Yes, there is. Here, have an imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/0b79QIO

I mean, you could argue that the work was meaningless, that most of these lawyers are working bullshit jobs. But the fact of the matter is that a lot of them did put a lot of time into it, the companies paid them for the time, and now the companies want that money.

I feel like empowering the "Real Man" bullshit, even in a subversive way, is generally a bad idea. Could be an effective campaign though, so maybe the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

It's a good idea. I see two problems with it out of the gate:

First, if it isn't accompanied by other changes, it will increase the equilibrium price of food until the poorest are just as squeezed as they are now, or maybe slightly less. "Other changes" could include price caps (perhaps voluntary -- grocery stores which agree to the program must also agree to a set of pricing regulations, and they would agree because it lowers their prices for the public without lowering their profit, meaning they have more customers who buy more), breaking up monopolies, or something drastic like a Crown grocery store chain. There could be other ideas too, but you'd have to do something to avoid it just being a subsidy to grocery giants.

Second, programs which are limited to specific foods often take weird stances about what is "acceptable" for poor people to buy. Not only does this rob them of dignity, it's often very poorly-managed, results in a lot of administrative overhead, and prevents people from buying things like fresh fruit, certain (even cheaper!) brands over others, or food compliant with their dietary restrictions. I'd instead advocate for either no restrictions on what food is purchased, or a blacklist where the card works in every participating grocery store for every product except explicitly excluded ones.

Some people are starting to shift their opinions on it, but jokes about men being raped (especially in prison) are weirdly accepted.

Yeah. And it's perfectly acceptable to legally require people in government jobs to be respectful -- a teacher who used racist language would also be fired, and rightly so.

Via is a crown corporation, though, so aren't the profits also socialized? Correct me if I don't understand how crown corporations work.

It puts an enormous amount of weight on two specific muscles. Those muscles are not meant to bear much weight for extended periods, so pain continually increases. There can be temporary damage to the muscles, but permanent damage can't really happen, so it's ideal for torturing people when you don't want any evidence.

Remember this moment the next time someone says that business people deserve wealth beyond the wildest dreams of avarice because they "took a risk".

Housing and food prices are complex market-driven issues that require a careful approach and messy compromises. Pharmacare can more or less be implemented with the stroke of a pen, if the political will is there. Going after easily solved problems over bigger but harder problems makes sense to me as a strategy, both in terms of politics and in terms of actually doing good.

Sending emails threatening to kill people is a crime, though she may or may not be prosecuted for it.

I was in the counter-protest in Edmonton and it was a chaotic mess. We need to get organized soon and we need competent people to organize things. I don't know where to find those people though.
