* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

Proper thing: No pride in genocide ✊.

I'm noticing lately that more of the most important news that I'm seeing reported in the Canadian press is coming from smaller outlets. It's both a credit to SaskToday's journalistic practice and disappointing on the part of larger and/or more local (to Ottawa) papers that SaskToday is the only outlet I found publishing this balanced story by the Canadian Press. The right-wing rag that is the NatPo titled their article on the issue, "Ottawa Pride loses key allies over anti-Israel stance" lol. I've also seen some great articles recently from GuelphToday, which seems to be part of another smaller news conglomerate that is not related to that of SaskToday.

Sucks to be them.

Capital Pride took a very clear, honest stance: They refuse to stand with terorism or genocide. They denounce Hamas and its attacks, they repudiate antisemitism and Islamophobia, and they call out active genocide.

If politicians have problems with that stance, maybe they should consider who they are standing with.

Typical Liberal L. Guess they only have morals if it costs them nothing.
