Western observers often express cynicism towards China’s self-proclaimed “Whole-Process People’s Democracy” without fully grasping its distinct characteristics and underlying principles. While Western liberal democracies prioritize periodic elections, China argues this approach is inherently limited, susceptible to corruption, and ultimately fails to truly represent the people’s will.

Quebec's language law may force music gear off store shelves

Yup. Franco Fascist. I thought these goons were pro-business but apparently they are not either.
and then banning Anglo channels? Non-dubbed movies?
They are going for all of that. Like Fascist.
I am more sympathetic than most to the need to ensure products & services are equitably available in french
but
at some point the gov't has to realize that the entire rest of the world is not going to bend to their whims
NO ONE EVER ASKED FOR THIS #CAQASTROPHE.

@andijah this with us, too. Audio annoys me 9 times out of 10 but you guys are rocking it.
first thing my wife's mother said to her about me was 'you're not going to get together with that idiot, are you?'.
Wow. To vypadá na hodně zajímavou změnu ve školství.

Case in point: there's no way to build a backdoor that only the "good guys" can use.
When the entire technical community says that the EU's ChatControl legislation + similar pose serious cybersecurity threats, we're not exaggerating for effect.
I learned to do a pie chart with gnuplot so let me introduce "#curl CVE severity distribution" .

Ugly laws will be enforced in Louisville. Medical masks will be allowed at “police discretion”.
Police chief says: “We do have to look at behavior of person, what they're doing at time, those kinds of things."
I have a disability that makes me LOOK nervous. I “appear” like I could be doing something wrong. As a result these bans terrify me.
Disabled people have been begging others to mask for years because we were afraid of this exact outcome.
Failure to normalize masking means those of us who NEED to wear them are seen as outliers. Deviants. Possibly criminals. There’s a target on our back.
Medical exemptions are not the answer - they leave too many people behind.
Everyone should have the right to protect themselves from a deadly & disabling virus. Whether already disabled or not.
Banning masks and then saying that the police will determine who is “legit” in wearing one based on their overall behaviour? Its terrifying.
This is exactly HOW profiling occurs. These bans will disproportionately impact marginalized individuals and people of colour.
They could also impact someone with a condition like mine. I’m immune compromised and high risk for Covid complications - so I ALWAYS wear a fitted respirator when I’m outside my home.
I also have dysautonomia - a literal malfunctioning of my autonomic nervous system.
If I’m upright - I “look” nervous. I’m sweaty, shaky, twitchy and sometimes wobbling. I’ve been accused of being drunk in public on MANY occasions.
It’s not my fault - Dysautonomia means I can’t regulate my blood pressure, heart rate, sweating & even pupil dilation.
The things that cops are trained to look for and consider “suspicious” are all symptoms of my disease.
In the past - the worst thing I had to worry about was being accused of public drunkenness. Even THAT was scary for me.
Mask bans mean I could be arrested and charged with a crime. Just for trying to keep myself & others safe.
I tell this story to encourage others to speak up against mask bans. To mask up in solidarity and help us normalize them so they will be harder to ban.
To encourage people to stop assuming if you have a “legitimate medical reason” you won’t have to worry. We DO worry.
We need less judgement, assumptions and gaslighting and more allies. These laws are dangerous. They will lead to more death, disability AND division.
Many of us have difficulty convincing HCWs of our illnesses - what hope do we have with police?
Please - if you CAN mask - now is the time. You don’t have to wait for a mandate or permission. You can choose to say “enough is enough” & be part of the solution. Break chains of transmission. Protect the vulnerable. Don’t allow government to decide who is & isn’t expendable.
We all have power and agency and can choose to do the right thing. We don’t have to sit idly by and accept repeated covid infections & exclusion of disabled people from public life.
Let’s work together and stop these bans before it’s too late.
