azi@mander.xyzto Canada@lemmy.ca•Caution Necessary In Face Of “Post-National” Nationalism4·4 months agoTo people who feel this way, Canadian nationalism is that which was defined by Lester Pearson’s flag change, Pierre Trudeau’s official multiculturalism, and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Further promotion of “post-nationalism” only feeds into this perception, and causes further alienation of those people who want to retain the Canada they grew up in.
Won’t someone think of the 84+ year olds who voted against Pearson
azi@mander.xyzto Canada@lemmy.ca•Caution Necessary In Face Of “Post-National” Nationalism3·4 months agoWhat’s funny about his imagined historical Canadian identity is that it always excluded non-Europeans but has always included francophones. Like I think if he learned what “speak white” means his head would explode.
It’s the habitual be, a seperate tense in Black American English
I don’t see what they would gain by doing that. The slim chance of staying in government until the fall is super valuable to the Liberals, giving the ability to get the new leader’s name out there and to prove that they can handle Trump.
Edit: Yesterday the NDP said that they’re no longer committing to bring down the government so I feel like the Liberals have more of a reason not to drop the writ. That being said, Carney said he’d be willing to call an election once he’s sworn in. So we’ll see
The new leader will replace Trudeau as PM; he said he’d step down as PM once the leader is elected. It’s just that the same day this happens, parliament will come back in session and almost certainly bring this new government down in a vote of non-confidence. The new leader will stay PM over the course of the campaign period.
Edit: The new government being voted down isn’t as much of a certainty. The NDP have walked back their promise to do so; not sure about the Bloc. Either one could prop up the Liberals.
haha the joke is that we all have to live under the thumb of imperial domination and its demands for conformity while you have the privilege of being from the metropole

They argue the act amounts to expropriation but then make no argument that expropriation is illegal. Like the argument could be made that this infringes on life liberty and security of the person and/or that there exists a right to enjoyment of property in the unwritten constitution, but no. I doubt any appeal court is even gonna hear this case nevermind rule in their favour
azi@mander.xyzto Science@mander.xyz•New Evidence Reveals Evolution Itself May Actually Be Evolving1·4 months agoIsn’t this just evolutionary radiation?
that’s not really true anymore is it though? in my limited experience now that nearly all AI is statistical, it’s mostly implemented in python, R, matlab, or the low level languages that implement their stats libraries like C and fortran
when you’re so much of a nerd that your favourite lang isn’t in the meme (it’s Ada btw)
how is a script not a program??

This was shortly before the pharmacare bill made it through the senate
And they stay insulating even if soaked all the way through. Perfect for hiking or trudging through snow
They’ve got it pretty good compared to some animals. Like at least they get to meet their partners or have sex at all
Elon enters the FBI’s inner sanctum and must solve the Vat’s riddles three in order to prove he’s not a gay communist
azi@mander.xyzto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Some Cybertruck Owners Say Their Trucks Are Shedding Body Panels; One Thinks He Knows WhyEnglish4·4 months agoClearly they’re shedding their coccoliths in order to increase their buoyancy and stay in the euphotic zone.
Tall Boyz: absurdist sketch comedy somewhat evocative of Kids in the Halls (which makes sense Bruce McCulloch was executive producer). Or hell just watch old Kids in the Hall.
Haven’t gotten around to seeing it myself but I’ve heard North of North is pretty good. It’s a sitcom set in Nunavut
Das Boot is also really good. A very raw and suspenseful Second World War drama set both in occupied France and inside a German submarine. There’s also no “pretend this guy isn’t speaking english” thing which is pretty cool. The actors actually speak German when their characters speak German, French when they speak French, etc. So most of the show is subtitled.
