Someone is distributing hate speech propaganda bullshit in my neighbourhood.

wtf

> “The papers are being delivered by local citizens who wanted subscriptions, are disgusted by the Canada Post mail ban, and volunteered to help us red-pill their neighbours.”

(You can find the Your Ward News paper online, it's...as awful as it sounds!)

> In 2016, Warren and Lisa Kinsella, political strategists and activists, said a justice of the peace agreed to charge the two men behind Your Ward News with uttering threats.

I wonder if this case went anywhere

Article didn't mention any additional details

Looks like they've Recieved multiple charges actually

i mean somehow it got banned from being sent in the mail

And that's gross

12:42 AM

i dunno how free speech works in canada, but in the US you can definitely send any kind of hateful bullshit you want through the mail system

But makes it clear why this group was founded. It's not about protecting speech, it's about spreading hate speech

(provided its not literal drugs or explosives, that sort of thing)

@GodEmperorDune Canada has hate speech laws which these folks are charged with

Details here: laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-319.html

The definitions at the bottom would definitely include sending stuff through the mail I'd say

@Memor-X At the risk of someone else having said the same thing further down but saying it because someone else already said the same thing further up, that is precisely the opposite of what happened. There was availability to give feedback, the YouTuber gave feedback, and then misogynists capitalized on the fact that the feedback could get her fired if they leaned on ArenaNet hard enough.

Strzok just said that prior to this hearing FBI counsel agreed to a specific list of questions with Goodlatte's staff, implying Goodlatte was trying to sidestep that in asking the question Strzok refused to answer previously

4:24 PM

@TimStone lol wut

He cited a Supreme Court case which even on its basis doesn't have to do with this situation

> (We should note that it's actually the EPA, not the FDA, that sets limits on environmental pollution exposure, and that the state of Michigan has already been supplying water filters to affected residents.)

> Musk mooted the idea of a "barnstorming weekend" installing water filters across Flint and noted that many houses in the area do actually have safe water now despite perceptions otherwise. While this isn't a flashy solution that uses offcuts from rockets, it also has the potential to make a lasting positive impact on the lives of citizens of Flint, particularly its children, who can suffer from developmental delays if exposed to environmental lead.

No stop Ars stop

It doesn't have the potential to make a lasting positive impact if the state of Michigan is already doing it

@Yuuki There are disagreements, but I'm pretty sure it's generally agreed that at a minimum you have to be born a citizen to be a "natural-born citizen"

As far as I understand, the main disagreement is whether you have to be born physically in the US, or whether having parents who are US citizens is sufficient.

"Why didn't we invest in the subway?" @NYGovCuomo said today. "Because the taxpayers didn't want to pay." But this @nytimes investigation found that "governors from....Mr. Cuomo" and mayors inc. @deblasio cut or co-opted the subway budget. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/18/nyregion/new-york-subway-system-failure-delays.html?rref=collection%2Fbyline%2Fbrian-m.-rosenthal&action=click&contentCollection=undefined&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=12&pgtype=collection

Look if we could decide exactly where our tax money went that would be great except also the worst possible thing and that's not how it works

@Ash Urgh, this is just...it's bad :/

@GodEmperorDune It's kinda what I expected, with everything he promised, he was very specific with his "I won't cut things" language so that he could cut things but just like...certain thigns

Okay I haven't read the article yet but I have immediate questions

user15026

@TimStone Oh, yeah, it's a hot mess.

user15026

5:56 PM

I worry about where my province will be when he's done messing about

user15026

@TimStone Okay, the article is super vague and of course Tesla is like "oh no it's not like that" but it just increases my questions

Right??

@TimStone free crack cocaine to stay awake, but the more cocaine you take the less wage you get

An overflowing toilet or something happens and is gross and unpleasant but that is not, what I gather, happened!

It sounds much more Extreme

An epic tale of sexual harassment, whistleblowing and its messy aftermath at HSBC. Another stunner from @highline. https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/hsbc-sexual-harassment-hr/

@Ash I honestly hate how people will blindly vote for anyone who promises to lower taxes. Like that money isn't being tossed into a dumpster it serves a purpose, and if you're cutting taxes then you'll need to cut a bunch of other stuff too

I thought that was a US specific mentality but I guess not

I think people have no idea how the Economy works is all

They obviously don't

> HSBC “is the poster child of regulatory infraction—the gift that keeps on giving when I give studies on how not to do things.”

lol, it's true

-$20 food stamps
-$30 medicare
-$500,000,000,000 military
+$0 taxes
someone who is good at economy help me budget this my country is dying

6:06 PM

@Unionhawk cut healthcare and food stamps to put funding into the military. Elect me.

user15026

@Wipqozn He promised a lot, without telling us whatsoever how he'd do it

user15026

Turns out I guess this is how

@Ash sounds familiar

user15026

(He was basically running on cult of personality, promising to be tehre for the little man, etc)

user15026

(aka yes the Trump comparisons are kinda apt, we've been making them all along)

6:08 PM

Seriously that's going to be happening way more ever since Trump proved it works pretty damn well. Also Brexit.

going to be there for the little man by deregulating everything is the biggest goddamn lie the universe has been sold over the last century

@TimStone this is so fuct

user15026

@quartata Indeed.

@GodEmperorDune Incredibly :/

i'm kinda surprised its not tech tbh

I'm unfortunately sure there are plenty of similar stories

Jeff Flake says he's dropping his plan to block Trump's judge nominees now that the Senate has passed a non-binding motion on Trump's tariffs. He'd originally said he'd hold up the judges until there was a vote on actual legislation to rein in the tariffs. https://www.weeklystandard.com/haley-byrd/what-comes-next-for-the-effort-to-curb-trumps-trade-powers

@TimStone own the libs by making brexit?

I mentioned the resignation earlier but didn't hear the perp got hit with felony hate crime

@TimStone wait i thought they said it wasn't a hate crime... or am i mixing up incidents?

Unfortunately the latter!

The 91 year old being smashed with a brick is somehow not a hate crime, but this is

(both should be, as they are pretty messed up!)

9:59 PM

@TimStone it's incredible how none of the usual diplomatic customs apply to Trump. He just directly insults every ally, no matter the consequences

He seems to have a personal disdain for both Merkle and May which I'm sure has absolutely nothing to do with them being women
