Which part of diversity, equity and inclusion are you opposed to? Or do the quotes mean that Ubisoft is doing something nefarious in the name of DEI and I’m out of the loop?
It really seems to me that municipalities simply don’t have the resources to support housing. Housing is a national problem and leaving it up to municipalities only creates perverse incentives to drive people experiencing homelessness out of your community into another, which isn’t doing anything to solve the underlying problem. We need a national housing first program, but this story demonstrates the importance of getting it right.
Governments should also be building public housing, like yesterday. People scapegoat landlords a lot but they are also subject to the laws of supply and demand. The only two levers the government has are to decrease demand (e.g. cracking down on short term rentals, stunting our economy by limiting population growth) and increasing supply (e.g. zoning in the missing middle, building affordable public housing).
Ah yes, story we hear every week outta murica, them white folks, shooting their automatic assault rifles at the cops and getting away with it
I’m not saying it’s the same but the Bundy standoff comes to mind as a recent example where a buncha good ol’ white boys barricaded themselves in a compound, and they weren’t bombed. They didn’t fire upon cops but they did imply that they were ready to if they were raided.
Petitions are annoying, but I’m hoping some of us will want to sign this one! The goal is simple: Have the National Hockey League create a solution where the local broadcast announcers of the home team handle the broadcast for every nationally-televised game, such as the Stanley Cup playoffs.
That’s how I feel about Brad Marchand. Fans often say, “He’s the kind of guy you hate but you’d love him on your team,” but fuck that noise. I’d be embarrassed to have that floppy, chick-shit rat on my team. Maybe less embarrassing than only winning one playoff series in 20 years… but embarrassing nonetheless!

This is unsurprising. The ODSP shelter portion is about $672/month for a single person. It’s very difficult to find shelter for that amount in most places in Ontario, for one.
