@ag10n @avidamoeba **Anyone else find this surge in "Papers, please" to be troubling? p.s. to any Canadian immigrant, or even 2nd or 3rd generational ones, hell, any non-Caucasian... citizen or not... I am so, so, so sorry Alberta is being such a bunch of racist whiney fascist fucks.
@ag10n @avidamoeba > Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election?Lol - do you know how many actual Canadian citizens this is gonna inconvenience? Ask your average Canadian voter (anywhere) what they used last time to prove at the ballot station who they said they were and I guarantee you 80% used their provincial drivers license. So now people have to rock up to a polling station with a passport or their birth certificate? Yes, we all just keep these on our kitchen counters, ready to go. If anything, the newly landed immigrants are going to have their paperwork* in order already.I can't wait for all the social media posts from angry multi-generational (i.e. coughwhitecough) Albertans being turned away from an Alberta polling station because they don't have their proper voter identification.
@grte Gift link.. because: thestar.com/gift-redeem?t=63cb(I pay to support the last Canadian-owned major media concern, Torstar)I find it interesting that in response to a murder spree here we're already looking at how the system failed. In the US they'd be looking for who to pin the blame on. And thoughts and prayers.
@avidamoeba funny. if they hadn't said anything I bet noone would have cared. But since they DO CARE about dev. ops enabled, that says to me, what are they concerned about? Is there a way I can monkey with my presto app data and ride for free?
@theacharnian A: yesFuck these bullshit leading question headlines. Remember when paper and TV headlines just said the thing outright? "Province attempts to sideline Indiginous rights: tribal elders outraged"
@WizardGed @CanadaPlus Heh.Well, lawyers can still be 100% effective advocate for their client but still think that legislation that helps their clients is evil. It's the ones who can't keep it separate who are bad lawyers.
@CanadaPlus @NightOwl To save more clicks, after an overwhelming torrent of backlash and complaint, they're already walking it back:reminetwork.com/articles/bill-GF is a residential and rental LTB stuff lawyer who works mostly for landlords and everyone at her firm was like "whoa, no. This bill is fcking EVIL."When the lawyers on your side are like "no, this is bad shit", you're bad and you should feel bad.
