A former University of Waterloo student accused of attacking a gender-studies class with a knife last summer — sending an associate professor and two students to hospital — now faces 11 terrorism charges.

Fine, if it’s not an option. But it IS an option. Other countries can treat their ill. Fuck, THIS country could do it 40 years ago.

If we can spend money on MAID, we can spend money on treatment. There is absolutely no reason that we could not be offering treatment. If there was, then great. But it’s simply being withheld for fucking ideological bullshit.

How much do you think it costs to render MAID?? It’s not fucking cheap! Not even counting the societal cost. And if your argument really boils down to, “it’s cheaper to kill people than to treat them,” then sir, fuck you so hard.

I am one of those people you are talking about. Stop talking on my behalf, listen more.

20 years ago when I was well I thought it was a great idea. Things look differently when you have been suffering needlessly for a decade because proven treatment that could help you simply isn’t offered unless you are wealthy. Whatever you might think of what it does to the “level of suffering,” it is simply not an acceptable compromise for our government to offer MAID in place of treatment under any circumstances.

Why don’t we spend the CONSIDERABLE RESOURCES we are proposing to spend on MAID for mental illness on fucking treatment then? Yeah, it IS a great idea.

When the only additional supports the government is offering is death, it sends a strong message.

I think we do. I just think that the part of our mind that we identify with, the part that makes monkey chatter in your head and stitches everything together into a narrative you can understand, that part of your mind isn’t the part that makes decisions. It rationalizes decisions and tells itself that it made them, but it doesn’t have free will. But there is another part that does.

I miss Radio3 so much. Indie music in Canada in the 2000s-2010s was astonishingly good.

Humanity is not sustainable. Enjoy the ride.

Last winter I ran at least once every single calendar week in shorts. Climate ain’t saving anyone.

Of course there is no middle class!

They are middle class. In fact, there is no middle class, they are working class!! They do not own their own means of production, they are wage slaves like everyone else.

“Good cops” lie because they think it makes them good cops, keeping the scum off the streets who would otherwise go free on lack of evidence and other “technicalities”.

Which puts them squarely in line with the other contenders so what is your point

People say that “one person going vegan, not flying or not having kids won’t solve anything” but if one is not willing to do the fucking bare minimum, how the fuck are we ever going to fix this shit? Corporations don’t just pollute and despoil for the hell of it, we literally PAY THEM TO DO IT as consumers. It’s such a fucking cop-out to say that change has to come from the top. We drive EVERYTHING.

backyard gardens cannot pick up the slack, otherwise agriculture at scale would have never replaced it

It might be true that they cannot pick up the slack again like they have before, but we had industrial ag the last time it needed to do so; it doesn’t follow that the mere existence of industrial ag proves victory gardens can’t work.

This is unironically exactly what happens with coins. The metal has no smell at all but skin oil reacts with it to give it a scent when you handle it.

A bit fragile but I’m sorry I hurt you.

“Canada” is just a brand like any other. Don’t get attached, don’t believe the bullshit.

Oil comes from plants, not animals.
