The nation desperately needs police reform!

Stuff like this, or disabling body cam footage IMO should result in immediate termination and absolutely no union protection

There’s someone working for Kingston Ontario police who was harassing his wife/girlfriend. There was an article about him pleading guilty that kept the victim 100% anonymous… Then he makes public statements to the press. Reveals its his significant other that they owned a home together with. Claims he “pleaded guilty because he couldn’t afford a legal defense.” You literally get one whether you can afford one or not.

The guy makes 200k per year. Funny this hate criminal kicking heads is getting 18 months because so did this Kingston cop! A YEAR AND A HALF 100% PAID VACATION. Now he’s back with a comfy administrative desk job.

You know what happens when locals criticise the cops? They literally tell us “you should be careful, we might now show up when you need us.”

“politicizing disasters” to me just sounds like exploring the possibility that there are people and actions to blame…

Canada is ripe for the picking, we let our telecoms walk all over us.

I wonder how much of our “economy doing great” is just businesses generating GDP from crap like this…

That’s just the trickle down. Check the pockets and bank accounts, panama papers…

Don’t forget plain ol’ corporate greed

In other news, water is wet!

We used to have laws and regulations in place for stuff like this, same with the USA. As years passed they lost their teeth

…what do you get for $9 a month? I’m guessing you’re not in Ontario? Since I was a loyal long term customer I was lucky to get my bill down to 40 minus 10 bucks promotionally (which doesn’t show up in my account or say how long it’ll last) from 60 a month for 15GB of data. And now of course you can get more data for the same price or some shit as a new customer

Opening up to international competition is one option… Honestly we could have Canadian companies be competitive but that would involve work and effort from all levels: government, consumer, and business.

These dare the days of everyone wanting everything for free, but I’m not talking lazy hobos - I’m talking the entitled rich who think they can just keep sucking the rest of us dry indefinitely

…the reason “in some dialects of English native speakers really do say ‘should of’ etc” is phonetics. Kids hear “should’ve” and repeat it phonetically, before learning the actual words or their meaning. Combine that with the awful state of education and literacy in the USA (and other countries etc) and voila, you’ve got some armchair internet expert justifying it with some big words trying a weeeee bit too hard to make it work.

Then you’ve got teachers who still gaf and know their shit who will correct this before middle/high school, and no, last I checked it was never added to the dictionary or considered correct. Language of course is living and ever changing, but the line must be drawn somewhere lest we devolve into shouting and grunts like neanderthals

😂 this is why I avoided programming, focused on hardware, and ended up cooking in kitchens lmao.

I was never a fan of sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen all day, even if I was good at it. Even with how complex hardware is these days, it feels more orderly and defined, if there’s m wrong with your rig, it’s most likely x, y, or z causing it, and it’s almost always x etc

If the CEO got caught editing comments and posts, how do I know he didn’t just pretend to be a defunct mod lol

Probably because it’s one of their front page subs? My guess at least. Maybe the CEOs favorite 🤣

And yet I read something about them taking over one of the popular subs (adviceanimals or something) and removing all the mods and making it public again…
