Wow, very nice!!

I’ve got a razor from the Rocky Mountain Barber Company, who is also Canadian, but I don’t think they make their razors here! They do have Made in Canada stuff for your skin and face, though. 👍

In all fairness, I’ve seen a video of a bald eagle attacking a grizzly

What, did he lose a bet or something? WTF for real! LOL

Bowmanville isn’t too bad to cycle in, but mostly because it’s pretty small. Getting to and from Bowmanville is a different story. Nash is the only way in from Oshawa, unless you go out of your way along the waterfront trail, or take a non-cycle road.

The problem with Nash is that while it has bike lanes along most of it, cars exceed the speed limit all the time, and I’ve had some very sketchy encounters with overly aggressive drivers on that road. Being such an isolated road with no lighting and mostly farms surrounding it, it’s really only ideal to ride during the day.

Whitby and Ajax are the best places to cycle in Durham Region, but even they have unconnected routes, especially between neighbouring municipalities. Still, very easy to get around without a car if your commute is only <15 minutes.

That would be ideal. If that was the goal, I’d support requirements for that. But that’s not what we have, we have gigantic tariffs that were implemented because America did the same.

Tariffs aside, the EU is already making it so cars with fewer screens and more buttons will get a higher safety rating.

That’s a step in the right direction, and hopefully, the requirement for all vehicles to have an “offline mode” will be implemented soon, too.

I don’t believe cars are not a meaningful attack vector

Considering that EVs are now ranked as the worst offenders for spying on people, just imagine if China was being fed live audio/video + locations of all their customers. They could effectively set up actual surveillance that saturates every populated square meter of the country (including in people’s garages or driveways!) through the Trojan horse of affordable EVs.

We should be cautious.

That said, if China can provide safe and affordable EVs that aren’t connected to the internet… basically a dumb car that runs on batteries… it would be a much better thing for anyone considering a new vehicle.

Personally, I’d rather support Canadian, European, or Japanese auto manufacturers.

Electrek (the publisher of the article) seems to be a bit of a shill for Chinese EV companies, or he’s getting some kind of commission. He’s repeatedly promoted Chinese factories, goes on Chinese factory tours, etc… I don’t know what the angle is, but it’s vastly different from similar sources like Electroheads out of the UK.

That said, fuck Tesla.

Also, Canada should invest in building more micromobility devices here, like e-bikes, e-scooters, etc. The future isn’t cars, and we need more affordable, accessible modes of transportation.

I’m self-hosting Navidrome, which does sync playlists. However, Android clients generally suck, so I’m using Symfonium (paid app) to access my NAS music files.

If you can put up with the currently available Navidrome clients, then that’s a FOSS (and self-hosted) solution to consider.

We should frame it like “our tariffs will remain for a minimum 30 days after your last move”.

This would prevent the daily flip-flopping market manipulation Trump is engaging in, and would create some predictability and consistency for businesses and consumers.

Can we stop “planning” and start executing? Trump already admitted yesterday that these tariffs are to “make America rich” and that he’s still going to take countries “one way, or another”.

We need to starve them of resources in order to minimize the damage they can do, because the longer this drags on, the greater the chance we lose this country.

And the only way we can “win” is if Americans turn on their government and demand that the oligarchy is dismantled so that power can return to the people. This can be accomplished by making Americans feel exactly what their government is doing to them.

Every time he said something like “it’s never been done before, until I did it”, I’m reminded that sensible guardrails prevented previous presidents from overreach.

Trump has been actively removing those safeguards, regulations, and guardrails.

So, when he boasts, it’s worth keeping that context in mind.

In reality, now is the time to tax the rich. Let them carry the rest of us for once.

Bald Eagles are particularly lazy and will usually just try to steal from more capable hunters or just eat carrion. 😂

Geese also don’t take shit from anyone, so it was a long shot for the eagle.

Anyone watching it would have been just as angry at the horseshit coming out of Trump’s mouth.

Literally everything he said was either a lie, some narcissistic ego jerk-off, a shot at Biden, or some racist rant about “most immigrants are murderers”.

And the clapping and cheering. Disturbing cultism.

A city in Durham Region, Ontario. Pop around 185,000.

I’d like to add that Odd Burger, the vegan fast-food chain, is also Canadian!

The biggest issue in my eyes is that they removed wording that explicitly states they don’t sell user data.

Until they put that back in their TOS/PP, then I can’t trust them.

54k likes? These idiots don’t realize that this man child is hurting them, too.

The other 27% must not read the news, eh?

Even if you believe the US is an ally to whatever country you’re from (outside of Russia, of course), he’s proven to be untrustworthy and unreliable.
