ExiledElfto Canada@lemmy.ca•Conflict of interest: Montreal politicians making decisions on housing are also landlords | Ricochet10·2 years agoThat’s an obfuscation of the point. The conflict of interest is that they directly make money from their property - landlords rigging prices and buying all the property are the problem, and they’re also the ones making laws to regulate themselves.

ExiledElfto c/Sports@chat.maiion.com•Ukrainian fencer wants handshake rule changed after DQEnglish7·2 years agoThat’s great that anecdotally you get people to shake your hand. That doesn’t invalidate the way she feels, nor does it invalidate the fact that Russia is doing some horrible things right now.
