why don't venues just post basic show lists anymore?

sorting through an instagram or facebook feed to try to figure out what's happening in a specific place on a specific day is tedious and in truth almost impossible. they don't even have search buttons anymore. it's like they expect everybody to be constantly scrolling through their pages on their phones and read all of their posts within minutes of them being posted. maybe that works for losers that are stuck to their phone 24/7, but normal people would prefer to just look at a fucking calendar for ten minutes a week and avoid getting eaten by their phones. why is that hard to figure out?

these instagram feeds are completely out of order and entirely chaotic, forcing you to sort through weeks worth of posts to plan a weekend. it's so tedious and boring that it's not worth it.

a return to a simple calendar format where people can look up events by date and place rather than have no choice but to get bombarded by a newsfeed they don't want to read is much needed.

canada's courts often don't operate on actual law, they look for predetermined outcomes and then seek for arguments to uphold them. this is a prime example of that backwards operating process, and it has the potential to backfire.

a petition by alberta to separate does not fall under the traditional concept of the duty to consult, which is about land or resource use, but is rather strictly within the confines of how the colonial state operates. further, the law is clear that a duty to consult is not a duty to listen. it's consequently not entirely clear what the court even ordered. does alberta need to consult with indigenous groups before they secede or before they have a referendum? does this apply to any or all refrerenda? do they need to consult again if the referendum passes? in an attempt to quickly dispense of something it doesn't like in the easiest way possible, the court just handed indigenous groups a veto over potentially anything at all.

for example, i could see indigenous groups using this ruling to argue against patriation, which is fundamentally the same thing from the indigenous perspective. 

i don't see what role that indigenous groups should have in colonial governance, other than through democratic participation. their treaty rights should and must be transferred to whatever entity the colonial state puts in charge, but the colonial state needs to govern it's own affairs in it's own ways, it can't be forced to ask indigenous groups how to run itself.

this again traces back to poor selection criteria determined by the trudeau government. the court matters. if you pick poor justices, you run the serious risk of ending up as a failed state.
