Report finds survivors face barriers to getting sexual assault evidence kits in northern Ontario | CBC News A new report by Sudbury group She Matters reveals that northern Ontario sexual assault survivors face significant barriers to timely access to sexual assault evidence kits because of distance and unde...

I'm from Northern Ontario. I've done extensive research and advocacy with survivors in rural, remote and Northern communities.

Frankly, the only thing that surprises me about this report is that it's getting so much media attention outside of the region. I'm glad because it's about time!

At this point, we need to ask why meta is even allowed to exist AT ALL. SMFH!

Attacking the rich is not envy, it is self defence. The hoarding of wealth is the cause of poverty. The rich aren't just indifferent to poverty: they create it and maintain it.

The BC government claims that the North Coast Transmission Line is for national and public interest, but that doesn't sound right.

What would an actual plan for the public interest look like?

The deficit is not an economic problem—it’s a political weapon Mark Carney’s new budget exposes how Canada’s political class weaponizes the deficit to protect elites and justify austerity. Despite alarmist rhetoric, Canada’s debt is modest and self-financed. The ...

The deficit’s primary function is political: it is a cudgel used to enforce unpopular policies and coerce the public into accepting a diminished quality of life in the name of private profit. We must stop mistaking this political strategy for economic necessity.

Excuse me, but ai "artist"? WTAF are we doing here?

Of you can read lips, as he's waking away he's saying "Dibs on the head." Pretty sure. Either that or "death needs a hand." Either one works.

This. Exactly.

Media in Canada has been co-opted by the deceit of the hegemonic, de facto ruling class. It is dead.

Can't stop thinking about the fact that the government is literally slashing public service jobs while bringing in AI for use in the public service.

They are literally doing, as a government, what we scream at tech bros for doing to their employees.

Pretty gross!

Or, and hear me out, we could just say the fucker is dead, leave it at that and move on.
Done.
Mmmm ... popcorn ...

"Unpaid internship?" Nice to see that indentured servitude isn't dead. Maybe you can keep them in cages too, to keep tabs on them. Just a thought.
Fuck, what year is it?

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Is this a "who wore it better?" question because, um, that's not fair.

Hey @duolingoverde.bsky.social - why is "C'est une étudiante" correct but "Elle est une étudiante" is wrong for "She is a student" - aren't they both correct?

Check the decade the decline starts - 80s - that's the start of Reagan/Thatcher trickle down theft from the middle class - still happening today. It's why we have fucking billionaires and record poverty/homelessness. It's not rocket science, it's theft.

I'll take "None of this true" for $1000 Ken. Ooh, and a Daily Double!

This man has not seen a rude Canadian, but if he keeps this shit up, there's something on the way. Something fucking huge too. Let's watch.

Every government, everywhere (including/especially) 🇨🇦 Canada should be moving to open source and dumping proprietary, bad, really shitty software controlled by oligarchs like m$, adobe and apple. Own your software, own your data, don't be held for ransom anymore.

Holy shit but Jesse is absolutely fucking unaware of the world around him. Just oblivious. What a fucking tool. I wish he was talking to anyone BUT smug fraud. JFC.

Once you said "stronger borders" you revealed your agenda. Stop shifting so far right, our borders are fine, our security is fine. Less capitalism isn't a bad thing. Stop being a shill. Stop buying American weapons systems. Just stop being a conservative.

So how's that workin' out fer ya Phil?

But that would cut into the vital creationism curriculum. Are you Satan?

My gawd, that's like - 20 people who speak another language.

Sarz bar

That's the problem, right there. I'm open to ideas.

Let's all call for a "strategic pivot" away from listening to these fucking billionaire lumps of shit who got us into this mess and who, really, don't know a goddamn thing. Fuck them all, let's shoot them all into the sun.

You know who never misses?
