‘It’s ridiculous’: Saskatoon’s $300K plastic rock sculptures spark debate over public art spending in c/canada@lemmy.ca

their own website describes themselves thus: "The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a federally incorporated, not-for-profit citizen’s group dedicated to lower taxes, less waste and accountable government."

Google's AI vomited up a description involving the words "a real, legally incorporated non-profit advocacy organization, but critics and journalists debate its claim of being strictly "non-partisan".

Actual reality indicates they're a right-wing think tank that masquerades as non-partisan, rallying against any government spending that doesn't directly benefit petroleum producers or big business interests, and suspiciously staying silent on a 75 million dollar boondoggle involving business people closely related to members of the Alberta provincial government. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2023/11/25/opinion/canadian-taxpayer-federation-convenient-double-standard

So much for their policy of "accountable government."

as it should be. PaperClip on my old C64 was feature-rich and it took barely any memory. An empty Word document takes up more room than a Toronto condo and is about as useless.

They are, yes.

This is like saying Liberace proves gay people are all actually straight.

Here's our version of Metric's "Help, I'm Alive", featuring our good friend Matt on backup vocals. We love Matt's voice: the song would not be the same without it.
Feel free to let us know what you think, if you wish. No pressure. We know you have things on your mind.

Hey there Lemmy.world ! I'm in a band called The Three Leonards. We cover pop songs in a jazzy style that might remind you of artists like Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, or Tom Waits. We have two full albums of songs, streaming everywhere:

The Three Leonards - a band with two albums (songwhip.com)
 

Hello Lemmy.world! I'm a member of The Three Leonards. We do covers of pop songs in a playful jazzy style which might remind you of artists like Leonard Cohen, or Nick Cave, or Tom Waits. We might even remind you of that one time you tried mushrooms with those degens from upcountry. We're not here to judge: life is just like that sometimes. You do you. And while you do you, whether you're on mushrooms or not, you should listen to our music. Because it's fun. And because you've probably never asked yourself: "What would it sound like if Leonard Cohen did a cover of Toxic by Britney Spears?" And now you don't have to ask yourself. It's right there.

Feel the groove. Feel the love. Feel The Len.

Forever Young (Bittersweet Version) - The Three Leonards (www.youtube.com)
 

Morning everyone. Here's the most recent release from our ongoing music project The Three Leonards. We re-imagine pop songs in a LeonardCohen-esque style.

Have a listen and tell me what you think. We know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but some people really like tea. Remember your first cup of tea? I sure do.

We also released an entire album last year, which I can link in the comments here because this place doesn't have a gigantic stick up it's arse. https://open.spotify.com/album/5RwGC1qOeAQvIENh9X353F

Have an awesome day, Internet. You deserve one. Maybe our music can be a part of it.
