How these foods trick you into loving them

I wonder what kinds of tarrifs are being considered for US computer services, like ad publishing, cloud hosting, LLM, labour like consulting and support...
US tech giants take in billions and billions for these services each year. Often without a Canadian subsidiary. Often while stealing copyrighted material produced in Canada. Meta in particular has been uncooperative.
Tariff & tax these foreign services. Encourage Canadians to replace them.
Man, corporations really want to put a stop to libraries:

"Depending on the title, public libraries may pay two or three times more for an e-book than they pay for its print edition. In some cases, the e-book may be up to six times the price, librarians told CBC."
"Those publishers ... will often license copies of e-books for just 12 or 24 months. Once that licence expires, libraries must repurchase access to the same book." #canada #cdnpoli #books
It is completely mind boggling to me that proposing a simple rail system that would end up looking like this across Canada is generally met with claims of impossibility and impracticality.
(This is a transcontinental freight train in Austria heading to Italy and/or Slovenia and possibly beyond)

Canada's Conservative leaders break the bank while preaching prudence
For all their talk about being fiscally prudent, Conservative politicians in Canada have more or less abandoned the idea of balancing the budget.Canada's National Observer
Canada's #CopyrightAct allows circumvention of technological protection measures if done for purposes of "maintaining or repairing a product, including any related diagnosing," and "to make the program or a device in which it is embedded interoperable with any other computer program, device or component." As iFixit points out, neither amendment do anything to expand access to tools needed to circumvent TPMs.

Canada passes new right to repair rules with the same old problem
No mention of how to get the tools to bypass software locks means owner still legally beholden to OEMsBrandon Vigliarolo (The Register)
Can any of my friends in #Canada explain how it's legal for there to be private doctor services now? Here's one example:
There are many different doctors listed here: portal3.clicsante.ca/services/…
I guess our healthcare system is getting privatized without us even knowing?

These #InternationalStudents Wanted #Citizenship. #Canada Killed That Dream.
As Canada tries to staunch an overflow of temporary #immigration, tens of thousands of international students and recent grads may be forced to leave the country. Here are their stories.
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.
The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.

Fellow Canadians, would you like to sign up to be a FluWatcher and help the government track covid and flu cases?
They send out one short survey each week that asks if you’ve had symptoms like a fever or cough. It takes me less than 30 seconds to fill out: cnphi.canada.ca/fluWatcher/reg…

⚠️ "If you think naively that the #Russians don't care as much about influencing Canadian thought, penetrating the Canadian government at all levels — I'm here to tell you they care deeply about shaping how you think, how you vote and sowing chaos and discord,"
Canadians who .. assist in Russia's .. attempts to use disinformation, criminal and covert activities.... to undermine our sovereignty and democratic processes will face the full force of Canadian law"

In Alberta's official births data, there is an entry for a boy born in 2020 with the name Ííîîïïòòóóôôõõööùùúúûûüüýýààááââããääççè
I want to think this is a data-entry error but I also want to think this was someone just absolutely trolling the registry / vital statistics staff.

Hey Canadian nerds! I have held the domain registration for regex.ca for a very long time. When I lived in Canada it was my primary domain, but I haven't used it for years. Does anyone on the fediverse have a good use for it?
I'm going to release it but if you've got a good pitch I'll pay for a 1 year renewal and then transfer it to your ownership.
[edit: @blakecoverett has put regex.ca to appropriately goofy, human-centric use. huzzah for the Fediverse!]
New instance, new introduction. Hello, I am Adam from Ottawa Canada. I am a totally blind man, identifying as he/him.
My primary interests are technology and music. I was a former professional drummer, playing the bar stages of Ottawa and the ocasional out-of-town show.
I've always been rhythmical, annoying the heck out of my parents at the tendor age of four on up banging on pots, pans, spoons, and whatever else I could get my grubby little hands on.
I got my first drum kit when I was 12, back in 1999. I got a couple of upgrades over the years, and then switched to electronic kits in 2007 when I managed to save and purchase a Roland TD-12 kit with my own money. That was like buying a car for me, LOL.
I was professionally active from 2007 until 2019.
Some hearing issues with extended loudness causing anxiety and unease started my issues with playing live shows, and then COVID19 really finished that career.
I've been interested in technology from a young age as well, receiving my first electronic note taker for the blind, a Blazie Engineering Braille Lite in 1996 at the age of 9.
I then got my first computer in the summer of 1998, learned DOS, then eventually Windows 3.1, 95, and on up.
I've had many, many, many computers and other technological devices since those days, and I have done any serious compute work in Linux, where in I am mostly referring to running servers, hosting things, and distributed compute projects.
Professionally, I am currently a systems/server administrator, backend web developer, database administrator, and infrastructure administrator.
Other interests include animals, documentaries, listening to most kinds of music, having deep intellectual conversations, and pondering the meaning of life.

CBC is pausing their Twitter use. Now would be a good time to email their PR team or your local shows and suggest they try Mastodon.
