While the party make-up and views were pretty similar, Harper ruled the party with a pretty firm hand. Even though many of the religious-right wanted socially conservative policies, he generally didn't let them question things like abortion. I'm not sure Poilievre has the same control over the party.

People from rural areas don't drive to Toronto very often. It's the drivers from the suburbs that you're thinking of.

This is definitely wrong. For example, I know Canada has reactors under construction: https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1002543/ontario-breaks-ground-on-world-leading-small-modular-reactor

That's not what the polls said at all.

I support this move, but a change.org petition isn't the way to go. Get an MP to submit an official petition to www.ourcommons.ca

It's a feature of TikTok where you can put your video side-by-side with some else's video. This seems like a decent explanation.

Carrier lock is on the phone, not the network. You need to enter a code to disable it. There are 3rd party services that you give your IMEI and pay, and they have a way of finding the code. I'm not certain on the details.

I'm in total agreement with you about supporting bike lanes, I'm just pointing out the fallacy of saying, "We can't afford to build rail."

I hate this and a lot of other decisions the Ford gouvernement has made, but they also greenlit the biggest expansion of GO Transit ever. Plus, a ton of other public transit projects.

It's not a hardware compatibility problem for you or people who have reasonably new computers. However, for the last decade or so, computers have kind of stagnated and old computers are still very functional, something I couldn't have said a decade or two ago.

I'm typing this on a ThinkPad x201 which was released in 2010. TBF, I've updated it as much as I can (8GB of RAM and an SSD), it's running Linux Mint because Windows drags, and even then it's getting tired.

My Spouse's laptop is an Acer with a 5th gen i3. A couple years ago, she was complaining it was getting a bit slow, so I threw an SSD in it and now she's happy with how it runs Windows 10, and I'm sure it would run Windows 11 fine if a TPM2.0 chip wasn't required.

It's forced obsolesces for a hardware requirement most home users are never going to use.

There was a few months where Wikipedia was reverted to a very old version as newer versions didn't meet their build standards. That has since been fixed.

This is talking about carrier locked phones, not locked bootloaders.

Or wire in another router, and use the WiFi on that. It's not great, with the double-NAT (most of Rogers routers are buggy in bridge-mode), but IMHO, it's better than using their WiFi.

FTA:

The result was what the Hansons would later summarize in their United States patent request as a “protective helmet cap” with “a durable energy absorbing outer shell, which lessens the initial impact to the helmet … [and] an inner surface that allows the outer shell to slide over the surface of a helmet thereby reducing forces applied to a wearer.”

and

They also shelled out for additional outside testing to ensure that the caps wouldn’t affect neck torque and that they maintained a lower coefficient of friction relative to the usual football helmet’s polycarbonate shell, to ensure that crucial “sliding” effect.

So it looks like they've already though through that. Not saying it's impossible that a bad incident will be blamed on the Guardian, but it looks like they've done the necessary research.

I also work with Canadian companies, mainly on their taxes where it's almost exclusively Tax Year 2025, Fiscal Year 2025, etc.

The idea that Nazi sympathisers were a fringe group is an vast oversimplification of history. Yes, America chose to fight against the Nazis, but there were huge racist/eugenist movements at the time that included high-ranking politicians and military personnel. Look up the America First movement for just one example.

I first learned about this from the podcast ULTRA. I kept having to check their sources and do further research, because what they said sounded so wild that I felt I should have already known it. Instead it's just another example of people not wanting to teach their uncomfortable history like the Tulsa race massacre, Indian residential schools in the US and Canada, the Tuskegee syphilis study, etc, etc, etc.

Also, I'd suggest you learn about the history of Nazi Germay. The Nazis weren't this huge supermajority of the German population, they just had people in the right positions, took power by force, and the populace went along with it. It's not hard to see parallels with a lot of events in US history where if things went just a bit different the USA could have become a racist, authoritarian state.

Some do those split years, but I suspect you've seen many more that are just listed as the calendar year they end in, and you've just never noticed.

That's a defining feature of brain dead. Otherwise, they're just dead.

Mine updated just fine, so you're almost certainly experiencing a network/routing issue. I'd suggest you make sure your phone can ping/traceroute the repo and troubleshoot from there.

Given how long this has gone on now, it’d probably be best to inform your community that you’ll be removing BLOBs from the source and for them to be produced during build otherwise this shadow is going to remain.

Many of the BLOBs are essential to allow Ventoy to work with Secure Boot. They are compiled and signed by Fedora and OpenSUSE. They definitely need to be better documented, but they aren't reproduceable for good reason.
