Even worse than it being wrong, is that by nature of the tool it looks right.

It reads to me like someone trying to build a persona that Elon would like.

If you’re deploying weapons on your own territory to reduce the operational capacity of an invading force then it’s by definition defending your country.

If you have a problem w/ this you’re going to have to cycle to the next argument because this one is nonsense. NEXT.

It’s a tough fight for them because of how familiar the population is with those corps.

Lab services in Sask have bounced between private and public several times… Nobody really notices (which is sad IMO)

But SGI and SaskTel… Everyone is a client, and everyone can look over any provincial border and go “whoa, don’t wanna end up like them”.

Lol. It’s a crown corporation and WILDLY popular. No one will squawk? Any party would not withstanding that shit immediately because it’s popular, and then just wrap it in their party-specific words.

The LAST thing Bell wants is to draw national attention to how well a provincial offering is. The LAST thing they want is for people to see that there are alternative structures that are working for other Canadians.

Bit of a stretch to say they’re rivals.

I TOTALLY agree.

I think everyone is here thinking I’m pro asshole, I’m just super anti-cop and the problematic systems that enable them.

I am super anti-asshole, but I’m not ready to trade systemic anti-asshole structures that would further enable abusive policing.

I wish that were the case, because it would provide financial incentive for police restraint.

If the hundreds of university kids who were arrested for Gaza protests hit the lottery, I’d be thrilled.

They will say, while simultaneously ignoring every NIST recommendation

The Jury is completely irrelevant because it’s after the fact. What matters is what the police can use as justification.

I’m saying that the bar needs to be raised for what the police can cuff you for. I am not in favour of “arrest them all and let the jury decide” approach to policing.

My concerns are the legal apparatus that can not distinguish between nuisance and protest.

I think protests against the genocide in Gaza are appropriate l, and I wouldn’t want people rounded up for being a nuisance.

I think the BLM protests were appropriate, and I wouldn’t want people rounded up for being a nuisance.

I think the protests around truth and reconciliation are appropriate, and I wouldn’t want those people rounded up for being a nuisance.

Basically, I’m just saying the knife cuts BOTH WAYS. Any laws that can shuffle people out of your sight for being something so poorly defined as a “nuisance” opens the gate for it to be applied against protests which are BY DESIGN disruptive to some degree.

I’m responding specifically to the comment where the commenters SPECIFIC beef was revving an engine at 1am.

You can think it’s an asshole behaviour without thinking it’s appropriate to charge someone with a crime.

If I noise complaint a protest, should everyone e arrested?

I got the brain inflammation outcome 20 years ago. Brutal. Would not recommend.

In the past, it’s been to just prioritize not getting bitten, so use bug spray and consider how you’re dressed. If you are going to sleep outdoors maybe consider how well your sleeping situation is going to protect you.

Also, big one is to think about if you’re creating good mosquito breeding conditions on your property. If so, change that.

I know years ago, there was interest in reporting/cleaning up suspiciously dead birds too. Not sure what the current direction on that is now.

If it depends on how ES6 is received they still have another 6 or 7 years

Somewhere in an ancient crypt, the bones of Luther begin to twitch to life…

I guess I’m saying I wished he hadn’t changed, and just did the thing he said he was going to do originally.

Harper wrote a fantastic essay on electoral reform before he was elected.

I’m not impressed by a liberal or conservative supporting reform when polling shows they’d benefit from the proposed change and then immediately forget it once they’re elected w/ FPTP.

Wow imagine if he just actually kept his campaign promise

Where I am the charging infrastructure is terrible and electricity prices are bad. I was considering a hybrid but I guess if it’s no better I’ll just grab a regular ICE

Dan you sound like a rad dude ad I’d love to have a beer with you
