It’s good to see a prominent Canadian politician on the fediverse, supporting our digital sovereignty.

@Rocketpoweredgorilla very cool. I wonder why they changed it from ‘Sunny Manitoba’ to ‘Friendly Manitoba’ (maybe they’ll eventually change it back if they decide that people here aren’t friendly enough lol).

Is this part of a personal collection?

@manitoba Wab Kinew: “Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war”

"Not a single Canadian should ever be put in harm's way to defend Donald Trump's foolish Iranian war," he [Kinew] said at the conference Friday.

"I'll go a step further, and I'll say no American either," Kinew said. "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war.”

@a_gee_dizzle picture didn’t federate do I reposted it as a mastodon only reply (so there wouldn’t be a two comments with the same image on lemmy)

 

@winnipeg Winnipeg city council has a cell phone issue

When people take time off work to speak at city hall, council often won’t even listen to what they have to say. They’ll just spend that time on their phones (even the mayor!)

One time a citizen called them out for this, and the mayor chastised them, accusing that person of being disrespectful 🙄

It’s absurd. They’re blatantly ignoring the people they were elected to serve. At least pretend to care!

@manitoba Wabama - Prison Rap | Wab Kinew raps to the beat of ‘F da police’ (2012)

I think we need to take a moment to appreciate just how out of touch the conservatives were in the last election: they seriously thought that Wab Kinew’s rap career would make him look bad. But of course, as we all know now, it actually just makes him look cool af. 10/10 would vote NDP again.

@ILikeBoobies ah okay i see what you’re saying

[–] chimpchomp@thecanadian.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

@ILikeBoobies is Ontario not a single timezone?

@prodigalsorcerer yeah speaking of corruption in ontario, duggies new legislation on FOI requests is actually wild. I hope that somehow manages to not make it thru

@prodigalsorcerer @tooclose104 that’s what BC was saying for a while. That they had to wait for the states in the Western US to do it. But eventually BC just pulled the trigger and did it without them

@humanspiral this is what China does. It should be like 4 or 5 timezones or smthg but they only use one: their Eastern-most timezone. From what I understand though the locals in the Western provinces don’t really use the official time in their day to day. They still stick to the old, unofficial timezones. I think that shows that even if we did have one coordinated global timezone people wouldn’t necessarily use it

@alsimoneau That’s interesting. Intuitively it makes a lot of sense that it would prevent crime, so I never questioned the idea.

 

@canada Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?

If yes, what would you prefer: year round daylight savings time (an extra hour of sunlight in the evening) or standard time (an extra hour of sunlight in the morning)?
