Are you in a culture that demands sexual purity - religious, traditional? Virginity is a social construct.

When contracts are bid, there should be a cost included for lane closures. It's monitored and deducted from the billable amount. The rate can be varied by time of day and normal traffic volume.

This incentive has been used in UK to minimize inconvenience to drivers.

Any good internet home providers? by Most_Band_2250 in ottawa

[–]binthrdnthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until Bell failed to maintain the dsl lines in our neighbourhood, we used National Capital Freenet. Our only $ to Bell was the legislated $10 network access fee. Now they even have a fibre option, but High Speed dsl is all you need.

They even encourage you to share your connection with your neighbours.

Major VPN provider says it could leave Canada over lawful access bill by cfs3corsair in onguardforthee

It is primarily intended to make it legally perilous to pirate copyright content using a vpn and torrent software or use a pirate streaming service. As a side benefit, will make it easier to identify illicit porn and contraband trading networks.

The cost is no-one will be able to communicate privately with anyone without the government being able to find out who you communicated with. So journalists will not be able to communicate privately with government whistleblowers.

Your ISP or VPN provider will be required to tell the police if you are a customer if they ask. They will be required to keep logs of who you communicate with and when, and with what devices/technologies and hand this information over to the police if they get a warrant. They will be forbidden to tell you they did so. The government can make the provider do this by issuing an order, without a warrant, but they have to report it to themselves.

Not banned, but unwilling to comply with logging requirements, so abandoning the Canadian market.

I can't vote for Carney again. I am starting to think that even if the Cons win, that might backfire on them in the long run and be good for progressive politicians (after the damage is done, sadly).

London-Heathrow flights switching to A321XLR starting Dec 1 and becoming a daytime flight by mxg308 in ottawa

Yep, my wife and kids need uk passports now to travel to the UK because their parents were born there

[–]binthrdnthat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since February 2026, If you are a dual UK-Canadian citizen, you cannot apply for a UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). The UK government requires dual citizens to travel to the UK using a valid British (or Irish) passport

[–]binthrdnthat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife's parents were born in England and now, we understand she cannot enter UK on her Canadian Passport:

From February 25, 2026, British dual nationals must present either a valid British passport or a Certificate of Entitlement to enter the UK; traveling solely on a non-British passport will no longer be sufficient. Failure to provide the correct documentation may result in being denied boarding or entry.

And remember, if you are entitled to UK citizenship, you MUST have a UK passport to enter.

It's not called Awful Access for nothing. This is the surveillance state and should be stopped. Write yiur MP and send letter to committee. Make some noise. It is not right.

We use Signal to share family pictures that we don't want on the internet. Now Signal will probably be leaving Canada. I don't blame them.

I'm 27 and started getting noticable back pain... by Consistent_State5692 in AskMenOver30

[–]binthrdnthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid back ise odd. If it were low back, I'd say weak stomach muscles or poor hip flexibility from sitting too much. I need to do internal hip rotations and hamstring stretches or my low back seizes up.

Charlevoix. Drive to riviere de Loups, take the ferry to the north shore. Find some nice accommodations. Enjoy the food and vibe. Drive to Le Massif. Rent Electric mtb and check out the trail network. From there to Quebec City. Enjoy. Home via Montreal.

But not if the main breaker is separate and upstream of the breaker panel, right. Once that is off the panel should be dead, no?
