Google: “We can’t let people sideload apps on their phones because they could contain malicious code. Only our Play Store is safe”.

The Play Store:

May I ask how you got that patched version and how you can trust it?

Macrodroid sold out and became spyware crammed with trackers that send data to dozens of third party analytics companies. Stay away from Macrodroid. Exodus report on the app

These recommendations don’t go far enough.

Every Canadian should have the right to easily disable telemetry in the devices they’ve purchased and own and any attempt by the likes of Google, Apple, Microsoft or Facebook to circumvent this choice, to make it more difficult than it should to fully disable, or to unjustifiably tie it to functionalities that don’t need it should be met with substantial and effectively deterring punishment.

The OJ you buy is absolute junk anyway. The pasteurization process removes all flavour so they have to compensate with artificial flavours and extra sugar and it still tastes nothing like the actual fresh squeezed stuff you make yourself.

That explains why the quality of their products has collapsed over the last two decades.

It is more nuanced than that. I does not necessarily have to be equal to the threat, but must be the minimum means required to stop the attack that is available to you at the time.

So if someone runs at you with a knife and all you have is a gun, you’re not expected to drop the gun and start looking for a knife to defend yourself with. But if someone who is half your size comes at your bare handed, you shouldn’t need to do much more than use measured open handed techniques like pushing them away. Someone this much smaller isn’t much of a threat and there is no need to pummel that person into a paste to stop their attract. Your actions shouldb also immediately stop as soon as the threat is no longer active and you absolutely shouldn’t be allowed to use it as an excuse to cause unnecessary harm.

There is a lot of information and nuance in this that article that we’re not getting that could make this a good or a bad call.

You definitely don’t want a home occupant to be allowed to open fire indiscriminately in the back of someone who set foot on their property and then turned around to run away the moment they realized the occupants were still home like you see in the States. Or even worse, people who use the self-defence law as an excuse to shoot some kid who went in their yard to recover their ball.

But on the other hand, you don’t want to make it too complicated or restrictive either. There are a lot of unknowns in a situation like this. Is the intruder armed? Is the intruder alone? How well can they fight? These are often questions you will only know the answers of in hindsight, long after the time at which a critical decision had to be made. If someone breaks into someone’s house and does not turn around to run away the moment the occupant(s) make their presence known to the intruder, I can’t think of many more hurdles we should put in their way of defending themselves.

Even more terrifying, everything is cloud based and/or has intrusive server-based DRM. They effectively have a kill switch for all MS services used by the government and military.

And that isn’t even taking into account the technology of increasingly affordable drones, which would routinely cross the immensely wide borders, or downright be launched from within the border and destroy American infrastructure deep in their territory. Just like Ukraine is doing to Russia.

DRY THE HANDS

Imagine how obsolete these drones will be in 2033. It will be a waste of money at that point.

This isn’t the first time critically needed equipment ends up arriving far too late to be useful because of the insane delays caused by the procurement bureaucracy.

Government procurement needs to trim some bureaucracy. By trying so hard to minimize waste we end up guaranteeing waste.

Can we have a list?

Bring back the online services tax too.

Should’ve kept going East until he entered Maine.

Paraphrasing their statement, they claim that he capsized because he suddenly turned to ram them when they were trying to board him because he was a few yards inside the US border.

I find hard to believe that someone in a small slow boat like that would decide to ram a law enforcement ship and this puts the rest of the statement in doubt.

“I miss you!”

They say, as they are still in the process of attacking our country.

And don’t get me started on ICE.

Nasty? Glad to see that you’ve noticed. We tend to be nasty when people mock and threaten our sovereignty and then actively try to destroy our economy. Try to escalate and see how much nastier it will get you cowardly child rapist.

The ones who were actively serving will likely be sent to military prison.

Btw, military prison makes civilian prison feel like a vacation.

For those who don’t know: Edmonton is where the military prison is. Referred to as “Club Ed” by members and is known to be a living hell designed specifically to break you through non-stop work and makes regular civilian prison look like a vacation. You have to be an absolute piece of shit like these guys to end up in that correctional facility. They are guaranteed to not be the same when they get out of there.

The CAF doesn’t mess around with people like these so if you think they are representative of the CAF as a whole you are wrong.
