Liessocial (love the name) is, believe it or not, a jacked up Mastodon instance. So in theory, you should be able to just add .rss to the end of a given url to get a feed of that page.

You can use RSS! As long as the accounts you are wishing to follow are publicly accessible without logging in, you can paste the link into rss.app and it will spit out an RSS feed that you can subscribe to.

Why do governments in this country seem to think workers' rights are fun little playthings that can be taken away as punishment if we displease them? That's not how any of this fucking works.

Workers' rights exist because large, angry, violent mobs demanded them. And we're not going to let them be taken away.

I pretty much despise Doug Ford and everything he's ever done politically, but his opinions on Tump are actually exquisite. As Canada's most preeminent asshole, he's final|y discovered a way to use his abilities for good and I fully support him in this capacity. That Reagan ad was chef's kiss. Keep it up, Doug!

Meanwhile, Carney continues to waste his effort trying to negotiate with a cheat and a liar. Trump has proven time and time again that he is incapable of upholding his end of the bargain. I appreciate the Canadian values Carney is espousing by de-escalating the conflict and showing an astounding level of patience and charity towards someone who doesn't deserve it, but it's completely lost on Trump. He's irredeemable.

Bank robbers lmao. Banks at least have the integrity to pretend they didn't create all their money out of thin air.

The problem is that it's mostly used as a hamfisted way for awful governments to overrule the judicial branch.

Let's say for example the premier of Alberta wants to arrest people for making fun of her on the internet. That pretty clearly violates the charter -- but she has enough support in the legislature to pass the bill. The courts can then review the bill and say "hey, we noticed this bill is an emphatic middle finger to the charter of rights & freedoms, we're gonna strike it down," to which the premier can respond "um, I don't remember asking you, because this bill operates notwithstanding any dusty old documents cooked up by the Laurentian elite."

And that's a perfectly legitimate action under Canadian law.

What exactly were those issues again? I was under the impression it was simply an abundance of caution to stop the spread of avian flu?

I'm curious to see just how quickly Hajdu will reach for that trusty section 107.

Whenever it happens, we're all in for some pure cinema as the feds realize they've already spent the last magic bullet.

 

CUPW has announced an immediate strike, and postal workers are currently walking off the job.

The minister of public works, Joel Lightbound, has announced his intentions to implement all of the recommedations laid out in the Kaplan report, including permanently ending door-to-door delivery and the requirement to deliver mail 5 days a week.

Not sure how he expected labour to respond to 1/3 of the workforce being made redundant.

Davey Havok is still out there, somewhere

 

Bit of a long read, but definitely eye opening.

The scary part is, they didn't end up finding out how people's identities are being stolen, and both CRA and H&R block were somewhat hostile to the investigation.

Tax season is coming up, stay safe out there. Be very careful about who you give your personal information to, and keep a close eye on all your accounts.
