This is only partly negative polarization, IMO; partly it's creators being provincially focused on their own economic interests, which gets reinforced in a broader sense by parasociality.
Some ppl on this site are negative-polarizing themselves into being more copyright maximalist than fucking Sony.
If we’d Japanese copyright rules, American culture would be vastly poorer for it. As would Japanese culture, b/c Japanese creators routinely use US sites to flout their own insane rules.

It would be kind of funny how utterly and quickly Starmer has failed in his task if the consequences weren't so liable to be catastrophic

This is about the level of rebuttal the ADF calls for these days; just blatant hypocrisy and naked, self-destructive opportunism.
It's not even worth the time to break their shit down anymore.

My CK3 playtime has finally surpassed 600 hours, putting it as my third most-played all-time game on Steam, ahead of Stellaris and behind EU4 and CK2 (which are in the thousands and may never be surpassed because that was a different time in my life).

Technically, the Blue Jays have won the World Series more recently than a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup. It wasn't their turn yet, you see.

You know, if the Canadiens ever win the Cup again, the city of Montreal is probably just going to end up razed.

To be clear, it is Poilievre's position that a 17 year old sending an 18 year old an unsolicited dick pic and then retaliating for being spurned by trying to get them arrested for possessing child porn is an 'imaginary scenario'.

What kind of games do people play that allows them to be sociable with randos nowadays? Is that still a thing?
It seems like everyone in MMOs has sort of retreated into their social silos. Nobody talks to strangers unless they have to.

It's very unusual to see Nenshi taking this tone these days (authoritarian!). He could be quite candid early in his mayoral tenure, but that was a long time ago.
I still don't think he's visibly confrontational enough, but this is a step in the right direction.

Albertans deserve better than an undemocratic, authoritarian government with an absent Premier.

Evergreen thought; wikipedia is basically the only thing left from the internet of the '00s that remains alive and untainted by VC, clout chasing bullshit. It's not perfect by any means, but it's a valuable, free, ethically sound resource.

Back to work legislation has been used by many federal and provincial governments over the last 40 years. It did not require the notwithstanding clause.

Before Ford invoked it in 2022, the Notwithstanding Clause hadn't been invoked in a labour dispute since 1986, which the Supreme Court subsequently ruled was unnessecary. Now we've seen two such invocations in three years.
It was ALWAYS intended for cultural issues, not this.

You know, I was ambivalent about judicial review on limiting use the notwithstanding clause given the precedents, but if provinces are gonna be invoking it in labour disputes, that pushes it over the line.
Even merits aside, this is not what it was ever meant for, and it's not sustainable.

Seen a couple people arguing re; the Chotiner discourse that no one would ever say no to being interviewed by a prominent public figure, and I really think there's a gap here between people who seek out/professionally need notoriety and those who don't.
I would 100% say no, but he'd never ask.

And, for what? To what end, because we won't agree to be the 51st state? It's just pointlessly destructive and self-destructive, even moreso than most of this administration's policies.

Hate to be a nag, but seriously; please go get your vaccinations if you haven't. Between funding cuts and labour disruption, there's already a decent chance of a very cold winter.

14 Alberta hospitals lost their ER in September 2025
Two of these emergency departments were closed for over 400 hours.

The most depressing advertisement I have ever seen is one where a soccer player kicks the ball to collide with the goalpost and a crowd player raucously cheers *not because the player almost scored or missed* but because he was betting over/under 0.5 hit-the-post for the game
