Today is Red Dress Day.
The MMIWG report calls on all governments to, among other things, “support the establishment and long-term sustainable funding of Indigenous-led low-barrier shelters, safe spaces, transition homes, second-stage housing, and services for [those] who are homeless, near homeless, dealing with food insecurity, or in poverty, …”
These are the responsibilities that come with a commitment to reconciliation. #NoMoreStolenSisters #RedDressDay

We should account for the fact that LPC allows free membership; how many more members would join the NDP if cost wasn’t a factor?

You know how sometimes your wifi stops working when the microwave’s on?
Did you know that microwaves are tuned to the frequency that will vibrate water molecules?
And did you know that the natural resonant frequency of water is 2.45GHz?
Now you know why it doesn’t play nice with 2.4GHz wifi networks.
Further questions: does having the wifi on impact microwave cooking results?

We’d love to have you at spore.social! We have proactive moderators and fine-tune the explore page to prioritize like-minded social justice oriented servers. We silence/limit large, poorly-moderated servers like mastodon.social, mastodon.online, and threads.

The Digital Services Tax was already a watered down alternative to making these companies collect regular sales tax. 3% instead of 13% (in Ontario). So now Carney is okay with taxing them zero percent, cool cool cool, extra benefits for the richest companies in the world #cdnPoli

Also known as an electoral district. Every riding sends one member of parliament to Ottawa

Okay grammar nerds, I have a #cdnPoli question for you.
I could never remember whether my riding is called "Kitchener Centre" or "Kitchener-Centre". Turns out it's both!
The version with the space is in English. In French ridings, where it refers to a part of a city, they use a hyphen.
But in a riding like "Kitchener South—Hespeler" (or, in French: "Kitchener-Sud—Hespeler"), the em-dash denotes one riding that covers two different places.
But can someone explain why they chose this format?

question, how does western Canada feel about votes being counted here in the Eastern time zone before your polls have closed?
Methinks the rest of the country ought to wait until after polls are closed in BC.

Hard to believe our governments want to expropriate & pave over Mountainoak’s dairy pasture, throwing their livelihood into question :(
