In the flurry of nationalism right now it’s tempting to ignore that the “link tax” policy which extorted foreign companies to pay for our news was Canadian governance at its worst.Rather than tax digital services equally and fund journalism we tried to extend our convoluted CanCon Public Private Partnership system beyond our borders. This is a real wake up call to reform this whole weird system.From: @mgeisthttps://mas.to/@mgeist/114761272838469012

Throughout history the majority of people do not try to pack-up and leave until it's too late.Two prudent things you can do:1. Write a list of redlines for when you'd immigrate. 2. Research the answer to questions like "Where will I go?" and "How do I get my money/family out?" etc.

My list so far:- Freezing the bank accounts and assets of a large number of people I agree with.- An election result being overturned by force.- A term limit increase pushed by a strongman.- The banning of corrective mechanisms (Banning electoral reform, news outlets, alternative political parties)

Two pieces of excellent news!I ran a trial of a breakfast program years ago. The feedback was so positive, everyone LOVED it!It didn't just help with concentration, it increased attendance for kids from rough homes with empty pantries. The food at school became a major incentive to come to school. For a few dollars they got fed and got a day of education in a safe environment.This is #Canada matching the marketing. Lets be this country.#canpol https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-school-food-automatic-tax-canada-strong-pass-9.6934474

Question for Canadians: Have you or anyone you know been fucked with the “You can’t get on this flight with your non-Canadian passport because you’re a citizen and you also can’t enter with a tourist visa because you’re a citizen so suck it and welcome to 48 hours of hell emailing the embassy”Flavours of this have managed to catch 3 members of just my direct family over the years. They still haven’t fixed it!

@kini might be something to do with it sitting unlisted for a week in draft, then when I made it public it didn't seem to publish it so I made it private and then public again.#PeerTube does have an odd way of handling unlisted->public videos. On YouTube when it goes public, that marks the published date. On PeerTube the date is the upload and encode date.

@Bearshark @kevin most of us have been here for quite a long time.A wave arrives, after a month 90% of people leave, but the 10% that it works for stay and the population grows.

Serious question regarding this product, a colossal 762 meter roll of plastic wrap.

Would you be more likely to buy this product if they rounded this up and made it 1000 meters long? AND put it in very silly over the top packaging making a big deal about how it was 1km long and “potentially visible from space” and “a lifetime roll” and “pass this onto the grandkids” etc.

@kini yes I already put this into my document as a way to talk about the metric system.
