Covid and the vaccine was a microcosm for societal behavior. A small percent of the population just won’t give a fuck. The majority will do a thing based on self preservation. A small percent will do a thing for the collective interest.

The tough thing about climate change is there isn’t an immediate and tangible threat. There’s no virus in your face. It’s a long slow erosion of the living planet. In that sense it’s very difficult to convince people to act out of self preservation. There’s no queuing for an inoculation and you’re done. You saved the world too. Give yourself a pat on the back. The species as a whole has to modify its behavior with out immediate personal gain. That’s a tough proposition.

Especially for us. The part of the world that exports its pollution from both ends. Manufacturing exists out of sight out of mind. Disposal exists out of sight out of mind. We’re the global NIMBYs.

It has always been my dream as a white man to apply to a job created for a young black man from a low income family. Some day I will be able to do so without fear of persecution.

Long past time to do it. It’s not even congress but the market share of the internet has been centralizing around the handful of FAANG or whatever acronym. Unfortunately too much of the tech nerd population have been seduced by the dark side. A reconstructed world wide web would be very hard to gain enough traction without enough nerds backing it.

This will all blow over and the families of wealthy cronies will live in luxurious estates built on that prime green space.

Part of me wishes the more enterprising types out there never let them have a moment of peace and quiet on that land.

Jagmeet has run out the clock too. The NDP should be making moves. The time is right. As usual they will not. Conservatives will fall ass backwards into power.

If apple pie is American. Real estate investment is Canadian. I mean mom and pop Canadians. It’s an elephant in the room. Immigrants who are wealthy enough to invest such way are merely doing as Canadians do.

“More than ever, this kind of dangerous situation shows how having more access to trustworthy and reliable information and news is vital for so many of our communities to be informed about the current emergency.”

Facebook isn’t trustworthy. Tech bros can’t be trusted.

It’s not like the internet has been removed. Social media isn’t the internet. News sites are still accessible. As is the whole internet. People need to get their head out of their asses already. This problem is farcical. Life threatening situation, ‘oh no my facebook is broken what will I do?!?11’. How did we even get to this point. The internet circa 90s and early 2000s is laughing their asses off at all this. PEBKAC.

They managed during the 45th administration. And through COVID with them too. Another concern is if there will be adults still in charge here in the first place.

Probably a testament to the effectiveness of conservative regressivism. Over the years I’ve heard parents of the Harris generation say there is night and day difference between the children of before and after the destruction Harris wreaked on the education system. They’re perpetuating a class of poorly educated will continue to vote against their own interests.

What will policy change? Policy so nobody wants to live or do business there anymore?

Toronto and Vancouver will remain very expensive not matter what. Inherit your parents mcmansion or place your bets on some other region that might become prosperous in 3 or 4 decades.
