BlackBerry fucked itself with some very questionable management decisions at the same time as its market was completely disrupted. But sure, corporate welfare would have helped.

DonkMagnumto Canada@lemmy.ca•Vatican returns Indigenous cultural items to Canada's Catholic bishops on a 'historic day'2·5 months agoTwo thoughts:
- Canada has an ambassador to the fucking Vatican???
- When returning stolen items, don’t phrase it as a “gift” in your fucking press release. I get that it’s a probably a legal technicality thing but ffs there must be a better way to phrase that.

*yellow stands for both mustard and cowardice in my clever wordplay.

DonkMagnumto Movies & TV@hexbear.net•["Hollywood has no new ideas" news] "Heat 2" is in the works. Michael Mann co-wrote a "Heat 2" novel that came out in 2022. "Heat 3" is a possibility. "Heat (1)" came out in 1995.English4·5 months agoI checked out the Heat 2 book thingy, thinking to myself, “it’s Michael Mann, how bad can it be?” I couldn’t get past page 10.
It’s so much worse than you might imagine, not even fanfic quality.
DonkMagnumto Canada@lemmy.ca•Observers anticipate lengthy legal process after B.C. Aboriginal land title decision4·5 months agoMy understanding is that this ruling was inevitable, and that no one informed on the issue should be pretending to be shocked, most of all our provincial government.
It will get further refined as the process unfolds, but there’s no getting around the well-established fact that the BC government illegally sold that land.
I also think it’s a positive that this is shaking people up: we need more pressure on all levels of government to get treaties negotiated.

What a game! I think we got lucky that Yamamoto couldn’t stretch out, that dude has been haunting my nightmares.
Not a regular sports watcher and loving this series, simply incredible baseball out of both teams, every single batter seems to be a threat and the battle of the blue-collar pitchers is wild, such a managers’ series.
In other great sports for non-watchers: The Vancouver Whitecaps are in the semis, they have been a blast to watch and are playing great scrappy soccer.

Maybe we shouldn’t be rushing to jump into bed with another autocratic bully state.

It’s not just US auto plants, we have a sizable auto parts manufacturing sector that employs a lot of Canadians. Then there are all the indirect jobs and the raw materials (steel, aluminum etc).
Any Chinese manufacturer who wants to sell EVs here needs to be pitching a plan to manufacture here.
DonkMagnumto Canada@lemmy.ca•Ontario bill would look at ‘alternative options’ for ending residential leases, scrap Toronto green roof bylaw. Here are the highlights51·6 months ago“Many people who do not vote very often correctly identify that the system is rigged against their interests and will not recognise their choice.”
That’s quite a claim.
Are you suggesting that elections are rigged? Or that electing NDP or Green MLAs won’t create positive changes for the poor? Both premises are false, in my experience, and there are NDP-led provinces that prove it. I’ve watched this play out for the last 40 yea
Things are not perfect in those provinces, but they are objectively better off than in Ontario. Because people fucking voted. Not voting will always hand power to the conservatives, and giving people a BS excuse to do so is wildly irresponsible.
You can tell yourself whatever you want to excuse yourself for not voting, but please don’t spread the lie to others.

Everything Uline sells is cheaper elsewhere, often by a long shot. They exist because they are convenient for purchasers and because they send swag for the warehouse crew to steal.
