Binzy_Boito CanadaPolitics•Following in America’s Footsteps: The rapid growth of the far-right in Canada, and seeing the future consequences of that in America today, is the not-so-secret issue behind the issues this election.4·6 hours agoIt’s almost as if people go to the extremes when the status quo is to keep people in financial hardship.
It’s a little odd. Click the search icon on the top right of the screen. Put in the search query there, but in the community dropdown menu, search for the community you wish to make the search exclusive to.
Hope it helps.
Binzy_Boito Canada•Build Clean Power Grid, High-Speed Rail Network to Boost Self-Reliance, Local Leaders Tell Federal Parties11·21 hours agoRemembering 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.
Not my area of expertise, but try taking a look at this list: https://codeberg.org/Taffer/canadian-alternatives
Binzy_Boito Canada•Trump still wants Canada to be the 51st U.S. state, White House says23·21 hours agoYou’re not funny bro.
Got any other jokes to sell us, or are you supposed to be the punchline here?
Binzy_Boito Canada•Trump still wants Canada to be the 51st U.S. state, White House says562·21 hours agoI swear, Americans will sooner protest a Disney movie or Oreo Cakesters being discontinued before they end up protesting their country invading ours.
Binzy_Boito Fairvote Canada•Over 2,000 Canadians are delivering 300,000+ door hangers! From coast to coast to coast, people of all ages and backgrounds are stepping up to say: every vote should count. Join the movement for PR!2·1 day agoWould’ve been nice if they actually mailed me the 1000 I signed up for. Two people emailed later, and still nothing.
Binzy_Boito Buy Canadian•California tries to lure Canadians back, but B.C. minister says ‘hold the line’ on travel461·1 day agoAh yes, let’s travel to the state where the Govenor has a new podcast with his first guests being “I hope that black pilot is qualified” Charlie Kirk, “I’m banned from the UK for being so racist” Michael Savage, and “Nazi salute” Steve Bannon.
Oh yeah, and that’s a Democrat doing this, the “normal” political party in the U.S…
“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.
Binzy_Boito British Columbia•BC Health Coalition urges province to end contract with U.S. owner of LifeLabs7·1 day agoThem having a contract with them at this late date makes zero sense. Fuck private health care, but even if you wanted a private Canadian alternative, DynaLife is literally headquartered in Edmonton.
Binzy_Boito CanadaPolitics•Greens held back some candidates despite giving full slate to debates commission27·2 days agoTHIS FUCKER HAD ME QUESTIONING MY THOUGHTS ON GREEN PARTY LEADERSHIP, AND THEN HE PULLS THIS???
“Strategic” my ass, you give it fight, and you try anyway. What an unbelievable show of weakness that they don’t believe their platform is strong enough to win over voters.
Binzy_Boito Canada•Green Party of Canada Condemns Liberal Government’s Hypocrisy on Climate Action3·3 days agoAh yes, cause the less than one million green voters would have filled a nearly three million vote gap in November.
Just lemmy.ca yeah. My system uses the correct timezone for me, but when I check the date of posting by hovering over the indicator of how long ago the post was made, it just gives me the time in GMT.
No Name has an option.
Also while still an American brand, Lays has their Stax brand, and I believe their chips are made in Canada from Canadian potatoes.
Binzy_BoitoFuck The USA•Tariff Fallout: Mine Owner Blames China’s Actions, Not Trump’s, for Shutdown - Iron County TodayEnglish12·5 days agoChrist, with how many business owners are fucking idiots, maybe I oughta start one.
Binzy_Boito Alberta•Former Premier Jason Kenney warns against letting Alberta separatists dominate political agenda6·5 days agoHuh, something I agree with him on for once.
Binzy_Boito FuckMusk•Elon Musk responds with 'laughing emojis' to stories of workers' lives he's ruined: reportEnglish21·5 days agoThe things I want to say about this man would heavily violate Rule 2 of this instance.
Talk about a generalisation, yeesh.
Binzy_Boito Fairvote Canada•Sarah Liorah Goodman: We need electoral reform. Proportional representation would make every vote count and eliminate progressive vote splitting — and any need for strategic voting. FPTP sucksEnglish3·6 days agoNot even just progressive vote splitting.
You can absolutely sell this idea to supporters of the PPC by telling them that their party was robbed of multiple seats because of first-past-the-post. It’s shocking that they haven’t been advocating for this on their side of the aisle considering it would massively benefit their odds at representation in parliament.
Wish I could watch and see what specifically the video is about, but unfortunately on the bus and left my earbuds at home :(
In any case, not to self-promote, but I made this community little bit ago that I hope will help things out: https://lemmy.ca/c/maplemusic
