The imbalance becomes even more pronounced when weighing the law’s benefits against its harms. The harms are certain, immediate, and irreversible, as the verification infrastructure exposes millions of identity documents to providers largely beyond the reach of Canadian privacy law, a risk demonstrated by the Discord breach that leaked roughly 70,000 government-issued IDs last fall. Privacy alone may not decide the case, but the verification mandate is not only a privacy cost. A law that conditions access to social media for online expression by requiring proof of identity limits expression itself for Canadians of all ages. The benefits, by contrast, are speculative at best, given mounting data from Australia that suggests a ban is ineffective.

The group’s New Brunswick chapter has called on the provincial government to introduce a free air conditioner program for low-income renters.

One downtown Moncton resident on a fixed income said that she recently purchased a used A/C unit for about $100. That modest purchase meant that she had to cut back on groceries.

Robinson said there isn’t enough support available for low-income renters who are making hard choices between utility payments, groceries and rent.

Many older people suffer “because they’re afraid to turn on their air conditioning unit, because they can’t afford the hydro bill as it is,” she added.

Last week, NB Power launched a new program providing rebates to landlords for energy efficiency upgrades, including the installation of devices such as heat pumps.

Tenants’ rights advocates have argued that the program doesn’t guarantee benefits to renters, and that landlords might use it as a pretext for rent hikes.

False they got more than that.

More rape doesn’t fix the root of the issue.

David Eby had went on record to say he was against proportional representation coming from a guy who had a leadership race without competition.

Yes, I mean cellular. It’s must be soo cool to live in the border town since you can get the best of both worlds. Better cell service from Sask and lower drinking age from Berta.

He loves his Brookfield investments and promising to protect pharmacare in 2025 only to refuse to commit more funding in the subsequent fall budget.

I always knew Mark Carney was gonna sell us out to his elite friends.

Does Lloydminster have Sasktel service across the town?

The Saskparty is trying to run over SaskTel so citizens are forced to pay more for private telecom services.

Or I outright dislike them, like Rachel Gilmore or Juno News.

Rachel Gilmore is not the same as Juno News….

I don’t trust independent outlets

That’s a very questionable stance indeed….

However there are other public broadcasters and independent trust worthy outlets.

Why only CBC? One source of information is unhealthy.

Yup, they’re gonna use natural gas for it!

Don’t waste BC Hydro’s precious power on those garbage ai buildings.

More disinformation for the Albertan separatists.

Especially while living next to a hostile superpower.
