Ontario, Canada.
Love being outdoors, motorcycling, jogging, or just walking.
“No, but this time it’s different!”, they all say…
There’s something unsettling about PostMedia eating up all of these locals. They’ve shown that they’re interested in being Fox News for Canada; playing fast and loose with facts, and stoking fear and anger.
Sure, I can get behind that. The issue with our country isn’t immigration though. Like you said, it’s handing over our money and future to the Westons, etc. While we should be focused on that, we’re discussing immigration. This isn’t a new tactic and people fall for the bait so very easily
Yes yes… The vilification of immigrants is different THIS time.
But… but… All this time Canadian news media have been feeding me rage bait about immigration being the root of all of Canada’s problems. I don’t know what to think! /s

The policy prohibits research collaboration with Named Research Organizations in Sensitive Technology Research Areas
That should be Public Safety, and ISED.
I take your point, except that it’s the PPS, and not the OPS that have jurisdiction on the hill. According to the article, the RCMP apparently want them to be limited to checking bags for visitors.
It’s a weird take, and a bit of a territory grab.
Pretty incredible.
Haven’t heard that one yet. I’ll have to keep an ear out.
It’s a mix for me. I’ll definitely use the CLI for most things, but I find some things easier with a GUI:
