Every time the constitution is on the table the country nearly implodes.

Will all the provinces agree on a new constitution this time? It only led to two referendum the few last times we tried.

I wasn’t paying much attention to the race but I just checked and apparently it’s not going well for his aspirations. Good.

Sa croisade pour le troisième lien Québec-Lévis et sa sortie intempestive contre les tergiversations de Christine Fréchette à ce sujet n’ont pas été payantes.

Unfortunately Fréchette didn’t admit yet that this is a bad idea, she’s just “unsure” about the proposed route. And sadly Drainville is like a cockroach. If/when he loses, I expect him to find his way again into a party in power and continue pushing his BS.

As Bernard Drainville of Québec’s CAQ once said, “lâchez-moi avec les GES”. Meaning something like “won’t you drop it with those greenhouse gases”. His last title was the head of the Ministry of Environment and Fight Against Climate Change. And he proudly announced that the ban on internal combustion vehicles planned in 2035 was scrapped. He cried on TV when his party announced that maybe building a third bridge over the St-Lawrence for $10G to save a few minutes may not entirely be a good idea.

He’s also the xenophobic idiot that introduced "“Québec’s Charter of Values”. It didn’t work but he still continues to this day to push his xenophobic agenda under the guise of secularism.

He is a despicable human being, and until recently he was responsible for the Ministry of Environment in our province, until he resigned. And the shittiest part is, he resigned to run as the next leader of the CAQ and could be our next premier.

In any way, whatever the next party in power, Québec probably won’t help. Nobody really wants to. Every election everyone just wants economic growth. Ask them what’s the most important every election? They’ll tell you the economy is the most important thing, obviously! And have you seen the price of gas?! It’s robbery! Gas should be cheaper!11!! That’s what’s important!

So no, we won’t meet any climate target.

I’m glad that she’s good at her job and does the killing. It’s nice to have people with the right job for their skills. When you’re good at piloting killing machines, then you do what you’re good at.

I still use IRC. There are now modern web clients like The Lounge or Convos that can display/share images in the channels, keep history and push notifications. Apparently Convos can do video chat but I never tried it. Unfortunately I’m not aware of screen sharing features for any of these.

So on a very simple setup, you need an IRC server, then install and connect one of those clients to your server, and use them through a web browser, either on a computer or on a phone.

It’s obviously not entirely Discord-like, but it is a simple way to chat and share images.

“Reopening postponed due to unforeseen circumstances”

My nation has been under occupation by the English since 1760 and I have no special love for the actual country that was forced on us. The patriots tried to fight against the English; they were captured, and hung. One capitalist master over another, I’m not fighting for that.

We survived for 260 years in a country that was stolen and in a union that was forced on us. We will endure the Unitedstaters if they take over, as we endured the English.

Plus, an escalation and more spending on the military is exactly what the orange turd wanted in the first place. You are being played over FUD.

The world will be such a better place when the poor will fight one another for a line on a map while the rich pockets the money from military equipment sale. But at least everyone is employed and has a job!

What a wonderful way to keep people employed, by pivoting from engines destroying the environment and killing people to, well, exactly the same. It’s certainly a win for them, and us to continue being paid to make death machines. Their union is smart to want to get a piece of the military budget pie.

Just like the US, let’s have common folks earn a living from making military equipment, and depend on those jobs. Great idea. It’s not at all contributing to spending public money on the military instead of useless social programs.

I understand how this can all be a major issue to deal with, and can even be lethal, but I fail to see how it’s Hydro-Québec’s responsibility to make sure pipes don’t freeze in people’s homes.

Does HQ have any obligation to provide constant service to residential customers?

Because of old memes, if feels like something is missing every time I see the king of Sweden without a silly hat.

And if it happens, I’ll revolt just like my ancestors did.

EDIT: What a wonderful way to put the constitutional problems at the forefront and maybe cause a new crisis.

I have never owned a car and have always been very efficient with my traveling. But then the local police department parks half a dozen of police cars near the university, running 24/7 for months, to monitor the dangerous people asking the school to divest it’s money from Israel.

Or, in a day or maybe a few hours, someone like Taylor Swift will pollute as much as I do in a decade.

But yes, I will avoid having a dog to make sure a rich billionaire can have two dozens of them to chase the poor from his domain.
