This makes me sad.

I would rather see them focus on less crappy, half-baked TV series' and more on providing quality, unbiased journalism. I acknowledge that they do some good work with their TV productions regarding covering topics unique to Canada or showcasing under-represented communities that don't often get attention from major studios/production companies (i.e. Little Mosque on the Prairie) but, to me, that just isn't very important compared to the value they offer for journalism in the national discourse of, well, everything.

Binance sounds like a financial institution for bisexuals.

Yes -- I agree, it does work for memes.

I've been thoroughly enjoying Lemmy much more than I did Reddit. I find it's overall less toxic and I'm therefore engaging more instead of just lurking.

One criticism, though: I really do not like the communities that use bots to copy over posts and comments from Reddit. I see no value in commenting or engaging on those posts as the original poster is not present for discussion. It's also kind of weird that the original posters are most likely not aware their post and its comments have been copied elsewhere and may be having further engagement.

And they're all like shocked Pikachu face when so many workers have taken job action over the last year and a bit. Tax the rich! Create a windfall tax!

No. It's awful. The only fast-food coffee I find tolerable is McDonalds.

It's nice to see the Commissioner publicly stick to their morals and what's right.

Ban them all together! Most are unlicensed businesses running in what are designed to be residences. AirBnb / VRBO have identified a "market opportunity" for more holiday rentals that are purpose built and don't take away from our very limited supply of homes. Further, jobs at legitimate businesses provide actual employment with employer and social benefits (CPP, EI). Short term rentals are all around bad -- for the housing market & workers rights.

Ugh, paywall.
