Anybody here use Vivaldi browser? I tried it out recently and liked it. Built in ad blocker, built in VPN, built in rss reader. Wondering what people are using in general to avoid U.S. corps?

Loads of browsers and blockers work on YouTube, they only fight the hugely popular ones.

I always forget that Snapchat has a public side to it. My wife and I just use it as a p2p messaging app for videos/pictures.

I am appalled that Carney has such high approval ratings among Canadians. I think it speaks to deep cultural problems in Canada, that we have been importing from the U.S.A..

I think it might be a deeper cultural problem than that. I suspect Carney appeals to more Canadians specifically because he is more neoliberal and closer to the Conservatives than his predecessor. Just assuming that people only like him because of Pollievre is, in my opinion, a bit dangerous because it glosses over the need for deeper cultural change.

Broadly speaking, we live in a democracy with a strong 4th estate, so Carney's support speaks to the ideals of many Canadians. And THAT is the problem.

That's fair, I've seen some concerning headlines recently about emergency hospitals in Winnipeg, but I agree it's a difficult task, and some steps have been taken.

I'd rather defund the billionaires, killing animals (even humans) isn't ideal.

A couple of decades ago they actually had "socialist" officially in their platform. It has been missing for a while, and I would love to see the label come back in their next platform!

I hear we're getting more 7-11s soon, there's really no better time!
