“Draft bill attached,” wrote a lobbyist representing two influential fossil fuel trade groups to the lead counsel for the West Virginia state energy committee in January 2020.
Beautiful! The cat tree you made looks great, and what a lovely gift. I LOLed at the closeup of Koda sleeping in the tree (his facial expression indicates a deep slumber :)
Just a friendly reminder that you can block communities you don’t like
Savvy stretching
Yeah, retaining nursing is a big deal. In Ontario, I think we have 150,000 nurses. The government’s approach to nurses leaving the workforce post COVID because of poor working conditions has been to graduate more nurses. But a new-grad nurse is not as competent as a nurse with 10 years of experience, and so the ‘graduate more nurses’ approach does not offset the competency drain from any excessive churn of experienced nurses
Adorable! My brain sees a patch of a ginger cat style to the right of the face and just below
I know google’s amp links are BS designed to keep in you a google ecosystem and never take you to the actual content creators’ sites. Do you mind outlining for my and others’ edification what’s not to like about CBC’s links with “amp” in them? I’d love to know. Thanks!
I know, right? Especially if the doctor is that floofy and blissed out
I think I might have mistakenly sounded like a Conservative talking point. My point was supposed to be that I think many people who vote left of the Conservatives see Justin Trudeau as the lesser of two evils at best, someone who has not delivered on their promises, and someone who seems increasingly out of touch with the needs of working Canadians.
I vote NDP and am fortunate to have almost always have lived in NDP ridings. I mean to lament how disappointing it is to have the most realistic alternative to PP be so unappealing, especially against the incredible showings of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz who’ve shown how momentous progressive politics can be.
I, personally, don’t think Trudeau has a chance against PP but that any decent replacement candidate for the LPC would probably have a slight advantage against PP to begin.
More than anything, my concern is the detrimental effects of a Conservative government. And JT staying on the ticket seems like most influential factor at this point
Technically, it’s probably the government providing too little funding to school boards to cover hiring enough qualified teachers. But you’re right; this is clearly a structural problem:
More frustrating, she says, was learning that schools in the anglophone system are still short by 32 teachers — and three districts of the four are relying on 132 people on local permit contracts.
The Cons want to accelerate inequity among Canadians in health, wealth, and everything else. That’s a huge problem. I think it’s safe to say Canadians are sick of Justin Trudeau and his out of touch with everyday Canadians approach. His ego is going to keep him on the election ballot and the only question about the government that forms will be Conservative minority or majority. I feel like we’re all hostage to Justin Trudeau’s ego right now. Looking south of the border, Biden and camp waited until the decision was made for them. I don’t see the same forces converging in JT’s case. I think things are going to have to get very very loud for JT to wake up to do the right thing. I don’t know how helpful the mainstream media will be in acknowledging popular interest in left-of-centre politics yet staunch opposition to JT at this point
I ‘converted’ 1 person, and then she converted 3 generations of her family. I had mentioned something along the lines of “why love one yet eat the other” (e.g., dog and cow/pig/chicken, respectively) a little while before. She approached me and said she was thinking about what I’d said and was re-evaluating how she’s always seen things. I listened non-judgementally. I answered her questions. A little while later, she told me she’d been vegan for X weeks. She loved how the new diet felt on her GI system (never bloated)
It sure would be useful if Trudeau believed that passing proportional representation was the one thing he could do for a viable bid for re-election at this point
I love the Vegan Society! They make a great multivitamin (blackcurrant > orange, imo)
So long as we only compare ourselves to the US, we look great on many fronts, and that’s what most Canadian politicians and mainstream media do - which is absurd and serves an agenda. Compare us to all OECD countries (same as or similar to wealthy peers), and we look middling or abhorrent on many fronts. For example, I know we’re almost at the back of the pack of ~40 countries in terms of disability services. I realize the article is probably about economic indicators more so than health and quality of living. My comment is really “who we compare ourselves to matters a lot to the evaluation” and comparisons exclusively to the US are self-serving and of little value

Democracy in action, all voices carry equal weight, majority rules, etc. /s
Great shot, and I really like the wood and white combination
Thanks for taking over the reins! This sounds like a neat idea.
I think a sticky post is a good format, because the post rules can be displayed at the top to remind people. Ideally, I think those would be as succinct as possible, and I’m happy to help. “This is not debate a vegan” might be a good one. I think it’s okay if the rules evolve over time as new issues come to light (lol). I’m not sure the ‘juice will be worth the squeeze’ for the proposed flair system. But I think the point is something along the lines of identifying what the poster’s diet/lifestyle is and/or what diet/lifestyle their post is in reference to. That could be a rule/recommendation. I’m trying to describe the types of good faith questions: information, advice, experiences, opinions and perspectives. I like your examples! You could put them in a spoiler, so the post rules are succinct but there’s more info for those want it.
Loaf and blep? Jack’s giving the people what they want!
