  • Mhm as a Canadian, the entire last week of SCOTUS rulings spells doom for your country if the people of the US allow Trump and any other federal Republican to attain power again. Lots of cause to be alarmed.

    Roe v Wade from before this week was absolutely terrible. Snyder v Grants Pass was downright awful, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo is going to have awful consequences for years to come. Trump v. USA to me is the cherry on top of this shit ruling sundae.

    The best thing you can do is disseminate each of these rulings, and why they are bad to every person you know. The message for Roe is clear, as most non-crazies would rather have state governments not mess with the business in your genitals. Try and figure out a good way to explain each of the others as they are just as horrible.









  • I carry cash and I give it to people in need, I don’t mind cashless payment being the default but at least some of the following things need to happen before we can fully move to that:

    • Canada Post needs to open a savings account/credit card so that it is not profit motivated and accessible to disadvantaged people. Most poor people can’t afford the annual fee for cards with decent benefits, and to get it waived you need to have significant deposits with your bank/credit union.
    • We need a public option compared to Visa/MC/Amex, even if it’s only usable domestically. Letting a handful of non-Canadian companies make a percentage of all Canadians’ transactions is ridiculous and if there was no cash then they would look to jack up rates to whatever they wanted.
    • We need regulations in how credit card companies can charge merchants and customers.
