You won't even notice when it's done right. We're still in early days at the moment where you can actually tell.

You have fun checking the fine print on every future game just to make sure they haven't used it.

Western car companies are not beholden to western governments in the same way that companies in China are. We have laws against government intervention like that here, while China explicitly mandates the opposite.

Sure laws can change, but right now the situation is extremely clear in terms of who we should trust.

While we're at it, we should also go after all the car companies for putting so many horse stables out of business. IBM for putting computers (this was a job title for humans before it was done by machine) out of jobs.

and a million other situations where technology has replaced a particular type of worker

That may actually be against the rules for Conveyancers depending on where you live, find out if your conveyancer is part of a legal body (registered in some way as a conveyancer) and make an inquiry/complaint there.

In case you hadn't noticed, Chinese devices are frequently banned in Canada, especially for government use.

Chinese gear in telecom networks is either not allowed or being phased out. Chinese cellphones are not allowed for government use. Chinese apps are not allowed on government machines.

I do believe cars are a meaningful attack vector, with enough market penetration the ability to just "turn them off" could cripple the country, and there's not much point in letting them in if we limit the percentage down to something that would lessen the impact.

Welcome

It's not about being competitive against Chinese EVs, it's about preventing China from attacking us economically, politically, and potentially even digitally.

These aren't just dumb vehicles, they're running Chinese made software, for a Chinese company, and reporting data back to China.

They're not just manufactured in China like you may have with other digital devices, with the software control and data residing in more friendly nations.

That matters.

The US government, that's how import tariffs work.

Compromise on what? You haven't even told us what they're really for you dumb shit.

It's clearly not a compromise on the fentanyl situation, and you haven't talked about anything else that we've changed.

Are you just compromising on your own?

Do they not teach you in school that Canada was the reason for the Geneva convention?

And not in the "we thought it was a good set of rules" kinda way.

Why you gotta be pissing off your friends America?

What the fuck did we do to you?

Now we have to be mean back, and that's not good for either of us.

"any good"

"Considering the fact the doing good will not earn you anything in anyway"

This simply isn't an accurate statement.

I treat my co-workers well, help them out, and one of them bought me a pin that says "Hello, My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!!!" because they know I like that movie.

I help people, people help me. Do they sometimes not help me, sure, but on balance everyone is better off for helping. It's not a zero sum game.

I felt both of them on the island, the one this morning woke me up

There's zero chance this catches on, nobody wants to get rid of a camera bump badly enough to carry around a second device.

Technically bows are also generally more quiet, but that's a very small point most of the time.

Because the two countries have been attacking each other economically, politically, intellectually, and digitally for decades now.

Just because people aren't shooting guns at each other doesn't mean a war isn't happening.

The US is also at war with China.

It wouldn't work with the ndp at all. The bq might with exactly the right set of accommodations, but you're right it will be tenuous

These mother fuckers never learn.

Not really how our monkey brains work generally. We're biologically programmed to do lots of things, like want to have babies (or at least sex and not be smart about it) and to take care of them. Not everyone does a good job, but historically speaking it's led to a population of a few hundred people turning into a few billion.
