17·23 hours agoIn Canada our polling stations are pretty set in stone. On occasion, due to community activities, they are changed but everyone also receives a voting card with the polling station clearly noted.
We also have a federal arms-length agency - Elections Canada - that takes care of all facets of a federal election, including boundary lines. Same with provincial elections. No politicians or political parties are allowed to be involved in any part of electoral rules, regulations or changing of boundaries.
I’ve always been amazed at America’s electoral free-for-all that seems to encourage voter suppression.
America wants a good leader as well, yet they have tRump instead.
3·1 day agoEdmonton’s homelessness crisis has reached a breaking point. The number of people living without stable housing surged to 4,697 in September 2024 — a 47 per cent increase in a single year and the highest figure recorded in at least five years according to data from Homeward Trust Edmonton. Of those, more than 1,100 people had no shelter whatsoever. The crisis is falling hardest on Indigenous Edmontonians, who make up just over six per cent of the city’s general population but account for 60 per cent of its homeless population. Despite the City of Edmonton spending nearly $92 million on homelessness initiatives in 2024 and removing close to 9,500 encampments — a 40 per cent jump from the year prior — advocates warn that clearing camps without providing housing simply moves people from one street corner to the next.
Marlaina’s cure for First Nations unhoused people = killing them slowly using winter cold, lack of resources, political selfishness, brutal cops and a general disregard of humanity.
Fuck Marlaina.
2·1 day agoSince returning to office in January 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump has not enacted any additional measures against Rosatom. The U.S., U.K., and EU all continue to import Russian nuclear fuel or uranium.
There’s a reason Ukraine is offering its expertise. The country has been shooting down Russian missiles and drones — especially Iran-designed Shahed drones — for more than four years. In January, Ukraine faced an average of 143 Shahed-type drone and decoys daily, intercepting 122 of them, according to a study by the Institute for Science and International Security.
Ukrainian units haven’t just mastered drone defenses, they’ve reshaped the battlefield with offensive drone tactics — as seen last year during Estonia’s Hedgehog drills, where a 10-person Ukrainian Nemesis drone team outmaneuvered two NATO battalions. As Western and Gulf militaries scramble to adapt to Iran’s expanding drone campaign, Kyiv is signaling it is ready to teach others its battlefield lessons.
Key Ukrainian tactics included attacking NATO troops from the rear (where they thought they were safe), surveying allied formations gathered in large groups (often without proper camouflage), mining the approach roads they were taking, and using electronic warfare to turn off key equipment.
Good for them. I’m somewhat saddened to hear that Zelenskiy is sharing info with tRump, but I get it. Maybe this time the orange dipshit will respect Zelenskiy and Ukraine’s mastery of new tactics.
You’re welcome. :)
We should be holding onto that and following thru if needed (excluding the USA ofc). If we don’t we could be seen as no better than America … talking the big talk then walking away when shit gets tough.
You’re welcome. :)
Start now because it takes a while.
He had a feewing. Awwwww.
In the first seven months of the 2024-25 season, krill fishing in Antarctica reached 518,568 tons, about 84% of the 620,000-ton limit that, once reached, will force the fishery to automatically close. In one hot spot, the catch through June 30 was nearly 60% higher than all of last year’s haul, according to a report from the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, or CCAMLR, the international organization that manages the world’s southernmost fishery.
Trawling near Antarctica for krill has more than quadrupled in the past two decades and this season, for the first time, it reached its seasonal catch limit, triggering the unprecedented early closure of the remote fishery.
“The vast majority of the krill take is from an increasingly smaller area,” said Capt. Peter Hammarstedt, campaign director for conservation group Sea Shepherd Global, which this year made its third voyage to Antarctica to document the fishery. “It’s the equivalent of a hunter saying that they’re only killing 1% of the U.S.’ deer population but leaving out that all of the deer were shot in Rhode Island.”
The article says it’s an internal report. I’ve tried to find it on the Public Safety website but it doesn’t seem to be there.
It’s in the article.
The family said the incident stemmed from an earlier dispute between Sylas and another student, which he thought had been resolved.
That’s as much information the average Joe Blow needs or deserves to know.
As a Canadian I would argue that having a third party might bring some semblance of order to America’s very limited 2-party choice.
It’s very good. Hope you find the time to enjoy a cup of coffee and some excellent reading.
Maybe you should do the same.
The French used a convincing method back in the day.
The following link was the best source I could find with bona fide numbers.
