are aware that "15 minute cities" were the norm before car-centric infrastructure appeared.
I'll echo someone else's suggestion of trying out James Hoffman's French press method. I get pretty clean cups while still retaining that oily goodness.
Mezmerize was one of the first albums I ever owned around age 9. I knew almost every song by heart and would constantly sing along to them in the car. I have a vivid memory of singing this song in particular in the parking lot of the local mall when my dad finally decided to tell me what "cock" meant.
It's the risk of knocking it over and making a huge fucking mess, it's thrilling.
Then they did some consultations with the public and said that not enough people wanted it.
Worse than that, Trudeau straight up said "People wanted electoral reform because they were unsatisfied under the Harper government, now that we're in power everything is fine and people don't care about electoral reform anymore."
Source article in Le Devoir (French), I'll quote the relevant part here:
« Sous M. [Stephen] Harper, il y avait tellement de gens mécontents du gouvernement et de son approche que les gens disaient “ça prend une réforme électorale pour ne plus avoir de gouvernement qu’on n’aime pas”. Or, sous le système actuel, ils ont maintenant un gouvernement avec lequel ils sont plus satisfaits. Et la motivation de vouloir changer le système électoral est moins percutante [ou moins criante] »
If your VPN has Canadian servers, CBC always has a very good website for watching the Olympics and IIRC you only need a Canadian IP address to access it.
L'nouvel album va sortir le 26 avril! J'suis déjà ben hyped pis j'ai mes tickets pour le premier soir à Moncton!
NB has never been a safe haven for queer people, but the brazenness of homophobes and transphobes has increased dramatically since Premier Higgs' attack on trans youth and policy 713.
I personally know quite a few drag performers in the province, and every single one of them consistently receives death threats and harassment on their social media.
If you vote conservative, fuck you. The rhetoric of the Conservatives (both provincially in NB and federally) is directly influencing the rise of hate crimes towards people I love. If you still support these political parties, you are either uninformed to a ridiculous degree (in which case, please educate yourself before giving your support to people) or you're a shitstain on society.
