I hope everyone is following that #Tesla sympathy strike in Scandinavia because it’s getting even better by the day.

Norwegian unions have now joined Swedish and Danish ones.

The Danish pension fund has announced its going to dump it’s Tesla shares.

Finnish unions are talking about joining.

And now this:

This whole Church of Scientology freaking out over how right to repair will force them to open up how their e-meters work thing is my favourite current side plot. 🍿

There is quite literally no evidence that deregulation improves the housing market.

Largely because we’re set on McMansions and condos, which is what unfettered developers build, almost exclusively, because of the margins.

Here’s what happens if tries to legislate around Meta and Google not providing news in Canada anymore:

They leave. Services get blocked, any domestic employees are terminated.

It’s that simple.

taco, to Canada

Weird take from the people who endorsed and defended holding the federal capital hostage to protest public health measures by the provinces, which is, again, terrorism.

It’s very interesting to me that Newfoundland does not pay a per diem to juries and instead requires their employers to give them a full paid leave for the duration of their duty.

Shitty for employers, great for juries and the public purse.

The GOP going ahead with trying to impeach Biden, without any evidence, to distract from Trump’s heavily evidence-backed prosecutions is not going to work out the way they think it is lmao 🍿

Blaming the federal government for the housing crisis makes about as much sense as blaming your local municipality for the military’s recruitment problems.

Am I making this simple enough yet?

taco, to Canada

Hasidim and ultra orthodox Jewish people are almost universally anti-Zionist.

I know this because I’ve actually lived among them. You probably haven’t.

Are they antisemitic?

taco, to Canada

It’s not a pronoun.

And, frankly, if you’re going to pretend to be a newspaper you should at least be literate.

taco, to Quebec

A real “show us your papers” vibe in right now.

Somebody tell the Western Standard that it’s inappropriate to masturbate in public.

Because that’s all this is.

taco, to Canada

I’m going to repeat this once again, for the slow kids at the back of the class:

People heating their homes with heating oil generally don’t have an alternative.

Our power grids can’t support mass electrification. They simply can’t.

Pretending otherwise will get people killed.

taco, to Canada

is basically openly admitting that it is unconstitutionally restricting the rights of its citizens with it’s new policy push.

taco, to Canada

Unpopular but absolutely correct take:

Google is entirely within it’s rights to stop carrying Canadian news outlets. It’s not even a little ambiguous.

taco, to Canada

It’s not free speech if no one else can freely speak the same way, Petey.

taco, to Canada

Dear white supremacists:

You know who repudiated the I Have A Dream speech? MLK fucking Junior.

Stop using it like it means anything.

It looks just as dumb as when you quote a literal colonial policeman (Orwell) on freedom and liberty.

taco, to Canada

The irony of news outlets now complaining that they’ve lost all that traffic after Meta has started changing it’s policies is that it really undercuts the notion that they were getting that news content without anything in return.

Unpopular take, but it’s also true.

You all got duped.

taco, to Canada

The Financial Post can fuck right off.

The asshole writing this actually claims that landlords don’t have their side of the story told.

Really? Because I see PostMedia trying to sell us landlord sob stories every fucking day.

taco, to Canada

Which they don’t have the power to do unilaterally, at all.

It isn’t happening, kids, sorry.

This requires the consent of all 10 provinces and both houses.

Setting aside that the Financial Post clearly doesn’t do any research before printing anything… less than half of Canadians who pay taxes are married.

This is textbook social conservatism: imaginary problem, awful solution.

taco, to Canada

The Catholic Church alone owns real estate assets in worth over $3B, and that’s an underestimate.

At 1% property tax, a pretty realistic average, that would be over $30 million a year.

Charge corporate taxes and capital gains on top that and it starts to look significant.

I’ll leave you all with this:

Now, look, I know what you’re thinking. Put it aside. He pulls it off.

This slaps in the most satisfying 90s way, I promise.

And worst case you’ll get to see Tom Green rock an epic Running Man at Jane and Finch in 1992 like it’s nothing.

Elon thinks he’s going to move out of Delaware with only like 12% of the voting shares? Lmao

No.

It would be a failure of the directors’ fiduciary obligation to the shareholders to move to a worse jurisdiction because of a petty personal grievance that is, ultimately, a win for the company itself.

taco, to random

I refuse to take seriously anyone who drove across the world’s second largest country to try to force a change in government and suffered zero consequences but think we’re in a dictatorship. About anything.
