Call it 5.5

Not really; racism in general isn’t the issue. Canada’s been multicultural from the beginning. Bigger issues are things like cultural sovereignty— indigenous and French mostly. Skin colour really doesn’t come i to it.

Might help to know what you’re comparing it to though.

Also, it might help to watch “Race Across The World Series 3” if you’re from the UK — and a good interview is here: https://www.canadianaffair.com/blog/canada-advocate-q-and-a-trish-and-cathies-race-across-the-world-adventure

That show did a pretty good job of capturing the highs and lows of interpersonal relations in Canada.

Remember… “planning on traveling to Canada” is like saying you’re planning on traveling to Europe… it’s a BIG place that spans four time zones and has all sorts of people.

So you’re likely to spot some bigots, but there’s also plenty of welcoming people. Part of it depends on where you go. In general, cities are more multicultural and a little of more rural areas used to be very white, with indigenous reservations in the most unexpected places.

Beside that, Alberta is “Little Texas” and BC isn’t that different from Washington and Oregon states. Manitoba is really friendly, Quebec tends to be welcoming in the cities and culturally insular in many of the rural areas. All the east coast provinces tend to be really friendly. The territories are very sparsely populated, so other people are treated like a gift OR like something the person is trying to avoid — race doesn’t tend to come into it.

Canada is Trump’s backup plan for when Florida and Texas are swept away.

Loads of free land that could easily be claimed in a three day special military operation.

My kids have phones with no SIM card; they can call 911 and they can use WiFi when in range; I have them set up with a VPN to home, so that’s the only connection any hotspot sees.

It wasn’t just the indigenous people who were robbed, either.

The main issue is that Europeans had a very different concept of land ownership and land management; in the European view, land was a thing to be conquered, subdued, and divided up for exploitation by those who successfully did so.

The indigenous perspective, for the most part (different peoples had varying views on this), was that the land was something of which people were a part, and needed to be kept in balance.

When Europeans hear “unceeded”, they hear “land they never intentionally sold”. When indigenous people hear “unceeded”, they hear “land we never collectively agreed would be used in this way.”

Apple said “no” and they reversed course.

I buy a maxed out laptop every 8 years. My 2008 laptop just lost its battery this year, but still works when plugged in.

Seems to me that if the Federal government told them where they must live, that government has a responsibility to provide safe drinking water. For nations that are self governed and are able to move around on their traditional lands, I’d argue that it’s up to them to find safe drinking water.

Treaty status and details should also be taken into consideration.

Hon Chan, B.C. Conservative MLA for Richmond Centre, expressed concerns about the broad definition of reckless driving.

According to the bill, reckless driving could include late left turns in some cases, driving too closely behind another driver on the highway and driving behaviour that intentionally prevents another driver from passing.

I see the concern. Unsafe driving of those types is extremely common in Richmond. Those are driving decisions fully under the driver’s control, and illegal. If someone is intentionally doing something illegal under a government issued license, a temporary suspension while being investigated sounds entirely reasonable to me.

However, I can also see how easily it could be weaponized by an officer. Seems to me the suspension should be handled just like a speeding ticket — still disputable in court.

90 cents per charge? And no cable that you discover after you’ve pulled up to the charger is broken?

Seems like this will pay for itself in short order at fast charging stations.

Reminds me of The Life of Brian….

Superfluous “a”

That’s the question, isn’t it?

Can you actually buy a (new) car in 2025?

One way to tell: disable the cellular modem in your car and see if it still operates.

Depends; are they bilingual?

I use TP Link C100 cameras in local network mode and a Reolink doorbell in a similar manner. Standard RTSP feeds and an internal mini web server, plus plenty of privacy controls.

Both of these products are pretty cheap considering their configurability — they do both provide the option to do the whole cloud subscription thing, but work fine for me without it. I have Home Assistant on the back end to manage live streams, but find I usually just read data off the internal SD card instead.

They used existing archives; the pages were actually archived earlier. But they could only incorporate the pages that had actually been archived, which was mostly major services (Geocities, ProHosting, Lycos, etc) and public institutions.

The Wayback Machine started saving web pages in 1996. I’ve got Geocities pages I created at the time where that’s the only way I can access them now.

The frustrating thing for me is that Wayback only saved web pages; all the Gopher pages and FTP pages just vanished.

He felt abandoned because he mostly was. Not as much as the others who were left for the Taliban despite promises of a free trip to the US and citizenship though.
