As of March 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members.
A plurality stands with the people of Palestine. 🍉

Have fun shit talking the fucking military.
no need to be so nasty
0·4日前Fb was successful because it targeted small groups to start. I think 8 universities, one was western. They got to be ubiquitous there then slowly expanded. So people could see why it was desirable.
Picking up random people from around the internet hasn’t worked on the multiple attempts starting with diaspora.
I’ve been noticing more ads posted up in the neighborhood recently, I feel like people who are off Facebook are looking for new ways to contact those outside their social circles.
You have to bring your own gun?
well glad we settled that. :)
Let me know if Carney ever does anything about this after any amount of time… Other than offer them a contract, give them a business grant, or adopt some international policies that assist them in their evil deeds. Somehow I don’t think time is the limiting factor.
PS I did a websearch to check it hasn’t happened yet lest I be forced to immediately eat my hat. top hit is some job posting ala “GardaWorld From $18.50 per hour Carney, 08069, United States Full time” lol
6·6日前thanks for posting the actual info from the article. For clarity the question was:
Have you changed your alcohol-buying habits since the tariffs came into effect?
I am amused by “I’ve been drinking less” because it is not at all mutually exclusive with the 2 “Yes” answer. And some scenarios are not even possible
- I’m drinking less + haven’t changed what I am drinking
- I have been buying more American products + any of the Yes or No answers
I also highly doubt 12% of people are drinking less. I wonder what the baseline self reported rate of “drinking less” is at any given time. I imagine there is seasonal variation.
Hasn’t the LCBO made an organizational decision to boycott US products?
That’s not a consumer-level decision and I imagine accounts for a lot of it (assuming the self report is accurate).
kids never even pretending to wear helmets on these things
someone i know was going for a walk and chanced upon a mangled child waiting for EMS to show up
52 per cent of all e-scooter injuries we’re seeing involve riders below the legal age
Do they at least give these people and their kids some sort of traffic rules class or something?
I don’t know what the answer here is, it seems like a job for Public Health.
Give away free bicycles? What was wrong with bicycles?
I scrolled all the way up 10 levels of comments, where admittedly people are kind of riffing. You should do the same. The top comment is this:
Another beautiful canadian value that carney is talking about
And I don’t see anyone saying anything subsequent about shutting down of anything.
What I am saying is that this company is facially evil. They are not even putting on much of a show otherwise. They are likely violating all kinds of laws at different levels.
Any government can place laws, regulation and boundaries on the actions of companies which are housed within it. If you scroll up I linked to a federal department which does just that. Theymake decisions about enforcement. I think it would have been possible at any time over the history of this company for the federal government to make use of the tools at its disposal to prevent some horrors from taking place. Not doing so was and is a choice. This is a giant company and even if you or I just learns of it this week, the federal government has been aware of it for the whole time.
The other person was making a joke about Carney’s euphemisms. I think the government as a whole institution is to blame and PM is a component of it.
obviously they got this job because it’s the kind of thing they do, which has been public information for a long time, they even post it to their website.
think of the range of what “private CIA empire” describes
And especially with no prior information available suggesting a vast crime network!!
https://www.gardaworld.com/leadership?bio=stephan-cretier:
In late 2024, with the support of a group of sophisticated investors, he led the largest private buyout in Canadian history, and one of the biggest private equity deals globally, valuing GardaWorld at $14 billion with Stephan Crétier now owning 70% of the company alongside selected management.
It appears that they are operating in the open without any effort to obscure. I don’t know this world enough to make any specific allegations, but the amount of death and suffering summarized there must be massive. You and I are just learning of it now but it is surely known to those in power. This website isn’t even putting any kind of “human rights” gloss on it.
Seem like corporate espionage, mercenaries, money laundering and similar. I also saw Crétier described as a “philanthropist” so likely influence peddling as well. One thing he does is BOLO a free-of-charge service to raise awareness about a dozen or 2 criminal nationwide like putting their faces on a track.
If you have the stomach you could try listening to this Business Council of Canada Podcast interview with Stephan Crétier. From the bad quality transcript I guess it’s mostly about the fluffy end of things: pervasive mass surveillance and gangstalking.
Well, I think the answer is yes. It’s funny because when cameras started, all the systems of camera, I remember sitting with investors at that time. It was growing. I’ve always been looking for money. That’s for sure. So I’ve always been in front of investors. People are saying, “Your business won’t exist. For three guards, we’ll put a camera and a guard.” The problem is the more you put a camera the more you see things. The more you see things the more you need people to get involved. That’s been the reaction. You look at the growth of the security industry, the people side of the business. Since cameras have been there, it’s unbelievable. The growth is there.
what we’ve done is we worked with a lab in Montreal to develop I would call a kind of technology that is able to amplify events when you’re looking for someone, when they decide to put a focus on someone. We’ve developed a system that puts a lot of pressure on the person using social media. We’ve been very successful. We’ve done on the first year seven cases. We’ve caught one person that was wanted for 15 years. The objective is not necessarily to catch more people, but it’s to get people to realize on the long term that the world might be safe, but if everyone was doing their job of being on the lookout, the world would be a safer place.

I’m announcing a plan to overhaul the mayor’s office to protect tenants bringing code enforcement Under One Roof and making sure that agencies are working together to hold bad landlords accountable
starting on day one we will expand the city’s special enforcement programs
- doubling fines for hazardous violations
- tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous
when a really bad landlord like this guy refuses to fix it the city’s going to step in make the repairs and send them the bill
if that doesn’t work the city’s taking over the building
we’re putting the worst landlords out of business
and we’re going to transform 3-1-1 by bringing the latest and cutting edge Technology: scheduling appointments with inspectors so you actually know when they’re showing up to your apartment
and the best part you’re [landlords] going to pay for this
but actually bad landlords are going to pay for this
we’re going to fund this expanded enforcement in the most obvious Way by actually collecting the fines and enforcing the violations the Adams Administration has spent 4 years ignoring
everybody says housing is a human right let’s start acting like it
Public transit should be reliable, safe and universally accessible. But one in five New Yorkers struggle to afford the ever rising fare. Adding insult to injury: our city’s buses are the slowest in the nation, robbing working people of precious time for family, leisure and rest.
Zohran won New York’s first fare-free bus pilot on five lines across the city. As Mayor, he’ll permanently eliminate the fare on every city bus – and make them faster by rapidly building priority lanes, expanding bus queue jump signals, and dedicated loading zones to keep double parkers out of the way. Fast and free buses will not only make buses reliable and accessible but will improve safety for riders and operators – creating the world-class service New Yorkers deserve.
Of course the federal government has the ability to legislate the international behavior of canadian-own businesses.
I’ve known t1d people and it is part of their identities. One person I know got a giant tattoo glorifying their insulin pump because it was so life changing.
