For the millionth time, pick up a history book and look at how well "massaging egos" works against fascists

"your work" it's a meme

What a tantrum to throw over a clunky reference with a far more popular modern meaning.
jcrmxyz.bsky.social
Funny, I'm the one actually articulating arguments here, and you're melting down because your pretentious reference has a far more popular meaning. But I'm the troll?

Right on, sure thing b.

Yeah man, I read the book lmao. Someone's insecure about their own intelligence I guess.

Good for you. But mindset doesn't mean shit, policy does.

...you had to use an ai to read someone's handle?

Almost like it's a coloquialism, and not a literal statement.

As for asking so so very nicely, how'd that work out for electoral reform? The liberals will never change the status quo, and you're wasting your time waiting for them to do anything.

Scrapping capital gains tax for one. And trying to force airline workers into a shitty contract. And massive cuts to Canada Post, including treating their workers like trash.

Brother he's never doing UBI. If he's as smart as everyone thinks, he knows the benefits of doing it. But it doesn't serve the corporations and execs that are *actually* who he's serving.

Literally yesterday he refused to sign in a bill that would have protected trans youth. He's not your ally.

AFAIK Bread doesn't have social media outside of YT, she's a really cool multi-hyphenate. Really gives me old school small internet vibes.

Fuck your language policing you condescending prick. Pure anger is the completely acceptable reaction to watching an active genocide take place, while my government does nothing to stop it.

Don't be an asshole and people won't treat you like one.

In addition to this, "build more homes" is a bad idea as well, because of the restrictions we place on what kind of homes you can build here. We need to encourage better land use and density, and make communities people *actually* want to live in.

Aforementioned "they work for the people, not corporations".

Also yes, they employ regulations literally every day. That's like, the main job of the government.

Someone sign me onto their lease so I can run against this asshole and get him off council.

And I absolutely can blame the feds for not keep corporations in check, and holding them accountable to provide good, stable employment for Canadians. That's supposed to be their job, not making sure the execs have it nice and easy.

I'm not a new grad.

Carney and Joly love to talk big about how Canada is a haven for academics, but I can thoroughly attest that is false. Our institutions have no ability to bring these people in.

I blame the austerity mindset that both Ford and Carney are following.
jcrmxyz.bsky.social
My role was cut as a response to the restrictions in International students. While Ford has been the one attacking post-secondary, the feds very much have the power to stop that, and have ignored it.

In Toronto we have the Deep Lake Cooling project. They built huge pipes deep out into the lake, where the water is about 4 degrees year round, and use it for cooling systems.

There's also other places in the world that use waste heat from various sources as public home heating infrastructure.

Yeah I'm really gonna listen to who's cool from the Wall Street Journal.

How about for me? I have a masters degree and about 10 years of experience in academia, and I've been unemployed for 10 months now.

I don't want to retrain. I want to do the job I was doing. Your cuts don't help that.
