I don't use twitter so can't verify, but here is the apparent post people are making fun of him over. The claim is that the words "woman" and "dolphin" being bolded are signs that he searched for those terms.

I haven't used Reddit in a while, but back when I did, r/canada was alt-right and I doubt it had real Canadians on it. It seemed like a Russian troll farm like r/the_donald. The actual Canadian subreddit seemed to be r/onguardforthee. The media is also mostly privately owned by wealthy conservatives so there's a clear bias. I personally don't read or watch anything that isn't put out by the CBC, which has a mandate to be politically neutral.

Even Canada's right wing party doesn't hate immigrants, as they make up a large part of the Canadian labour market and are a source of tax revenue. The only valid criticism has been over student visas, which were essentially temporary visas given to people with lots of money. A lot of these "students" were middle aged, already had advanced degrees, and spent more time working a high paying job, or simply just living in Canada, than attending school. The conditions of a student visa were mostly "do you have $100,000 per year?" Nobody had much reason to put a cap on it, since it was a large revenue source, but once there were over 1 million active student visas it might have attributed to actual issues. The conditions are changing and there is now going to be a cap on the amount of active student visas.

The Conservatives are blaming Trudeau for everything though. That's definitely real. Their current leader is Pierre Poilievre who spent most of his 20 year career as an "attack dog". I don't think he knows how to do anything else besides trash talk people. It used to get him in a lot of trouble, but now it's gotten him party leadership and is probably going to get him the title of Prime Minister. Not because Canadians aren't friendly, but because this is Trudeau's 4th election and Canadians don't like voting for the same person 4 times in a row.

The "duress" part comes from the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) which are laws governing all commercial transactions within the US. It still doesn't apply because getting a ticket isn’t a commercial transaction, but SovCivs believe everything is a commercial transaction including interaction with the government.

UCC 1-308 is a section that says a party can partially fulfill a contract without agreeing to all of the contract terms. They must do so by explicitly stating they are completing part of the contract "without prejudice" or "under duress". That's why SovCivs write these words on everything.

It’s not undemocratic for people to be uneven

Spoken like a true American!

See that mountain? You can fast travel to it!

 

I've recently started using the Boost for Lemmy app on my phone and it's amazing. I was using Liftoff before but I'm switching over. However, I've noticed an issue. When I browse through communities using Liftoff I see a lot more posts and comments than when I use Boost.

I figured this was an issue with Boost at first, but when I used my computer to edit these screenshots I noticed the same thing happens in my browser!

Opening up https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy I see all the posts that Liftoff shows. Of course I'm not logged in since my account is on Lemmy.ca.

When I log into Lemmy.ca and view the community though: https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] I only see the posts that Boost shows! Many posts are now missing!

I figured this is an issue with Lemmy.ca blocking stuff. But wait! The most recent post (titled "Bug: Hiding all read posts also hides...") has the URL https://lemmy.world/post/6954944 which, of course, does not allow me to comment on since I'm not logged in. If I search for that post through Lemmy.ca I find the equivalent post with the URL: https://lemmy.ca/post/7377534 which now allows me to comment on it through my Lemmy.ca account.

Does any one know what's going on here? Clearly Lemmy.ca can "see" all the posts in the BoostForLemmy community on Lemmy.world. Even Liftoff manages to show all of them! So why does my browser and Boost for Lemmy not show everything unless I specifically search it out?

 

I made this a while back to use as a background for my phone. What do you think?
