  • Sooo, I guess Canada really just wants to get railed by a bunch of rich pricks. Even across age, education and social class the CPC is the preferred party, with the only disparity being between women and men. I am no expert on women but I can tell you for sure that most men have tribe-brain and Poilievre knows it.

  • Metrolinx said owners are compensated at fair market value for properties, based on appraisals conducted by external accredited appraisers.

    That's not how that works. They are not selling their homes by choice, they are being forced out. Metrolinx owes them the maximum possible value for the properties as without them the project can not be completed.

    Not to mention there are technological answers to this problem. They can lower the line, move it towards the center of the road surface, use a more expensive process that reinforces the tunnel more as it is bored or just pay for any fucking damage they do to the existing houses if and when it occurs.

  • Just ban them all together. They are a combination human rights violation, environmental disaster and disease factory.

  • If it can be removed. Car electronics are as integrated as your phone removing or disabling individual parts can totally fubar the car. Canada (and the rest of the world) needs to set some seriously harsh standards for vehicles and digital privacy.

  • I don't even want cars made in America.

    New cars have an internet connection and GPS now, even if it is not exposed to the driver it is there.

    New cars have one of those fucking touch screens in the dash leaving many of the features of your car held hostage by the lowest-bidder firmware that will never get an update and can not be replaced. That lowest-bidder firmware is also insecure, exposing your movement and vehicle features (engine control, transmission control, body control, climate control, locks, steering, braking, and the radio) to whoever happens to take the time to break it. When Dodge got owned a few year ago the problem was so big that they only way to prevent bad actors from owning cars was to block all traffic to the vehicles externally, the cars could not be made secure on their own.

    New cars have horrible physical security as well, using the same CAN bus to operate exterior lights and unlock the fucking doors. They are vulnerable to replay/relay attacks which are possible with $50 off the shelf hardware. A lot of cars even let you program a band new fob with bluetooth, so for under 100 bucks someone can just drive away with your $60k phone on wheels.

    Before we start deciding which country has the best cars how about we set some strong standards for the quality of all vehicles on Canadian roads?

  • That's EVERY car now. Even if it is not enabled for the owner the hardware and software is present.

  • The screenshot is a little lackluster but the video below shows it off better. The camera is an APSC sensor but the picture fills a full frame with very little vignetting. Up to 100x it looks pretty good but yeah, the DoF is literally micrometers thick.

  • I love to cycle both on and off road but there is a very specific type of rider who likes to ride 3 wide on a 2 lane road in an 80 zone. Just why?

  • Good. The economy needs to pay the most it can bear for labour. We pay the most we can bear for goods and services.

  • Demonstrating the absolute uselessness of voting in Canada. Any vote that isn't in direct opposition the party you don't want is for them.

  • You don't like their burned tap water and previously frozen carb pucks?

  • Everything bad is their fault, everything good is [god/political party/your racial group]'s fault.

  • King of the Hill covered a bunch of stuff, like LGBTQ+ issues, gender equality, drug abuse, corporate greenwashing, and at least a dozen others I can't recall off the top of my head. Mike Judge explored a lot of liberal ideas using a very conservative friendly show.

  • Which one is competent enough to start digging us out of this hole?

  • Time for a traditional 'French Election.'

  • None of our two and a half parties have any interest in changing Canada. We are a country that exists almost entirely to benefit corporate interests, both local and international.

  • Between Futurama and King Of The Hill, all of modern day life was predicted.
