Yeah because that's what all the money is going towards. Definitely not the incredible news coverage and investigative journalism. There's also this wild thing called "cultural programming" the CBC does, like highlighting and funding Canadian media and stories.
Fuck all the people like you complaining about them taking your tax dollars. If everyone paid equally for it, their current budget totals ~$3/month for every Canadian. If you wanna bitch about wasted tax dollars, how about we talk about the tens of billions in subsidies going to oil and gas?
Their articles are also extremely dishonest half the time. They seem to ignore any nuance in issues that very much require it to rile people up.
You can think this all you want, but they absolutely are the party of the working class. They constantly push for policies that would benefit the working class and most vulnerable people in the country, and advocate for solutions to issues that would actually change the status quo. Their proposal for electoral reform is the best any party has come up with. They've also been the only party showing up to union rallies and picket lines during strikes.
While the Cons and Liberals have been voting together on a lot of bills, the NDP has been fighting against their neolib garbage. They might not be perfect, but your "they're all the same" garbage only makes sure we stay in the hellish austerity cycle we're stuck in.
The main metric has been with Adobe apps. 2017 Macs with 8GB of RAM are still able to run Premiere and a few others things smoothly simultaneously. Windows machines with the same config were crashing constantly and kept going.
But I'm still not defending Apple here. It's been 6 years, and their base level MacBook still ships with the same amount of RAM.
In my entirely anecdotal experience, MacOS is significantly better at RAM management than Windows. But it's still a $1,600 USD computer, and 16GB of RAM costs nearly nothing, it's just classic Apple greed.
"Homes on public lands" is very different from "public housing". Public housing would work towards fixing the problem, what they seem to be suggesting only makes it worse.
This is part of the problem, Toronto specifically has to pay for two highways that are almost entirely used by people who don't pay for them. Building that middle density housing would fix a lot, but we'd actually still be in a difficult financial position, because municipalities here are so limited in how they can generate income. The province can override any decision a municipality makes whenever they want, and that neede to change.
Not without funding they can't. Cities got all the responsibilities for transit and housing, but none of the funding they used to go with it. The feds and provinces need to pay up, and fund cities properly, or give them autonomy to find their own funding sources.
The guy said that Hamas is fine because he doesn't think there are any Israeli civilians. Something even Hamas disagrees with. When he refers to "both sides" here, he means that he doesn't agree both sides have human beings getting hurt.
He was talking about the genocide going on in Gaza right now, and said that there were no Israeli civilians, because they're colonizers. Here is a link to the bit of the podcast. Really braindead, bloodthirsty, and (I don't use this lightly, because Israel loves using the term to push their propaganda) bordering on antisemitic take. Especially when Hamas themselves are saying to the press that "any civilian causalities are unintentional".
Stacked with his really bad takes on the Ukraine war, and it gets me thinking nobody should be listening to the guy.
Brother, what the fuck are you talking about?
Killer music scene with the Horsehoe Tavern, Cameron House, Velvet Underground, Lees Palace, and tonnes of others. Amazing restaurants of all kinds in the city, largely thanks to the MASSIVE immigrant population here. Amazing architecture, including some of the best examples of Brutalism you'll find anywhere in the world. The Toronto Islands are unlike anything I've seen in any other city. The largest streetcar network in North America that creates a very different streetscape vibe to anything else. Festivals like Taste of the Danforth and other street festivals highlight some amazing culture in the city, on top of TIFF being one of the largest film festivals in the world. And Kensington Market deserves a special shoutout for being unlike any neighbourhood I've been to yet.
You can criticize Toronto for not doing enough to support local culture, which I would agree that the Tory and Ford years really did a number on it, but it's outright wrong to say there is nothing special or distinctive about Toronto.
“Like New York without all the stuff.”
This line is said exclusively by people who walk down Bay Street and think that's the whole city.
Toronto has tonnes of its own character, and calling it "empty" makes me think you've never spent any time in it.
Sure. Why not.
It's more nuanced than that, but if you're going to reduce it to make your vague pro-Nazi point, then fuck off, yes throw them all in prison.
@spaduf it's not real, it's a spez protest community with no posts or subscribers. Honestly should just be removed.
Can we PLEASE make the top bar be customizable already? Or at least filter NSFW by default? It's a really bad look whenever I open this and "jailbait" is at the top of my screen almost every time.
Bro shut the fuck up. "Build more homes" won't do shit unless they're affordable, which they 100% will not be from the cons. Look at Doug Ford for exactly what they'll be doing. They'll blast through environmental protections and force municipalities to build costly, unsustainable sprawl that will get bought up by corporations and speculators trying to make a profit.
As for inflation, carbon taxes have 0 impact whatsoever. Inflation is being driven by corporate greed, which will get even worse with the cons.
The liberal party that has been in power is best described as neoliberal, which is a typically right leaning ideology. Their version of it is more centerist. Regardless, calling them "leftist" is factually incorrect.
Conservatives will always make things worse. They don't serve us, they serve themselves and whoever will make them the most money. Everything you're frustrated by from the liberals will get far worse with them in power.
The only party currently offering solutions is the NDP. Their housing plans involve policies that have been tried and tested in studies and in practice, they have a real plan for dealing with the climate crisis, and they're the only ones who will make electoral reform happen, which would end the liberal-conservative feedback loop we're stuck in.
Again, I don't care how you've voted. If you're considering voting for the cons with him in charge you're an idiot. Flat out. Conservatives only ever make things worse, every single time.
It's hilarious how cons think I automatically like our current PM because I think Skippy is an idiot. I don't care about anything you have to list, because I'm not talking about Trudeau. If the best defence you have is to attack some other guy, MAN y'all are in worse shape than you realize.
Skippy supported a group that was attempting to overthrow a democratically elected government, and constant pushes bullshit conspiracy theories.
Cool, he's also a lying scumbag that will do anything to enrich himself, and get himself more power.
So, how do Reputation Points work? Because I'm a little confused how I'm at -5. Is that system still under construction?
