Spoiler, it’s nearly every time but pointing it out ruins the narrative that ALL guns are a problem.

Ford blew twice that to put beer in gas stations. Clearly we have the money to blow 🤡

Good. Canada is finally not just an economic appendage to the USA. Regardless of which party or president is running the show, Canadian politicians should remember how quickly they derailed us for their own gain.

He is a problem but people who vote based on what they read on Twitter were already going to be a wasted vote. Education at an early age on how to think critically, ask questions and find answers is how you mitigate this kind of crap.

What about TikTok, Facebook or Reddit? One is operated by an adversarial government, one harbors and aids scammers to steal millions, and Reddit is 4chan light.

Banning platforms is not the answer, it opens the door to banning as an easy solution to any issue.

Sounds like a great way to keep wages down and prices up.

Nobody hoovers up more data than the US.

The US can’t even unlock an iPhone without calling in 3rd parties. EVERY Chinese made device collects data, and every Chinese business gives full access to the Chinese government. The US government does collect data but it’s no where near the scale of the Chinese.

Remember when Elon remotely unlocked that cybertruck recently and accessed the cameras?

He unlocked a device made by a company he owns, running software they designed on a network they operate. All that shows is that Tesla’s vehicles are not properly secured and remote access can be abused by Tesla employees.

I’m talking about Canada and not about a war.

During peace times it is not in Canada’s interest for China to know where all our politicians are, it is not in Canada’s interest for China to know where where Canadian military and law enforcement are. It’s not in Canada’s interest for any entity to be able to tell where specific people or groups of people are at any time.

De-spying should not only apply to Chinese cars but all cars and mobile devices.

Correlation attacks, China is king of hoovering up data.

Overly dramatic example: you are in the armed forces, you have a TikTok account, you post a bunch of shit that shows you are in the armed forces. You get deployed for some covert fuckabout and are told to leave your phone at home. You turn off your phone, pick up 3 of your buddies in your Chinese EV and drive to the base/airport/sea port. Dozens of people do this and by seeing the pattern China knows that a bunch of armed forces are being told to quietly deploy.

A less dramatic example might be figuring out where politicians are by knowing where their employees are.

Bernie Sanders had a pretty reasonable take on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlrQKv1vN_4

If they keep the tax in effect until AC season the americans will turn it off themselves.

Yes, people could still access them via VPN,

Have you met people? Most people use the default wifi password on their router.

Nice! Breaking even should be the highest goal for a Crown corp, turning a profit means you are delivering less of a service than you could.

It’s a natural monopoly and should be nationalized into Crown corporations.

So it can be destroyed like Canada post? Power, energy and telcos should be government owned and operated like the military. They are essential and their primary purpose should be to provide a service NOT turn a profit.

That will NEVER happen in Canada. There is too much of the american delusion in Canadians that they are all temporarily poor millionaires.

If we start throwing rich people in jail maybe I’ll be next!

And yet no one seems to care that being poor is punishable by law even though most of us are a few paychecks away from being homeless.

I’ve been using KeePass with a my kdbx in a webdav share, 10/10. Super simple, and with KeeWeb (also selfhosted) I always have access to my passwords.

Have a list of alternatives? Proton is end to end encrypted (so they say) which means regardless of what they are up to, at a minimum your e-mails are can’t be read or sold.

They aren’t paying their fair share of taxes. The wealthy pay politicians both monetary and non-monetary bribes a significantly smaller sum than the taxes they avoid. If the bribes were more than the taxes they would just pay the taxes.

If you think any business that takes debit and credit has not cooked their books I have a bridge to sell you.
