Data centre development ban a no-go after Hamilton council votes down bylaw | CBC News

The vote was split 10 against and six for what they were calling an interim control bylaw that would have paused development on data centres

Hamilton won't be imposing a temporary ban on the development of data centres, council has decided. The vote was split 10 against and six in favour of what they were calling an interim control bylaw that would have paused development on data centres in the city for one year. Such a ban would have given the city time to assess and develop further governance rules around facilities that house equipment such as network servers, storage drives and information technology (IT). The bylaw "won't stand up, it won't work," said Coun. Jeff Beattie, who voted against it. Several councillors and Mayor Andrea Horwath spoke before the vote.

‘Dumpster fire’: Postmedia’s decade of pushing Canada’s politics to the right

Canada’s largest newspaper chain has amplified conservative grievance politics — creating fertile ground for MAGA-style ideas, Alberta separ

More than half of Canadian daily newspapers are owned by Postmedia, giving the MAGA-aligned newspaper chain enormous influence over the flow of information and how current events are perceived across the country.  In addition to its explicitly Conservative flagship national newspaper, the National Post, Postmedia has a monopoly on major daily newspapers in Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Saskatoon and Regina, in addition to owning the Toronto Sun and Montreal Gazette.  “In the last 10 years, they’ve been imposing an ever further right-wing agenda on their newspapers,” Marc Edge, author of the Postmedia Effect: How Vulture Capitalism Is Wrecking Our News, told Ricochet.

Corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints as Carney abruptly closed it down | CBC News

A corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints right up until the point Prime Minister Mark Carney announced its dissolution — seemingly out of nowhere — despite saying the decision to discontinue the office was made "months" earlier. The Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE) was introduced under former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2019 to investigate potential human rights abuses committed by Canadian companies operating abroad. During an unrelated news conference last month, Carney mentioned in passing that the government had decided to eliminate the role, claiming it was ineffective. "Part of government is to look at things and see whether or not they're effective and try to improve it," the prime minister said at the time.

At the annual Houston RenFest we’d always get one or two furries that walk around and every time the general reaction from the medieval roleplayers is akin to  “BEASTS? BEASTS THAT WALK LIKE MAN? FOUL!” 

Last time I went a furry volunteered for an impromptu conversion/exorcism and a guy dressed as a monk gathered a bunch of people and using a Gatorade bottle performed an entire catholic christening while reading off the instructions on his Ipad. When the furry was fully “converted” he removed the head of his costume and everyone in the crowd pretended to freak out and say shit like “GlORY BE HE IS SAVED” “CHRIST HAS BROKEN HIS CURSE”

Back in 2015 or so, I went to a faire that was taking place near one of those “frozen in time” Victorian-era reenactment villages - the ones with bakeries, a blacksmith, farm animals and the like.

The actors from the village took great delight in showing up at the joust, dressed in 1890s clothing and declaring themselves to be time travellers “from the future, the far-off year of 1892!”

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.

Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.

Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.
