The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin

OG SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog, the dark one where his family and friends have been roboticized.

Good to see.

The NDP needs to be checked by the greens, else their policies slide further right. I’d rather they didn’t get a majority, this is the best case scenario IMHO.

Fuck that shit. Standards are called standards for a reason. MS can eat shit or comment.

He’s going to punish Americans. His tariffs don’t do shit to Canada.

I mean, in the case of changing values of currency, physical money isn’t changing anything there. As a Canadian forced to buy many things in USD I am constantly suffering from exchange rate changes which is similar. Money retains the same value in country though unless something goes really wrong at the bank of Canada. This is riskier because of trade and how interdependent nations are today.

I’m not a financial expert here, so some of the things you hit on in your reply I am not familiar with. I’ve never used GICs. RRSPs however can be invested, or sit in cash non-invested. Its the same account type either way.

Some, like BMO Investorline, will charge for it to sit in cash (Investorline charges you $100/month) - BMO Smartfolio won’t let you put things in cash, they say they aren’t setup for that.

I ended up moving my RRSP to an RRSP with my credit union. Its getting moved to an RRSP but it will sit in cash hold, uninvested, until such time as I am ready to put it back into the market. I did this before the 2020 dip as well. You can avoid the bubble popping this way. It doesn’t need to stay on the market.

In Canada at least you can have the funds pulled from the market and put in cash hold until you are comfortable with the market for RRSP/RESP.

Some banks will try to tell you you cannot do this or will charge you $100/month to keep it in cash. If they do, go to another institution and get it moved there. Many credit unions offer the same accounts with zero charges for holding cash.

Before that oil was moved through pipelines it was moved by train, I’m sure that could be arranged to bridge some of the demand. Not perfect by any means, but it would help until we could solve the pipeline problem. At this point we need to plan for a “when” scenario.

You mean the information sharing? No its just data they can use if they decide to go through with annexation of the country so they can find all the people they want to send to the Gulags or prosecute for thought crimes right away.

Bill C-2 covers information sharing, and petition e-6838 is opposing it, and this is the second time I’ve heard of this cooperation between border control agencies and last heard of it being discussed between Carney and Trump, though I do not recall agreements made. If this is being introduced in the US, then it seems likely some agreement was made or is expected to be made, so I’m asking if someone knows of existing corresponding legislation or petitions.

Where is the Canadian side of this legislation? Where is the petition to stop this shit?

I’d email my MP but unfortunately NDP lost in my region and we have Aaron Fucking Gunn who is just a little PP Parrot that wants stronger ties with the US like all the Conservatives.

Fuck the US

I’m not sure why he’s wasting time on that orange turd. He should be getting the rebuild of our lost industries going and telling the americans to GTFO and eat dirt at this point. Stengthen ties with EU and Mexico now.

Fuck trump and the USA.

That’s fair, and people will use things different than the intention of the thing if it suits them. My point was more to highlight that you cannot group all things where buying and selling happen as “marketplaces” and expect the same protections/moderation etc.

This new tool is to replace the local ads/garage sale like equivalents with something self hosted. EBay is not one of these, regardless of how people choose to use it. As an auction site it is on a different level in both functional and legal experience. You cannot expect that from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace Kijiji, or you local newspaper ads or garage sales.

But a classified ad site is not a marketplace, and that’s where we need to be mindful of the distinction.

EBay is an exception here, its also not a classified ads site.

EBay is an auction house. Auction houses have stricter rules.

Classified ads is you grandma posting her VCR for sale, or selling your used boat locally. Its a parallel to a newspaper classified section. There has never been any control on sites like this other than “buyer beware”. Craigslist, Kijiji and Facebunk Marketplace are all classified ad equivalents and have zero guarantee or protections usually.

Given these are meant to be local ads, the onus is on the buyer to go to the sellers house and verify what they are buying.

I’m running Kube on baremetal.

Zimaboard.
