44·1 year agoAre you a colonizer too? Unless you’re 100% First Nations (you aren’t) then you are by your own logic a colonizer and doing harm.

Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Those of you who switched from driving to exclusively cycling: how much have you saved in gas, insurance and repairs?
8·1 year agoThat sound awful to go through, I’m sorry you experienced that. I feel like I wouldn’t be able to get back on a bike after having major incident like that. Kudos to you for getting back into it. I live in a bike phobic city where people will openly harass you throwing stuff at you like drinks and shout at you if you are riding a bike in the designated bike lane. And there’s been I think 3 - 5 deaths in the last month alone here since it’s too expensive to own a car so there’s more cyclists now. North America needs to work on its car centric problem

2·1 year agoWho are you? I’ve seen your post history (now) since you mentioned mine. Interesting. I’m not trolling, I’m a genuine person. It honestly feels like you were the one who is trolling. Sorry you were so offended. Hope you have a better life sometime.
I remember our high school history teacher beginning our lesson on WWII. A few days into the lesson (explaining the Holocaust and such) We thought we all knew about it already. Then she asked us how many Jewish refugees Canada as a country took in?
We made guesses. A million, one hundred thousand? Canada is a welcoming multicultural country afterall, as we’ve been taught, so we must have taken a lot!
And then she said Canada took less than a couple thousand Jewish people in. That was quite a shock. The room was silent when she said it. She explained the anti Jewish sentiments of the time. We didn’t want them because they weren’t Christian. It was so strange to us at the time. Why wouldn’t we take them? They needed help. Definitely a strong teaching moment, I’ve remembered it to this day.
Looked it up and this is the official number I guess: Between 1933 and 1948, less than 5,000 Jewish refugees were allowed into Canada - the smallest number of any Allied nation.
Pitiful.

Canada@lemmy.ca•The Devastating Attack on Safe Consumption Sites – The Rover
105·1 year agoCan we really blame people for being upset about human beings taking shits and urinating in their spaces? We find it offensive when dog owners don’t clean up after their pets, imagine seeing giant human shits and smelling piss stained walls when you go out your door… I can understand people not being sympathetic anymore to others willing to violate their space like that.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Man says woman intentionally sprayed him with water gun in Ontario neighbourhood where he's faced harassment
23·1 year agoJeez this completely changes everything. I went from thinking what a waste of police and court house resources to 100% agreeing with the victim’s decision to call the police.
The woman who has been harassing the man and his family saying she would only ever say “Hi” to him, and he would ignore her, as though that’s some sort of crime. Gives me “men catcalling women in the street and then getting pissed when the women ignore them” vibes.
That guy doesn’t owe her entitled ass a Hello or Hi. Especially if he and his family have been continually harassed. But even then if someone doesn’t want to respond to you that’s their right.
He should be able to mow his damn lawn without some dickhead neighbour staring him down and making him uncomfortable. It’s like she was intentionally trying to provoke him into a reaction.
