bunnyofdoom posted:Ontario launches free legal advice program for sex assault survivors Pilot program in Ottawa, Toronto and Thunder Bay, giving 4 hours of free legal advice. Being from Thunder Bay (though, not currently living there), I'm both surprised to see that on the list and yet not. One, it's really small compared to the other too, and also incredibly isolated, but uh, it's also still Thunder Bay, I'm so used to us being either excluded or just forgotten.*  (* it's probably because it's the largest northwestern city and they want to cover the whole province)

Well, I voted Liberal to get Harper out, but I wanted electoral change (and legal weed, they better not back down on that), I did their dumbass livejournalesque quiz and I'll be back to voting NDP again myself. At the end at least I can still say Harper is gone, but goddamn it.

The whole minwage debate is really getting to me right now, because I'm constantly reading shitheels saying that minwage work is only unskilled labour and knowing that I've been looking for entry level graphic design work to do in town and it often only pays minimum wage or slightly above, and I had coffee with a classmate who is a creative director at a design firm and only makes 15.30. Like, these people act like having an education means you can make more than minimum wage, but no matter what I do I can't seem to escape it or get far from it. Even at my previous job where I made $2 above the min wage it wasn't a livable wage. But woe be to the job creators.

Entropic posted:I know that literally every time any brand unveils a logo the whole world dogpiles on with backseat graphic designing, but this really seems pretty Small graphic designer complaint, I'm really annoyed that they went with a San-Serif font without bothering to have it be monospaced, the fact that the O and the C align, but not the S just looks horrible. (the font is also really close to looking fixed width, but obviously isn't. It just seems like a really amateur mistake) edit: didn't notice the complaint was in the post, haha, but I'll keep my original post anyway, because damnit, it's true. I couldn't stand it, so I did a quick and dirty fix of it to show how wrong it is. (because it's quick, the S looks a bit thick, but ehh, it's almost 3am)

Yeah, I don't know what it is about on the fence liberals that think the way to go is PC, I mean, the whole thing about conservatives is the sell anything and everything that isn't nailed down and run the coffers dry via restriction. I had one tosser on facebook I added from my internship, but I kept him around because he is the poster boy for being against his own interests. He was so happy Doug Ford won, spoke up all of his favourite talking points and ended it with "but they better not touch my free education." He wants to keep other people down, he was pissed at the $14 min wage increase because HE was making $14 doing something with his education you see, and that's different, but HE didn't get a raise. But I'm fair confident, even if the PCs take away his free education he will always vote for them, because he just hates seeing other people get opportunities "they didn't work for it, b-b-b-but my free education."

Dreylad posted:the cynical take is that the liberals and tories are two sides of the same coin, which makes the deep hatred of one party while voting for the other very funny. yes, they will spar over social issues constantly, but much like other conflicts within our current cultural space - the 'classical liberals' vs the 'SJWs' you see online - this is liberalism at war with itself, with the dividing lines around how and where the limits of things like universal rights should be defined, or how best to raise good liberal subjects. Two sides of the same coin maybe, but the differences ends up being at bare minimum this. PC: We're the face eating leopards, yep Lib: We're face eating leopards, but we've put in place minimal support systems for (middle class) victims of face eating. I'll always take the Liberals meager handouts vs the PCs FYGM in it's entirety, I'll agree that there is very little difference, but there is some difference. The problem is indeed that neither party actually wants to deal with the issues that we actually face as a society.

I think my favourite PC talking point is "more of your money in your hands, not ours". When what they really mean is "we're offering tax cuts to businesses and we know they won't pass that onto workers in the slightest. but hey, we at least kept the promise that it wasn't in "our" hands." (board composed of ex-PC/Lib MPs who've reentered "private sector" work they prepared for themselves)

I probably should have seen it coming, but I am so beyond pissed about how the PC's are now handling legalization for Ontario. Ffffffffuck online saies, seems likes it's obvious delay and data collection, but the whole thing just stinks. I also: a. Don't expect it to work. b. Expect massive delays. c. Expect massive "no longer available" Instead of having a place in the municipalities to take care of it locally, they expect to deal with the entire province at once. All that's going to do is perpetuate the black market and create massive delays. Boring Story : As somebody that doesn't drink, I always wanted to have the LCBO experience but weed, just once, I've been to a lot of places to buy alcohol most are intolerable, but I can always stand being in the LCBO, and I wanted the employees to be unionized and for the whole thing to have some respect to it. Instead of more and larger headshops, I'm sorry, I like weed, I don't really care for weed culture and wanted a place that was maybe a bit weed culture-lite at worst. So yeah, I'm pretty pissed.
