I’m looking at this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta_separatism
and all I see is: disinformation by foreign actors and the majority of people polled are opposed.
So, a loud minority fueled by bullshit they read online has triggered a vote? They are being given the freedom to vote on leaving Canada. The message Ottawa will get is: we’re not all that stupid, like, maybe a quarter of us are…
Just to note that many strikes like this one have ended with the government giving in (or giving back what they took away).
2006 strikes changed a law about contracts for people under 26, the 2014 ecotax strikes, the thing in Guyana, the airport project, the yellow vest strikes, the retirement strikes, the strikes against making it illegal to film police, the farmers.
The parents present at these strikes were maybe students themselves during the 2006 strikes, so they know this. They also know that the police are using a lot more force than 20 years ago.
Private schools have smaller classes and more funding from tuitions and fees. I have not heard about issues with missing teachers in private schools, but the temperature part does happen. Just looking at what is happening where I live today, most of the high schools are closed to keep students safe, a few are barricaded by students.
It isn’t like there are roaming gangs of teens out in the streets. I have not seen any of the protests with my own eyes because there are no schools between my house and my work (which is a university, but a private one so the students won’t blockade it because they pay to be here…)
She has previously claimed that cancer is a fungus that can be treated with bicarbonate soda, that vaccines have caused an epidemic of conditions including autism and cot death, and that pregnant women with Strep B do not have to take antibiotics.
Now experts in the UK have raised concerns in a letter to venues across UK and Ireland where O’Neill, 73, is scheduled to speak.
“Raised concerns,” they say. This person has 394k YouTube subscribers, 3.6 million followers on Instagram and another 1.7 million on FB. That is a dangerous amount of reach for a person who tells lies like this.
He probably is, but an opinion article by Alexander Hurst the meme stock guy isn’t really the best example of this.
In fact, you might not even need to cite an example. Lots of people despise that guy but not the party policies. Very hard choices are coming during the next election and there is already so much misinformation.
The pupils’ grievances range from overloaded timetables and overcrowded classes to insufficient teachers and unbearable temperatures during heatwaves earlier this year.
These things have been going on for too long. I live in France and work in higher education.
It might seem like a weird thing to complain about, seeing how many vacations we have here, but students do spend more time in class compared to other countries. We have to start at age 3 here. We haven’t seen any benefits from this yet.
It is a very normal thing for teachers to be absent without replacement for months at a time. Some students I work with didn’t have a maths or language teacher for their final year in high school.
There are schools with more students than desks, with windows that don’t open, with leaks, with bathroom stalls without doors. I have held lectures in rooms where the temperature was 37°C and admin said “bring a fan from home”. On Tuesday of this week it was 32 in my class.
I hate seeing things burn. It makes the protest look like a wild riot. One of the private elite schools also did a walkout and protest… Did the police show up? They sure did, but they didn’t lay a finger on anybody because you never know who their parents are. The press makes this look insane, but student protests have the support of the communities as far as I can tell.
It really does! I smoked for 26 years and even as a smoker it bothered me.
Excellent find. I’m going to bookmark that and bring it up the next time my colleagues from those countries try to tell me to move there.
Excellent point. You don’t have to convince me. I still think France is safer. But, back to the point of my comment: articles like this make people want to leave Europe, but they are misinformed.
I can’t believe the number of people who just don’t put their vape thing down. It is always in their hand. Driving, shopping, in class, at work, in the restaurant. The have sacrificed an entire hand.
I work with a lot of internationals. I think those countries are more dangerous, but my colleagues and other contacts have told me that things have improved to the point that they are all similar. I haven’t ever looked into it. It could be a feelings thing: they live here and read the sensationalist headlines and assume France is more dangerous than their country of origin.
When we first started dating in 2014 she really wanted to go to El Salvador or Colombia or Venezuela. Things have changed quite a bit in 12 years, and I wouldn’t call them dangerous compared to France now.
Edit: I really shouldn’t listen to my colleagues. I thought perhaps things people used to say about the countries listed above as examples were just stereotypes. My colleagues are misinformed, I was misinformed. They all seem more dangerous than France now that I’ve looked at some stats.
This type of stuff scares the crap out of my wife. She listens to too many doomer podcasts then talks about how we should move somewhere safe only to name a country that is far more dangerous than France.
Just hype to distract from the fact that they cannot turn a profit.
Holmes (Theranos) made promises too.
This is not a great idea. You cannot just flip a switch and make up a tipping culture. Countries that do tips have laws about them and how they are declared and distributed. I’m from Canada, but in my province if you tip at a restaurant, the tips are pooled for everybody working at the restaurant and then declared. In other places, that is not allowed and tips go straight to the pocket of the wait staff.
Don’t let this become a thing.
Tips at a restaurant/café, hotel, hairdresser, taxi, some deliveries… maybe.
Tipping at a fast food joint, a Starbucks, drive through, retail store. Nope nope nope.
It’s a pufferfish
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraodontidae
They eat crabs, shrimp, small lobsters, mollusks, algae, starfish, sea urchins, sponges, coral polyps
They have teeth that can take a chunk out of you. They are poisonous. Homer Simpson ate one.

Managed to keep my indoor temp under 30 today here in Normandy. No AC. Not looking forward to the next few days.
This is exactly what it looks like as an outsider looking in.
