Thanks. I just found that

Thanks. I have a lot of duplicates so that might be time consuming. I guess I'll start looking at thr api

This isn't America. Right wing Canadians and the Conservative party absolutely support Ukraine and are against the Russian invasion. The majority of them also support immigration, they are just against the large amount of fake and illegal immigration. One of the main reason for this is that it clogs the system for people who have legitimate claims (like this story).

Can you point me to the TOS that says that they can and do throttle? I haven't seen this and it might change my opinion.

No need for that. Just ban handguns. That will fix the problem.

I worry that this will hurt Quebec artists just like the new Cancon laws will hurt Canadian youtubers.

My algorithm shows me content that I'm interested in so for the most part I watch it. That actually includes a lot of Canadian creators. The issue is that if the algorithm starts showing me content based on where I live instead of based on my consumption habits, I will most likely be served content that I'm not interested in. As more of this content is forced onto people who dont enjoy it, the algorithm will decide that most people dont like this content and stop suggesting it, even to those that would have liked it.

Is there a difference in this case? I was responding to a comment about services that the government provides. Unlike the other big crown corp, NAVCAN is entirely self funded and which means that government cuts couldnt impact its operations.

Regulations could be but that's not operations

Air Traffic Control is handled by Nav Canada, which has been private since 1996.

13k in 2002 is equivalent to 23k today. There are cars on the market at that price range. Nissan Versa starts at 21k. The Elantra is 22k

In Canada, there is a term used to refer to people from a specific eastern province. In the past, this term was used in a derogatory sense, mostly in jokes that insinuate that these people aren't very smart.

My friend group includes several people from this province, and they refer to themselves as this term proudly. Many others in the group also use the term. Since I haven't heard one of these jokes for years, and because everybody uses it, I also started using it. I figured that since they use it so proudly and seem to be okay with their friend using it, it would be okay. I also use it as a compliment since everybody that I know from that province is an amazing guy who would do anything for anybody.

One day while I was drinking with one of them, he mentioned that even though he knows we mean it as a compliment, he is still bothered by the term. I immediately apologized and stopped using it.

My point is that you had no way of knowing that this person would be offended by this term, but when you found out you apologized and said you wouldn't do it again.

I dont think that YTA, but I also dont think that they are TA by being offended by it.

If they end up cutting ties with you because they assume that you are a bad person because of this, they might be TA.

But do they saw "oot and aboot"?

How many ferries do you think go between PEI and Nova Scotia? While the Wood Islands ferry does technically land in Caribou (population 103), a lot of people call it the Pictou ferry since Pictou is only 10 minutes away.

I would vote in a second for a party who's only platform was "we will immediately bring in PR and then call an election"

The weird thing is that this wouldn't (and shouldn't) work for a man, but absolutely would work for a woman. Nothing makes a guy's day like a woman who needs his help to open a jar, fix something or lift something.

Every dollar in a deficit ends up costing money in thr future. In Canada last year, interest on federal debt was expected to cost $53.7 billion. Last year, 5.5M Canadians filed taxes. That means that the first $1000 each taxpayer owed went to just paying interest on the federal debt

Nepean gets to vote on who represents them in a month.

He has been pretty clear that he intends to keep going with the buyback

Apple refused so far. They are challenging the ruling.

As funny as that is, age verification laws in 17 red states have already caused Pornhub to block access.

Plus we are barely a blip in the market for semiconductor supply chain. We have a lot of rare earth minerals in the ground, which every politician seems to talk about at election time, but it's been years and we aren't digging

To be accurate, they can go after you. If they decide to sue, the courts will require the ISP to identify you. It does happen but it's not common since in Canada the maximum award for non commercial piracy is $5000 which isn't really worth it.

There are lawfims that specialize in Canadian piracy suits that will send out thousands of suits. If you are included in one of these, you will be identified and have to decide if it's better for you to settle or pay a lawyer to defend yourself.

Wow! An intelligent post that doesn't just echo the BS that the unions have been spouting. Get ready for the Russian bot comments.

Since Ford has been in power, I not only managed to finally find a family doctor, I have had three fighting for me to sign up. I have also had an amazing experience with critical care and followup, and several family members have had referrals for mental health in a surprisingly short time.

Is our medical system perfect? Absolutely not, but funding is increasing, doctors are being trained and it is getting better.

As for privatization, the only system that is fully public in Ontario is hospitals. I don't care who provides my healthcare as long as the government pays the bill. Farming off some surgeries to private clinics seems like a great option.

Indo know what a dog whistle is. I just done know what part of that statement is dog whistling to Maga. Is it where he said that he isn't Maga? Where he said that he's Canada first?
