I think you mean Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon. ;-)

Confusing headline. Nestlé is still called “Nestlé”. They sold the plant in 2021, I guess that is what is meant by “formerly Nestlé”.

I know the rhetorical point you are making, but prisons are not free housing. In Ontario, they are terrifyingly outdated, under regulated, unsupervised hellholes.

There’s more than just that. There is hatred of the poor, which exists in every class. A phenomenon we’re all very familiar with but which does not even have a name. It’s always politically advantageous to attack the poor, and it rarely wins elections to attack poverty.

So that’s “no, not really.” At least, that’s my understanding, also.

…Do we?

Just perfectly on-brand.

Solutions don’t get people elected; problems do. Manufacture problems and blame your opponents for them.

You should. You’d like it.

I think there’s an “R” in it.

You used the word pride several times. We should be teaching shame. What we did was shameful, but necessary. Yes, all those examples you give are things I consider glorification. We could show respect and gratitude without glorification. And especially without specifically targeting children with these ideas and not allowing for important counterpoints. That’s propaganda. It sounds as though you are saying, “There’s glorification, but for reasons I agree with, so it’s okay.”

I agree with everything you just said (with some assumptions). What you did not say that was necessary for your comment to be relevant, and isn’t true is: “Glorification of war never happens at Remembrance Day ceremonies in Canada.” It absolutely does.

If you think Remembrance Day isn’t extremely political, I dunno what world you grew up in. It’s time for less glorification of war, fewer children marching in parades dressed as soldiers, and more antifascist political statements.

It’s about time someone thought of AI working conditions.

The police don’t exist to protect citizens from crime. They exist to squash “illegitimate violence”, not because it benefits you or reduces crime, but because the police exist to enforce the state’s “monopoly on violence”. Their role is to do violence to you, not to protect you from it. The money that is levied from you is used to pay for the interests of the state, not your interests. They don’t work for us, no matter what you might hear from 1AAs.

The fuck those fish ever do to you?? I might enjoy dragging you around with a hook also, I might enjoy the smell from the sizzle of your flesh, but I don’t decide to find out, because I have a fucking speck of empathy.

Did you see the clip last month where he humiliated those useful idiots?

Ford got a majority government in Ontario with only 17% of the potential votes.

Either administration would have opposed our existential interests and those of our descendants.

I genuinely don’t see what one has to do with another. Colonialism is an expression of capitalism. It’s the same shit, it’s just a way of describing a slightly different colour of shit. Canada was created to DO colonialism: to extract value from natural and human resources in this geographical area, and transfer that value to private/corporate ownership. Our government was created and to this day fundamentally exists to facilitate that transfer. It’s not even about First Nations anymore. We are all being exploited. Your white guilt is preventing you from seeing the reality you live in. This isn’t about turning you into a boogeyman, it’s about liberating ALL OF US.

Why do you want to just pretend it isn’t a thing? Why do you stoop to defend it? You don’t bother explaining that.
