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.

Motherfucker I am Jewish. Don’t lecture me on this shit. Maybe we’ve been saying it’s a genocide for 70 years because it actually has been. Israel has broken every agreement and treaty they’ve signed, murdering Palestinians and stealing their homes all with the backing of the most powerful nations in the world. If you wanna talk about supporting terrorists, maybe look into who funded Hamas for decades. Suprise, it’s Israel.

If genocide isn’t the right term, you should maybe tell that to the leading genocide researchers and historians telling us that’s exactly what is happening. Or maybe just read what Israel itself is putting out there.

Israel doesn’t represent Jews. They are Zionists and fascists. Never again means never again for anyone, anywhere.

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.

Brother, what the fuck are you talking about?

Hey did you know that “as a conservative” you’re a horrible person? I can’t imagine willingly chaining myself to a party that sells out every public service they can to make a buck, all while trying to outlaw trans and gay people.

Unions can’t do anything for people they don’t represent. Especially when there’s been rampant union busting and propaganda leading to a massive drop in union memberships and solidarity actions.

They’ve been trying, but when people vote against unionization, there’s little they can do.

What the fuck are you talking about? This is about as correct of a statement you could have on this topic.

Maybe your anti-union bullshit needs a reminder that union workers literally died for your rights as a worker. Y’know, like having weekends and child labour laws?

I think Jacob Geller is the best video essayist out there, he posts a nebula exclusive for all of his videos too.

I’m gonna be honest, I saw this coming. Maybe it’s because I’ve had experiences with abusive media companies (though not nearly this severe), but when I saw Madison left with no real explanation, I had a feeling something was up. I still follow one of the women who was on their camera team, and she posted some vague but knowing comments after the news first came out that Madison quit.

Fuck these egotistical tech bros that think they own the world because they got lucky. The worst part is they’ll never understand that they did something wrong.

When I was still watching I remember he said if LMG ever tried to unionize he would take it as a personal failure. The intention of that statement may mean well, but it’s a really not great view to have and profess. Unions can (and should) maintain a good relationship between the workers and management.
