Here's an #Introduction from my new home thecanadian.social, which I am excited about.
I post thoughts or pictures from places I go, but mostly from Toronto or Canada. I boost messages from my community and enjoy engaging with them, and occasionally I post obscure or humorous news or science.

I work on hardware design, and I may post about that occasionally.

@harold Thanks for sharing that very interesting read from Paris Marx. I recently learned about his podcast when someone boosted it here. And I just noticed he's on the fedi !

@vsp@mastodon.world Great job ! The examples that you give of how the free fair zone enhances community are very moving. I'm persuaded! I think your description of hard-working transit employees responding to an incident will help them remember your testimony.

@evdelen@mstdn.ca I'm not a fan of closed list systems that you describe due to the concerns that you mention, and Fair Vote Canada doesn't endorse them. The systems that Fair Vote Canada recommends are all open-list, such as STV, which I see that you approve of, or open-list MMP.

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net Prediction market sites aren't there to help find 'public truths', they're there to take as many bets, and commissions, as possible
