Firefox has been doing a lot of caving in as of late. Librewolf is a solid browser, just gotta adjust to setting a whitelist for cookies but it's smooth sailing after the fact.

 

People always talk about the Grammys, but it's really high time that we as Canadians start treating the Junos as what they were intended to be: an awards ceremony recognizing the best that Canada has to offer in music and NOT a means of advertising Canadian talent to the American market.

ROOTING FOR CARIBOU AND BBNO$ WOOOOOOOOO

No fan of Kenney, but I really wonder what his approach here would have been in comparison to Smith. Would it have been similar or the same as Smith currently, or more similar to Doug Ford's approach?

I'll bite.

Personally as someone who is fairly left-wing, I feel like that religious tolerance is acceptable since around the world we see what religious intolerance tends to lead to. With Islam, it just so happens that a lot of countries that are in crisis currently are countries where there are significant Muslim populations, and that fact can be owed heavily to U.S. interventionism among other things of course.

I grew up in an area where we had a heavy Muslim population. I'm non-religious myself, my direct family is non-religious as well, but I did also have a spot in my teen years where I was very much Christian. While I do have my thoughts on religion and it's place (or rather, lack of place in my personal opinion) in the world, I think forcing people to comply with being secular is just as bad as forcing secular people to be religious.

The path forward I believe is engagement between religions, as well as between the religious and non-religious. Even though I consider myself agnostic, I did go to an Iftar dinner at a synagogue the other day as a special interfaith dialogue event, and it went great. Allowing ourselves to learn about others also allows others to learn about us, to which people can be swayed towards secularism if we respectively bring up why we believe what we do and what we perceive as flaws in religions that we learn about.

Do we have any Conservative folks here? Not Conservative myself, but if there's like a petition or something I'm more than willing to cross lines in supporting this call since this is just vile.

And the 70% who don't are doing... what exactly?

I'd file this under the "foreign interference investigation" folder.

"This isn't the campaign I expected to run. But when Ottawa insiders shut me out of the Conservative nomination, I knew I couldn't stay silent. I'm running to give this community back its voice,"

Bro calls out insiders after wanting to become an insider, more at 11.

I'd have a lot more respect if he ran as an independent from the get-go regardless of his politics, but nope. Surprise! The party that wants to backstab it's constituents wants to backstab people who fall slightly out of line.

I don't know man, must be really easy to not have to worry about your fucking country getting annexed, but that's the problem I gotta put in the effort of combating because y'all hardly seem to do anything but complain about things when they're bad rather than actually DO something about it.

OH woe is you, typical Americans, thinking that someone whose country is under threat by the one they live in is so much easier than already living in said country. Makes me wonder how many Germans in WWII looked at Poland being invaded whilst talking about how easy it was for Poles to judge them from outside borders.

They never seem to be there. All Americans ever seem to be is talk.

All these dumb excuses for constant inaction to the point where other fucking countries have to clean up their mess. I'm frustrated to the point that I want to see a policy implemented saying that if you didn't vote in the last election (assuming you were eligible to do so), you don't get entrance since you'd be more of a burden as someone who can't perform their civic duty

Man, living in Alberta is such a pain.

Never been on a vacation abroad, but this has really been making me think about how I should probably make a trip to St. John's for a vacation.

 

Hey all,

Trying to find a Canadian brand of toothpaste, or at the very least, a brand of toothpaste that isn't American.

Crest, Colgate, Sensodyne, and Arm & Hammer are all American brands from what I can tell. I already found a Canadian brand called Green Beaver, but they're one of those "natural" companies that for some reason thinks putting flouride in toothpaste is bad, and I really don't want to give any money to a company that continues to deny science at this late date.

Thanks in advance!

 

Hi all!

I've been thinking lately of following more Lemmy.ca communities where possible in order to help foster growth and community with Canadian fediverse users. I used to have a lemmy.ca account, but have since swapped to PieFed's software and have been finding it to be a much better match for me and my personal usecase.

I was just curious if there was a cooking community hosted on the Lemmy.ca instance. In going to the site myself and doing a quick search on the communities page, I was unable to find such a community. If there is one, I was hoping to be pointed in the right direction, as I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance, and Elbows up!
