Just an anecdote, I would LOVE for ffmpeg to have a GUI.

Yeah that's my problem with this. The laws definitely can be abused. You think you can trust the government, but can you trust the police? Because in the end, they're the ones who will be doing the abuse.

And if you eventually don't like the government that's in power, and want to protest and act against it, that's when these laws turn against you.

We definitely should not sacrifice our privacy, rights, and freedoms in exchange for security. We learned that in 2001 after 9/11 and we shouldn't make the same mistake again just to make Trump happy.

Ah there we go. Now I understand what you mean. Thank you!

As far as postal stuff goes, don't they only have the right to open packages, but not letters? And I don't think they have the right to get all our digital personal information either. At least not like they do in the U.S. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The “unreasonable” part of Section 8 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is what protects us, but that doesn’t apply if you’re under investigation for crimes and stuff like a computer needs to be accessed as part of that investigation.

It does apply. A warrant is required for confiscating and searching mail and computer equipment. It sounds here like it won't be required.

I will repeat that the Canadian Government isn’t spewing the same vitriol against immigrants as the American Government, so neither the wording nor the content of the bill suggests some military backed deportation scheme.

Maybe not, but it lays the ground for it though.

In any case, as the guy mentioned, the bill isn't ALL bad. But there are some sections that can be worrisome and prone to exploitation.

I went to Toronto last week for the first time since 2012. There are a LOT more cyclists on the road. Especially on rent-a-bikes. It's incredible how the city changed in that way.

I don't understand. Prove what? It's a bill. It's not passed into law yet. He's explaining how, if voted into law, these could be applied.

Like the opening and searching of your mail and your personal electronic data without a warrant.

That breaks article 8 of the charter of rights and freedoms.

8. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.

Or deporting asylum seekers just because they've been in the country for a year on a visa. As written in the bill, if someone's been in Canada for a year ans a war breaks out in their country, they'd get deported without any question.

I don't know why you're asking for proof. Do you not understand English?

The guy in the video makes some very good points though, don't you think? If this bill gets voted into law, it only takes on bad agent or bad government to exploit those laws against the people.

I'd like to hear your arguments in defense of Israel, a colony born out of an religious ideology in the early 20th century, that anyone with a certain faith, regardless of ethnicity, has historical rights to a land they, or their ancestors, never lived on.

From what I understand, they are using something like a pixel with associated JS code on a website to ring up their respective apps on localhost on the device to share browsing history.

So if you're using uBlock and Privacy Badger which block these things, I think you shold be ok, yes?

No. Because Russia and China have been there practically forever. It wasn't created just a century ago by killing and destroying an existing nation based on a crooked ethno-fascist ideology.

What the hell? What's in there??? I haven't clicked the links yet.

Kubuntu would run just fine on that machine.

It's a way to stop the oppression in the entire region in general. Including Lebanon and Syria. And stabilizing the region entirely.

Israel never was a legitimate country to begin with. It was founded on genocide. And recent actions from their government and its zionist zealots have further deligitimized it.

Besides, you can't have a true democracy if you're going to be a theo / ethno nationalist country.

YEAH!!! Finally!!!

Are they going to be able to sponsor the canadian Olympics and provide the gear?

Wasn't Canadian Tire talking about selling part of its brands to an American company fairly recently?

Ça serai cool si tu pouvais aussi publier dans /c/canada_francais.

Je dis ça de même mais il n'y a pas de trouble si ça ne te tente pas non plus.

Exactly. Get someone that catches people's interest. Then the news will be all over them.

Wow that's amazing! Sad at the same time because of the exploitation, but still. It's pretty awesome you got to witness this.

I thought it was a new window manager lol

I'm pretty excited about this.

Man, how old are you?

And I'm sorry for what your family went through.

Still playing the Trump playbook I see.
