And I suppose you might want to add public consensus as well.

I for one believe Canada should look to expand its energy sector, but within the scope of renewables and alternative power sources. Looking at wind, solar, thermal, wave and tidal energy.

For one it would make out countries grid more resilient in the long run for a multitude of reasons.

And this is my point actually, what are they trying to ban, is it the use of a VPN completely, or is it for only VPN that spoof locations out of country. (Which is what allows someone to circumvent the age-id, at the moment.)

Now that being said I work with people in the UK and they VPN into our office for network access and project file access. Does anyone see how this could impact access for Brits working with global firms for example?

Though a VPN does not provide you with guaranteed anonymity, it only allows you to access webpages and local services as if you were at that physical location, or on that specific network.

Connecting to your work office VPN and browsing Facebook does not make you anonymous, it’s just makes you look like you are sitting in the office.

How can you ban a VPN (virtual private network)?

I have a VPN setup at home and at my parents home, I can connect either as if I was at either location physically. My office has VPNs for connecting between offices and connecting from remote locations. And dont get me started about being and to purchase a VPS in any country you want, and run a VPN on it.

Does this mean people and companies can no longer setup their own VPN’s.

If this is about privacy and anonymity, evey bowsers on any device has a unique identifying fingerprint that allows it to be identifiable even using a VPN. So what is this ban even targeting?

The Hidden Tracking Method Your VPN Can’t Block - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJOpHSPkWMo

Last year the Province passed Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, which sought to remove 19 kilometres of Toronto’s protected bike lanes.

Together, we fought back and won.

But the court decision did not stop the Province from blocking new bike lanes. And now it is trying to do exactly that with Bill 60, Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act.

Bill 212 at least pretended it would set criteria for new bike lanes. Bill 60 drops the pretense. It lets the Province ban any reduction of motor vehicle lanes, and the wording is so broad that it will not just impact bike lanes but also affect bus priority lanes, patios, school streets, and other street improvements that rely on reallocating space. This isn’t just about settling grudges against Toronto. The consequences will be felt across Ontario.

Now the province intends to skip committee and rush the legislation through without hearing from feedback from the public.

Pretty much, BTW you also want to disable WiFi and Bluetooth when entering big box stores.

They are notorious for tracking your phone, and by extension you and your shopping habbits when you step into one if their stores.

I truly believe our politicians are out of touch. Either because they themselves are too old or because they dont understand the underlying concepts.

What truly upsets me is understanding things like USBs and HDDs still exists. So if someone wanted to share “illegal content” completely “offline” it’s already possible to do so. How does scanning everyone’s personal “letters” help track down people sharing “illegal content” hand to hand.

But how do you ban VPN’s? Like am I not going to be able to remote into work or the office? Or will I now not be able to connect into my own private VPN that I run at home.

I don’t understand how this keeps coming up.

Do we need to go back to physical written letters?! Or do governments want access to all our correspondence both physical and digital.

We need a federal inquiry into any foreign investment and influence within Canada.

I understand globalization is an advantage and benefit, we just need to make sure those foreign investments make it back into investing into Canada and Canadian people, not just leaching off of Canadians.

If this is the case then I agree with pulling it off the shelf. Thank you for clarifying this point.

I don’t understand why simply future stock was just not cancelled along with any current shipments, letting current remaining stock just “dry up” and not get restocked.

The public could have even bought the remaining stock and just poured it out while capturing it in a TickTok video.

It seems like such a waste of time and resources to “pull items off the shelf” for a business. You need to pay staff to take it off the shelf, pack it up, and then take time and effort to truck it back somewhere. Adding to all this transportation costs and the pulling it off a truck and restocking it somewhere. And now storage costs as well…

The stock was already paid for by the LCBO if I am not missing something blatantly obvious. The LCBO now has a quantity of already purchased stock they can’t sell, and paying storage costs for.

Second hand sales and flee markets, no cameras (mostly true) and you can pay cash.

Strange, I don’t seem to be paying anything at the moment. I wonder who’s really paying the bill? The American public you say?

That depends where your VPN is.

Say you access a VPN located over seas from your phone while on mobile data. Then your traffic is encrypted and your mobile data provider (for your phone) should only see traffic to one IP address.

Say you access the same VPN while at home connect to wifi or Ethernet on a PC (or on your phone), then your ISP should only see traffic to the one IP address (that’s located over seas).

Now let’s say your are tech savvy enough to run a Wireguard setup and or Tailscale setup at home and make your own VPN. Then you access that from work or from overseas with a mobile phone or laptop. All your traffic should now show as connecting to your homes IP address directly, but keep in mind your home ISP provider then sees you connecting to sites like Google, Facebook, or Lemmy.

If you don’t believe in things like vaccination, masks, and germs, then you should not believe in things like hospitals or healthcare.
