B.C. port union weighing industry-wide strike, employer claims
  • How will the hells angels deport all of Canada's missing indigenous women as sex slaves and import all of Canada's fentanyl if all their employees strike? Hopefully their other company, the VPD, can save our precious organized criminals. Maybe it's time to cash in on those years of political donations and frame these workers as essential so the smuggling through Vancouver can continue unabated.

  • BC Liberals Enriched the One Per Cent. The NDP Have Been Fairer
  • The Liberals are going to lose the next election. If we push hard, we might get another NDP official opposition in a conservative minority. That might be the best we can hope for, but it's still pretty good.

  • There are too many of these people on lemmy
  • I'm not. I'm saying both are bad. The others mass murder too. Choosing them out of spite for the first is wishing a similar mass death on someone else. You'd be as guilty of those deaths as liberal voters are for yours.

  • Nancy Pelosi did what she’s always done
  • Shutting down legitimate criticism of leadership is MAGA type thinking. Knock THAT off. Pretending the politicians you support are flawless or deflecting valid grievances with whataboutisms is not how you hold your party accountable for its shortcomings.

  • you can set your watch to it
  • Some people think criticizing is the same thing as not supporting.

    If you want things to get better, you have to honestly and critically examine your leaders, not blindly support them and pretend they are flawless. Shutting down criticism is short-sighted nonsense and will only lead to worse candidates in the future.

  • History Is A Thing
  • This is very true. Traditional archeology was very top down, all about who ruled where when. Modern archeology is lot more about finding out what everyday life was like for regular people. Experimental archeology has really taken off in the last 20 years, people living long stretches in strictly period lives.

    These folks do a great job of creating accessible documentary series' of their experiences living period lives for long periods. Here they visit an entire castle being made with medieval methods by archeologists living medieval lives: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL72jhKwankOiwI5zt6lC3eQtsQDxOaN_g&si=ZNevj_CuevNrMwNr

  • Trudeau outlines details of $30B, 10-year fund for public transit
  • The electoral reform lie was especially heinous. It's not your average political lie, it was THE central pillar of his campaign. It had massive support from liberals and progressives and was why they swept up so handily that election. Comparing that to silly small campaign promises is disingenuous.

  • Trudeau outlines details of $30B, 10-year fund for public transit
  • They promised to end poverty for those with disabilities with Bill C-22. They switched out the actually disabled MP as head of the ministry with some suit and this new benefit isn't even a fifth of what's needed and reaches only half of those who need it. They say it's just the foundations to build on, but they'll be handing the reigns of this benefit to the conservatives soon enough who are certainly not going to improve it (despite unanimously voting for it).

  • Star Trek shows come in varying degrees of quality, but one thing that has remained consistently good is the casting of Amanda Grayson, Spock's mom.

    She's always this small, fair skinned dark featured woman, but more importantly is her strength and gentleness, and how they empower eachother. The subtleties are differently from series to series, but they're all good portrayals of a complex, interesting character.

    A new kickstarter for a game that will surely appeal to this crowd: Starship Simulator

    Explore a 1:1 scale milky way galaxy alone or with friends on a meticulously built Starship. I suggest trying the tech demo on steam, running through the cold and dark startup tutorial, then finding your first black hole. It's a lot of fun even in its bare bones state. Very friendly discord with active devs, too.
