I think you brought up valid points and people are kind of over reacting. I agree education is the problem but what you said also got me to see the "not vaccinating myself is causing harm to others" viewpoint. Some here are being rude instead of engaging in better conversation. Your comment got me to think and read others.

Nice write-up. I thought I had a large library (24TB) and my off site backup is starting to get full. I backup everything though but I have long debated on if there's a point of keeping movies and TV since they'll likely always be available. Anyway, I never thought of generating a list of files and eliminating the stuff that's not particularly important. Good idea.
I just read this for the first time about a month ago and it was my first thought reading the article.
What sort of thing do you write? I'm always uncertain how to word these types of emails.
The website this article uses (https://www.bankingonclimatechaos.org/) is extremely interesting and holds a lot of data.
Looking at Enbridge as an example it reports that a total of $86b was invested from banks between 2021 and 2024. The info that I cannot find is how much Enbridge invests into infrastructure like transmission lines or how much of that $86b went towards renewables. Enbridge has "commited" to Net-Zero by 2050.
I am 100% for transitioning to cleaner, renewable energy and getting Canada into energy independence. It's going to take time and money and professionals. Companies like Enbridge aren't going to stop producing carbon, but I think they are going to be the ones that make the biggest steps towards getting us there.
I can see your point about the housing crisis in a way. It restricts people's ability to have a place to live and, shelter. But does that really affect their freedom? Cost of living also is difficult but it's not really preventing you from being "free" in the sense of the word. Or is it? I may be missing the point.
I'm completely ignorant to policing issues, especially in Vancouver. I generally don't agree with law enforcement having too much control.
In my region of BC the reconciliation stuff has been very well received mostly. Indigenous people are a big part of the community and their culture has expanded into the school system, their businesses are successful. Housing projects for indigenous have also been going on constantly.
Why do you think so?
How do you find frigate with the NUC? It works pretty well?
Is the only thing that's going to fix the housing crisis actually reducing the cost of homes? And nobody actually wants that to happen.. so...
I thought it was funny 🤷♂️

I'm not sure why you assume this but my wife and I both work in high school (grade 8 - 12) which is part of a small, fairly conservative community. Our administrative staff all the way up to superintendent are extremely supportive of these types of things. Inclusion and awareness is very important at our high school for everyone. We also have social media education introduced in multiple classes. About 3/4 of all staff are female and neither of us have witnessed this type of misogynistic behavior. Our struggle is racism, antisemitism and intolerance.
I'm not saying that misogyny isn't a problem, I experience it on instagram and YouTube all the time and the comment sections are insane. My point is that administration does care, we are encouraged to include this type of education in our curriculum and we talk about it during staff meetings.
