Does no one remember the Ashley Madison leaks including .gc.ca emails?

There's a HUGE lobbying effort to convince the people in power that this is a good idea. Lots of tech-surveillance companies bidding for this to go through, so everyone is forced to use their services. You think identity theft is bad now? Wait until you need to put your ID on the internet and that gets leaked.

Immediate impact:

• wealth tax.

Medium term:

• death tax.
• nonprofit land developments.
• redefinition of the goal of a public corporation from maximizing profit for shareholders to something that makes sense.

Long term:

• effective antitrust legislation, policy, and enforcement.
• worker owned co-ops
• civic education

Edit: I forgot unions and labour protection in immediate impact.

The Canadian conservatives are in bed with the AfD. They hang out. https://newsie.social/@LALegault/111797431037370877

Do trans people not face enough systemic barriers?

I left Reddit with the API fiasco and never looked back. Happier without it.

Well, it's /r/Canada, which is just a right winged mod-controlled shit hole. All the progressives went to /r/onguardforthee a long time ago.

It's that same sovereign nation's acting chief asking for a DNA test. It's between them now.

Pro tip: for the workday applications with the manual forms, I have a separate file I upload without formatting that perfectly fills out the forms in the fields they want, then I upload a formatted resume.

I haven't tried it yet, but I met one of the food scientists who work here.

The big thing about what they're doing here is that they're not extruding the product, so you can actually have customized textures in your food that mimick structures and textures in animal protein. Think a slab of steak with marbling vs a hot dog or a hamburger patty.

It's a huge next step towards great meat alternatives. It might not be perfect yet, but that's only a matter of time.
