"What they're effectively saying is that they want data retained on every single Canadian that subscribes to a wireless provider or an internet provider so that they can search the haystack for the needle so to speak, if the need arises," he said.

He gave the example of someone who carries their cell phone everywhere they go, "which is pretty typical."

"Every time they move with the cell phone, all that information is being retained. It is not being retained right now. The government would require its retention," he said.

"It's very, very problematic."

And I'm sure that information will never be abused or leaked or otherwise misused, right? Right?

Meanwhile, in Canada we're getting generic ozempic. So kinda going the other way on that. Although it wasnt anything our government did, they just forgot to file paperwork.

It's different, it's more of an ensemble show whereas the books are more Quentins story. It got a bit silly towards the end but it was still a fun watch. I suggested it to my BF (huge Buffy fan, mild HP fan) he binged the whole thing in a week.

Sometimes you bounce off shows the first time. It isn't a faithful retelling of the books but it's got most of the major notes.

Yep. Three books by Lev Grossman. They focus more on Quentin, the show features the other characters more.

I'm so over HP. It was a popular book decades ago. I'm 41 (5 years older than the first HP actor) and I remember the "controversy" over the fourth book being so much longer than the others. I've read many other books since then that were better.

If you want grown up magic school stories check out The Magicians. One of the rare cases where the show is better than the books.

"My life was in danger! My heart can't handle chasing him!"

My fault for being helpful before I suppose.

Many years ago I worked tech support for a software company. I had one caller who could not conceive that our software couldn't print to two printers at once. She didn't want to print to one then the other. She just kept repeating "this is the 21st century" whenever I tried to explain.

Eventually I told her it was a question for her IT and she went away.

You sent me on a fun search rabbit hole.

It's tough to pick my favourite. The faux band shirt or the whatever you call this.

It's entirely consistent with his own world view. When things go well, it's because he's a genius visionary leading America. When they don't, it's was some other guy.

He's right, as obvious as the advice sounds. Poilievre blew what should have been an easy win because (in part) he only talked to people who already supported him.

The NDP in Ontario has been in Opposition for years now because Doug Ford is good at winning elections. He's a dreadful premier, but he's an excellent retail politician.

Once you start winning you have a record you can point to and that helps you build momentum to win again.

Stingrays have been around for ages, I have to imagine there are more sophisticated versions. We know ICE is using apps developed by Palantir. Usually "fear mongering" only applies to unreasonable fears.

If I were going to one of these, I'd leave my phone at home, or keep it in a Faraday bag.
