The letter argued that Canada’s radio regulations were designed to address the problems created by its vast geography, its “linguistic duality” (English and French), and the fact that space on analog radio is limited, making decisions about what gets broadcast necessary.

Citation needed DiMA. Way to try framing the issue to look in your favour.

Instead of those "issues" we now have locked down apps and opaque algorithms that reduce user control.

To be fair I have found some good stuff through the recommendations, but I also don't know how often they try to boost certain artists because of back room deals. Companies need regulations to keep them slightly honest.

As far as I know its federal.

But now she's laid the groundwork to blame the federal government for something she doesn't have the jurisdiction to deal with in the first place.

Exactly! I remember seeing a video of Jason Kenny throwing out some ridiculous number of jobs it'll bring to Alberta, when Shaw was already an Alberta based company.

I've come to the conclusion that some inefficiencies are actually good for an economy. With multiple companies each has to have a support department and sales department and installation techs and engineers and... It's not very efficient in that there's a lot of redundancy, but it's better for the economy.

Remember during the public consultation when all the politicians were talking about how the merger will create jobs, increase quality, and reduce prices? 🙄

That's hardly a reason to get rid of it or replace it. Clearly people are benefitting from it and it's evident if you look at your tax return. If anything, the fact that people don't know about the return is a failure in marketing. So sure, there are maybe some improvements to make.

But really, no matter what carbon scheme you put in place, the cons will find a way to complain about it. That's not a failure of the carbon tax. That's just how the conservatives operate.

I'd love to see the logic of the cons trying to explain why a foreign agency is spending so much effort to promote their candidate. Clearly Putin is a true Canadian patriot.

The software will likely work, but keep in mind that you'll have to add VM startup time when you want to use the software. I have occasionally seen software behave strangely in a VM as well, so best to just try it.

Can you share the software you went to use? Maybe there's a good Linux alternative or someone knows how to get it working in wine.

Opt in to each lesson!!?? So intentionally making it overly complicated and a burden on both teachers and parents.

Whose turn is it next?

This! Shitting on Trudeau does nothing but give fuel to the cons. The NDP should be out with positive messaging and not participating in the trashy "Fuck Trudeau" rhetoric.

What the fuck!!!! I have a friend who finally got a decent care team through a long COVID clinic, and now they're going to have to continue to suffer without care???

Seriously fuck the UCP!!!!

 

From the article:

Within the restricted zones are hundreds of oil and gas facilities. One open-pit coal mine in the Rockies is before the provincial regulator and the expansion of another has already been approved. Much of the area has been extensively logged.

 

This was posted on Hacker News but I thought it was a really cool article explaining how Elliptical Curve Cryptography works.

 

Go Canada! :)

 

This makes me happy! :)

There are a few houses in my city that have gone all in on this and it's absolutely beautiful! We've started a big project at my house to do something similar as well. It's very exciting!
