infernal machines posted:I'm not familiar with Montreal's event, but wouldn't that have to be a fairly major threat to have it shut down like that? That's what I'm assuming. They claim it's due to lack of volunteers for security. It's *possible* because they refused to involve the SPVM, but that's something they would have known way before. So I'm also going with possibly some major threat.

Lack of volunteers is a pretty big problem. Here in Toronto the volunteer hub was double shifting just to keep up.

That's really unfortunate, but it seems like the kind of thing you might know somewhat in advance.

They knew they didn't have enough, but were probably hoping to rope enough people in at the last minute to make it happen. Bad look though.

The latest is that they actually just forgot to hire security, not that they couldn't find enough. https://allmediaword.com/parade-canceled-pride-montreal-forgot-to-hire-staff/ Seems weirdly fishy to me, but I can't think of a good reason why.

Given that a lot of security guards are basically wannabe cops, and ACAB, I imagine finding reliable security for a Pride event is a bit more work than it would be for a lot of events, too.

That headline really undersells what went on. I don't see anything inherently wrong with scientific investigation even if it counters my own assumptions, but this heinous cop was investigating the vaccination status of parents for no reason following what must have been an incredibly traumatic experience for the parents.

And maybe if those pure Albertan mothers have 8 or more kids the premiere can automatically be the child's godfather and they'll receive a medal from the Leader himself.

Yeah, merely restating the "great replacement" conspiracy theory in essay form is pretty tame for Alberta.

The government of Canada page with the winners is 404'd. https://www.assembly.ab.ca/members/related-resources/HerVisionInspiresWinners McGavin posted:Yeah, merely restating the "great replacement" conspiracy theory in essay form is pretty tame for Alberta. It also refers to supporting women who break into male dominated fields "misguided". In terms of clarity and structure, it seems better written than the first place entry. Some points must have been taken off for the latent racism and regressive gender ideals.

You know, the other day, Facebook was showing me random reels of German Shepherd dogs, and the first video it showed me, well, I was amazed at how many comments were about the GSD, and how nobody seemed to mind the picture of Hitler with the quote from Mein Kampf casually displayed in the background.

I think the Ontario PCs deliberately sabotaged the healthcare system so they can privatize it. The way things are going with emergency rooms shutting down it seems like the perfect excuse.

That's what the MB cons have been doing as well. Our healthcare system is completely hosed right now. I have some hope they'll lose the election next year but it's a very precarious hope. I'll enjoy if the keystone or Manitoba party drains them of the lunatic kkkonvoy vote. People say that vote splitting on the right will encourage the cons to cater to the nutjobs in their voter base, but they already do.
