Serious question, is there any statistic where Indigenous folks aren't on the lovely end of the stick? Do they at least have lower rates of Alzheimer's or something? Goddamn.

The early mortality rates tends to gently caress up the statistics.

100% of my nieces and nephews are indigenous for the purpose of benefits and such, I kinda wish my kids qualified too. Just a matter of slightly different spouse selection, we all grew up together.

I appreciate they are making fun of the terrible CPC social media strategy, but on the other hand the beer store is super terrible garbage / cronyism and should be shut down.

quote:

A legal group says it's suing the federal government over its denial of a Canada summer jobs grant to bible camps in Ontario and Nova Scotia.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms says it will back an action on behalf of Bible Centered Ministries International, which runs a camp near Omemee, Ont., west of Peterborough, and another in Cooks Brook, northeast of Halifax.

The federal Department of Human Resources and Social Development declined comment on the camps' specific application, but says in an email that the department refuses applications if the organization's activities "work to undermine or restrict" a woman's right to abortion.

It says applicants were given the opportunity to provide added information on their projects and "needed to demonstrate that they didn't include ineligible activities."

A news release signed by John Carpay, the leader of the Justice Centre, says Mount Traber Bible Camp and Mill Stream Bible Camp have received the job grant money for over a decade, but Service Canada rejected its most recent applications on May 2, and there isn't a clear indication of why.

Carpay says his group will ask the court for a declaration that the minister's decisions were unreasonable, and unreasonably interfere with the camps' rights to religious freedom.

Sorry champ, your religious freedom doesn't give you the right to accept public funds for a program that violates the Charter. God must have tons of money; have you tried praying for a grant?

I remember the local news here was criticizing the Federal Government for not giving the local christian youth group these funds while conveniently leaving out the fact that they used the money previously to protest abortion and the like. I was loving livid

I don't think this was posted before the Edmonton Journal took it down... or before the Belleville Intelligencer, of all papers, took it down. For backstory, Postmedia has been openly courting Jason Kenney to get in on their 'war room' to advocate for Alberta oil. Mikula is an Edmonton arts guy. Apologies if this was already here but I couldn't find it in the last week of posts in the Canada threads or in the search function.

Tim Mikula is great. I was reading this on the same day Kenney's team cancelled all their gas-station "getting rid of the carbon tax" photo ops because the wildfire smoke was too bad.

yeah and if you go to a park everyone is drinking beer and then just leaving their empties laying on the ground because homeless people will come and pick them up and return them for the deposit, and they see this as progressive charity instead of lazy littering

In Spain there’s also homeless entrepreneurs who will buy cold beer in a store and then sell it to you in the park, it’s pretty great.

I remember one time I asked for an ashtray at a restaurant when I was eating and drinking outside, and I was literally told to throw the butts on the ground because they have hired a man to sweep up discarded butts and if they gave out ashtrays he’d have nothing to do. Europe is an interesting place.
