@femalejosman quebec can’t be seen supporting minority language rights (francophones outside quebec) because it would help the cause of quebec anglos

first thought i had watching the trailer. thought they dumbed it down to make it easier to film, but apparently unrelated

having neither read the book nor seen the film: isn’t Backrooms just House of Leaves?

@EclecticRadShow @wickdchiq McGill libraries are already open to the public. Honestly never heard of a university library that bars the public from accessing their main facilities during regular hours.

@janosch_ortmann @CraigSauve I mean if a socialist Quebec emancipating itself from a capitalist Canada is a problem for the NDP, I don’t see how that makes their position any better than PSPP’s?

@Hezbolsonaro let’s be real most college leftist would love to have an actual poor friend to complement their international rich kid friend group

@NoLore he’d have to get all his twitter followers (how many are eligible Canadian voters?) to join and vote for him to maybe beat Lewis. How many would stick around after his failed attempt at entryism? They should have let him lose out of principle but there was obviously no upside

@_loweffort0 well scientific consensus hasn’t gotten everyone on board with handwashing but i’ll read whatever rebuke you might have of this https://t.co/F6aCpweafK

@stalinistberet @michael_galant do you also whine about petit-bourgeois disciplinarians if someone asks you to wash your hands after shitting?

@PeekThruFingers @Projekt_A119 @edmonton_eulers Quebec movies actually get seen in theaters. Anglo Canadian movies largely do not.

@Grochowa2 As far as annual music fests go, there’s M for Montreal Nov 18-21, usually good local artists. I think Mundial is also around the same time, more international music. October is a bit of a quiet month but there’s Pop in Sep that always has something worthwhile

perhaps the real consequence of letting a generation of boys play call of duty. ugly costumes

Not special forces. These are members of a drug cartel in Mexico, armed like a military unit.

don’t act like you aren’t saying homophobic slurs on the daily

The far-left still out there thinking the LGBT community are welcomed and tolerated in Palestinian society, whereas in reality “Queers for Palestine” members would maybe last a day in Gaza

@ghost_prole charlie kirk’s jugular getting vented by a signed bullet, an idf calling card, is too on the nose

@redroomrantings I don’t recall anyone in Canada commenting about the murder of the democrat politician, her husband and dog, but everyone’s got something to say about a loser who never got over being friendless in college?

[alex @lexandre_denis]

like there is a reason government procurement is like this, other states have fostered in-house expertise, canada has decided it would rather funnel money into the private sector. Mulroney, Chrétien, Harper, Trudeau all played their part and NatPo endorsed half of them.

National Post editorial line: Privatize everything

National Post columnist: gee, why is it so expensive when the government hires consultants and private contractors for every single project

[Chris Selley @cselley]

App-developer friend shares thought about ArriveCan debacle: "It feels like whoever was working in procurement spoke with the first dev shop they found and was like 'How much will it cost? 50 million? 100? 200?'"

@TRyanGregory CP was profitable and isn't paid for by taxpayers. (you could argue indirectly through gov use of post but CP has always been funded by service charges) The problem is CP's mandate to deliver unprofitably to all Canadians when private corps can compete on profitable deliveries
