guillotine fetishism is stupid. bring back burning at the stake. making the peoples' wealth disappear for the purposes of greed is a form of witchcraft, when you think about it

more relevant, can someone give me a decent rundown of this horrific Ontario budget? one of the many dog accounts i follow on Instagram linked to an online petition to protest the cuts, which is surely going to change nothing, but it got me looking. what i have seen (cutting healthcare and child welfare costs and shifting more burdens onto localities) looks pretty fuckin bad!

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
It's retroactively downloading hundreds of millions of dollars of services to the municipalities and then cutting the provincial assistance.

The cuts are bad, the retroactive part is hosed because the budgets for this year have already passed, the funding is allocated and committed, and we're legally prevented from running a deficit municipally.

My mom fled war torn Somalia during a time where she was loading magazines for my grandfather while the government was imploding and said some of the reserves in ontario are way worse than real warlords carving land off each other in the anarchist hellhole that was late 80's somalia (and quit nursing here because she couldn't believe how poorly canadians and the canadian government treated their own white elders). I don't know how Canadians stick their noses up to Americans over racism or even anything cause we're the worst of the ex british colonies.



edit: kinda funny too with all that considering what the canadian military did in somalia once they went in to 'peacekeep'

"nicer" = more polite but just as evil, only in an irrelevant country so people don't care about the bad things we do

"progressive" = a few socialists in the 60s got power propping up centrists because our two-party system isn't as strict as america's and they used it to improve all our lives, then boomers spent the next half-century trying to undo everything they accomplished

I know this is a genuine fear for a lot of people, and I keep seeing it raised so I'm curious. Is this something that the Governor general could block, and would they? Its been a while since I knew how our government functioned, and I can't remember who can block what.

The way the American Senate is put together (need 6 10ths to pass any law, senate is elected by increasingly smaller percentage of people), you really shouldn't.

Not that Canada's bizarre lifetime appointment Senate is much better, but the US is functionally stopped unless they get a new Constitution.

Its not that bizarre. Its how the Roman Senate worked, and the British house of lords. If anything its the americans that are the odd ones for having term limits and elections.

that's dumb. i hate when idiots lean on health canada to fix non-problems. we've been in a basically perpetual codeine shortage for years because idiot journalists keep badgering them about the opioid epidemic so HC has to constantly release statements about how they're going to "re-evaluate codeine being sold over the counter"

generally HC is a lot better than the FDA (although banning yohimbine was a stupid move) but sometimes they do dumb poo poo
