The facists and racists have existed before Canada was a country but people just keep conveniently forgetting. Except back then they were the ones in power.

Of course, literal records of Parliament don’t.

You are correct except for calling the white colonizers “settlers”.

Settlers in this context typically means immigrants who came over after Australia became a British colony. Usually non-white but there are plenty of Scottish and Irish families who are settlers because of the whole British enslaving them part.

I think the term you’re looking for is covert racism.

I’m Canadian and yeah… Even IRL a lot of people refuse to admit it.

I’ve been forced to educate people about the Chinese Head Tax and the 2 very distinct Chinese Exclusion Acts and how that on top of Yellow Peril still affects Chinese disapora today in government regulations including immigration and social programs, which is super traumatic as a Hong Kong diaspora who is also trans, queer, female-bodied, and neurodivergent.

I’m not sure why you’re confused because the first sentence of the article literally says:

Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in the country’s constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.

Which sums up why they were trying to make this happen, which also sounds like they don’t have an official group of Indigenous peoples advising the government on anything that is an Indigenous issue, which is super bad.

Also, from the article:

Opposition to the voice seized on this ambiguity, adopting a campaign slogan of “if you don’t know, vote no”.

Or the Japanese army during WWII.

Really? My Google Sheets has so many formulas and conditional formatting. There’s so much I can’t do in Excel that I can do in Sheets :/

Also, adding checkboxes in Excel is a pain lol. They made it so difficult.

Society has moved on to attacking Trans and non-binary people, gays included in this ignorant lot (obviously not all gays).

People gonna hate what they don’t understand or if something makes them uncomfortable.

Happens all the time IRL to me. I use both he and she pronouns and ignorant people always ask why bother just pick one. Well, I did, they’re my PERSONAL pronouns and I chose both these.

I prefer Google Sheets over Excel but cannot tell you why.

My Lupe had been going strong and nearly all the parts are serviceable by the end user. It is cordless with a battery though.

Unless they’re Black drivers who don’t even have to be speeding.

I used to go over to my friends and they would feed me. They weren’t much better off than me but they could afford to get some extra ramen and KD.

Pixels also have the live captioning built into its sound ecosystem. Not sure if it got translated to other brand images though.

Thought people were talking about the native app not watching via the browser.

But, yes, Firefox Mobile Android master race. Can confirm it’s so superior!

You don’t even get PiP on Android without premium.

I have. The one time I got COVID, it felt like 40-50C all week plus humidity, I was masking with an N95 the whole time when I was around people, but because I was working an outdoor music festival, 95% of the people I was around wasn’t.

I especially could barely get out of bed, had to use my inhaler about 5-10 times a day cuz it kept triggering asthma attacks, my limbs hurt so fucking much, I was nauseous and light-headed and had insane brain fog. It got better after 2 weeks but I was only really ok for about 4 hours a day and could only be vertical for about 2 or I would get really sick.

I had long COVID for about 2-3 months after that, which included severe brain fog, struggling to breathe, and easily got tired all the time.

I also get COVID-like symptoms when I get the vaccine for 2 weeks all 3 times I got it.

I really wish people would understand that masking is to protect other people by not spreading it to them, not yourself from getting sick.

Actually, prop guns do exist and I’m not talking about the ones that shoot blanks.

Or have you never seen a cosplayer with a gun?

There are realistic looking prop guns that are built without a firing mechanism. Without, meaning it never existed in the design.

I rather pay an annual subscription of $7 CAD than a one time fee of $30 CAD. Why not keep the spice money flowing in?
