I’m for Trudeau that he got to end his term on a high note, with about as good a baton pass to his succesor that he could hope for.

The soldiers are proudly liberating Russian citizens… from their possessions.

Note that the problem states that the outer shape is a quarter circle, information not provided in OP’s question.

Knowing it is a quarter circle is important because it allows us to validate that the bottom-right angle is 90 degrees.

Imagine trying to explain any of this to a President Nixon coming straight out of the Watergate scandal…

If he’s there, the cameras are going to cut to Trudeau’s face more often than Taylor Swift at the Superbowl.

Tell it like it is!

Supporters of the electric car company and CEO Elon Musk had called for a boycott of the show, but organizers say it instead set a new five-day attendance record of more than 138,000.

LOL

They say in a news release that Saturday’s attendance of more than 42,000 at the Vancouver Convention Centre also broke the one-day attendance record.

LMAO

I get the feeling you have. However, if you’re going to characterize the concrete actions I have just described as trolling stunts, then there’s really not much the two of them can do on their own.

A general strike should happen, but you know that’s not the only way. Small acts of resistance add up to slow the machine.

AOC personally went into a department, passed around letters reminding the staff of their rights and the obligations of their office before DOGE staffers visited the same day, which stalled them enough to get a court injunction in place before DOGE staffers could intrude and be given unfettered access to their systems.

To your first point, I don’t think individual Americans like her will take flak from Canadians for who they are (though if the prospect of actual invasion may come things may change). She may face some educational comments about our norms, like I have done.

To your second: It’s totally reasonable to be concerned about Carney. Wait and see a bit, but in the meantime write to your Liberal, NDP, and Green MP candidates about what you would want to see from a Carney government. Since the PM is new to the position, he might have more open ears to listen to what people want.

Primary billionaire backing democrats, stop DOGE in its tracks, inform people of their rights, resist fascism rather than let it happen like Schumer is.

Correct! You sign up here but it lets you post on any site that runs Lemmy (or a software that support’s Lemmy’s protocol like mbin and PieFed) and is connected to here.

If you are coming from Reddit, the communities are like subreddits except that they might be here or they might be hosted elsewhere, but you interact with them without leaving the site you signed up with (lemmy.ca in your case). The way you do it is instead of going to https://lemmy.world/c/news (the News community on lemmy.world, you go to https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected]. Community mentions (the equivalent to r/something) are in this form: [email protected]. Remember you are subject to the rules of the community you post to in addition to the server (just like a Reddit user would have agreed to Reddit’s terms and follow subreddit rules).

It is otherwise pretty seamless, the main thing is you have three feed groups: Subscribed, Local and All.

Subscribed works like you’d expect: you go to communities you like and subscribe to them, then that feed shows only posts from those communities.

Local shows only posts from communities hosted where you signed up. On Lemmy.ca that means Canadian city and Province communities, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and a bunch of others. You will still see posts and comments that people from outside lemmy.ca publish to these communities.

All shows you that plus stuff from every other community from servers we are connected to, which tend to be bigger and more populated. Sometimes a big news story from [email protected] makes it to near the top of All. You can block annoying users, communities or entire servers to clean up any of the feeds above.

Thanks for joining Lemmy, hope you have a good time.

Mm, I might have agreed with you about the American-like use of the Canadian flag at the height of the trucker convoy protests on Ottawa.

But our current situation is a bit of a different movement, that is Canadians taking back the meaning of the Canadian flag from anti-vaxxers and xenophobes.

Yes. I cited my source as that dated thing, education has since seemed more focused on Indigenous studies which were kind of an afterthought when I was in school. And I’ve had a lot of catching up to do when it comes to awareness of the Indigenous roots of Canada.

I think this credible threat from Trump is giving Canadians the opportunity to pick up this “thread” you mention that ties us together from where we dropped it, which could plausibly be around 2015 with the beginning of Justin Trudeau’s leadership.

Carney is being viewed as a pragmatist, and his words, as a person who puts themselves a little left of center of the spectrum have gotten me cautiously optimistic of his ability to enact real progressive change, and get less caught up on culture war bullshit stuff.

Crime should be prosecuted regardless of race, but there are multiple ways of solving the roots of crime. Locking people up with little chance of building back a stable life is a quick ticket to recidivism, but so is no consequences for crime. There’s a continuous discussion on that and I don’t have a good answer besides to address poverty and provide more non-crime ways for people in communities that suffer from rampant crime to live.

This article calls it “outdated” supply chains? Call a spade a spade, for goodness sake. The problem is not the age of it but the consolidation of producer firms. Call out US anti-trust enforcement that has been as effective as a wet piece of paper.

Catching real criminals is hard. Pretending innocent people are criminals is easy.

JBL sounds like your audio gear, depends on what. Bluetooth, USB audio ot 3.5mm jack connections generally work fine without issue. (Installing PulseAudio Volume Control will help you with finer grained volume control). Some DACs that require custom Windows drivers might not work.

Gaming stuff, Steam will have you covered, Lutris, Heroic, or itch.io for non-Steam stuff. The one unintuitive thing you have to do once you log in is to go to Steam Settings and check the “Use Steam Play for All Titles”. Just like that, 75% of your library that only have a Windows version will suddenly be playable and you’ll hardly notice a difference: just Download then click Play, that’s it (maybe a bit slower launch time).

I would recommend Firefox or Librewolf over Chrome as you have done already, but you should know that Chrome and Chromium do work on Linux FYI.

If my memory of grade school social studies doesn’t fail me, the American idea of multicultural identity is different than in Canada. This difference is typically described as the American melting-pot vs. the Canadian mosaic.

It’s less about blending into the mainstream culture, and more about bringing the best parts of our backgrounds and upbringings to the table. If the writer has visited Toronto much at all, it should be readily apparent: From the diverse ethnic neighbourhoods, the food, the festivals and events, to our council are of various racial backgrounds, but we are all Canadian.

What Canadian culture generally asks is to leave harmful parts of other cultures at the door. Caste systems, discrimination, foreign police interference, gun violence etc. (Obviously pockets of it exist and we’re not perfect).

I’ll cut to the chase - what Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez have done that so many other Democrats seem to have a tough time with, is correctly identifying the problem as wealthy businesses and individuals hurting Americans through their brazen and unchecked extraction of wealth, and rallying a broad base of people over that. The DNC has picked up the approval of everyone who is happy with the Democrats trying to become more Republican (so they’re at like 29%).

In modern Canadian political parlance, the writ drops, like news breaking. It doesn’t work as well anymore in its original form, as the writs can’t draw themselves up.
