It’s so sad these elections are no longer about what policies each candidate promises to apply if elected but about attacking the other candidate.
'Twas always thus.
When we first got cable TV and access to US channels, I was shocked that US campaigns were almost entirely “my opponent is a crook, so vote for me” attack ads. At the time, Canadian politics was still biased towards making promises (that the politicians never kept).
That was 1981.
I saw a political cartoon that used the phrase “grab him by the felonies.”
I’ll happily second the recommendation for Knifewear. They sell hierloom-quality cuttimg tools.
S.C.T.V. for sure.
And when I was younger, The Friendly Giant.
God DAMN it, nobody except a jury and jusges should be able to watch that video.
Far-right trolls…
So then, just Republicans?
That sounds like a dream. Last place I worked aa an employee, we got “col” 9which was actually less than 1/3 the government-declared col) plus as much as 1.1% merit increase.
Typical raise for a high performer was around 2%.
Telus has been digging their greasy fingers into healthcare - specifically government-funded, for-profit healthcare - for about a decade now.
Fair enough. Even so though, consider their respective revenues:
So less than a third of second-last place. In relative terms, that’s a lot smaller.
Awesome news.
I have been with Freedom for quite a while now (towards the end of them being called Wind), and they have consistently improved in service quality and coverage.
What I like best though, besides the prices, is how straightforward it is to buy a data package for international travel. Pick your start date, country, and data amount and it’s done in two minutes.
They’re not perfect, but they’re pretty good and they’re also not the oligopoly.
And by “forgot” you mean "couldn’t affotrd,’ right?
I’ve been playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon, which is an actual roguelike game.
Egg Inc is angrowth game that’s silly and fun. Squad Alpha is a great casual shooter, and all ads are voluntary. (Note, this is NOT Alpha Squad.)
AP is doing the Heritage Foundation’s work with this article.
The unhinged fascists don’t need to be right. They don’t need to be taken at face value. They don’t need anything but publicity, and AP is giving it to them.
This seems suspect.
The woman in question is a tiktok ‘influencer’ who has the most amazing things hapoen to her - always wiithout evidence.
I think it’s just as likely that she’s lying to get views and subscribers,
Lots of middle ground out there.
Marantz, NAD, Cambridge Audio, and others all can put together great semi-audiophole systems. If a shop tries to upsell you on cables etc., judt tell them ‘you’re already covered.’
Meanwhile, small speakers for under $500 have never sounded better.
Or you can step up a notch and by used. I’ve got Rotel and Rega gear, which is way over-value.
Yeah, that’s the ticket - they WANTED to leave but those mean ol’ cops kept them there!
Good grief.
Why WOULD they?
FB and Twitter are simpler, better-understood, and better-attended than Mastodon. They serve the goal of ‘meeting the votors where they live,’ admirably.
Spinning up a Mastodon instance would require money and effort and risk, but most of all, leadership; both in the sense of the groundbreaking, and in the sense of leading Canadians here (rather than going where they already are).
Honestly, the reasons to abandon the existing sites are non-issues for the majority, as evidenced by the majority still using them. The fascist robber barons who run them are an easily-ignored inconvenience.
I’m not happy with the government’s response, but it was 100% predictable.
Unlike most, I survived the API garbage because I primarily used the desktop site.
But the subsequent response and then the removal of the “don’t sell my personal info” option was clearly spez saying the quiet part out loud. Asshole doesn’t deserve to get richer off of my effort.

I’m in Canada, but much of the cost of adoption is the same.
The only significant difference I know of in the US is that some ahencies are for-profit, and medical costs aren’t covered by unicersal healthcare, so have to be added on.
