Can Signal call landlines or mobiles over the phone network? The big reason these folks are using Skype is to call phones on the phone network.

Central figures promoting the China interference scandal are funded by the US. One of the most quoted individuals decrying Chinese interference in Canada, Mehmet Tohti, has worked for various US-sponsored Uyghur groups, notably the Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project (URAP), which was funded by the US’ National Endowment Fund for Democracy for their “advocacy” in Canada. Tohti’s URAP also played an important role in pushing Parliament to adopt a resolution calling China’s treatment of Uygurs a genocide, which pushed the Trudeau government towards more conflictual relations with Beijing.

This doesn’t sound like a bad thing to me? The article seems to indicate this is proof that US funding got the Canadian government to do something bad, but it sounds like quite the opposite, unless I’m misunderstanding…

Haha! You sound pretty damn Canadian so I don’t know what I add to the mix.

Happy Canada Day, bud!

Don’t forget the Bannock!

Where did you get the name?

As the elected Prime Minister, you get automatic top secret security clearance. The expectation is that the democratic process would have put the person in power, so we want that person to do whatever they wish with that top secret information. Otherwise, we would be losing the power of the people and putting it in the hands of CSIS.

All appointed ministers do get security screening, as that was put in place by Harper, I think. As a leader of the opposition, Poilievre wouldn’t be subject to those requirements.

As far as I know there’s nothing to indicate that he wouldn’t pass the check. He just doesn’t want to get the security check and get the inside info, because that would limit what attacks he could make. As an outsider he can spout off whatever drivel he wants.

So, if he doesn’t pass your security screening, citizen, get out and vote.

What was the original license that people paid for? Is there anything in there that would protect them?

One of my favourites. I think about it whenever I see people talking to their dog.

And he’s apparently good at it!

Not buying it until Zero Punctuation absolutely pans it.

How’s this for an anti-capitalist paywall-gfys, Fortune? https://archive.is/6rmjE

So, the owner of this specific store posted it. As much as I hate how Loblaws has been capitalizing on peoples’ needs, this isn’t Loblaws, it’s the owner of one store.

Do you know that for sure? I found this from seven months ago, if it’s the same manager, he seems to be getting away with it:

Pharmacy Assistant vs Volunteer

I’ve applied to about 15 SDM branches across Toronto for the past month until today. My applications were mixed. Even if I applied online, I also visit the branch to personally drop my resume. There was this one branch who told me that it’s nearly impossible to get inside SDM as a pharmacy assistant without Canadian pharmacy experience. I was a licensed pharmacist in my home country and I practiced clinical pharmacy for over 2 years.

According to him, the best way to get in the system and their records will be as a volunteer. He was kinda of disappointed with how the system works, claiming that SDM encourages volunteerism to save a lot on training costs. Is it true that being a volunteer will help me out once there is a vacancy or an opening for a pharmacy assistant slot? Can I use it on my future applications as well?

Please tell me this is a joke.

Honda is full-on for hydrogen as well.

Maybe add something to the title saying [text in body] and a quick explanation under the text in the body to try to mitigate the freaking out.

Or maybe just screenshots are better, I dunno.

God damn Canada Geese.

Also, I’ve seen tourists fascinated by seagulls in Vancouver which surprised me because I thought they were everywhere.

I was one of the fascinated tourists taking a million pictures of bin chickens. But, I was at least aware of it… because I remember at the time joking with my wife that the locals were laughing at us basically taking pictures of pigeons/seagulls.

Maybe there happen to be a bunch of pro-israel liberals on Reddit, but I don’t think that means “liberal”=“pro-israel”.

I guess coming from Canada it’s a different perspective since we have the separate Liberal and Conservative parties skewing the definition, and the Liberals, while certainly being pro-capitalism, also support social justice, and are not exactly pro-israel right now.

Yeah, fair. I think that’s why I found associating liberalism with being pro-israel weird.
