Secularism isn't about hiding religion, it's about making it not matter.

And you'll recall that the laws in Quebec around this carved out exemptions for certain religious and cultural signifiers.

That isn't secularism.

Discourse has ActivityPub support coming via a plugin, IIRC, so it should be an option for Fedizens soon enough.

@julian@community.nodebb.org is also in the process of adding AcitivtyPub support to nodeBB, and it's really, really cool seeing a traditional forum UX with distributed users on https://community.nodebb.org.

I’m not racist but this is why people are very upset about immigration numbers.

No one's really thinking about TFWs or even wages when they're complaining about immigration. They're primarily thinking about housing.

The free market should be increasing wages not enjoying subsidized wages for below the legal market rate.

A free market would come with open borders (otherwise, the market isn't actually free), and it would be even easier for employers to find cheap labour.

Hey look, it's the "we refuse to hike wages" part of "why is nobody spending?" whine.

Yeah. Profit is what's left over after everyone who's done the work gets paid for their labour (including those with equity), so that means all profit is theft. Either the customer overpaid, or the workers were underpaid (or both).

The attitude shifted 40 ago to seeing the rest of us as merely holders of their money. It's just taken a generation for the idea to fully take root

Interesting.

MPs have immunity from slander lawsuits when in the House of Commons, but last I checked the NS/NB border was nowhere near Parliament Hill.

We live in very different places, then.

The thing is, those resources are directly under threat if autism is something that everybody has. That narrative turns it into an issue of personal coping skills, and not something anybody else should offer help with or accommodations for.

It's an excuse to tell people who need help to fuck off.

"Capital flight"? Are they tired of being laughed at for "brain drain" already?
