No wonder the cyclists needed protection.

I'll just leave this here

The right to collectively bargain and strike was fought with blood. Allowing unions was the better alternative to blood. Now they seem to be forgetting that.

Canadians are legitimately at risk traveling to the US. By not warning us, our government is undermining our trust in it and putting us at risk.

Unions and legal strikes were made possible because everyone agreed they were better than the alternative, which was factory workers dragging the owners into the streets and beating them.

I think they've forgotten this lesson.

I'm gonna say a squirrel or cat or something too. It's far more likely than an Amazon guy with a fully packed delivery schedule taking time out of his day to mess with your grass for some reason.

And I don't think that's a boot print. I don't see any crushed or bent grass.

I'm surprised he wasn't given a position in Trump's cabinet.

That's true, but you're spouting the usual climate change denialist argument.

It bothers me that the government of Canada has not put out a travel advisory warning about travel to the US. They have threatened our sovereignty multiple times, enacted illegal tariffs and kidnapped and detained 150 Canadians this year

They still list travel to the US as green with a "Take normal security precautions" notice.

In comparison, Germany is listed yellow threat and states "Exercise a high degree of caution" due to terrorist threats.

The government of Canada is ranking travel to Germany as being more dangerous than the United States. That's not just wrong, it's negligent.

They said "our planet is currently the coolest", not your local temperature.

Don't ever underestimate Trump's stupidity.

Canada also has the lowest number of doctors per 10k, and the lowest wait for primary care.

That's assuming you even have primary care. There's a desperate shortage of family doctors in Ontario.

IPv6 is 50% higher than 4, so obviously it's better.

What is the point in dying if it won’t make a difference

You wouldn't fight for your family sitting next to you? You wouldn't defend them with everything you have? Would you apologize to them for not doing anything to stop them being raped and beaten because "it wouldn't make a difference" anyway? Do you think it would change their view of you if you sat down when they needed you to stand up the most?

People in the comments (and West, in general) don’t understand how terrible war is.

Of course it's terrible. But have you thought about how terrible being subjugated by Russia would be? They already have a track record of kidnapping Ukrainian kids and doing who knows what with them.

Do you think once the war ends everything will be happy rainbows and cupcakes? Of course not. Conquering Ukraine is the first step in atrocities against its people.

It's amazing what a story hitting the news can do. This is why a free press is so important.

Climate change compounded with Trump cutting USDA funds and staff. They're the ones researching and fighting screwworms.

I've heard the main sticking point for negotiations is that the union wants to be paid for the time they're at work and not just for the time they're in the air, which is how they're paid now. They don't get paid for boarding, deboarding, cabin checks, etc.

Air Canada is insisting on demanding free labour from the cabin crews before and after their flights.

Fuck them.

Yeah, this would happen under basically any administration.

No, most administrations would recognize she's not a threat and would let her go home and make her attend a court date in the future to sort it out. Locking her up for weeks doesn't protect anyone and it doesn't solve anything. They're doing it just to be cruel.

That's not the point. Don't be pedantic. The point is that she shouldn't be in custody at all. They had the option of letting her go home with a court date. They chose to lock her up for weeks instead.
