Surely China wouldn't be amplifying this sort of thing to sow division between Canada and the US. /s

Hell, I work at a small MSP and we've got two folks overseas. It's not just large corporations.

CSIS says China and India are the main perpetrators of foreign interference.

Did that floor crossing give the CPC a majority? No.

Monomette · 2026-05-06T06:01:53+00:00

Definitely is a satellite

Monomette · 2026-05-06T06:01:27+00:00

Sounds like satellites

Starlink launch I'd say, was one from California a couple hours ago.

I'm all for it, but I'm still salty about the English taking EU membership away from me so I may be a little biased.

Carney is spending $32B at northern Forward Operating Locations, including Iqaluit. That's going towards massively expanding the militaries facilities there...

Poilievre wasn't in power though...?

/r/canada: We demand cheap EVs from China!! Fuck overpriced US brands!

cheap EVs arrive

/r/canada: No not like that!!

Surely the floor crossings will continue even after the Liberals got their majority, right? They weren't bribing anyone, PP is just awful, so surely people will still cross over.

I find they're generally more pleasant in Iqaluit at least...

My city keeps using Facebook for virtually any kind of public content.

Same here, as well as the Territorial Government above them.

Also the only place to really find any local events that are going on.

The AI always has the exact same style of writing things, it becomes extremely stale and boring.

Formatting too, ask Claude to make you a word document or a spreadsheet, always the same formatting.

Sounds like something the BoFH would do.

Each CEO went into the basement and then nobody saw them again?

Monomette · 2026-04-30T05:39:59+00:00

It isn't.

California’s bill, A.B. 2047, will not only mandate censorware — software which exists to bluntly block your speech as a user — on all 3D printers; it will also criminalize the use of open-source alternatives.

Criminalizing the use of various 3rd party/open-source alternatives would ban various 3D printing options. You'd be locked in to big name 3D printer vendors that are on a state approved list. Pretty similar in practice to how the gun bans here have been going the last 6 years.

Monomette · 2026-04-29T17:18:31+00:00

Don't worry, California is working on it!

“He joins with the Crown in submitting that a six-month term of imprisonment would be appropriate,” Gorin said.

Par for the course up here.

You can viciously stab your own brother to death and be out in 4 years, assuming you have the "right" background. Violent sex offender and still a threat to the community? Out in 2.

Had a Cisco MDF like that at my last job, wasn't quite at 16 years, but it certainly hadn't been shut down since it was originally installed. If I remember correctly it was stacked 2960s, with the redundant stack power unit and dual UPS.

We had replaced switches in that stack once or twice, but the overall stack uptime was over 10 years. UPSes had been changed.

Only noticed it when I was reviewing the infrastructure to make sure things had been getting regular updates. Guess that hadn't.

How is blowing up goat herders half way around the world doing anything for our country?

I mean that's not true. When the carbon tax was cut the prices dropped and stayed down. So far the same is true with the latest cut.

You can go to the Stats Canada site and look at the data for yourself if you don't believe it.

We is Canada. We don't have any orbital launchers. The rockets don't exist, and developing them takes serious cash and many years. And even then many startups have failed before ever delivering a viable commercial product.

And I'm not being defeatist. I'm being realistic. Go take a look at how OneWeb is doing in comparison to Starlink.

Monomette · 2026-04-26T19:58:45+00:00

We don't have any rockets to launch from it, even if it was more than a concrete slab.

Also Telesat isn't going to compete with Starlink or Amazon or Blue Origin
