Justin était bon pour faire des promesses (le scrutin proportionnel, de kessé?) et pour dépenser. J’en connais une couple de gars comme ça, super sympathiques et agréables, sauf quand vient le temps de réparer les pots cassés laissés derrière eux. Je préfère pas Carney. Ça ferait du bien si le NPD pouvait rentrer, même si je suis plutôt souverainiste. À date, Avi Lewis a l’air pas si mal.

Ça va être tellement abusé par le corps policier. C’est quoi la définition d’une insulte?

City councillor Carla Beauvais heavily criticized the administration for not providing clear definitions. She also questioned the lack of public consultations. “A threat can be proven. An offensive word is felt. And how a person feels can vary from one person to another. So where does the offence begin? Where does permissible anger end? The text doesn’t say,” said Beauvais.

She cited various decisions from the Quebec City municipal court in which judges could not agree on what constitutes an insult, raising concerns that the rule will cause a backlog at the courthouse.

Encore plus de raisons d’être stressé.e inutilement par la présence policière. C’était tellement l’enjeu qu’il fait réglér en priorité, tsé. Et le racisme systémique des agents de police? Aucune enquête du Bureau d’enquête indépendant qui a mené à des poursuites? La police qui attaque des journalistes lors des manifestations?

Je suis cynique, mais Soraya voulait le corps policier de son bord. Voilà, un peu de clientélisme et on passe au prochain dossier.

We often get watermelons from Ontario in Quebec, sold at grocery stores. Bought one 2 weeks ago, the whole thing for 2.99. The only hassle was carrying it over 2 km in my backpack.

Welp, I guess I should’ve looked for it a little more, it does seem like you can you flatpaks with Arch/CachyOS! 🤦‍♂️

How do you manage the updates? I do them once every two weeks, but even though I work in tech I have no desire to manually check each repo/kernel/update info. Last month or two there was an alert saying something among the lines of “we’re working on removing malware from the latest updates” and that made me wary. Still a better experience than running Windows, but I miss the flatpacks from other distros.

A homes first initiative with needs based assistance can work. in 2013 a study in Toronto was shown that the city spends on average 75K a year PER homeless individual. this included shelter costs, medical, and other resources. that’s 75K per person in YOUR tax dollars that went towards not solving anything. Providing housing + assistance would be massively cheaper in the long run.

We had a similar study done in Quebec : https://www.lapresse.ca/affaires/chroniques/2026-07-16/etude-du-cirano/chaque-personne-itinerante-coute-77-600-par-annee.php

But often, that doesn’t work with the mentality that these people don’t “deserve” the help. So much for the “pragmatism” the same crowd argue for against the empathy and compassion that everyone deserves.
