Is 13 too young to work? A Saskatchewan proposal has reignited debate around kids and labour
  • I went with this page:

    Canada’s provincial and territorial governments are responsible for education. They follow government standards to ensure high quality public education across the country. School is mandatory for children from about the age of six years old to 18 years old. Our study environments are safe and welcoming.

  • Is 13 too young to work? A Saskatchewan proposal has reignited debate around kids and labour
  • Schooling is mandatory until 18. Any other activity has to not interfere with that. Beyond that, do what ye will.

  • How Ukraine shattered Europe's balance of power
  • The entire post war international order was to make sure Germany does not engage in military power politics in general and France does not do it in Europe in particular. The EU functioned as designed and that's good. WW2 is still too raw for anyone to accept German military power in Europe. It's just not politically acceptable.

    And the author completely underplayed the role of NATO. The deal has always been that American muscle will be funded by German money. The EU and NATO are not at odds with each other, they complement each other.

    Also, bro should not drop a quote every other paragraph, it makes it annoying to read.

  • Please vote
  • Oh shit, so it's only going to get worse, isn't it?

  • Please vote
  • RBG, Feinstein, now Biden. Selfish geriatric boomers should learn when to retire.

  • Rate of older adults losing secure housing is on the rise.
  • We need a goddamn UBI and a the definancialization of housing.

  • France Is Headed Towards Its Most Feral Right-Wing Regime Since the Nazis
  • What's (not) funny is that the French far right is just slightly to the left of the US Republicans.

  • ICC decision on Netanyahu arrest warrant may be delayed by UK
  • The ICC arrest warrants were never going to deter anyone from doing anything, so the UKs stalling tactic is therefore irrelevant to saving lives. In fact, it gives the court a chance to strengthen its jurisdiction. Not worried about this.

  • Israel destroys 11 homes in West Bank village amid spiralling violence
  • "Why are the Palestinians violent?"

  • Oh Joe...
  • Politicians didn't keep their promises after being elected.

  • Turkey attacked Kurdistan Region over 800 times this year: Monitor
  • Turkey using its loudmouth support for Palestinians as a cover to deepen its campaign against the Kurds.

    Same hypocrisy and double standard as when US officials condemn Russia's crimes but feel very nuanced, conflicted, appalled but understanding of Israeli crimes.

  • Chinese Foreign Influence Campaigns Trying to Seed Anti-Western, Pro-China Sentiment in Canada, Study Says
  • Oh fuck off.

    Free the Uighurs and free Palestine. There, happy?

  • Oh Joe...
  • Canada also has a FPTP system and we have like 5 federal parties. But it's also a Westminster parliamentary system that allows temporary alliances, minority governments, support and supply agreements and other power-sharing arrangements.

    The American system is unique in their imperial presidency and aristocratic Senate and supreme Court, where so much power is concentrated in so few people for such a long time that every election becomes a high stakes cosmic event.

  • New German citizens required to affirm Israel's right to exist
  • The majority of European antisémites have zero problem with the existence of Israel "out there". They are more than happy to see the Jews leave Europe for the middle east. American antisémites are fantasizing that Israel will be the site of the Second Coming of Christ who will then turn all the Jews into Christians.

    This observation alone should tell you everything about why it is stupid and wrong to use attitudes towards Israel as proxy measures for attitudes towards Jews. When the antisémites pass your metric with flying colours whereas Jewish anti-Zionists fail it, your metric is just shit, simple as that.

  • New German citizens required to affirm Israel's right to exist
  • Oh but you are wrong ☺️. 145 out of 193 countries recognize Palestine ☺️.

    You are expressing a disgusting degree of bigotry and hatred. Does that make you feel happy ☺️?

  • Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month
  • Arguably, a much more critical job for a capital-intensive army.

  • UN tells Israel it will suspend aid operations across Gaza without improved safety, UN officials say
  • Unsurprisingly, that's when your interlocutor disappears from the conversation and you're not going to get a response, obviously.

  • UN tells Israel it will suspend aid operations across Gaza without improved safety, UN officials say
  • Of course. If only Palestinian society was afforded the same amount of nuance.

  • UN tells Israel it will suspend aid operations across Gaza without improved safety, UN officials say
  • Define "all". Because the status quo ante before October 7th was already a fucking crime.

  • Quebec's housing crisis goes beyond supply and demand, says new report

    Submitting for this truly astonishing quote:

    >" Landlords in Quebec, however, feel they need to catch up to other provinces as Quebec is still one of the most affordable places to live in the country, said Jean-Olivier Reed, a spokesperson for the Quebec Landlord Association (APQ)."

    The Age of Sigmar double turn is an albatross round its neck

    >The double turn is an attempt to use a very simple system – a single die roll – to introduce a very dramatic outcome – comebacks – in a game that wants to provide an even playing field for competition.
