Oh, good, more uses of the OIC instead of proper legislation.

Matt Hatfield, executive director of the non-profit advocacy group OpenMedia, suggests the telecoms may be refusing to fold because even if they lose the battle, they will still have made money during the period they were able to charge the fees.

“Over that time, they will collect more revenue than what they expect they’ll be fined,” he said. “So it’s in their financial interest to do it.”

We need a law that automatically increases a fine to include all revenue earned directly or indirectly with proof of connection to the violation.

Fines being a cost-of-business is nothing more than flagrant disregard for the just rule of law.

Israel will just launch a campaign through proxy groups and bought politicians calling out Indigenous genocide, then label everyone involved as anti-Semitic terrorists before pushing to curb our protest and free speech some more.

That would require them to accept they’ve wasted their lives waiting patiently for a reward that will never come and that they’re actually responsible for their own actions.

Strangling Golden Geese is fun when you don’t bear any of the consequences of it yourself; just move onto the next thing that hasn’t been depleted and suck it dry!

They have had every opportunity to outright ban firearms via Act of Parliament, but didn’t. Why is that? They still went ahead with the OIC, but when they passed C-21, did they ban firearms? No, they just made up more rules to de-facto ban new ones, and that didn’t even work because “new” semi-auto rifles have recently entered the market as non-restricted like the IWI Carmel and the Makasi.

That was all done under the Trudeau admin, but Carney’s government didn’t even hold debates for their assault on strong cryptography, so they could’ve banned them at any time before leaving for summer break, but they didn’t. Why?

If it’s really such a problem, why can’t they do things the legally appropriate way and come right out to ban all firearms?

These people can’t conceive the idea that people own firearms safely, and will do anything to bury their heads in the sand.

They don’t understand that this is ultimately an erosion of property rights and the just rule of law, and they don’t want to. It’ll only be when something they love is arbitrarily banned without justification or compensation that they’ll finally realize it wasn’t really about the guns.

That’s why they’re running around down voting all of our posts like the mature adults they are.

I can’t wait for the government to announce a ban on ICE vehicles and only offer $2 in compensation to the first unlucky sucker who finds out that the FOMO money pool wasn’t big enough to provide fair market value for their once-lawfully owned property.

They can’t argue without demanding we fuck off to a foreign nation or without churlish mockery.

Edit: It only took 4 minutes for those down votes! 🙄

LastPass has been hacked so many times, I genuinely have no idea how they’re still in business.

It’s factually untrue, which is what makes it bullshit.

Yes, I know it’s the Toronto Sun, but there are multiple sources for this out there.

Many police services came out to contest this “buyback” saying it would do nothing to help, and that the money should be spent on border enforcement.

How many x-ray scanners could we have installed at the border for $750 million?

This is bullshit astroturfing from the Liberal government trying to twist gun crime statistics to fit their narrative in preparation for the Supreme Court case regarding their use of the Order-in-Council power to ban firearms.

They’ve decided to generously (read: absurdly) redefine what it means for a gun to be involved in crime.

If a lawfully owned firearm is recovered from a crime scene, even if that firearm was sitting in a safe unrelated to the crime, it’s still counted in their new interpretation of the existing statistics.

Most gun crime in Canada that meets the sensible and reasonable definition is committed with illegally smuggled firearms, no matter what special interest groups like PolySeSouvient would happily lie to get you to believe.

This story was posted days ago and it’s just people whining about falling for the test scam, rather than accepting that it was a well-executed check on people’s knowledge and adherence to good cybersecurity practices.

You can get the prescription for weight loss in Canada, especially if your current weight puts you at risk. I already know a few people taking the generic for this purpose. Insurance companies are the ones that refuse to provide coverage for anything other than diabetes treatment.

Scammers are literally looking for effective ways to get you to read and click without looking and this was a perfectly valid thing to do, as much as it might suck.

I once had a test email come in…that was signed with a valid internal cert for our network which I immediately pointed out to them when they tried to bother me about it.

So, unless it was one of those sort of situations, I don’t have much sympathy.

Healthcare providers are some of the juiciest targets for ransomware, and unless they’re all going to stop using email, they need to be careful about shit like this.

AI has made it terrifyingly easy to put together clone-correct pages that survive more than casual scrutiny, so expect more scams that look legit.

Why do you think they want to backdoor all encryption? Can’t organize if they know who’s talking about what.

This government has already shown they don’t care about evidence, the environment, property rights, freedom of expression, freedom of protest, and the list goes on.

It’s time for a general strike until all of this fascist bullshit is repealed and these people step down from office.

And they’ll collect a small fee for each one, profiting off an arms race to rig the election.

Wrote my MP, thanks for the link

He would never do that! His party says Liberal on its flag, that means he’s Liberal.

The current directory is what makes this a masterpiece.

It’s already happening. Google’s device attestation means that apps can insist you run a signed OS (signed by Google, or an authorized partner) or refuse to work. I use GrapheneOS and because of this, I can’t tap to pay or use my phone as a car key. No chance they’ll ever allow GrapheneOS to join that program because it undermines their data collection and control.
