So, basically, stalking for the purposes of either blackmail or exposure. Just politics. I guess that means other parties can do it to Doug, too?

Dear Alberta, could you please deal with your racists and get your ridiculous theocracy out of office? We have to get ready for a real war.

How about also, "Wow, seems like you need to work on your resource planning skills," when a manager tries to demand unpaid overtime?

Why stop at subminimum wage? They should give people the option to work for free as, what do you call that again? Oh yeah, slaves. Republicans like the idea of those, right?

I'm confused. Isn't "collecting keystroke data" just an alarmist way to describe text entry?

Two questions:

  1. How is this legal?
  2. Why do Ontario voters keep this guy in office?

Alberta is batshit crazy, Saskatchewan is apparently full of assholes, and Ontario seems to want this. There arw not a lot of decent places left to live on this continent.

Nationalize internet service and put Canada Post in charge. It's about making sure all Canadians can communicate effectively and affordably. Penalize private delivery services that don't meet the labour standards (and as private citizens refuse to use them, nickel and dime everything you can out of them, send shit back not delivered by Canada Post and refuse to pay for the return - just refuse delivery), expose all private holdings of delivery services stock, assets, relatives with equity positions, etc. of anyone in government who therefore have a conflict of interest and charge them a fee equivalent to all profits to be made if they vote against Canada post employees. It's a service, not a business. We don't expect the military to turn a profit.

Does this mean they'll also place limits on data collection by swasticars? Or does invasive US spytech get a special pass?

Maybe citizens should start buying location data on Kash Patel, Hegseth, Vance, Thiel, Ellison, etc. You know, so everyone knows where they are at all times in case they want to thank them forcall the good work they're doing.

"vouchers could be made available to help Canadians pay for costs such as long-term care or home care services"

This was how the conservative provincial government tried to sneak in privatization of long term care and home and community care in my province. (Source: I was one of the consultants brought in to assess the viability of the plan, and my contract was abruptly cancelled after I explicitly pointed out this was what they were doing)

Fortunately, COVID derailed the program, and a new government came in before it could be restarted. But, as a result, I am extra cautious and thorough anytime analysts mention voucher programs.

Of course, PP wants to defund any media his backers can't control.

It concerns me they think it's about optics and not about strategic concerns around getting equipment from a potential future enemy who might build in sabotage capacity.

We should be making sure older people know Poilievre will try to take away their CPP and OAS. And privatize as much of their health care as he can.
