Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Education has released copies of 18 letters sent to the province encouraging it to develop a policy addressing pronoun use in schools.
We elected a murderer and didn’t even know, and now nobody seems to care.
I am not saying a person should be punished forever for past mistakes, but if you have made a mistake this big, and you lie about it to get in to a powerful position, I feel you should lose that powerful position once discovered it’s built on lies.
Call me crazy, but I believe in a thing called truth and integrity.

I wish the fortnite money would dry up so the garbage store will finally close and the loser Tim Sweeney can ride of in the sunset with his garbage store closing down. The last thing we need is the same console exclusivity and toxicity coming to PC gaming, and he is trying to divide and turn us against each other.
Playstation sucks because they force exclusives. They have tried to build their brand on exclusives and it only hurts gamers.
The sad part is a bunch of playstation fanboys gobble it up, and seem to enjoy others not being able to play games.
I would be happy to see playstation turn in to a game studio so they release games on all platforms.
Xbox on the other hand is putting gamers first , and gamepass is amazing. Xbox has been killing it and I look forward to the future. I don’t plan to buy a console again, but atleast they are doing things right.
About 10 years ago there was a push for some nuclear power plants in Saskatchewan. The numbers and everything looked amazing, but then oil and gas lobby got involved and shut the whole thing down.
Looking back had we done that Saskatchewan would have been a national leader in energy and things would have been a whole lot better.
Us Saskies need to change our government and stop being taken advantage age of. The Sask Party is keeping us in the stones ages.
In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....
On DDG I can type in an exact company or product name and not get a proper result, it’s crazy. Google seems to find the stuff no problem, it’s really quite frustrating when the search engine isn’t even capable of basic queries.
Id rather become a hermit than pay for and give up all my privacy like these assholes want. Boycott everything, enough is enough. Even grocery companies are gouging us with record profits.
Canada has evacuated 41 diplomats and their 42 family members from India after Delhi made good on its threat to strip them of their diplomatic immunity, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly said Thursday. This move will impact the level of service delivery Canada will be able to provide in that country.
It was obvious to anyone the unprovoked attack of this nature would be met with massive retaliation. Hamas has cancelled all democratic elections and are holding the Palestinian people hostage. They then decided to make a decision that would cause mass suffering to its own citizens.
Isreal is definetely evil, but Hamas is wickedly evil. Hamas is fully responsible for this current crisis.
In a response to a lawsuit filed by Amber Bracken and news organization The Narwhal, the Mounties say Bracken’s status as a journalist would not place her outside the scope of the injunction that prohibits interference with the pipeline.
Americans like to have some sort of unquestionable rules they can point to. Whether it be religion or constitution they want impunity for their actions.
This is the kick in the butt I needed to de-google my life. I’ve already gotten halfway there, just need to make the full switch to proton mail, and then see what I can disconnect from my android phone.
I would hate to switch to Apple, but I may consider it if they are gonna pull this nonsense.

The entire US culture that the world sees is a lie. Anyone who lives or has visited is aware, but all these other people watch movies and think American is some magical land.
Nah, wealth is just built on slavery and opression.
Modern day slavery in jails and low wages tied to healthcare.
It has now been confirmed by the IDF and a senior coroner. It was not widespread luckily and only happened in one village. I didn’t believe it at first either, and had assumed it was misinformation.
First remove Hamas, then remove Netanyahu. He has been in power for way too long, and the only way it happens is with corruption. Borderline dictatorship. No idea why they don’t have term limits.
Right? It’s all just made up policy anyways, just change the policy. It should not be allowed.
Not to mention I didn’t use the words president or prime minister. I don’t care what his job title is, he needs to have no more power and be removed from all official positions.
He has created a system to keep him in power forever as a supreme ruler, what’s that called again? Oh right, it’s a right wing government and that’s always their end goal.
The only games I’ve ever pirated are the ones that have denuvo DRM ironically, lol.
Games are cheap to buy if they are good and worthwhile.
It’s when the studios try and bait and switch us that I have a problem, or purposefully slow down and punish paying customers because they are disabled by the fear of a few pirates by adding worthless DRM.
I am certain there is not a single Denuvo game that the DRM actually caused them to make more money than simply launching without it…
People in the industry are being taken for a ride…
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
I have been banned pre-emptively from subreddits for making comments in other subreddits. The the sad part was my involvement in those toxic community’s was to get them to see the other side in a reasonable way. If anyone had actually read the comment there would not have been a ban. I even appealed the ban and they told me I shouldn’t even be there and it doesn’t matter. Talk about being close minded and toxic!
(It was left wing subreddits banning me for arguing with right wingers in their own spaces, but I did in a soft way that didn’t get me outright banned - it showed me that the left wing extreme groups are just as bad as the right - extremism needs to end full stop)
The fact that behavior was allowed on reddit should have been a red flag a long time ago.
Saskatchewan's premier says he'll use the notwithstanding clause to override a court injunction that has paused the province's new pronoun policy for students. But a professor says the clause is meant to be used as a tool of last resort.
India has told Canada that it must repatriate 41 diplomats by Oct. 10, the Financial Times reported. Ties between India and Canada have become strained over Canadian suspicion that Indian government agents had a role in the June murder in Canada of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
It wasn’t until I started having conversations on reddit in something I was an actual expert in they I realised most people on reddit have very strong opinions but not much actually knowledge on the subject.
Hopefully less bots and fluff here and more quality content. All I know is after 10+ years on reddit its the end of an era. It was slow when reddit started, and I expect things to be a bit slower here for a bit.
