Still don’t fully agree. The environmental impact of shipping from overseas is costly, so investing in means to create product here rather than overseas should be seen as a necessity.

We grow tomatoes, cucumbers, cannabis, and some bell peppers in green houses here, and should invest in expanding those options available to Canadian consumers.

As much as I like them, their prices were insane. I get supporting local, but at that price point? Ouch.

Look, if he just left it at saying that the protests were fine but the encampment was not, that would at least be understandable.

COMPARING IT TO THE FREEDOM CONVOY? BRUH

Immediate thought that comes to mind is that you can follow the Lemmy and Pixelfed accounts from your Mastodon, which would give you some ease in accessing their posts via Mastodon, and then boost the posts from there.

Hope that helps a bit, tbf cross-platform interactions like this are something I have very limited experience with.

Not entirely. While you can interact with content from other social platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube from Lemmy, federation is best experienced when you utilize platforms with similar use cases.

For example, the link aggregators (Reddit-likes) on the fediverse are Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, and until recently, Lotide. Each of these platforms have similar looks and purpose with slight differentiation. While you can communicate with video streaming or microblogging like PeerTube and Mastodon respectively, it’s best to stay within the link aggregators and make a new account for those purposes.

To give an example with microblogging on the Fediverse, there’s also a number of options. Biggest one is Mastodon, but others include Misskey and it’s endless forks, Smithereen, Pleroma/Akkoma, Mitra, Threads, etc. all with their own interesting quirks. While they can interact with Lemmy and whatnot, their best interactions are going to be with similar-purposed platforms.

My vote’s gonna have to go to Them! (1954)

Genuinely surprised Smith is that low. Like, if it took into account how people nationally felt about Smith I’d see this as expected, but the Angus Reid poll referenced seems to be based on the approval ratings of the premiers by their constituents.

I swear not long back Smith had a 60% approval rating here, which is absurd to think about as expected as it is. Wonder if the podcast surfacing pissed people off.

I actually haven’t! I’ll be sure to contact them!

Thanks! Hopefully that’s still an option, so I’ll likely ask the next time I’m in the area or have time on my hands.

If you can manage to thicken it so that it stays in place, I see no issue. Just with peanut butter and mayonnaise, it’s really easy to spread it over the adhesive without it spreading to where you don’t need it and it staying in place.

Maybe a paper towel might work, but I’d still worry about preventing it from spreading elsewhere instead of staying place personally.

Yeesh, sorry for trying to make a post to the Positive News community.

Cat meows, more at 11

God, why do they feel entitled to our marketplace? Jesus Christ can they just fuck off?

Will do! I’ll look at the smaller communities when I can. Mouse is borked at the moment, so using the Raccoon app on mobile and NumLock keys on the desktop to get around for the time being.

Is that the case? I’ve been hearing a lot about how unreliable the F-35s have been with it being hard to even get them off the ground half the time due to the maintenance needed on them.

I fucking love this guy, the more I hear about him, the more I want to throw my vote for the Greens.

As much as I wish they would ditch May and make him the sole leader of the party, I might concede my gripes and vote for them anyway since he’s just so fucking talented as a person and party leader.

Look up this guy’s portfolio, he walks the walk.

“Joking”

And nothing of value was lost.

If you get excited over the idea of public executions let alone the death penalty, you should be nowhere near not just a seat in government, but also nowhere near civilised society in general. Seeing people’s deaths as a source of entertainment is downright inhuman.

Why why WHY must Charlie Angus be stepping out of politics? I like Singh as a person, but he lacks proper leadership skills that the NDP desperately needs right now.

I have seen Angus’ name in the media equally, if not more than Singh, and that’s incredibly impressive given that Singh HAS to be covered by the media as a party leader. Angus doesn’t. The petitions he’s put out about Tesla, Elon Musk, and how Canada should respond to tariffs, on top of his GREAT speech denouncing the U.S. government is EXACTLY what we need right now.

If Singh dropped as NDP leader and Charlie Angus took his place, I would vote for the NDP without so much as flinching and do whatever I could in my heavily Conservative district to get whoever the NDP candidate is in parliament. This man is incredible and it’s a damn shame he’s not party leader.

Not a fan of the Senators and don’t follow hockey much, however came across this in my feed since I sort by New and Local by default.

The community looks kinda dead. Lemmy has a disadvantage to Reddit in that the userbase is a lot smaller, so more specific communities such as specific NHL teams need a little more heavy lifting to get them off the ground. It’s a self-perpetuating problem unfortunately. People don’t engage with the community because there’s no activity, but there’s no activity because people don’t engage with the community.

You could post news about the Senators every now and again to show people there are others on Lemmy who are just as interested in the Senators as you are. Heck, depending on if you’re up to it, you might even be able to ask the other mods or an instance admin to be a mod of the community after a bit of posting activity. Just on first glance it looks like the community could attract more users if the sidebar was beefed up a tad.
