  • universal healthcare

    As long as you don't have teeth, eyes, mental health troubles, require medication or take an ambulance.

  • How the fuck do they have MORE than 800 management staff?

  • Hey look at that, cops are the same on both sides of the border!

  • Then start migrating. You could set yourself on fire, as protest, in front of the Microsoft head office and they would just count it as 'engagement.'

  • You know which OS wont flip a switch to enable AI slop features? EVERY OTHER OS

    Install Linux or BSD, if you are rich buy a Mac that needs replacing in 3 years.

  • Unerpaid essential employee? No strikes! Your usefulness defines you as a slave, you know, unless you want to quit the industry that you have trained for and worked in.

  • There needs to be a new class of crime covering imported conflicts. It doesn't matter if your neighbour is from the wrong half of Ireland or was in a lower caste, that shis should end at the border.

  • This feature is completely optional and is never turned on by default.

    AI desktops sound like a privacy nightmare but right in the article they say, it's not the default. Every time MS adds another shitware feature there is lots of warning, like this, and there is time for concerned users to find work arounds or jump ship to a more sane OS. We need less clickbait titles and more "how do we work around it" because MS doens't care about users needs or concerns only increasing revenue.

  • Cut the 30B that subsidizes oil and gas.

  • Hey, would you look at that, Canada has no liberal party! That thing that no one believes until it happens evey time.

  • If only we didn't have to subsidize the petro industry $29B, I wonder how many doctors and nurses that could pay for.

  • The camera or the film? The camera is just an icon I use everywhere, the film is a DIY pallophotophone recording of my voice.

    My big issue with healthcare in Canada (Ontario specifically) is that providers who do not cut corners go out of business, because they are a business. A hospital is a private entity that not only has to provide care, it has to make enough of a profit that they can keep the the lights on, pay medical staff, pay non-medical staff, buy 3 to 5 houses per board member. It incentivizes cutting corners because anywhere that there can be profit there has to be maximum profits. If healthcare was run as a service where it is expected to be a total financial loss, all funding ends up going into healthcare or the people who support the health care staff, equipment and facilities.

  • We need healthcare to be treated like the army. It is a service, not a profit generation industry.

  • Motor, frame, and prop production can all be spun up overnight. The money part of drones is the flight controller and radio gear, all of that comes from china and would take several years for Canada to start production.

  • Middle management blows their load over an employee that can't be sexually harassed and always tells you that you're right.

  • Who didn't know that the US was the Mecca of bigotry, racism, homophobia, and corporate greed? Seriously, I can't be the only person who saw this coming as soon as Trump's name went on the ballot in 2016.

  • The only reason there isn't more outcry about John Deere is they have successfully painted farmers as the bad guy, trying to "steal" business away from the poor tractor corporation. Same goes for 3rd party repair techs performing "illegal" modifications to iPhones.

  • affordable Chinese EVs

    A Trojan Horse of monumental scale. China's long term goals is to run the world, they will use any opportunity they get to get economic control over other countries. Putting millions of vehicles on the road that can be disabled by the Chinese government every time we disagree is not a smart move.

    And this isn't just fearmongering about Chinese tech, all modern cars have cellular modems and can be disabled to some degree by the manufacture, but China has 100% control over big businesses. If they say no commuting in Canada tomorrow, it'll happen.

  • This can be done without inviting AI and crypto bros (the same people) into Canada. Electric car chargers can be required to follow a charging profile put out by the supply authority, then as people go to bed at night chargers can be ramped up and the base load increased.
