  • A tale as old as time! Car brains don’t bat an eye when it’s $1 million, $10 million, or $100 million spent on “convenience” for motorists.

    But don’t you dare spend a fraction of that for the safety and security of everyone else! /s

    I wish our governments would have motorists pay the true cost of their multi-lane roads, “free” on-street parking spaces, parking garages and massive lots, or the cost to send first responders out to the tens of thousands of collisions we’ve normalized.

    Maybe then they’d STFU about cost.

    All communities pay dearly for car-centric infrastructure, and the maintenance costs required to keep it all running.





  • Therefore, it is crucial to note that Hitler chose a party name of national socialists to deceive the general public, in particular the working class, to grow the base and strength of the Nazi Party. This was an intentional lie, deliberate propaganda…

    The fact that either PP doesn’t know this, or is trying to deliberately twist the facts, should make every Canadian angry.

    To equate true socialism, like making sure that school kids have food in their stomach, to what Nazis did under Hitler, is so dishonest and shameful.






  • “The more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV… the less time they have available for patrolling railway stations and trains, investigating crimes which cause the most harm.”

    Interesting. Then they’ll stop investigating other vehicle theft, too, right?

    Also, if you are going to “decriminalize” crimes like that, then at least “decriminalize” actions taken by people to prevent or recover their stolen property.












  • The way AdGuard does it, is it has you install a certificate on your phone, which then allows you to block ads and trackers within HTTPS pipelines. If you don’t do that, then it can only block HTTP requests, which tends to be pretty low quality filtering. In addition, I also enable DNS blocking through AdGuard DNS service, so it’s kind of like blanket coverage.

    I haven’t honestly found anything that does the same thing, or at least not at the same level of quality. So I’m always curious to see if something new has come out that can reach this level of filtering performance.
