The amount of nationalism that Tim Hortons tries to spray onto our citizens is staggering, despite most people seeing right through it and seeing the giant Brazilian megacorp cutting costs and gutting anything redeemable about Tim Hortons out of the stores on a daily basis.

The best part about that Vice interview is the guy calls out the whole outrage culture/right-wing counter culture all living in a bubble on university campuses and isn't really real outside of academia.

Which is true and correct. None of this poo poo matters when you have bills to pay.

Most teachers don't experience life outside of academia and don't understand how much of a bubble they live in. They're set up to be a horrible example to guide kids into the real world.

When you realize that the CERB is just an economy stimulus sent directly to the populace instead of to whoever the government choses - it's quite possibly the best and most fair economic stimulus I've seen in my lifetime in Canada.

The cons love to say people are squirreling it away and it's being abused - but surely it's mostly going into either debt repayment or into the economy; if it was squirreled away; it's sitting in a 2% HISA at best doing nothing, no big deal.

People love to ignore the fact that CERB is literally the most successful economic injection of cash in my lifetime and it was done by paying the citizens cash. direct.

The Conservatives would've given us a 5$ Petro Can gas voucher and a "tax rebate" at the end of the year while touting "more money in your wallet"

People were obviously going to take advantage of it - so be it. Let the CRA sort it out. If it pressures the CRA with capacity, well now you're a job creator good stuff. Landlords NEEDED to be paid immediately! Why hasn't anyone thought of the Landlords!!??

Hasan is incredibly important to exposing left wing talking points to terminally online people who are subjected to right wing rhetoric from everywhere they go other than twitch. The amount of people he's probably turned from reactionary right wing edgelords into a left leaning member of society is probably staggeringly high.

It's funny because we're kind of truly blessed with Twitch as they have created a platform where their firm and hard stance on poo poo means they're basically the only place on the internet were fascists can't congregate without (real) impunity.

It's horrible communications.

They're prioritizing the other two vaxxes for 80+

the Astro Zenica one hasn't been tested for 65+ so that's where the gap is.
