OMG, how have I have never seen this before!

Touché!

Go look for the source if that river.

Colorado? One of the bluest states in the USA?

If you asked the Canadians if they want to become US state I guarantee it would be lower

Any of the polls I’ve seen put it 13-20%.

Did I really need to put in a /s on comment on a meme post??

It seems likely that we’ll see CPC dip again, before climbing back up as we approach election day.

As long as Agent Orange down south doesn’t do anything else crazy before the election!

Okay? Still not sure what unit that is.

This sub is for Canada, where every unit of measuring length is based on the meter!

if he’s 6’ tall

Not sure what unit of measurement this is, but most reports list his height as ~186cm

IMHO, you should consider doing more troubleshooting on Kmail. I’ve never used it personally, but from my understanding, it’s a stable program and shouldn’t have problems doing the basics of email, like you’re reporting.

Increased red blood cell production is a real world example.

I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😢 😭 🥲

This is such a beautiful story.

Such crises are often used by political opportunists and large capital to usurp power and introduce more neoliberal policy favouring capital over labour.

Yes, because the current oil & gas industry is full of organized labour and Alberta is a socialist utopia! /s

If it doesn’t make economical sense, then by definition, you’re providing subsidies. Especially when you talk about infrastructure that’s supposed to be amortized over decades-and-decades, yet we are aiming to be almost free of fossil fuels in the next 5 years, and net zero in 25 years. So I really question why you’d want to subsidize Canadian consumers and businesses from “global price shocks”? That’s a stick to encourage Canadians to pursue energy independence through electrification, etc.

This take is completely nonsensical.

Fossil fuel prices in Canada can be decoupled from the global market if we really wanted to. We’d have to move to full domestic supply from extraction through refining to the pump. Then regulate the price in a supply management style. If we did that we wouldn’t have to be subject to price shocks caused by OPEC reducing supply, or remote wars breaking out.

At MUCH higher average costs, either directly or through government subsidies. There’s a few reasons we don’t have domestic processing, one of which is it doesn’t make economic sense.

Then obviously reducing consumption makes the whole problem smaller. But I don’t know if we can resolve enough by reducing consumption alone.

Then one way or another, we pay the price, either collectively or individually. I don’t know why we’d incentivize the decision to use fossil fuels, given not only their environmental impact, but also their high economic cost compared to other energy sources. Yes, there are exceptions where switching isn’t possible (yet), but that’s why we have exceptions/programs such as farm fuel (usually dyed red), the carbon-tax had a rural supplement, etc.

If you’re talking about the Taliban, I’d argue they are a full-blown military which just wasn’t attached to an internationally recognized government for ~2 decades. They had professional soldiers and equipment which would way out-class even the most intense private militia in the US.

You comment is very confusing. I understand not supporting the gun restrictions introduced in the last 5 years, but why would you oppose the buyback program? If the government makes a citizen’s property illegal to own, they should compensate the citizen.

All the data shows that law abiding gun owners aren’t much of the problem.

FTFY. Also, the issue (generally) isn’t gun owners, it’s their guns that get stolen, misused, etc.

Doubling down on this when we our sovereignty is threatented is just straight bonkers.

Irrelevant and nonsensical. Individual gun owners have no impact on preserving our sovereignty. Modern militaries are on a different level than “A well regulated Militia” or whatever other 2A BS this is.

Not sure if I wasn’t clear, but I said:

The only thing turning your phone off achieves it leaving it encrypted which (among other things) means bio-metrics won’t work.

By that I meant on boot your phone is encrypted, and bio-metrics can’t decrypt it, you need the password.

Just turn it off before going through Customs.

That’s not some sort of magic spell to protect your data. If border agents are asking to see the contents of your phone, they won’t be amused with, “it’s turned off.” The only thing turning your phone off achieves it leaving it encrypted which (among other things) means bio-metrics won’t work. Border agents can physically compel a bio-metric unlock. While they can’t force you to type your password, if you don’t comply you’ll almost certainly be banned from the country.

The only time I’ve been forced to turn on my phone/laptop was a layover in the UK.

And I’ve never been forced to show the contents of my devices on dozens and dozens of trips to the States. It doesn’t mean they won’t ask next time.

EDIT changed boarder to border.

The issue isn’t your SIM, it’s the contents of your phone. If you just swap SIMs, your phone still has all your data from when you were using your regular SIM.
