If the NDP chose a new, outspoken leader who was a straight white male, they might have a chance.

How does this benefit him though? Having the ports open benefits the country and the executive class at the expense of the employees, but it doesn’t directly affect Trudeau.

It DOES benefit Pollievre though.

It usually takes a Canadian Bacon moment where the US actually tries to take part of our sovereign territory by force.

Of course, that’s assuming Trump doesn’t get his wish and Pollievre becomes PM. Because in that case, we’ll likely be too busy fighting our own fascist battles up here to even respond.

True… I still regularly use my 2008 17” MBP and it’s always the RAM that’s the limiting factor.

This is fine to me… 2026 is the year I start looking to replace my M1. I usually go 5-7 years between refreshes.

The way DNS works, each dot is authoritative.

So if you want the IPv4 for scam.legitco.com, your computer contacts the authoritative DNS for “com” and asks it for the address for legitco’s DNS. You then contact legitco.com and ask it for scam’s IP. Which it won’t have.

This is simplified, because in reality there’s DNS caching and pooling, but that wouldn’t affect your scenario. Although, cache poisoning IS a thing, as is BGP hijacking where the IP of the DNS itself may get redirected to a different machine.

Register to get on the voting list whenever you want; once you’re registered, you’ll be notified of any municipal, provincial or federal elections via a card in the mail.

Options will differ depending on your riding, as we vote for our representative, not the PM/Premier etc.

Check online to see what your riding is for provincial/federal elections, and who won last time. Decide if you agree with their platform, and if you don’t, look at what the other representatives in your riding had as a platform (their websites should all still be up). Check Wikipedia to learn more about the people.

All that should take about 20-30 minutes, after which you’ll be decently informed before the next election comes around.

Likewise, wealth shouldn’t be a barrier to entry to becoming a doctor. We need to re-think education.

Musk hasn’t made a reality show yet, and Trump hasn’t become rich, despite multiple attempts. Maybe that’s the expertise they’re talking about?

To throw one more into the mix:

“Left” and “Right” came from the UK parliamentary system where the representatives of the two major parties sat on the left and right side of the speaker of the house in the House of Commons.

It just so happened that the ones on the right had conservative values (keep things as they are, don’t spend what we don’t have, local economy first, preserve traditional values) while those seated on the left had liberal values (let’s make things even better, spend for the future, improve the global economy, make life better for all our constituents).

That was the starting point for what it’s all morphed into today.

It’s not that simple. Deterrence can be useful to minimize certain types of crime being normalized. But it’s not going to stop someone who thinks they’re going to be arrested no matter what they do, nor the person who truly believes they’ll never get caught, nor the person who commits the crime out of ignorance, nor crimes committed in the moment without considering the consequences.
