Nice! The world has been so shit for years now, I didn’t expect this kind of bottom-of-the-list legislation to pass until like 2056. Glad someone cares enough to sweat the small stuff. I hope the other provinces follow suit. Last I heard, Ontario was in a deadlock because NY State didn’t want to budge on it, but you know, elbows up!

Not a fan of Poilievre by any means, but I’m glad we don’t live in a world where he immediately takes the anti-trans attack angle. I won’t be surprised if he does in a few days or weeks, but I’ll take what I can get.

Fair point. Maybe you should respond with that in the public consultation!

Many areas have bandwidth up to 50Mb/s, which I think is the minimum standard the CRTC is aiming for. The useful feature of the map is the list of providers for the selected area, which is in a collapsed section below. They’re planning on updating that with the latest providers with this new decision.

Nardwuar!

Awesome! I will ship it to you tomorrow morning!

I can ship it to you if you can pay for shipping. I put it up on ebay since it makes the process easier: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/136814774452

I’m not sure if there are protests specific to each of these companies, but if you’re near one of them, it may be worth trying to start something local.

I’ve mostly been attending the protests run by Palestinian Youth Movement Toronto who had a hand in writing these reports. https://linktr.ee/pymtoronto also check out https://www.findaprotest.info/

It’s fine to call this out, but please consider judging the article on its content. Here’s an archive link: https://archive.is/2NfW7

People who care about privacy, myself included, should not shy away from the real consequences of the technology, especially when the profit motives of big tech are involved. I’d recommend listening to the podcast series in my other comment. I think there’s a lot that can be done to hold SnapChat and Meta accountable for their lax protection systems that do not require draconian anti-privacy laws. So if you care about privacy, you should at least support that approach to reducing real and devastating harm.

left wing political views like saying genocide is bad.

This feels a lot like US border patrol intimidation. Sad to see it in Canada

Yeah, it was a bit rough to get through, but I managed to get the information I needed about the candidates. I don’t think you can really blame the NDP for how it ended up. The event was run by the CLC.

The next leadership event is a debate on November 27, though it’s going to be in majority French. https://www.ndp.ca/news/canadas-ndp-announces-date-first-leadership-debate

I appreciate the philosophy recommendation especially, thanks!
