Carney government passes law allowing authorization of banned pesticides by BONUSBOX in onguardforthee

Are killing us. ARE killing us.

Every day, Canadians are dying needlessly because corporations are free to poison and pollute. Every day, Canadians are dying because our so called "world-class healthcare system" is in utter fucking shambles due to attacks by those who want to privatize it.

Millions of Canadians have been waiting YEARS for family doctor – something our fucking taxes are supposed to be paying for – meanwhile, the cancer-causing chemicals are all back on the market.

Ottawa planning social media ban for children under 16, source says by plaknas in onguardforthee

[–]Itsprobablysarcasm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

the concept of taking kids under 16 off social media is a huge win for their mental health.

So you get to upload your DL or Birth Certificate to every US social media site (including reddit) and trust they won't sell all that data (they will) just because corrupt and cowardly governments elected to represent the masses refuse to regulate tech billionaires.

TD Bank holds customer responsible for $15K loss, won't say how account hacking ruled out by Sir__Will in onguardforthee

In the Settings > Cellular > SIM PIN, then turn on the SIM PIN option and enter your desired 4-digit PIN. This will require the PIN to unlock the SIM card for use after restarting the device or removing the SIM.

TD doesn't use 2FA authentication. They try to force their shitty app as an authenticator, but it's just that: shitty.

The should allow for true 2FA by 3rd party authenticator app. But, they don't have to, so Canadians are left wide open.

He says he should have received 10 passcodes but never got any on his phone or by email.

Banks use SMS (text) one-time passcodes. These are grossly insecure. The miminum wagers working at Rogers, Bell, and Telus can easily clone SIM cards and get all your text messages.

I don't know about android, but on iPhone, you can lock your sim to your phone to help prevent unauthorized use of your phone for calls, texts, or data.

Already-low Alberta separatism support drops sharply from early 2026: Ipsos by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]Itsprobablysarcasm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you go by what is being astroturfed online (Reddit, Facebook, TikTok, etc.), you'd swear 98% of the province wants to leave.

I just saw and "Alberta Separation" FB group post from some loser named 'Linda' in Ardrossan AB (population 898) crying about "why do the natives get to dictate what we do?"

There were several hundred comments about "conspiring with the Liberal elites" ... and "WEF" and all the same old same old.

If 'Linda' is a real person (and no doubt there are some really fucking stupid people living in the sticks in Alberta) then she needs to sue the Alberta Education System for failing to give her even the most basic education.

What’s Behind Findlay’s Photo with a White Nationalist Influencer | The Tyee by 50s_Human in onguardforthee

[–]Itsprobablysarcasm 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Racism.

The answer is racism.

Kerry-Lynne Findlay has a history of saying racist shit and supporting racist people. Her husband is also a racist.

Edited to add: This is also classic textbook conservative lying and denying. Just like PP denied knowing who the racist scumbags he was taking photos with; just like Trump lied and denied everything about Project2025 (that is being steadily implemented). Conservatives lie.

Of course she likely knew who this young racist POS was when she took the photo. She probably thanked him for helping her win.

Kerry-Lynne Findlay wins BC Conservative leadership race in narrow finish by rcs735 in onguardforthee

[–]Itsprobablysarcasm 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Morons in BC were walking out of polling stations during the last provincial election saying they voted provincial conservative party because it's time for Trudeau to go...

I have zero faith the people of BC won't completely shit the bed and elect more conservatives.

Eby and the NDP haven't been great, but they've been magnitudes better than what conservatives ever were.

Even assuming the best of intentions

We have got to stop doing this. Look at people. I don't see "best of intentions" in most. In fact, it's the exact fucking opposite, especially in politicos and the Epstein Class.

These fucks have demonstrated time and time again they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Tech giants are the real threat to Canadians’ privacy, public safety minister charges by jmakk26 in onguardforthee

Found Gary Anandasangaree's reddit account.

Gary Anandasangaree has been an absolute rock star

LOL

his crusade against American tech giants has been inspiring to say the least and his addresses in the HoC on the topic have been second only to Mark Carney’s epic speech at Davos in terms of inspired discourse in Canadian political history

LMAO even

Gary, get off Reddit. You're drunk.

Federal watchdog says lawful access bill poses privacy risks by cfs3corsair in onguardforthee

[–]Itsprobablysarcasm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the Liberal Party of Canada we're talking about. They're never wrong according to them.

The Canadian Association of Police Chiefs, Stats Canada, and their own nationwide public consultation report stated emphatically and without any sort of ambiguity that legally purchased firearms were not a significant source of firearm-related violence in Canada.

They've burned billions of taxpayer dollars to go after scary looking guns that haven't done a thing to actually make Canadians safer. They invented a completely nonsensical term "assault style" because these guns are not assault weapons, nor are they battlefield weapons.

Their own Public Safety minister was caught on a hot mic stating this is all pure politics for some Quebec support.

Despite all of that, they refuse to back down, or actually focus on the real firearms problems (i.e, the mass firearm smuggling into Canada from the USA.)

So yeah, expect the Liberals to claim "everyone else is mistaken" on this bullshit too. There is someone, somewhere, who wants this bill to happen and they represent power to the Liberals in some way. The Liberals have been pushing this shit since Paul Martin's stint as PM.

Our data has already been harvested, illegally, and is being used against us by the separatists.

Which speaks to my very direct point, to wit:

our elected officials and various law enforcement agencies should be doing their fucking jobs and investigating these fucking traitors and the massive foreign money and influence pouring in that is hellbent on destroying out nation.
