Canada@lemmy.ca•5 years after promising to restrict vaping flavours, its unclear whether Canada will
6·5 days agoYou know what could have stopped this? Banning the sale of disposable vapes instead of banning RTAs and RDAs (rebuildable tank and drip atomizers).
I’d really be interested in finding out the financial investments of the medical people who set up the restrictions and bans in the first place because I bet somebody had their fingers in that insider-information pie.

17·7 days agoThe Canada Pension Fund is NOT for rich people to use. It’s mandated by the government to make sure that the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) funding for retired and disabled Canadians is adequate for our needs.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alaska landslide set off CN Tower-sized tsunami last year — and a warning for B.C.
4·8 days agoI would add taking a cruise of the BC/Alaskan coast as well.
The fiord usually sees about three cruise ships a day, but in summer months more than 20 ships visit Tracy Arm and nearby Endicott Arm fiords daily.

World News@lemmy.world•Report: 15,000 Pakistanis arrested and deported from UAE, savings seizedEnglish
8·9 days agoWhy is this happening?
The deportations come amid a broader cooling of ties between the UAE and Pakistan. Abu Dhabi recently demanded early repayment of a $3.5 billion financial support package, a move seen by observers as a sign of growing frustration with Islamabad.
At the same time, Pakistan’s evolving geopolitical positioning, including its engagement with Iran and perceived lack of strong response to regional tensions, has added to the unease.
In contrast, the UAE has been strengthening ties with India, deepening cooperation in trade, investment, and security. This shift highlights a recalibration of regional priorities that appears to be leaving Pakistan increasingly isolated.

10·9 days agoI don’t have a problem with jet skis. I do have a problem with the idiots who drive jet skis.
Mandatory licensing and big fines for breaking the rules already in place should be adopted.

Canada@lemmy.ca•How Thunder Bay police investigated their own Indigenous board chair
4·10 days agoI lived in T’Bay while attending university. Trust me when I say it is one of the most racist cities I’ve ever lived in (I’ve lived in cities and small towns from Ontario to BC).
For a time I volunteer with with a service dedicated to helping street people and sometimes drove people to appointments, etc where I saw how medical staff treated unhoused and poor people … esp First Nations and Inuit.
I also saw how the community and police services treated the multiple deaths of First Nations people. Cops did lazy investigations, rarely if ever charging anyone.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta government says wild horse population has reached 'unacceptable' levels, advocates disagree
4·11 days agoMarlaina couldn’t tell the truth if her life depended on it.
If she can verify the number of wild horses with actual facts - and the numbers are enough to lead to starvation - then a cull should happen.
But she’s lying as usual.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta government says wild horse population has reached 'unacceptable' levels, advocates disagree
11·11 days agoAs an aside the main reason Marlaina is pushing for a large cull (based on quack numbers) is because the cattle ranchers push for it every year.
Removing the horses won’t help the environment because they’ll just be replaced by herds of cattle.














I thought the same when I first read that. Makes our puny attempts at privacy pretty much irrelevant.
