If they’re going to do this, then they better be supplying scientific calculators to students.

Still remember my family not bothering to get me one since we were “tight on funds” (ie, we don’t want to sacrifice alcohol and smoke money), and I used an emulator by the name of WabbiteMu in order to follow in my math class.

Not all students use their phones to slack off, and if they can’t access the resources they need to succeed on their phone, it damn well should be the case the schools provides those resources for them.

If this is gearing towards a referendum vote to separate from Canada, this will be this single dumbest thing the province has ever done.

So you mean to tell me Alberta would be better off with the people that shrugged Danielle off after all her effort to negotiate? That the province would somehow be able to magically do what it wants as a separate entity from Canada? I love when I’m a landlocked nation and need to ship my resources through foreign countries in order to get it to buyers.

Idiots. Fucking idiots.

This was a long time back, but Blahaj Zone defederated with the LemmyNSFW community a while ago since LemmyNSFW had a community by the name of “Adorable Porn”, reason being that they thought it was content that appealed to pedophiles and the likes.

The community had some irl pornographic content with cutesy sorta vibes, mainly of petite women. The admins of Blahaj Zone basically demanded LemmyNSFW remove the community, or they would defederate since they thought it was reverse jailbait, adults made to look like minors.

The community description didn’t really help at all seeing that it had the term “child-like” there, which is likely what set the spark for the entire interaction, but it was copy-pasted from a dictionary definition. Also pouring fuel on the fire iirc was the fact that the admins of LemmyNSFW have English as their second language, so that might have also gotten in the way of things.

It’s been a while since this all happened, but from what I remember they removed “child-like” from the community description, but Blahaj Zone ended up defederating anyway still of the opinion that the community’s purpose was to appeal to pedos.

I just remember seeing this all go down cause for a time since I was windowshopping for a new instance to move to, and was using Blahaj Zone’s website to check what was posted to 196, and saw it the defederation notice stickied to the homepage.

“Not a tiny selection of them who want to maximize rent seeking”.

Ah yes, indigenous people. The greediest people in the country. Get the fuck out of here with your garbage. Human rights are not on the debate table, and you frankly saying they want to “maximize rent” as if they’re leeching to profit off the country rather than have a means to reasonably support themselves fiscally is downright disgusting.

If a rich person decided to buy the resources off the indigenous, and they decided it was in their best interest to take the offer, then yeah, while I’d be opposed to the idea of that, it’s still their treaty rights to decide for themselves.

Treaty rights are human rights and they are not on the table, and to suggest otherwise in any matter is to ignore the bullshit indigenous people have had to deal with for generations. They are to be included in the conversation because they are quite literally more “Canadian” than anybody else in the country and deserve to have their voices heard and their standard of living raised just as any other person’s should be with harvesting our natural resources.

Answer the question directly. Do you, or do you not respect the rights of indigenous people to their ancestral lands? Do you or do you not believe they have the right to dictate the projects that happen on their treaty lands and how they benefit from those projects?

Or do you want to see Canada see the profits of the exploitation of these resources, all while these people continue to beg for fucking potable water, left behind yet again by the federal government?

Tell us how you really feel about indigenous people rather than hide it behind this thin veil.

So you’re of the opinion that we should just say “fuck you” to indigenous people and their treaty rights, and just continue exploiting the resources of their ancestral lands that we invaded and violated their rights to all to make a quicker buck?

What do you think is going to happen, that indigenous people are just gonna say “nah” and purposely be a pain in the ass for the government? Cause if that’s what you think of them, which this thought process of “oh this just gets in the way of things” heavily implies, then perhaps that’s a you problem and not a problem of the government’s to respect and reconcile with the people it’s fucked over since Europeans and the likes stepped foot here.

Ah yes the foreign interference of…

Indigenous people.

Eh, there was a situation a while ago with the LemmyNSFW instance that I felt was a bit much. However, the sidebar of the community they had issue with didn’t help LemmyNSFW’s case despite the fact it was a copy-pasted dictionary definition.

I too love learning how the brain works in my physics lessons.

Ew, AI-generated material. Gross.

Just a reminder that a Conservative vote is literally a vote to destroy Canadian culture with their plans to defund the CBC.

Article says everybody agrees on there not being any Canadian options, and it being a public safety issue. Framing it as “Conservatives are traitors, ammarite” is kinda gross here tbh.

Re-watching it, and yeah, has to be gagged. If you listen closely, there’s a small “click” after what at first sounds like “gay”, which is likely an “ed” sound.

I think he was trying to say “gagged” but it does sound like “gay” lol

I blame the fact that alt-righters seem to be so invested in the influencer sphere whereas the far left types like literal communists and all lack that reach as they quite literally are anti-profit and don’t get rich donor money to expand their reach.

It’s almost as if people go to the extremes when the status quo is to keep people in financial hardship.

Remembering how my sixth grade teacher back in like, 2012, was telling us a high speed train from Edmonton to Calgary would be a stupid idea, and that waiting for the hyperloop would be a smarter idea.

Hope he’s enjoying that curdled milk.

You’re not funny bro.

Got any other jokes to sell us, or are you supposed to be the punchline here?

I swear, Americans will sooner protest a Disney movie or Oreo Cakesters being discontinued before they end up protesting their country invading ours.

“We meet the criteria” no you don’t, you pulled several of your candidates and gave them the false pretext that you met the same criteria the other parties did.

The PPC didn’t meet the criteria and neither did you, maybe next time grow a spine and run candidates in Conservative-likely ridings because the fight for your cause is worth the uphill battle.

As someone in a Conservative-likely riding, I’m furious that I wasn’t given the option to vote and canvass for the Greens. Pedneault had me thinking that he was a positive change in the party leadership, and now the “strategic” decision to pull candidates in ridings like mine is coming to bite the party in the ass.
