Yeah, same thought here. Even more revealing (damning?) Is the fact that it was written by 'staff.'
I see this style more and more, and they always serm to be written by generic 'staff.'
Honestly, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the picture was that her son made her a crown, and she was proudly rockin' it.
Thanks for the info. I'll do some digging.
Edit: it’s very cool that you even asked!
If we've learned anything in Canada in the last 15 years, it's that finding out about a culture before adopting it is kind of important.
Love this answer. :-)
Also, from the perspective of an outsider, your culture is far from dying. Here in Canada, we started down the long road of reconciling our history towards our Indigenous population a handful of years ago - and when we were in New Zealand, it felt like the country was a decade ahead of Canada. (which in turn is probably at least a decade ahead of the USA.)
There will be retrograde motion, and there will always be asshole xenophobic politicians; but it certainly felt like on the whole NZ was getting it more right than wrong.
One thing about it is that there's a lot more traffic. I used to browse "all" new posts, just in the hopes of seeing something new - a new post or some discussion on...something.
Lemmy traffic is steadily increasing; and I suspect the community stuff is not growing as quickly. That's not the only reason, but that's part of it I'm sure.
2 is for 2-spirit; I've seen both 2 and 2S, but either way it refers to Indigenous 3rd-gender folks.
Let's cut to the chase.
This bill, and many like it, are created with a clear purpose: to subjugate women. Harming the LGBTQ2+ community is almost secondary, since they can do that just fine already.
They're terrorists.
Not activists, terrorists.
Sorry, but a shithead losing support doesn't qualify as news.
I wish I had a Liberal MP to hold feet to the fire.
Alas, being in Alberta, I have a Poilievre-loving knee-jerk sycophant Conservative who is scared of his constituents. (Len Webber)
Since my vote matters NOT AT ALL (Thanks to the complete lack of promised electoral reform), I suspect I'll be voting Green in the next election.
Hey all.
Canadian here. A number of years ago my family visited New Zealand, and while falling in love with the country and the culture, I also discovered the Hei Matau - the Maori fish hook.
This has haunted me ever since, and I want to carve one for myself. However, we've spent the last decade starting to understand the relationship between European settlers and the North American Indigenous people.
So what I do in my basement with carving tools is my own business, but I ask honestly if wearing a Hei Matau in public is considered respectful or appropriation. And also if the material matters in this context. (It would likely be from a tagua nut - "vegetable ivory" - although it's possible I could get some whale bone from my coastal friends.)
You don't need an app for that, just replace 'www' with 'old' in the URL.
PfFt. Amateur level stuff!

And that's not the limit, either.
The CBC is failing badly here, in accepting the claimed purpose of the war room at face value.
The war room was always primarily created to funnel taxpayer money to UCP friends. The energy argument was just a veneer.
Gas for the motorcycle, and ride. Maybe $10 for gas and $5 for a coffee somewhere.
As frustrating as this may be, it's even more frustrating when I see exactly the same thing among PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS!
directory structure and basic text editing are foreign concepts to them. If it's not in their IDE, they really don't understand it.
Also, 90% of them are hunt-and-peck two finger typists.
Really?
The PDF contains the information. The screenshot contains a picture of the information.
It's a tree vs. a picture of a tree. A recording vs. a live performance.
So after a hard winter of riding, the preload adjuster snapped off on my old Dart 3 fork.
The plug itself is still usable to hold the spring in place, but there is now a clear opening for water, dirt, and whatnot to get into the spring side of my shocks.
They do well enough for the riding I do, so I'd just as soon not get new forks. If I could find a replacement adjuster I'd be a happy camper, but alas - Rockshox/SRAM doesn't have decade-old parts available that I can see.
Any other leads you good folks could offer?
Of course you can do what you want to do - leave it, strip and paint it, touch it up, turn it fuchsia...
But for me the real question on mucking with vs. carefully restoring (or leaving as is) comes down to whether I'd call it "vintage" or just plain "old."
Just looking to start up some chat about the event. Would love to hear how the Gina Carano panel went!
Greater transparency cited as reason for pulling back curtain on previously unreported cash
The party member behind 2021 petition for a leadership review, Bert Chen, vehemently denies allegations
"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will introduce a non-confidence motion Wednesday designed to topple the government and trigger a federal election — a parliamentary manoeuvre that's likely to fail."
Apparently you can apply online for your (R)PAL now. Great to hear and very convenient since I just passed my exams today, but it's a very new process, and I'm curious about how smooth it goes vs. the old paper submission.
Has anyone tried it? If so, what was the delay in getting your license?
I created this post on my local server, calling for what I thought was reasonable action against a self-proclaimed threat to Canada.
Someone in the community disagreed (fine), and reported the post on their hosting instance (lemmy.world), which led to an immediate deletion of the post (on that single instance only).
Think is, I really don't feel that it was warranted - and neither do most of the community members over on lemmy.ca.
I realize that instances are autonomous, but is there an appeal process to potentially have this reinstated?
Yesterday I created a post on a regional community on lemmy.ca.
Fairly quickly thereafter, I got a DM saying that the post had been removed because someone who disagreed with me complained. Oddly though, the DM came from a @Automod@lemmy.world - not the server hosting the community.
Furthermore, I still see the post when I go looking - and there has been a bit of discussion about it.
So my questions:
(a) Can a post be removed from a specific federated instance without being removed from the original instance? (b) Is there an appeal process for removed posts? I'm sorry that the guy got all butthurt, but my post was sincere, measured, and (I think) reasonable. If it offended someone, they should discuss it.
Just a reminder that #DanielleSmith and the #UCP are welcoming #tuckercarlson for a visit this month. It would be a shame if this man was denied entry into Canada because he is a danger to Canada.
IS he a danger to Canada? Well, he's openly called for the US to invade and depose our democratically elected government.
There's a change.org petition to deny him entry:

So when my mom moved, I inherited her 1960s MCM coffee table. The end pieces are veneered particle board.
Now the veneer is in good shape - no chunks missing, no big lifts or anything - but it’s rough and covered in tiny not-quite-bubbles.
I’d like to find some way of just smoothing it all down, and I expect it to look natural again, but I’m being cautious. Anyone dealt with this before?
