Really?? That's hilarious. 😆 There's a lot of German info in the channel description, but who knows.

 

Interesting idea but I think it's gotta be made to work without helium to be viable.

If you beanpost, it is.

I receive a lot of parcels via Canada Post. Probably more than via any other carrier. Canada Post is almost always the cheapest shipping available and often by significant margin. Cost of shipping will increase if it's privatized. That means higher costs for many small businesses who now reach all of Canada. That means fewer sales, less money in local communities, more reliance on Amazon and Walmart, and more money leaving our communities, making us poorer. A cheap, national carrier is an economic enabler infrastructure for Canadians. I haven't looked at analyses but I'm guessing it would be a net contributor in terms of welfare. Similar to high-speed rail.

Yeah, I saw that and assumed they'd be torrents of the metadata.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Does anyone see the torrent links?

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

I'm not going to disagree.

I don't think so. We say and do things depending on interactions between people's prevailing attitudes, corporate interests and economic pressures. Some things are easier to say and do than others. Some things are desirable to say by more Canadians than others. Corporate interests are more aligned with some actions than others. I'm not making a moral judgement as to whetger we should be vocal about Venezuela. Personally, I'd like us to be but I'm not sure it's a good idea for Canada as a whole. I'm also making a suggestion on how we could put ourselves in a material position to be able to say and do more for people under threat.

Not quite. We're not much in a position to say much on this. Until we get out of our economic dependence on the US, being too vocal could make things worse for us without making things better for Venezuela. If we want to be able to do something we could perhaps send aid to the region. But more so get out of under the US'es thumb. If we gain independence, we'd be able to do material contribitions in events like this.
