Maybe they are trying to get a free flight to El Salvador?

Do they not realize that they may have just signed up for a tour of a foreign jail cell?

Carney said Trump was running out of patience after Putin declined to take the “off-ramps” that were offered to end the war after more than three and a half years.

Trump is there for Trump, if he could make money “personally” he would tell the alliance to attack. The alliance needs to look at leadership after Ukraine becomes a member.

WTForcast can say some rather vulgar things, you know.

I was really iffy about this but I like the idea of having the library reformatting the drive after the return. Sure there is still firmware hacks or hacks that could be transferred to the library but if someone is going to do that I think there are other things to worry about.

And I think the OS needs to be a variant of Linux, really get the push away from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sun, etc.

There is a problem with that, the Canadian market is drying up for US companies. They are dammed if they stay and dammed if they leave. The leaving part is probably less expensive in their eyes.

Scientific articles should be published and freely available to everyone, at least that is my belief. I understand patents, as it forces more science as people look for alternatives to do the same thing.

Of course they are worried, they should have started the move to electric years ago. Instead they have been lobbying for gasoline.

Sorry I miss read your comment. I have a pihole that blocks a lot of ads and trackers, you could use it to block US companies if you want I guess. I use it to block Chinese and Russian, among a few other TLDs, pages (it does not block companies that use other TLDs from those countries).

The Google sells most of the ad space, so blocking ads is a good first step. I use a pseudo random email address for everything so when companies sell my email address to Google, Google gets nothing. I used to pay for YouTube premium to avoid ads, Google makes more off of ads than YouTube premium and my pihole doesn’t block YouTube ads. I no longer pay for YouTube premium but use Unwatched on my iPhone or iPad and stream it on my TV using my Apple TV. When a hacker breaches a company and gets my email they get nothing. I have a sticker in my Canada post mail box that asks for no flyers so the only ads I get from them are political ones and ones addressed to me, the ones addressed to me I typically send an email to saying this person no longer exists so please stop sending letters to. My ISP started using an exchange server for email, so Microsoft would likely see some of my email stuff. So I have moved all my emails to my domains pseudo random address (or a private professional email with my domain). The pihole started prior to 2024 but my blog and emails were moved in December of 2024.

I was an Apple fan girl prior to Trump’s 2nd term so I had; iCloud storage, the password manager, hide my email, TV, and whatever else was hosted by them, along with many devices. I have moved my cloud storage to a Canadian host, yes it cost a little more up front but over the year it costs less. I have moved all of my things over to stormweb.cloud. I use 1Password as my password manager now, sure I dislike that some times I have to actually use a password instead of biometrics all the time but so be it I guess I have a random email saved on my devices. I had a thing against pirating media, even though in retrospect I was kinda doing it with my pihole setup as it blocks trackers but now I use prowlarr to just schedule different shows and movies to be downloaded. I am in the process of building a raspberry pi setup to replace my Apple TV, I have all the parts, I just need to put them together and hook it up to my TV. I have family members who use FaceTime so I have not changed my iPhone or iPad, and I do not use a desktop but if I did I would be moving it to Linux.

My blog and pseudo-random email addresses are hosted by hosthero.com a Canadian host.

Maybe tell the brain worm that it is actually oxygen and he should just stop breathing.

I got drunk once in high school, I didn’t know what I was drinking had alcohol in it. I was of the belief that the drugs I was on and my brain injury alcohol would be a no good. I have not gotten drunk since then, I have more than doubled my life experience points since than so I know this won’t affect me but I think it is a good idea.

 

"This is a heartbreaking loss, and no words can capture the pain of losing a child. My sincere condolences go to the family during this profoundly difficult time,"

If I could I would kick every antivaxer right in the face because of this.

 

As an AMAB woman with an F on my ID I would be terrified of going to the US let alone someone with an X on their ID. Glade that the government is starting to realize.

 

I think the Beaverton has it right, his elbows are in a quantum state.

 

If she wants to leave Canada she can always just move and leave Alberta.

 

I really hope this is because of us.

 

I cancelled my Cable back when the boycott started, and most of my streaming services soon after. I use a pihole (https://pi-hole.net/) setup and watch my shows on the Global, CTV, CityTV, and CBC apps so I see no ads. I have an unlimited email package from my web host (hosthero.ca) so I can use a different pseudo-random email address for everything. I do all this because I have had my ID stolen once before and have no desire to go through that poop again, and I hate ads.

Anywho I use an AppleTV as my “SmartTV” stuff, hopefully I will be changing that to a raspberry pi this weekend but that is besides the point, when global posted the new episode of Survivor I got curious about if I should be watching it from the global app. I am sure there are ways that they see that someone has watched it but that is about it. I am thinking if I should maybe be just using Sonarr for all of my US TV shows, that way I still get to see it but I am not counted as a viewer. I am curious as to what others think.

 

Smith said permanent residents and non-citizens living in Alberta will have no marker displayed on their card.

Yeah because law enforcement wont abuse that.

Albertans will need to provide proof of citizenship or immigration status when applying for or renewing a driver's licence, according to the province.

Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Dale Nally said the federal government was consulted on the change.

“Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction” sounds kinda maple maga

Driver's licences incorporating Alberta health-care card information will roll out at the same time, Smith said.

"This will also provide additional security around health-care numbers," Smith said.

Smith said there are over 530,000 more health-care numbers than there are people living in Alberta.

Yeah if you are having difficulties with health-care numbers and the population that is an issue, but you wanna bet that the 530 000 number is in relation to people who do not have a license? Here in Saskatchewan we get free stickers to put on our health cards when they are up for renewal, I am willing to bet that you will have to renew your license to keep your health card up to date.

 

Poilievre said Kirk was killed "because he expressed a contrary point of view."

Kirk’s last words and thoughts were not exactly racist but damn near close to it, mass shootings or gang violence. His second last thoughts where Transphobic “there are two many mass shootings by Trans people to count in his country.” Yes I did use two properly there, there have been two mass shootings down by Trans people in the US.

 

This is not cool that they are sharing pictures of someone because of the other people they have thought they have.

 

I realized I needed to get my activism fix, it has been a while since I have sent letters to agencies and I was just really needing a hit. But what could I activate over? Well hey Trump is hosting the G20 at Maralogo why don’t I try shaking the globe up a bit, it has been a little while since I have tried that. I came up with an argument about why Canada should boycott it, then encourage other parties to do the same and then host an alternative in Canada. Then I sent out different emails to different parties. In retrospect I think I took a real low blow at PP but he was letter 3 so I was a little drained. I wrote another email after that still and have a few more for tomorrow. I would like to encourage others to write their MP, possibly even Carney and PP but if you do those two and they are not your MP make sure you say in the letter that you have already written your MP.
