Montreal is a lovely city, but it isn’t for everyone’s tastes.
mostly inactive, lemmy.ca is now too tainted with trolls from big instances we’re not willing to defederate

The main thing that concerns me about a fully cashless society is that the means of buying and selling stuff shifts fully into the hands of the for profit, private company payment processors.
Not necessarily true. The federal government can and should roll out their own instant payment mechanism under the supervision of the central bank or federal reserve. For reference: the FedNow initiative in the US, FPS in Hong Kong, and PIX in Brazil.
Interac is an aberration and it should be killed by a real public service.
The Star reached out to dozens of people who left Toronto
Toronto, they said, has become unlivable.
Wow, incredible investigative journalism there. In other news, The Star reached out to dozens of people who left [CITY]. “[CITY], they said, has become unlivable.” Very informative 👍
But also kudos to Ravi Kahlon for actually listening to good ideas, he’s a gem in this provincial government
Fuck yeah Uytae Lee for president
People definitely downvote on things they don’t agree with.
This is different from downvoting because someone expressed their perspective.
getting down voted for expressing your perspective.
How do you know this is the case? Maybe there are other reasons to downvote?
That’s great news, thanks for sharing!
So pie charts are the newest trend for dietary guides? I won’t miss the bullshit of the food pyramid but kinda surprised that it’s gone
Edit: I wasn’t expecting pyramid fans out there lol really don’t understand the downvotes
Could be just a lens flare though
Amusingly the first reply in this post to self-identify is a non-vegan explaining why they’re not vegan.
This joke has always been silly but nowadays it’s ironically reversed
Hell yes they should. Every city should. And expand labour laws to force companies to pay for some of it that would otherwise be coming out of worker paychecks. Make companies share the burden of sprawling development and car dependency. When companies decide to put their offices in Richmond and selectively hire people who commute from North Vancouver, it ruins transportation and the planet for everyone.
Good. Hope it closes permanently
Of course, but you can’t fight everyone.
Clearly some can, and it’s a group large enough to make it to the headline
This might actually lead to housing prices dropping significantly.
This has been scarcely fulfilled promise so far, looks like this prediction has been a bit overestimated. I would very much welcome it but wouldn’t bet on it.
It’s not good enough.
This is a bit subjective, but not unfair.
Trudeau and his government are moving us backwards in climate change action.
Hmm, well, small steps forward is still forward movement.
It’s understandable that this person has this much influence, even though it’s not an elected position. But I do agree that the PBO tone and positioning is very worrying. There’s clearly some agenda in there and the man felt he had something to gain in this biased report. 100% influence peddling, though this is usually hard to prove.
Decent article but senseless headline. Nobody ever positioned mandatory service as a method to make Canadians love their country…
This is fucked up. Hoping for a fast recovery and for charges for these delinquents.
