Being the one crucial vote is a hell of a lot of leverage.
Yeah, by being the tiebreakers the NDP was in a position of power. But not anymore, with this floor crossing. So I don’t understand this. The NDP could have still helped Carney out where they felt it appropriate
The French debate was even worse, apparently
Spruce Woods Provincial Park and the Spirit Sands, our only not-quite desert
That’s cool, I didn’t know we had a not-quite desert haha
The Narcisse Snake Dens (I've never been, personally)
Oh yeah! Very creepy. I’ve been meaning to go to that. It looks very cool. I’ll have to get the time of year right though
Camp Hughes National Historic Site) (no one seems to know this exists, and it's pretty cool)
That’s neat. Another commenter in this thread mentioned a replica of an old mennonite settlement town. Between that and this there seems to be a decent amount of historical sites to see in Manitoba (compared to other provinces anyway) which I wasn’t expecting.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Interesting. In many ways this mirrors whats going on with the federal conservatives. The article said this was the second conservative MP to decide to run as an independent. Thats’s not quite as dramatic as a floor crossing but its similarly detrimental to the conservatives
That’s very cool! Sounds like a great place to take kids
Hi thanks. My comments aren’t federating even on this very post (I’m commenting from another account right now). There was an other piefed.ca user who commented on this post and said they were having similar issues but I can’t see that comment anymore now that I’m viewing from lemmy.ca.
I also noticed that when I viewed my Piefed account from different Mastodon instances, the replies and tweets (or whatever the equivalent is on Mastodon) associated with my account were different depending on the instance I was viewing from (which posts were visible and which were hidden changed instance to instance). This is not a concern for me, just including that information incase it’s helpful for you
Edit: just out of curiosity, is this issue limited to piefed.ca users (I just noticed theres a post about it on our main forum) or is this an issue occurring across piefed instances?
His departure comes on the heels of a number of PC MLAs announcing they don't intend to run for re-election.
There must be some drama happening behind the scenes here. I wonder what’s going on.
Interesting, that looks kinda neat. What is this place exactly? It gives you a sense of what an old-timey town would look like?
I am! But I’m interested to hear in anything interesting :)
(I knoa this is a different account but I am OP. Peifed.ca is having some serious issues right now and my comments were’t federating, so I replied earlier but don’t know if it showed up)
Right now it's monkeys. I used to think monkeys were gross and disturbing in an uncanny valley sort of way, so humanlike but not human at the same time.
I agree with you that it’s monkeys. Thats why this image is my profile pic.
It’s a selfie taken of a monkey. IIRC it became a precedent setting case in copyright law, because the owner of the camera tried to claim ownership over the photo. The issue was that you need to actually take the picture to own the it. But the guy didn’t take the photo; the money took the photo. And monkeys cannot own property, under the law. So the image became public domain. Here’s the Wikipedia page on the case
Not to sound too utilitarian about it, but less people die the day after they add an hour, too, so though more people die after going back an hour the losses cancel out
I think it’s important to emphasize this. People on the internet can be quick to demonize others. But OP is 15. What good is there in trying to create a divide between a 15 year old and his grandpa? There is none, not in this situation, anyway.
Besides, if we’re being honest, most of our grandparents have questionable views. There’s a massive generational gap there, and a lot of social progress has occurred since our grandparents were young. And in old age, people often just don’t have the cognitive flexibility required to adapt to these changes. And there comes a point when it might not even be worth trying to change them because they might literally just not be capable.
