There’s a HUGE lobbying effort to convince the people in power that this is a good idea. Lots of tech-surveillance companies bidding for this to go through, so everyone is forced to use their services. You think identity theft is bad now? Wait until you need to put your ID on the internet and that gets leaked.

Yellowknife has had a housing crisis for decades. Bad choice.
I dread the day I need to take care of my parents to that degree. Parents in the burbs, neither of the kids drive. It’s at least transitable and my parents were decent people. There’s still trauma but it’s healing.
Still, how do you balance work to pay rent with the need to care for ailing loved ones? Something’s going to give when the boomers start becoming disabled en masse.
Toronto might as well be it’s own province, right? The Portlands Gas Plant on the lakeshore in East Toronto is the #1 emitter of GHG in the city and while operating at under 40% capacity. The Province of Ontario wants to expand the production capacity of this plant and run it constantly at max capacity. Thanks Doug.
Will this still be the case after the layoffs? https://www.readthemaple.com/cbc-union-says-it-was-promised-no-job-cuts-this-year/
I agree. Important conversations, strange format choice. I do expect better of the Walrus.
Damn. Those TERF colours flying.
This was a tough read. In a supposedly affirming article, why would you mention the 88% detransition success rate multiple times when you’re going to bury the fact that the study has methodological flaws at the very bottom of the article in tiny footnotes?
Do trans people not face enough systemic barriers?
I left Reddit with the API fiasco and never looked back. Happier without it.
Well, it’s /r/Canada, which is just a right winged mod-controlled shit hole. All the progressives went to /r/onguardforthee a long time ago.
It’s that same sovereign nation’s acting chief asking for a DNA test. It’s between them now.
I live next to one such clinic in a huge city. It sure beats having neighbours OD in your backyard or shoot up on the sidewalk. There was a small vocal minority worried about their law and order who tried to shut down the site, and hundreds of neighbours showed up to tell them to pound sand.
Safe supply is healthcare. The people accessing safe supply and safe injection sites are much more likely to be getting help.
The city already has programs in place to reduce and write off property tax bills from people who are struggling.
Income is a poor measure of wealth.

2 decades ago, I was working in city summer camps. Every time there was a smog alert, we had to keep all the kids inside. Every time there was a heat alert, they weren’t allowed to run around.
So on the glorious days with heat and smog alerts, you’re supposed to somehow plan fun for 10-15 kids from 9-4 without running or going outside. There were not enough classrooms to keep all the kids in arts and crafts. Also, no running in the gym. Do this for days in a row.
I don’t miss that job.
They also own real estate under Choice Properties.
Does no one remember the Ashley Madison leaks including .gc.ca emails?
