The CRTC has asked Rogers, Bell and Telus to share steps they're taking to reduce roaming rates by November 4th.
Well if they asked....
Interestingly my CCwGTV very rarely shows an ad. Perhaps once a month. I hide it as soon as I see it.
The more I read into some parts of the 20th century history the more instances I find. Most conspiracy theories are bullshit, but the footprints of anti-left interference are plenty.
That's when a dehumanized other comes in handy.
Seems like there's truth to that:
Following the eruption of the Korean War, US President Harry S. Truman dispatched the United States Seventh Fleet into the Taiwan Strait to prevent hostilities between the ROC and the PRC. The United States also passed the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty and the Formosa Resolution of 1955, granting substantial foreign aid to the KMT regime between 1951 and 1965. The US foreign aid stabilized prices in Taiwan by 1952. The KMT government instituted many laws and land reforms that it had never effectively enacted on mainland China. Economic development was encouraged by American aid and programs such as the Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction, which turned the agricultural sector into the basis for later growth. Under the combined stimulus of the land reform and the agricultural development programs, agricultural production increased at an average annual rate of 4 percent from 1952 to 1959. The government also implemented a policy of import substitution industrialization, attempting to produce imported goods domestically. The policy promoted the development of textile, food, and other labor-intensive industries.
For some reason many ebikes are heavier than they need to be. And I'm not talking about the cheap tanks coming from noname shops. I'm talking about reputable bike brands equipped with Bosch, Shimano, etc. I was able to build a steel-framed bike with a 500W hub, 400Whr battery, real torque sensor pedal assist, disc brakes and a rack in 15kg (33lbs). Now all the components are light, including the frame (for steel a frame), but they aren't Dura Ace/XTR level. I got a mix of Deore, SLX and XT on it. There's probably another kilo that can be shaved off if one went with aluminum frame, lighter components and lighter wheels.
Something I stumbled upon while reading about this party:
From the 1950s to the early 1970s, the United States Central Intelligence Agency spent millions of dollars to aid the LDP against leftist parties such as the Socialists and the Communists, although this was not revealed until the mid-1990s when it was exposed by The New York Times. Details remain classified, while available documents show connections to prime ministers Nobusuke Kishi and Eisaku Satō from the Satō–Kishi–Abe family.

Yeah this is really sus.
Ah, not bad. Probably better than Canada in some regards.
Should try thoughts and prayers.
Oof, that mix is like almost asking for it. You should arm yourself. 😂
Please don't lie to me.
You have nothing to worry about if you're not vermin. Have you checked recently?
Did they think that about Telegram? I thought it was quite popular despite that.
Every time I hear SimpleX I think of herpes. Perhaps shows that whoever came up with that name had never had or looked up cold sores.😂
A decent view of Trudeau's thinking on a few popular issues in case you care to know.

> Researchers have used commercial satellite imagery to identify more than 30 points where Iranian missiles appear to have impacted an air base in southern Israel.
> Based on preliminary calculations of what happened at Nevatim, Lewis believes a substantial number of Iranian missiles may have reached their targets.
> Lewis notes that although over 30 missiles landed inside the base perimeter, the damage caused was still somewhat limited. That's notable because Iran is believed to have used some of its most advanced Fattah missiles.

Folks with vaginas, I'm conducting some family comparative analysis and I'd like to know how many standard pieces of toilet paper do you use when wiping after a pee. I posted some comments with options to upvote if you like.

On Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford held forth on the topic of homelessness, repeating his long-articulated view that many of those receiving government support should be working.
> “Get an application and drop it off (at) one of these companies and start working, you need to start working if you’re healthy — bottom line — if you’re unhealthy, I’ll take care of you the rest of my life, your life, we’ll take care of you,” the premier said. > > “But if you’re healthy, get off your A-S-S and start working like everyone else is.”
> The Toronto District School Board is holding a special meeting on Wednesday evening to discuss a field trip to a protest in support of an Indigenous community last week. According to videos on social media, pro-Palestinian slogans were chanted at the protest.

Is that a thing at all? I doubt it but thought I'd check just in case.

Majority believe CPC has ‘hidden agenda’ it won’t reveal until the party is in office September 18, 2024 – The House of Commons returns from its summer break this week in a more precarious situation than it left, as the minority Liberals govern without the firm backstop of a supply and confidence ag...
> In the absence of these important policy proposals, there is evidently some apprehension among Canadians. Half (46%) say they are “fearful” of the CPC forming government, while fewer (35%) anticipate it with hope. A majority (54%) suspect Poilievre and the CPC have a “hidden agenda” that won’t be revealed until after the party wins the elections. > > There is also some doubt that a Poilievre-led government can balance the budget and lower income taxes as promised, even if most view them to be “good things”. More than two-in-five (45%) say neither will happen. > > !
> Over the years, Live Nation has also been buying up independent local venues. The company currently owns several concert halls in Canada: the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver; Midway in Edmonton; and Budweiser Stage, Danforth Music Hall, History, RBC Echo Beach, Velvet Underground, and most recently, The Opera House in Toronto.
> The Teamsters union has served Canadian National Railway (CN) with a 72-hour strike notice, hours after saying it was taking down picket lines and workers were returning to the job.
Albertan minister, a Chamber of Commerce guy and a CN rail official. No union representation. This is a bit shameful from the CBC. At least the interviewer did ask a few questions on behalf of labor.
I asked a relative to look for RealVNC on the Play Store and install it. Once they were done, I asked them to fulfill a basic task inside RealVNC and they were really confused by my instructions. I took a look at their phone, lo and behold, they had installed a different app. I asked them to repeat the install procedure while I watched. They punched in "realvnc" in the search box, two identically formatted results appeared. Their finger instinctively clicked the Install button on the top result. It was an ad. 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦
