It's a recording heads factory.

Corporations - which are already pretty damned conservative - will back the CPC with ten times the money if this happens. It would be lovely, but would guarantee a Poilievre win.

I doubt it'll work. There are significant limits to political spending. Corpos can't fund political campaigns directly and there isn't an easy or unlimited way to do it indirectly. It's gotta go via individuals and the limits there are small. The cons will get more but I don't think it'll be dramatically more.

That will prevent the CPC (or anyone else) from securing a majority in the next election, but I don’t think it’ll win the election for him.

Yes.

At the end of the day, I honestly don’t believe Trudeau can win another election under any reasonable circumstances. The best he can do is stack the deck in the party’s favour, and then step down.

In the current status quo probably true. Who knows what could happen with PP till the election. Perhaps something unreasonable would come out. 😅

The other parties can table this too can't they?

I would take the delay along with the implementation of policies like pharmacare, and then have Poilinever having to either promise to not touch it or say he'll cut it during the election campaign, thank you very much. There's a lot that can happen till the next fall. Inflation is down, mortgages are falling, who knows what could come out about Pipsqueak till then.

There's other options too. Among them: a massive swing away from corporate smell along with popular pro-labor rhetoric and actions; electoral reform without stepping down; Jagmeet introducing electoral reform in the current parliament, Trudeau supporting it, etc.

Given the scale of China, it's not implausible that this operation could have been setup without Chinese government involvement. If small firms can make such machines in Ukraine, small firms can make them in China too. Now whether China does something about it now that the allegations are there or not is another matter.

Aren't the mandates driven by Ottawa downtown businesses complaints?

Also I wonder how does the train movement affect ventilation. I recall the mountain train tunnels in Italy. Since the tunnels are just wide enough, the trains act as pistons, pushing and pulling air in and out of the tunnels. I recall experiencing pretty strong wind coming out of the tunnel prior to the train emerging out of it. I wonder if this is enough to circulate enough air. I'm not expecting an answer, just wanted to share this shower thought. 😄

Ventilation still a problem with just electric trains with metal rolling stock?

Interesting. Thanks for the recap!

As far as I can tell it dates back to at least 2010 - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/githb/index.html. See the Solaris version. You can try it with small test files in place of disks and see if it works. I haven't done it expansion yet but that's my plan for growing beyond the 48T of my current pool. I use ZFS on Linux btw. Works perfectly fine.

I think data checksums allow ZFS to tell which disk has the correct data when there's a mismatch in a mirror, eliminating the need for 3-way mirror to deal with bit flips and such. A traditional mirror like mdraid would need 3 disks to do this.

 

The investment preserves about 1,800 jobs in Oakville, plus Ford will add 150 workers at a Windsor, Ontario, engine plant and about 70 positions at some U.S. component factories.

 

Ottawa quietly enacted its new Digital Services Tax last week, the same day Ontario Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy wrote to his federal counterpart asking Ottawa to pause its implementation. Bethlenfalvy joins Power & Politics to discuss his concerns about the levy on foreign tech giants operating in Canada.

 

She lost to Labour.

Rental prices rose 0.9 per cent in May from the previous month. That brought the yearly pace of rent increases up to 8.9 per cent, with rent being the second-largest annual contributor to inflation.

Mortgage interest costs slowed very slightly to 0.8 per cent in May from April, and brought the annual pace of increases to 23.3 per cent.

 

Came upon this beautiful piece of corporate propaganda.

 

Meanwhile the LPC oppose the bill while the CPC would work to amend it.

 

Turnout was around 25%, which isn't surprising in a by-election.

 

I don't have a better source than NatPo. If anyone's aware of a better one, post it.

Have some new old stock SATA drives vomiting at you?

Grab your contact cleaner and clean their SATA connectors!

I just bought a new 1TB Crucial MX500 made in god knows what year and installed it in a virgin SATA port of a M710q made in 2016 and I got the vomit you see above every time I loaded the drive. Reseated all the connectors. More vomit. Scratched my head a couple of times reaching for the trash bin and I had a brainwave that there might be oxidation from sitting naked with the elements. Took out the DeoxIt Gold, dabbed all the connectors on the SATA path, cycled them a few times, powered on and loaded the drive. No more vomit.
