You should look up time management strategies for people with ADHD because these are both classic symptoms.

I agree that the problem is not with him being on the ballot, the problem is that it seems an enormous portion of the population of the USA are willing to vote for him.

I think its like any other utility (water or electricity or methane) except that you pay for the generation separately. So imagine that for electricity you pay a service fee to the grid operator to keep your connection capable of a certain amperage, and you separately pay the hydroelectric dam for the power you use.

ISPs are the grid operator saying, yes you pay for 200 amp service but you've already bought enough power this month. Don't run your AC for the rest of the month.

I don't think endangering people is a good idea.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more infrastructure sabotage from ecoactivists. Train rails out of coal mines and into coal ports seem pretty vulnerable to acts that would reduce the profitability of burning coal.

It's a bad look man

I asked:

Would a strategy of making life in Palestine so difficult that everyone either capitulates or becomes radicalized [and therefore a legitimate military target] be genocide?

You answered "no". Can you elaborate on how you reconcile your answer with our understanding of genocide:

Genocide is the attempt to destroy a nation/ ethnicity.

Would a strategy of making life in Palestine so difficult that everyone either capitulates or becomes radicalized [and therefore a legitimate military target] be genocide?

What would that strategy look like?

Do you think Israel has an interest in there not being a Palestinian nation?

I've also gotten the sense of a major schism between Jesse and the employees. I don't keep track of which employee has what views do in not really sure what you mean by Jan Wong's red scare.

I don't think Jesse was amplifying Israel's bullshit, I think he was pushing back against it.

I don't know if it's drifting right or not.

I'm not the person you were replying to but thought I'd weigh in.

Canada attempted/committed (results varied) genocide of its first nations not by killing children (though they did do that) but by making continuation of indigenous ways of living/ culture untenable.

China is attempting genocide of its Uigher population in a similar way.

Russia's denial of Ukrainian identity and treatment of orphaned Ukrainian children is also genocidal.

Genocide is the attempt to destroy a nation/ ethnicity. It doesn't have to be murder factories to be genocide.

Do you agree?

Canadaland focuses on Canada, so Jesse tries to ask questions that are relevant to Canadians

journalism is supposed to be about distributing factual information

I have a friend in Canada that I know is trying to figure out if he should send his daughter to public school (eventually, she is still quite young) where she could face anti-Semitic treatment from peers/teachers, or Jewish day school where she could be murdered by extremists. (I think he was already more inclined towards public schools)

His concern is because of the increase in attacks on centers of Jewish community (eg schools & synagogues) in Canada. The increase in those attacks is because of Israel's disproportionate response to the Oct 7th attacks.

The question of Israel's accountability is probably quite relevant to him.

I agree it's strange and possibly inappropriate that the fact check was a text document, not a podcast.

But I really don't think he was acting as a mouthpiece the way you're accusing him. He repeatedly asked about the head of the Israeli military characterizing events as Jewish terrorism.

I think it's important to ask what responsibility Israel has for the safety of Jewish Canadians when hatecrimes rise as a result of Israeli military operations.
