I'm extremely new to all of this. I like the look of dehaze as well. Not sure the difference though.

They have Mr. VP (he/his) just to themselves.

Every time I went into the Bay in Dorval it would be depressing. To think that this store has not been changed since my father was a child. Management never spent money to renovate and the maintenance on their infrastructure has always been shit.

They're like the Canadian Tire of clothing. The regular price seemed not to matter because there was always a 20-60% off code or promotion. The quality of clothing has also dropped hard. Besides Levi's jeans, and I guess Docker.. the rest of it is fast fashion, drop ship-esque companies.

Just imagine.. Air Canada, Bombardier and O&G companies would be mainly a crown corp

How does that work with NORAD

Unsure if it has changed but in 2018 I was approving and declining transactions manually before 9:30AM that would go through accounts with insufficient funds. Any transaction I didn't have time to go through before the 9:30 cut off would auto NSF

It's the Trump administration -- it doesn't matter what it says.

I want to play AC so badly. Every time I pick it up my brain is hit with nostalgia from when I played it as a kid on my N64 and GC but now as an adult I enjoy it more watching my kids play it and talk to me about their villagers.

I guess it depends on what you mean by infrastructure.

Feds have their own IT group which usually means out sourced or heavily contracted to firms and consultants.

Feds manage, maintain some bridges and dams, Alaska highway, ports, seaways, and all their Crown real property. If it isn't Crown owned it is leased. Unsure who the biggest landlord is I would assume Brookfield. Big real estate projects are contracted out, look at Parliament. Usually it's BGIS, PCL, EllisDon or local contractors.

Now imagine if our federal government would do the same. Reduces our contractor expenses and gives our local economy a much needed push.

GrapheneOS will not work on LG but you might be able to get Lineage on it.

 

I recently stumbled across a post in the c/Europe community (https://lemmy.world/post/24641691) that highlighted alternatives to software and infrastructure from Big Tech companies. This got me thinking - is there a similar resource available for Canadians, or would there be interest in creating one?
