Canada@lemmy.ca•Why is the majority of the homeless population seemingly either white or indigenous?
21·1 day agoI think it’s pretty rare for recent immigrants (first gen, and second gen to a lesser extent) to end up homeless in canada, since they usually are well off financially or have family that can support them. Impoverished people don’t travel internationally. Most non-white non-indigenous people here have been here for only a few decades. Chinese and HK immigrants go back further, but it tracks as there are a number of chinese homeless too.
(Other ethnic groups also immigrated in past centuries but not to huge populations.)
Unlike the US, Vancouver doesn’t have a large black population, and the latinx population is not huge either (I mean think about it, we have like 1 good mexican restaurant.)
I am not an expert, just hypothesising.

2·1 day agoYou’re being a little overzealous here. cyber meant no ill will here, just acted a bit hypersensitively perhaps.

2·1 day agofortunately, OP is not a politician, doesn’t have to worry about very contrived misreadings.
So what would Anarcho-Capitalism ball’s reponse be to that?

5·3 days agoThe CBC is correct though. The international push was primarily motivated by the Israeli response to oct 7 specifically. If things had continued as they were before oct 7, I doubt we’d see this kind of international push. Sure, there was activism, but it was not to the scale we’ve seen since oct 7.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•How do I know what proper uses for a semicolon (;) are?
2·3 days agoToo long. Didn’t read.
^ kinda feels like two separate comments. Semicolon makes clear they’re connected.
that is it exactly. Which is not the message I get from the image in OP.
Hitler: I’m a centrist
conclusion: all centrists are hitler.
Notable that this is a transmasc person, which have often been thought to be safe from these changing rules.

News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court declines to revisit landmark same-sex marriage precedentEnglish
510·11 days agoas a canadian, I’m slighlty disappointed. I unironically think your country would implode if gay marriage were banned. It’d be way too unpopular, more unpopular even than ICE. The opposition would be galvanized.

World News@lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani wins NYC mayor's race, capping a stunning ascentEnglish
1·15 days agocan you give some examples of things that would count as world news to you? I would think world news is stuff that affects everyone throughout the world. U.S. politics affects everyone quite a bit.

2·16 days agoA long-term losing strategy, yet short term it normally reliably drums up support in the kind of range that can tip an election. Quite eye-opening to me that an election can still be won with far-from-center politics.

71·16 days agoAfter all, NYC is not part of the world.
Oddly enough, the NYPD have offices internationally, in Qarar, Israel, Colombia, Germany, and numerous other countries. Also, the New York health department is the one that cracked open the case on lead contamination in turmeric farming in Bangladesh. It’s probably one of the most international cities, for whatever that means.

USA | United states of America@lemmy.ca•Teen Vogue magazine has been silenced
0·16 days ago186 employees worked at teen Vogue. 6 were laid off, all(?) were political reporters. Aftermath is that there is now only 1 woman of color on the editorial staff, and if we are to believe the tweet, no trans people remain either. Given the % of population which is black or trans, it should not be surprising that only 6 employees are black women or trans.
However, I think it reflects poorly on their hiring practices that these minorities were entirely concentrated in “political reporting,” which really betrays what we already knew about rainbow capitalism: minorities are perceived to be political. Teen Vogue must have intentionally concentrated minorities into this one department, rather than hire equitably in all departments.
