@EclecticRadShow @wickdchiq McGill libraries are already open to the public. Honestly never heard of a university library that bars the public from accessing their main facilities during regular hours.

@wickdchiq I love this because it’s a great idea, but I also love this because of the thought of McGill and Harvard professors being forced into social contact with working class autodidacts.
English
THIS. Anyone notice how many empty shelves there are at the Ottawa Public Libraries?
saksham@saqshum
universities should open their libraries up to the public. im so sick of working from overpriced cafes with bad music
English
@BobsPraxis I find it so funny to go that far into deconstructing things and then stop at the little French colony and it's colonial struggles and be like, no but that's good actually
English
Fact that many in Canada’s left from communists to social-democrats still have “Quebec Sovereignty” as an item is precisely the problem. No party should be saying anything but indigenous sovereignty. That should be front and center. The whole Anglo-French divide isn’t real.
English
@janosch_ortmann @CraigSauve I mean if a socialist Quebec emancipating itself from a capitalist Canada is a problem for the NDP, I don’t see how that makes their position any better than PSPP’s?
English
@CraigSauve As long as they keep it quiet there's not really a problem.
But if a former NDP politician publicly aligns himself with the likes of PSPP on one of the most important issues in the province, that is a bit of an issue.
English
There are quiet sovereigntists in the Liberal Party and the Conservative party as well -and there has been for decades.
Quebec politics is not so cut-and-dry
…as this Ontario Liberal who is trying to score cheap points would have us believe.

Avi Lewis is in “common cause” with someone who says “of course I would be in the Yes camp” on a sovereignty referendum Says it all, really

@Hezbolsonaro let’s be real most college leftist would love to have an actual poor friend to complement their international rich kid friend group
English
Such a funny caricature to make up
“Check out my Che shirt”
“Uhh my dad had a ninth grade education”
“Wow, I am horrified to be breathing the same air as a peasant like you!”
This exchange somehow happened dozens of times
Sarah@amymarchinparis
My entire college experience was truly about meeting ppl with leftist politics who loved the idea of class struggle as an aesthetic but were horrified to learn my dad had a ninth grade education and I was in the same class as them

@NoLore he’d have to get all his twitter followers (how many are eligible Canadian voters?) to join and vote for him to maybe beat Lewis. How many would stick around after his failed attempt at entryism? They should have let him lose out of principle but there was obviously no upside
English
(and for folks who don't believe that Engler would have brought much into the party, anecdotally, people I know IRL who are progressive but uninterested in the status quo NDP were ready to join the party to vote for him).
English
Fwiw, Carney welcoming Gladu is pretty much the same as Yves Engler being allowed to run in the NDP race. This is the strategic difference between the two parties.
English
@_loweffort0 well scientific consensus hasn’t gotten everyone on board with handwashing but i’ll read whatever rebuke you might have of this pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC99…
English
@lexandre_denis @stalinistberet @michael_galant do you want to compare scientific consensus on the two or is something sounding snappy and vaguely analogous enough for you?
English
This is honestly so funny. Someone sent out a memo.

@farfigschitter_ @joolsd the british navy was built from canadian forests
English
@joolsd the ecological damage had already been done by the bronze age, by the time they were building loads of ships britain's forests were essentially highly managed timber plantations that could just barely keep up with regular demand. almost all of the navy's timber was imported.
English
actually it's more stupid than that, it was mostly cut down for ships, and much of the pasture is for sheep that make no money

crazy how they point to the UK, a temperate rainforest archipelago clearcut for wealthy ranchers, among the most nature-depleted countries in the world, as the paragon of sustainable animal farming Also 1kg of beef consumes 1451L of freshwater withdrawals, not rain. (Poore 2018)
English
@stalinistberet @michael_galant do you also whine about petit-bourgeois disciplinarians if someone asks you to wash your hands after shitting?
English
@michael_galant The absolute overwhelming majority of psychotic "long covid activists" (more like petit-bourgeois disciplinarians) are petit-bourgeois americans sad they lost a modicum of social power enjoyed during covid, and/or bourgeois libs wanting to "stick it to the right". It's symbols

@PeekThruFingers @Projekt_A119 @edmonton_eulers Quebec movies actually get seen in theaters. Anglo Canadian movies largely do not.
English
@Projekt_A119 @edmonton_eulers There is nothing good coming out of Quebec lmao
English
The thing about the canadian film industry is that it will always be a little bit chopped in an endearing way. The most high budget and mainstream canadian movie will still be more indie than the most indie american movie can ever be. Thats where the heart and charm comes from.
English
@Grochowa2 As far as annual music fests go, there’s M for Montreal Nov 18-21, usually good local artists. I think Mundial is also around the same time, more international music. October is a bit of a quiet month but there’s Pop in Sep that always has something worthwhile
English
any good shows playing in Montreal in October/November? trying to figure out when to go :)

perhaps the real consequence of letting a generation of boys play call of duty. ugly costumes

@redroomrantings I don’t recall anyone in Canada commenting about the murder of the democrat politician, her husband and dog, but everyone’s got something to say about a loser who never got over being friendless in college?
English
The fact that Canadian politicians feel the need to comment on today’s events is actually incredibly unnerving
English
like there is a reason government procurement is like this, other states have fostered in-house expertise, canada has decided it would rather funnel money into the private sector. Mulroney, Chrétien, Harper, Trudeau all played their part and NatPo endorsed half of them.
English
National Post editorial line: Privatize everything
National Post columnist: gee, why is it so expensive when the government hires consultants and private contractors for every single project
Chris Selley@cselley
App-developer friend shares thought about ArriveCan debacle: "It feels like whoever was working in procurement spoke with the first dev shop they found and was like 'How much will it cost? 50 million? 100? 200?'"
English
@TRyanGregory CP was profitable and isn't paid for by taxpayers. (you could argue indirectly through gov use of post but CP has always been funded by service charges) The problem is CP's mandate to deliver unprofitably to all Canadians when private corps can compete on profitable deliveries
English
Very smrt people: "Canada Post, which delivers door to door as a not for profit service paid for by taxpayers, should stop delivering door to door because it's not profitable."

Putain, ça fait du bien ! Enfin quelqu’un à la télé qui parle du Long Covid en portant un respirateur. C’est ça, bien représenter.
