  • We need spies. Canada is the only G7 countries without a foreign intelligence agency. It's completely foolish to trust the americans.

  • I think your title meant to say, "Canada is the only G7 countries without a foreign intelligence agency."

  • After a reboot all the data is encrypted and needs a pin/fingerprint to unlock.

    Just to clarify, it needs a PIN/password to unlock after reboot. Biometrics like fingerprint aren't available until the device has been decrypted.

  • Poilievre says he'll use notwithstanding clause to ensure multiple-murderers die in prison

    Jump

  • I think Poilievre is also preying on people not understanding how our judicial system works. When someone is "eligible for Parole after 25 years" the key word is eligible. Our most heinous criminals will die in prison, but at a certain point, they have to right to go before the parole board, and I think that's a good thing.

  • I wouldn't say that's the case. Doug Ford got huge push-back for using it, to the point he repealed a piece of legislation that invoked it. Similarly, I don't think Poilievre would experience "no real consequences".

    Plus, as pointed out in the article, "The clause can only override certain sections of the charter." IANAL, but I'm sure this (and Poilievre's other proposals to invoke the clause) will be reviewed by the courts.

  • Judge Jamee Comans said Friday that she had no authority to question Rubio's determination.

    So, if an immigration judge can't question the Secretary of State's determination, who can?

  • Some Conservative supporters question whether the polls can be trusted

  • I know a lot of firms missed on the 2016 election, but the last two (plus the midterms) have all been within the margin of error.

  • The polls are wrong more often than not.

    citation needed

    Polls are generally pretty good, especially for reliable polling firms. The problem is people don't understand what they mean, and media often does a poor job at explaining them.

  • Does anyone have a link to the letters and signatories? It's really annoying when news articles like this report on "publicly available" news but don't provide the sources. My internet sleuthing isn't turning up anything either.

    I'd really like to see the details of the letter and who signed on.

  • Fair, but in that case I don't think that's "human error" but instead "negligence".

  • This isn't something new for HBC. From what I can see, they've has been foreign owned since at least 2006 and have claimed Canadianism hard for the last couple decades.

  • My dad is a veteran and he said it was hurtful to see young Canadians hating the country for its past.

    This feels like it's downplaying the horrors in our history.

    I don't think there's many "young Canadians hating the country for its past." I do think younger people feel shame for some of our collective past actions and guilty for how they may benefit from those actions. Personally, think reconciliation is important, and that issues like residential schools are not done and gone because they're in the past, they continue to affect people in the present, and potentially for generations to come.

  • The mistake at a Queensland fertility clinic has been blamed on human error.

    In most cases, "human error" is just "processes weren't in place to prevent human error." We all make mistakes, but not have mechanisms in place to catch these mistakes is the problem.

  • TekSavvy and other TPIA (Third-Party Internet Access) providers are not a reseller, presumably including Park Power. They only use incumbent last-mile infrastructure. Once it's out of your neighborhood, it's their infrastructure.

    TekSavvy has expressed interest in selling (it's owned by Marc Gaudrault and was previously co-owned with his brother, Rocky), but has not been sold yet.

  • I have TekSavvy internet (unless you're in their small fiber network, yes you're still using Bell/Rogers/Cogeco/Telus local lines) and my cell phone is with Fizz (flanker brand of VideoTron, which also owns Freedom, which is all owned by Quebecor).
