  • In the Age of the Absurd Casus Belli, no Country is Safe -- [Opinion]

    Jump

  • Passive, yet active enough to engage in dispirited doomsaying. If you were that passive you wouldn't be commenting. You wouldn't be actively attempting to discourage people from resisting. You wouldn't be actively expressing your intent. You would, at most, be swiping up or down with your thumbs until some event led to you putting your phone or computer down and forced you to act.

  • Where the hell is CSIS? Where is the media?

    Jump

  • The CSIS mandate and reporting show that most operational activity is anchored in Canada and supported by extensive foreign liaison and collection abroad. CSIS has a large global network of partners and some officers posted overseas, yet these are primarily (since you're enamoured with that word) used to support investigations into threats to Canada rather than to run a separate, large, outward‑facing program comparable to a dedicated foreign intelligence service.

  • I have known many people who have had nervous breakdowns. Some still retain the courage of their convictions. I am sure you could find some passive aggression to contribute if you needed to.

  • It would be excellent strategy to work on getting progressive Americans to start a movement to secede. Foment a new revolution down there so they exhaust themselves and their munitions on each other as much as possible and split their resolve. We don't have to defeat their military, just their will, their coordination, and their supplies.

  • Trump’s Terrifying New Security Doctrine Turns Canada into a Target

    Jump

  • I am ex-military, ex-intelligence and work in cybersecurity. I have been preparing since October 2024.

  • Anna’s Archive loses .org domain, says suspension likely unrelated to Spotify piracy

    Jump

  • well, especially since se also works as a domain, so I originally was expecting, to use related syntax for fun se|li (or plain old se/li) and had to go back and reread. At first read it as se/org/li as in, "se OR org OR li" work and I thought, "no, they just said org doesn't work." Then I reread and recognized the sed pattern.

  • The Case for Sticking Around

    Jump

  • As I understand it, they also don't get to take any treaty or federal land with them. And they don't seem to realize they'd have to take their percentage of the national debt, develop their own currency system, etc. (unless they want to be a US territory, because no way they'll get to be a state)

  • Unions, public service employees speak out against Ontario return to office policy

    Jump

  • managers, directors, deputies, CIOs, etc. will all be sitting in the cube farms too, right? I mean, if face-to-face collaboration and visible availability actually do improve productivity and effectiveness then it should apply to everyone, shouldn't it?

  • Venezuela - The Lesson for Canada

    Jump

  • Is Canada being blocked from Venezuelan news? ( edit, we're not )

    Jump

  • Who is your non cell internet provider?

  • annas-archive.org is down

    Jump

  • They didn't work for me until I used Tor. Then they all worked.

  • The way of the pirate

    Jump

  • If your pension plan is a rope, might I suggest a guillotine instead? or first? Get rid of as many top hoarders as you can.

    I remember the looks I got at a goalsetting workshop when they asked, "What would you do if you had six months to live?" and I said, "Killing spree."

  • Any decent privacy-friendly Duolingo alternatives?

    Jump

  • qlango might meet your needs.

  • Bitter feud ensues after landlord's failed attempt to raise tenants' rent 65%

    Jump

  • I wasn't aware anywhere in Canada allowed zero down for residential housing. CMHC usually requites at least 5%, and that's for personal housing only. Which means the numbers would work out to even lower monthly payments.

  • Amazon Workers at DJT6 Facility in Riverside Join Teamsters

    Jump

  • DJT 1-5 are probably for-profit slave colonies, I mean, detention centers, and not publicized. Amazon probably took a page from Apple and has netting under the windows so they don't lose labour to petty things like suicide.

  • Skate Canada to stop holding national, international events in Alberta

    Jump

  • And these people are allowed to make policy decisions?! They shouldn't even be allowed to drive.

  • Buy Canadian policy lets foreign-owned firms qualify as Canadian, Lightbound says

    Jump

  • If our governments always choose the lowest bidder who fills out the RFP with right words, we're always going to get lowballers who change request the project into oblivion. And then if the management style focuses more on making sure people are in the office (so nearby crony businesses can optimize their profits, and incompetent managers can think they're in control) instead of focusing on streamlining and effectively running the delivery processes, it is inevitable projects will be late, incorrect, and over budget.

  • permits only athletes assigned female at birth to compete in women’s sports.

    So a trans man, having been assigned female at birth, could compete in women's sports?

  • American-owned consortium assumes control of Canada’s premier nuclear research facility

    Jump

  • And take them back.
