Trump would love this; he’d sic ICE on them and call them terrorists.
“Canada INVADED us to try and shut down our country in collaboration with ANTIFA! They’re nasty and OUT OF CONTROL! Governor Carney isn’t doing anything about it so we might have to step in to get things under control again…”
They’d all get moved around the US to limit the effectiveness of protesting at any one facility and then they’d deport most of them to some other country just to be dog cunts about it.
All part of the plan to keep “suspected illegals” (BIPOCs) from voting on election day.
Hello, fellow eldritch being!
“But not many people know how to use it to it’s full advantage”
This is, of course, their insane attempt to regulate access to information that will ultimately be the stepping stone they use to justify banning VPNs, computers without government controls, and so on.
Do it yourselves, it’s not our job to invade the USA every time its leadership gets too invested in huffing their own farts.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving species. Shame about all of the others that are dying with us.
Wait until you see the new PR hotness that is MAP (Minor Attracted Person)

Can’t wait for this legitimate gripe to be the thing Valve uses to axe this policy!
/s in case this was somehow confusing
It’s because they’d be more expensive if decentralized; all of the extra equipment required to transform the output, step down voltage and such would need to be replaced with thousands (millions?) of smaller units that do the same thing at an individual home/building level, requiring a larger trained labour force to install/maintain/replace them.
Personally, I think that would be rad, but most people don’t care to learn enough to safely be power engineers and if you’re in a 2 year backlog to get your home solar sorted out after a hurricane, you’d probably wonder why they didn’t do it this way instead.
Matt Hatfield, executive director of the non-profit advocacy group OpenMedia, suggests the telecoms may be refusing to fold because even if they lose the battle, they will still have made money during the period they were able to charge the fees.
“Over that time, they will collect more revenue than what they expect they’ll be fined,” he said. “So it’s in their financial interest to do it.”
We need a law that automatically increases a fine to include all revenue earned directly or indirectly with proof of connection to the violation.
Fines being a cost-of-business is nothing more than flagrant disregard for the just rule of law.
Strangling Golden Geese is fun when you don’t bear any of the consequences of it yourself; just move onto the next thing that hasn’t been depleted and suck it dry!
They have had every opportunity to outright ban firearms via Act of Parliament, but didn’t. Why is that? They still went ahead with the OIC, but when they passed C-21, did they ban firearms? No, they just made up more rules to de-facto ban new ones, and that didn’t even work because “new” semi-auto rifles have recently entered the market as non-restricted like the IWI Carmel and the Makasi.
That was all done under the Trudeau admin, but Carney’s government didn’t even hold debates for their assault on strong cryptography, so they could’ve banned them at any time before leaving for summer break, but they didn’t. Why?
If it’s really such a problem, why can’t they do things the legally appropriate way and come right out to ban all firearms?
These people can’t conceive the idea that people own firearms safely, and will do anything to bury their heads in the sand.
They don’t understand that this is ultimately an erosion of property rights and the just rule of law, and they don’t want to. It’ll only be when something they love is arbitrarily banned without justification or compensation that they’ll finally realize it wasn’t really about the guns.
That’s why they’re running around down voting all of our posts like the mature adults they are.
I can’t wait for the government to announce a ban on ICE vehicles and only offer $2 in compensation to the first unlucky sucker who finds out that the FOMO money pool wasn’t big enough to provide fair market value for their once-lawfully owned property.
They can’t argue without demanding we fuck off to a foreign nation or without churlish mockery.
LastPass has been hacked so many times, I genuinely have no idea how they’re still in business.
It’s factually untrue, which is what makes it bullshit.

Yes, I know it’s the Toronto Sun, but there are multiple sources for this out there.
Many police services came out to contest this “buyback” saying it would do nothing to help, and that the money should be spent on border enforcement.
How many x-ray scanners could we have installed at the border for $750 million?
This is bullshit astroturfing from the Liberal government trying to twist gun crime statistics to fit their narrative in preparation for the Supreme Court case regarding their use of the Order-in-Council power to ban firearms.
They’ve decided to generously (read: absurdly) redefine what it means for a gun to be involved in crime.
If a lawfully owned firearm is recovered from a crime scene, even if that firearm was sitting in a safe unrelated to the crime, it’s still counted in their new interpretation of the existing statistics.
Most gun crime in Canada that meets the sensible and reasonable definition is committed with illegally smuggled firearms, no matter what special interest groups like PolySeSouvient would happily lie to get you to believe.

This story was posted days ago and it’s just people whining about falling for the test scam, rather than accepting that it was a well-executed check on people’s knowledge and adherence to good cybersecurity practices.
