It's beautiful!

This is what the bots get for their expansionism. If they keep taking over the galaxy there will be nowhere for our children and our children's children to settle.

Is there evidence of this happening?

And if so, I think I would just plug it into an old router via ethernet with no external connectivity.

The monkeys paw will surely curl when they also ban students from attending the March for Life in Ottawa right?

When I was in school my school sent us every year pitching it as a free trip to Ottawa.

Yeah I remember when they rolled that out… it does not give me hope for the future of privacy.

Canada needs to really ramp up our privacy laws, I’m not crazy about GDPR specifically, but there needs to be something more substantial here.

I love stories like this

Growing up in northern Ontario my dad used to read us poetry, with a family favourite being The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert Service.

In 2009 they found the wreck of the A J Goddard on Lake Laberge (also using a fish finder) which sank just a three years before the poem was written. At the time my brother and I were excited thinking it was the same boat as in the poem, but later I learned the poem is based on an cremation in the engine of a different wrecked ship. It was very fun speculating though! You never really think of how dangerous those boats were.

Another interesting bit of trivia is that Parks Canada actually owns (manages?) two shipwrecks in the Arctic, the HMS Terror and the Erebus, which were only discovered in 2016 and 2014 respectively. Inuit oral stories and legends actually resulted in the discovery of the wrecks 170 years later, it's a very interesting story.

Hey boss, I'm logging this ticket as tech debt. We need to take this on to hit our marketing deadline, and as soon as the project is over we need two scrum cycles to resolve it.

Two years later...

This ticket has been open forever, can we just delete it since nobody is ever going to clean this up? It's messing up our velocity metric.

Nothing is more conservative than selling off Canadian interests to foreign companies.

stating that, out of one million applicants over the last ten years, three in four gave up due to red tape and an application process that can take months to complete.

They should bring back that thing where you get drunk and find a shilling in your pocket and papers that you’re now property of the Royal Navy. It only slightly contributed to several major wars.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying "biological males" should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms.

"Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males," Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.

The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent "transgender women" or "biological men" from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.

"A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear ... what reach federal legislation would have to change them," Poilievre said.

"But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males," he added.
