Sorry, guard-prisoner privilege.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trudeau is watching what happens with the American election and will base his decisions on that. There haven been some parallels drawn already.

I truly hate what Conservatives have done to politics in this country.

Why is working towards a cleaner and better environment such a controversial issue? They’ve turned the political landscape into an outrage theatre on what pisses people off the most.

The whole family has a history of drugs, so it’s not surprising to anyone in the GTA. His brother was the mayor of Toronto, and there was a big scandal surrounding it at one point. He ended up dying, and Doug has had a grudge against the Toronto city council. One of his first acts when he became premier was to slash the city council by like half.

His family is rich so they got to bail him out when he did stupid stuff like selling drugs.

Doug Ford has a history of wasting taxpayers’ money and helping his buddies line their pockets with extra cash. He’s currently under investigation since he got caught selling protected land to his buddies and then rezoning it for housing afterwards, allowing the value to spike up by billions. And that’s just criticizing his corruption. He’s not a good person either. He got caught selling crack to high schoolers.

Oh yeah, I 100% agree with you. I don’t know what OP was thinking when making this post and listing those points.

How the hell did we even get into a situation where this is what we are choosing between? Or rather, a situation where roughly half our country actually thinks this is a choice and not just blatantly obvious based on basic morality.

Easy, we compromised :). We said ok we’ll meet you halfway on things that are absolutely crucial to humans rights for the sake of progress. Over the decades the right got more and more extreme as we continued compromising. It’s not just in the US. I see it here in Canada as well. I really hate it.

Call me naive or stubborn but these aren’t points I would compromise at all with.

Abortion rights: People have the right to bodily autonomy. Anything less means that you don’t own yourself.

Gun Control: People have a right to live safely and without fear or going to school to be shot up or at the mall. The fact that gun violence and school shootings are a regular occurrence is not a good thing.

Climate Change: Every single scientist is literally saying the next few decades will see some of the worst weather patterns in human history and that’s even if we go to 0 emissions starting tomorrow. This will affect humanity on a global scale and cause unprecedented population displacement and suffering.

Any compromise on any of these posts means you are causing some kind of demographic to suffer and die simply to appease the egos of individuals who lack empathy.

Good point, just did :)

The current top comment to the thread you linked to answers the question. Short answer is lemmy.world is now excluded from the numbers to avoid further centralization of uses to that instance.

Oh wow didn’t even see this. Thanks for providing the actual reason.

I sort by new a lot so it definitely could be that actually. Good point.

Very true, it doesn’t make it ok or justifiable but it’s a good point to make. The wording of the article made it sound like the practice continues to a lesser degree, but I could be mistaken. If it still does then to me that’s just unforgivable.

I already hated the post you’re referencing and this one is just even worse. Please don’t turn this into a trend.

School probably.

Honestly, what’s more surprising is the numbers are that drastic. I didn’t think we have that many Gen Z users here.

Thanks SorteKanin for providing the context.

Ford accusing Singh of greed is pretty rich.

True, he’s just so well known for the ongoing genocide and decades of oppression of the Palestinian population that the corruption charges are so easy to forget. Definitely helps put into perspective just how evil this man is.

A member of what appeared to be a largely pro-Israel audience policed Gibney’s language, interrupting the producer to clarify that Netanyahu had not yet been found guilty. The attempts at seizing control of the narrative, both on screen and off, didn’t end there.

Don’t you love when people make this argument? “Well he isn’t actually convicted of blatantly committing war crimes. Just well known for it.”

The incriminating evidence in the interrogation videos have already been leaked and reported on by Israeli media. But the videos will never be shown to the public (at least legally) in that country. According to Gibney, Israeli law grants privacy to subjects who have been photographed in official proceedings, which would make publication of the footage illegal. “It’s a peculiar law to Israel [that] doesn’t affect the rest of the world,” Gibney said.

Good thing the internet exists.

What a piece of shit.

They definitely intentionally killed her. They just didn’t intend to kill an American. And even then, this is the worse that they get? Pathetic.
