"All ideas of nationhood are fictions. The fiction cultivated by the #Canadian studying abroad may be more likely than that of the Canadian educated at home to eschew regionalism, depending on a more overarching, all-embracing idea of nationhood."

Of course it is, it's from the playbook. Hopefully it doesn't work - it seems like the protesters see through every move they make.

I'm not surprised, but this finding would not have crossed my mind.

I thought this was about ending the practice of moving the clock back and forth twice a year, but no, it's just about soon moving the clock

I agree. I love Mastodon's calm columnar UI with lists and hashtags where I feel I'm in control of my experience, and that I can just stop whenever and come back in three days.

I agree with you, I'm also missing context. I agree this looks very fishy for the police to be paying her a visit with the "you are walking a line" comment, but without knowing all the details, I'm reluctant to jump into definitive conclusions.

Agreed, no big deal. But YouTubers who knew about it before this controversy will typically use the intended pronouncing, and it's easy to spot those who didn't care much about it until this all started.

This never crossed my mind, but you are right. Online interactions do lack a lot of context, and it must have been hard (or practically impossible) to discern genuine from malicious calls to remain apolitical in a situation of intense online harassment.

"Fenwick invested $3.5 million into buying the $7.4-million property in 2007, making him the largest shareholder. He alleges that after more than a decade of minimal activity, Rice suddenly called a meeting in June 2021. He says Rice urged him and the other investors to take advantage of a “spike” in demand for industrial property by selling the land, adding that it could take another decade for the municipality to build sewer and water services, and developing the property privately would yield a low return on their investment."
