Maybe it's just the specific areas I've lived in both provinces, but the winters were very different.

They have a percentage of the content that needs to qualify as Canadian, in order to qualify as CanCon (Canadian Content), it needs to pass at least 2 of the 4 MAPL tests.

Music: Are a majority of the songwriters Canadian?
Artist: Is the performer Canadian?
Performance: Was it performed/recorded in Canada?
Lyrics: Were the lyrics written by a Canadian?

Because things like Radio only broadcast, and don't let you choose your own programming, by making them broadcast a certain percentage of Canadian Content, Canadians are already getting a certain percentage of their royalties; No additional fee needed.

When a Canadian act gets big enough, they often stop counting as CanCon. There was a time when Justin Bieber was popular but didn't count because he records songs written by non-Canadians while in the USA.

I think the article mostly focused on Manitoba because the current leadership of the province is left-leaning, but as mentioned in the article, it isn't the best place in Canada for panels. With hydro already covering like 95% of the need, I can see dealing with grey skies and snow making solar unappealing.

Saskatchewan on the other hand, is a sunnier province, the snow is way drier here than it is in MB (people in some places in SK use leaf-blowers instead of shovels for all of their snow. You can't do that in MB), it has less population per km^2, and its electricity grid is full expensive expendable resources. And if you don't care about money, and the environment is more your jam, it has the worst pollution to kWh of the provinces, though it does lose to Nunavut if you include the territories.

But, SK has a leader who wants to get relected in a province pretty controlled by the oil and gas industry. So even if Moe could take time away from his busy schedule of bullying children using the notwithstanding clause to look into this, I don't think that anyone in his circle would recommend it.

This post is on lemmy.ca, so it should be safe to assume that it referred to the Canadian Government

I think the easier app, is to just use the browser.

Why does everything need to be an app?

Is this a joke/shit-posting community?

Who is saying that diabetics shouldn't reduce their sugar intake? I've never heard anyone calling that crank science.

Most shareholders has no control over the actions of the President or CEO, or even have any power to decide on who any of the officers of the corporation even are.

In your hypothetical senario, you should consider the board of directors or maybe even the ISC.

In most corporations, the only thing that shareholders really do is vote in relation to who the directors are. The directors and officers are generally the ones who actually do things.

The directors are often also in charge of share sales and transfers. In corporations not in the stock market, you often can't sell, redeem, gift, or otherwise get rid of you shares whenever you feel like it.

Officers are also appointed by directors, not by shareholders, so that could be another step removed from having agency over what's happening.

Maybe my wording could use some work; It didn't mean that it would cause in-fighting, I meant that it reframes the homophobia as gay in-fighting.

A twenty-ish video that might explain things better, if you are up for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr_g_64oS9Q

The last three minutes are the summary.

Also, I am gay.

Colour Red, and the band name contains a month.

 

Six Feet Under

 

If you just look up the name of the song, many sites will now prompt anti-self harm messages instead of showing you results.

 
 
 
 

Both bands have umlauts in their names, solely for stylistic reasons

"Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes"

 

I mean, this is the same Trinity Western that wasn't allowed to open up a law school because they are garbage, right?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trinity-western-supreme-court-decision-1.4707240

They only started to consider dropping their homophobic ways after their law school bid was rejected.

It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman."

While that rule effectively bars anyone who is unmarried from having sexual relations, it's the reference to "man and a woman" that is considered discriminatory against LGBT people. Same-sex marriage became legal in Canada in 2005.

And Janet, get real. Not being allowed to open a law school because you discriminate against others, doesn't count as a loss in diversity.

Janet Epp Buckingham, a TWU professor who helped develop the law school proposal, said she was saddened by the ruling.

"We feel that this is a loss for diversity in Canada"

Edit: It looks they stopped making students promise to be straight in 2018, but they didn't drop it for the staff.
