One of the best news after a long time, LOL!! Sooner or later expecting more good news from all these AI slops and BS. RIP My Friend. never used SORA or even visited the website. LOL!!
I hope you are allowed to operate in Canada Freely. If I am right, there is already something called Bill C-22, which is again a censorship and state level surveillance act under the guise of Child protection. Sooner or later Canada introduce this rule too.
Carney also recently signaled that he was open to a "debate" on a child social media ban. Such a ban would likely be enforced by age verification.
You should preemptively be messaging the Liberal cabinet ministers. And make sure to explicitly demand that anything that could force age verification or age assurance on Canadians is rejected:
> Marc Miller (Heritage Minister, the minister responsible for the upcoming online harms legislation that might implement such a ban): Marc.Miller@parl.gc.ca
> Sean Fraser (Justice Minister): sean.fraser@parl.gc.ca
> Mark Carney (Prime Minister): mark.carney@parl.gc.ca
> Mélanie Joly (Minister of Industry): melanie.joly@parl.gc.ca
It may also be worth messaging:
> Gary Anandasangaree (Minister of Public Safety): gary.anand@parl.gc.ca
> Rechie Valdez (Minister of Women and Gender Equality): rechie.valdez@parl.gc.ca
anything that comes out of the BBC should be considered as propaganda or a lie. wondering the timing and what they are trying to achieve this, by posting this now.
Nothing that anyone ever posts anywhere is completely free from bias. What singles the BBC out as somehow uniquely deserving of scorn? In what way is everything single thing they post untrustworthy? Did you read the article? It happened exactly 100 years ago, which presumably is why they posted it
Incredibly isolated - Canada is a huge country. Property taxes, access to basic services, Power/Gas might be incredibly expensive. Groceries are very expensive. Too expensive to build homes in those locations, because of isolation. there is a reason these properties sold for 10 dollars.
Population 5,000. An hours drive from Timmins, 700 km North of Toronto.
Much bigger and closer to other towns than where I grew up. Isolated is relative.
There are houses there already, so it's certainly possible to build there. Probably requires being able to hire and load a double trailer semi, cast a concrete slab, do some plumbing and electrical work yourself.
"Vast new holdings of grain, natural gas and oil suggest trouble ahead",The economist try to portray as if it's bad thing. you can print as much as money you want or simply generate in computer, but commodities are useful items. China is doing the right thing.
When they put hidden cameras inside packages to catch porch pirates, plenty of thieves have a decent apartment, big screen TV. They’re not stealing groceries, they’re stealing things to fence.
of course it does. you steal 20 deoderant sticks, 3 jugs of laundry detergent, 6 packs of gillete razors, and a couple of 12 packs of RX Bars, and you can fence that for $60-80 in SF. You can easily do a couple of fencing runs a day. conservatively thats $2400 a month if you do 2x runs a day 5 days a week lol. Plenty of people in SF make a living like this. Every couple of months the feds catch a fencing operation selling millions of dollars of stolen items on ebay a year.
Deoderant in particular is incredibly profitable because it sells super well on ebay. Just search old spice deoderant on ebay and look at all of the obviously stolen merchandise.
It's funny though, because it kinda creates tons of jobs. the highly incompetent just steal and sell to fencers, the semi-incompetent buy stolen goods and fence them on ebay, and poor consumers get to buy slightly cheaper goods on ebay. the only people who lose are stores elling goods, and consumers who have to ask salespeople to open the locked up merchandise.
