Don't Fuck Around and Find Out. Be informed about the policies you're voting for.

Exceedingly summarized positions from three of Canada's parties based on information either readily available on each party's website (NDP, Liberal, Conservative), or otherwise found through articles.

Don't just take this chart at face value. At the time of this post, none of these parties have released their official 2025 election year platforms.

Also as a way to make politics slightly more bearable, take a shot every time Pierre Poilievre says "Trudeau" in a public statement or social media post. Happy holidays 🍻

My "Lost Civilization" project, this is one of my favorites done this semester. : )

i cannot keep quiet about this anymore.

if you're in the US or Canada and interested in learning a language using a free app please get a library card and download MANGO. it's very good and extremely free with a library card (there are many public libraries and universities using the service, so make an account and use the search feature here to find out if there's one near you).

mango currently has 72 available languages and dialects (that's right! different courses for french or canadian french! spanish or latam spanish!). it's set up basically like an audiobook with text. the idea is that the narrator explains the words while you read, and you repeat after them or say the translation out loud when prompted. there's a daily review where you go through flashcards. you can also use the flashcards at your leisure and create your own. at the end of each chapter there's a listening comprehension quiz and a reading comprehension quiz. i cannot emphasize how effective this all is. and it's free with a card.

if you're not in the US or Canada and/or looking for something more like duolingo (don't use duolingo btw tldr they fired translators and replaced them with "ai"), then try BUSUU! it only has 14 languages atm but the lessons are really descriptive and effective. it also has a feature where you can correct other people's open-ended speaking/typing exercises. you set your fluent languages, and exercises by people learning those languages will appear in your feed for you to correct. you can even add others as friends! and, much like duolingo, it has a streak and leaderboard system for you to strive for, minus the guilt-tripping owl.

busuu is free (you watch ads to unlock lessons and they're all skippable after like five seconds), although it also has paid premium/plus versions (i don't use the paid version—the language courses are available for free, and the ad system is Really unobtrusive).

so that's my wisdom for the day. mango and busuu. please check them out :)

I see you’re exploring different question avenues!

If we’re going by effectiveness of causing negative feelings then:
