The community is called "Buy Canadian", so it's about buying Canadian.

I get what you mean by "not wanting to deal with the corporations" but If they have a name, they are likely a Corporation. It's like saying you don't want to drink chemicals, but everything you drink is chemicals, even water.

Non-latex non-animal condoms are quite common where I'm from, are they rare in your country?

Alberta banned declawing cats before Ontario did.

I didn't expect that

Because they see the sales numbers of FC 25 or Battlefield 6, or the revenue of Roblox.

Lemmy isn't, but lemmy.ca is hosted in Canada.

Lemmy.world was made by people from the Netherlands, but lemmy.ml is the original Lemmy.

If you are familiar with queer cinema, it is.

Some of them you need to open the image in a new tab/full-screen it to see.

The ports on the laptop are different in each image.
The resolution of the ports is much, much higher than other parts of the image.

The image has a bunch of fake compression artifacts.

One character in the second panel has an eyebrow, the others don't. The line-weight on the eyebrow doesn't match the rest of the comic. That character has its mouth open, but the speech bubble isn't connected.

JW are also sent out in pairs. Much like the Mormons, it's a way to make sure that they can spy on each other because if your partner falters or strays away, it's also your fault.

Sorry, I mean because of Luke 10:1.

The person in the article is seeming to dig their heels in using bad logic.

I would not apply for something that I would not qualify for.
I applied for the funds.
Therefore I qualify for the funds.

Depends on the share structure.

If the shares are retractable, then the corporation can buy them back whenever they feel like it. The shareholders consented to this at the point of allotment, because they are supposed to have read the articles before purchasing.

The monostructure of shares is one of those things that movies/t.v. shows nearly always gets wrong. I was happy that Succession got it right, because they definitely needed to for that story.

If you've ever heard "I now own 51% of this company!!" on a show, they are hand-waiving things so hard. Some resolutions need a larger than 2/3 majority by the laws of the country/region for specific tasks, and some corporations have extremely restrictive quorum requirement.

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?

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.
