Agreed on all counts. Especially unnerving to say the "criminal class" part when Canada and especially the greater Toronto area are facing an affordability crisis and people are turning towards crime to survive.
And then the ethically sourced soy latte comment? So unnecessary.
Even if they are just trying to gather that information, immigration is the absolute wrong place to do it. So much is riding on this for the individuals coming in, and the fear that it might disqualify them when they were acting the way any good healthcare worker would is real.
But asking if they provided medical care to injured members of Hamas is beyond the pale. This isn't an application for a car loan, this is trying to escape an active war zone and cobble together some semblance. I doubt political affiliation came up during medical assessments, but even if it is the Geneva convention would forbid turning anyone away.
Nemo's vocal range was so impressive that the first time I heard the song I thought they were accompanied by an opera singer- nope, they were the opera.
Last year a transman participated for Serbia (Luke Black) and I don't think he got out of the semi-final, if that makes you feel better..
The popular vote was for Baby Lasagna (Croatia) but I think the jury tends to like solo acts and pop better than bands and metal/heavier rock. It was a big deal when Maneskin won a few years back.
Hmm... A perfectly neutral review with a share of the wording from the contract is nothing but factual, and I believe could be argued to be non disparaging?
I really enjoyed it, and I usually have a hard time getting sucked into tv shows. That said I probably only have about 15 hours across all the fallout games I've played (3,4,NV) because I get stressed out about rads and weapon decay lol
I believe the reason the sign is highlighting women (all women) as opposed to specifically transgender women or people in general is that so few people are transgender,, that's the Canadian 2022 census because it actually included questions on gender, resulting in 0.33% of the population stating they identify with a gender other than that they were assigned at birth. Whereas women usually make up just over half the population, and have usually been made to feel unsafe by men (for example, 97% of women report being catcalled), without touching the rest of the violence against women, almost all of which is perpetrated by men.
If I'm off the mark I would love to hear your thoughts.
Scrolling Lemmy instead of reading the book that I'm pretty into. I've been staying up too late reading lately, and its not late yet, and so I could read now but inertia is keeping me doomscrolling
