Why gratis and not libre?

or does anon not know the difference between free and free?

Not one mention of free software… weird

My totally uneducated gut feeling is that germans are pretty good at building submarines…

Other than snow and hockey, we are definitely not like the nordic countries… at least not anymore…

Canadians still living off our 90s reputation as global leaders in peacekeeping, environmentalism, and tech. Democratic socialism is gone, and we are pretty much america lite since the last 20 years.

We take all the shit ideas from the US by osmosis, but none of the good ideas. We sell out our land and our people to foreign corporations instead of building up the nation the way norway does with their fossil fuels industry.

I havent followed any of this in detail. I assume neither option is nuclear powered

Whats the 2026 take on nuclear subs given the cost of oil these days?

People didn’t pay for news before the super rich controlled the media

where did people get all this free news from before? Internet blogs dont count as news…

Reputable news outlet revenue was always a mix of subscription and ads… i’m talking physical newspapets here… then with the internet, people stopped paying those subscriptions and news was funded by just ads, which wasnt sustainable… so now we have ads and billionaires funding the news.

i’m not sure what you mean “this is a new phenomena”… journalism has always cost money. It was never free/gratis.

If news was all pay news, it would create other intractable problems

Sure, i agree. I didnt say subscription was the best revenue model. You also have the guardian’s non-profit, or publicly funded media. But those have problems and biases too.

But surely all those models are better than what we have now

Although i agree with banning foreign ownership, it doesnt really solve the real problem which is media being the mouthpiece for billionaires.

Regular folk clearly dont want to pay for journalism, and thats how we ended up with billionaires owning all the news outlets.

We ban the foreign billionaires and then what? Canadian billionaire owned news? The lesser of two evils i guess.

Ask new brunswick how it went with the irvings owning all the news in the province.

Removed linux off all the computers in my house because i found out the passwd file can store full names and phone numbers! Then the admin can even use something called finger to show this information!!

The fuck kind of thumbnail is that? Supersexe hasnt existed for years now

Interesting they write “struck by jetski rider” to show the operator’s responsibility…

But when its a car driver they say, “child struck by SUV”… implying the operator had no choice in the matter

“The challenge for the is that RCMP has been unable and unwilling to actually investigate and sustain investigations related to financial crimes,” said Davis. “There is a lack of funding, a lack of skills, lack of resources and a lack of political will. But financial crimes investigations are long, complex and require sustained resources, which I’m hopeful we’re now going to see put in place.”

was the rcmp financial crimes division actually unwilling to investigate? Or just underfunded?

This person seems to be speaking in the present tense… in which case, the lack of financial crime investigation seems to be a consequence of prior funding cuts

Didnt we used to have an rcmp financial crimes unit that was disbanded?

Why, netherlands??? I thought we were friends, 😢

Canada lags behind in everything because our only bar is “slightly better than the USA”

our healthcare lags, but its slightly better than the US

Education lags, but still slightly better than the US (is it?)

We lag behind in resisting populism and facism, but slightly better than the US

The list goes on…

Yeah, i wouldnt be so sure PP is finished.

Voters are dumb as rocks and have short memories… he could roll out a new slogan tomorrow that catches on…

“urges”

Carney after getting a majority:

The worst is, “well at least we’re not as bad as america! Go live there for a few years if you think things are bad in canada!”

I fucking hate living next door to them…

tons of cutbacks happen under liberal governments… the least they could do is restoring funding…

we keep voting the same 2 parties in over and over expecting different results

crown jewel

So… going to be sold off to one of his buddies…
