unbanshee

Completely unsurprising given the political inclinations of its leadership.

Pepper's ghost cat, even.

I don't think I had thought about Red River since about 1996, damn.

Also, I regret to inform you that the the maker of Red River was sold to US food conglomerate JM Smucker in 2022.

"It is troubling to know that some communities are living in poverty leaving children in precarious conditions and others would use Jordan's Principle to access services a thousand miles away from the normative standard."

Gee guys, maybe this happens because you gated the funding by requiring people to apply for it?

Surprise surprise, the people who have the bandwidth to manage applications for funding are the ones who already have more resources.

But nah the problem is just that you didn't means test hard enough, that's definitely it.

Does anything in the linked piece claim it's foreign interference? The only thing I saw approaching that framing was the indication that Musk is based south of the border, and it was only once.

I don't think most people understand the process financialization, its wider-ranging impacts, or how thoroughly it's metastasized at this point.

I'd put that failure at the feet of every government of the last 40-some years, and on the fourth estate.

Telecom is critical infrastructure and this country is too geographically large for for-profit companies to bring good, cost-effective service to everyone, especially in rural areas. They charge us some of if not the highest rates in the developed world. Their business practices are predatory. Not to mention Telus' apparently unchallenged ingress into healthcare services.

Fucking nationalize it.

Yeah it's extremely relative.

My industry uses both, regularly, because we have machinery from both the US and Europe.

Where I live, two of the three trades you listed require completion of 4-year apprenticeships, including a minimum of 6 weeks of in-school technical training per year. It's much cheaper to train as an apprentice than it is to pay other post-secondary tuitions, and you earn an income most of the time you're an apprentice, but the reality is a lot more complicated.

And it's also very easy to be employed in most trades and not make that much. It depends on which trade you're in, how much punishment you can take, and whether you're in a union job or not.

Can't take credit for that one, but glad you enjoyed it!

Don't worry, I'm sure there's followup legislation in the works to limit disastrous climate events to a 4-day duration.

(This is still better than anything my country will do, of course.)
